Using the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket As a WiFI Hotspot

[rgarcia900]

I use it on and off for about 30 minutes at a time without any issues...

I am so upset because when I had the Samsung galaxy S2 phone foxfi worked great but now since I have the Samsung galaxy S3 foxfi does not work through Wi-Fi I have to connect through Bluetooth.

I just got a Skyrocket SII on ATT and when I downloaded PdaNet and it says I need FoxFi to use as Wifi. Whne I try to download FoxFi, it says this app is not suported by my Carrier and will not let me download it. Any ideas?

You tried downloading this from Google Play? You can try scanning the QR code here: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...pps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en&token=fxs75ikO

Just for fun I shut down my cable and wifi connection on my computer and hooked into my skyrocket using FoxFi and played Warcraft for about 10 minutes. Ran surprisingly well but sucked the data plan down quick! Expected that though. Was just curious.

I have read quite a few user feedback that after they have upgraded to ICS 4.04, FoxFi stopped working. I am holding my horse and staying with GB 2.3.6 for now. I have yet to get a definite confirmation whether it will work on ICS since July when ICS upgrade is available for the Skyrocket. Anybody who has experience with FoxFi working on their Skyrocket after upgrading to ICS?

I have FoxFi on my ICS phone. If you search FoxFi in the Play Store, there is a FoxFi add on app. Click on it and under the app information, there is a link to download it direct from the Site (you need to allow unknown sources for apps first). Download the add on app as well to enable proxy so your carrier can't tell you are using the hot spot. I've been using it for the last 6 months with no issue

FoxFi on stock ICS for me works just fine.

Let me make sure that the stock ICS is the one released by AT&T? I do have the FoxFi addon installed already.
