Foxfi I believe is what it's called. it's free and no root required.

The Foxfi wifi is working? I hadn't tried it before because it says on FoxFi's description "works on HTC phones with Android 4.0" in the Google Play store; the stock ICS hasn't come out for the DInc2 yet.
After reading the exchange above, I just installed it, but when I tried to turn on wifi it I get the message ""Wifi mode can not be activated on HTC phones due to an HTC hotspot lock. Please use Bluetooth mode instead."
pardon me, but I'm not understanding this - foxfi will allow the DInc2 to send an internet signal via Bluetooth?
I have a kindle fire, which has no Bluetooth radio. With foxfi, I was not able to use the WiFi hotspot, but it said that I could use the Bluetooth feature. that won't help me with my fire.
There is a hack that allows you to use verizon's hotspot service for free. We are not alowed ot post it here but it can be found over at XDA. You just have to look.
I know that if you root the device, you can just turn it on without VZW being aware of it (unless you go crazy with data usage). Are you talking about without rooting? Haven't been over at XDA for the DInc2 in a while.
