Its intended for those who power use and are concerned about suspicion from their carrier.

I have yet too get FoxFi to work on an ICS equipped/unrooted Rezound.

Since going to ICS, it has IP issues and doesn't run on hotspot or BT for me.

I believe it is an issue with HTC phones in general. Foxfi wifi never worked on my TBolt, only bluetooth.

Yeah, the Rezound my wife has would connect but couldn't use the data. My S3 and Fascinate (S1?) both used it well.

Ive been using foxfi for a couple years now since my droid x and have never had an issue with Verizon

 

[kygarian]

I love this app but the notification sound is really annoying. Is there a way to disable the connect and disconnect sound on this app? I don't want to turn off all sounds on my phone but just this one.

Thanks,
Kygarian

FYI, FoxFi just updated, and it is no longer a free app. The not $6.97 version now has a 30 min usage limit.

Anybody know of a better wifi app, preferably one for a rooted phone?

I use the Hotspot Toggle from the notification bar.

Doesn't the hot spot that is stock with Verizon cost money?

Not using the method I described above. Also I'm running CleanRom 4.5 if that matters.

Unless you are on a shared data plan its $30 a month to use the VZW hotspots feature.
Wasn't excited about the update but if you use foxfi as much as I do its worth the one time fee of $7.00. I just hope he will update soon to work with jellybean. If I understand his comments he will not update to support jellybean.
I do believe pda net works but not sure and also not sure if it is a wifi tether.
Otherwise you will need to root and install a rom with built in wifi tether.

It was hard for me to tell if the developer comment about FoxFi not working with jellybean was about the "Free" version or both the "Free" and "Paid" versions.
If the paid version will work with JB the the consumer can either pay up or look for another wireless solution that works with JB. If both versions do not work with JB then the developer better find a new source of income. The JB thing may not be an issue for those of us on Verizon for a while given Big Red's track record of foot dragging with OS updates.

FYI, PdaNet uses FoxFi for wireless. As of now, PdaNet does not appear to have a wireless feature of it's own.

Yea he seemed vague. One of my GS3's is rooted on JB and foxfi doesn't work with it. Nice thing about root. But we have several unlimited lines and where we live we need it. Its funny we are less than 2 miles away from a tower so we get great 4g but no internet services otherwise. I live 45 miles from town. I paid foxfi the money hoping he gets busy on an update to support JB.

I am stock and unrooted. I have used FoxFi, since the gs3 came out, but last week I tried just using a hotspot widget to toggle the hit spot on/off. It works like a charm with no cost or charge, and I do NOT have a tethering plan with my grandfathered unlimited data plan. Using a widget bypasses the vzw tethrring plan activation. From what I have read, almost any hotspot toggle from the Play store should do the trick.

yes but does Foxfiwork on a Samsung phone? It doesn't work other than Bluetooth on my HTC resound.

i think foxfi does not work with htc phones....my husband has my old thunderbolt and we cant get foxfi to work with it....gives a message to that effect when you try. big thumbs up to using it with the s3 however, i've been using it with my transformer prime, laptop, and had a friend even use the created hotspot with their kindle.

 

[leroybrute]

On the HTC rezound it is blocked. If you go to settings /apps/all apps and scroll down to tether guard. That is the stopper. Can't disable it so kinda screwed with the HTC.

 

[nexusisneecesary]

It works on my xperia play
