Help! Free tethering apps no longer work after getting Jelly Bean this morning...

[RFanti]

I'm having the same problem, it seems that Verizon has found a way to pick up the signal than it shuts down the 4-g signal!

Just download and install Power Toggles Widget it uses your native wifi and it works perfect.

OK, I'm joining the leagues of confused non-working users...

I have a new RAZR M. Stock Jelly Bean. I'm on Verizon's Unlimited Talk & Text plan, which includes hotspot/tethering coverage. Laptop has Windows 7.

I tried the tethering & hotspot once or twice before Christmas, but I tried to use it today without much luck.

* Hotspot: my laptop connects to the hotspot almost instantly. Sometimes data gets out, sometimes not. It'll work for a few seconds and then nothing. Still connected to the hotspot but no internet.

* Tethering: when I turn on the tethering, the Network & Sharing app locks up. Sometimes the pop-up "click on the icon in the systray to see available wifi" icon is also unresponsive. When it works, it shows an unknown network and "Identifying..." Network & Sharing is still hung while tethering is on. I think (as with the hotspot) I'll occasionally get a few seconds of data, even though nothing indicates I'm actually connected to the Internet, but most of the time, nothing.

What would cause it to work sometimes and not others? Why are Win7 network apps hanging? How do I get this to WORK!?


EDIT: I thought maybe the 4G signal was too flaky here, and that was why it would work for a few seconds and then die. So I thought I'd make sure to use a wifi connection for the phone -- instead of having the phone use 4G for its network connection -- and see if the laptop could successfully connect to the tethered phone that way. I found that enabling tethering TURNS OFF the wifi. Not only does it not use wifi while it's tethered, but the wifi stays off even after you turn off tethering! Is that intended??

hey guys, I bought the sgs3 last week and it was running ICS stock everything fine with using foxfi to wirelessly hotspot. vzw loaded JB onto my phone yesterday and foxfi stopped working for me today. I was totally bummed but glad I found this thread I dl'd fattin hotspot toggle widget and will give it a try and post back here

Update: The Fatting widget is working PERFECTLY thus far. Thanks!

update #2: fuqelkfowebgjwbvowrgjbeoigheo!!!!!!! fattin worked great for about 2 hours and then broke. Same problem as foxfi 4g going on and off. So frustrating. Guess I'll try a factory reset and if that doesn't work will reluctantly pay someone to root the phone because without tethering it's useless to me

update 3: after a factory reset I made sure not to download foxfi and am using the fattin widget, seems to be working fine again bit is NOT as fast of a connection as foxfi gave (that's why I liked it so much) but it's at least working. fingers crossed that solved the problemo

I really don't understand why the internet connection with native tethering is so much slower than it was with foxfi? what a bummer?

The fatting widget works for me. I have Verizon unlimited data plan and Samsung nexus . So trying to step up my geek game. Thanks!
