Depends on the Dev keeping up to date & how badly Verizon wants to block free WiFi (which you pay for so its not really free & you should be able to use it any way you like as long as its not abuse).

yeah, I've never understood why Verizon would not allow a teathering app without paying for it. Its YOUR data ...use it however you want!

Awesome
I'm glad they didn't break it

can anyone else confirm that Verizon S5 with Lollipop will not break FoxFi hotspotting app?

Thanks!

Yes works however I can't get my lock screen off like I could before

 

[David Keck]

Yes Foxfi works updated 2 s5`s

Yes works however I can't get my lock screen off like I could before

so, if I don't mind having a lock screen(4-digit pin), FoxFi will continue to work and allow me to do hotspotting via my Verizon unlimited data plan?

Thanks!

 

[Umass021]

Yeah should be all good

I have a motorola rzr m that verizon blocked and now I have to pay 30 a month for teathering with foxfi. I am looking to buy a new phone to bypass this fee. I was thinking of the note or the s5 or s4. Is your s5 unlocked? does it have to be unlocked to do this?

For my S5 on Sprint, only USB and bluetooth works...very seldom in use...usually on wifi anyway.

I'm on Verizon (contract) and use Foxfi from time to time. Works just fine. Glad to hear it works with Lollipop but that won't affect the three Galaxy S5s I'm in charge of. I've made sure none of them will update till I give them permission.

My FoxFi no longer works on my Samsung G5 after the lollipop update.

FoxFI on my both of my S5 on Verizon have stopped working today. Not sure what behind the scenes update they got. But it was working as of last night.

Same problem here. Worked last night. Today it times out when I try to activate mobile Hotspot from the foxfi app. What's going on??

Just killed it for me tonight as well. Was working this morning, now it's not. So po'd. Note3

First post...found my way here when I ran out of hair to pull. Mine was working about 3-4 hours ago. Now it just times out "checking subscription status"...

Uggg. Seems to be rolling out in sections . The recent update did mention in the ToS something to the effect of a number of quick-fix "security updates" because of some exploit that may or may not have ever existed. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it was just an easy way of finding and blocking us.

Edit: is anyone here running an older version with foxfi/pdanet still working? Until now, I haven't had the motivation to root the phone as its unrooted features suite me fine, but if the kit Kat still works with foxfi...I have my work cut out for me tonight. Any confirmation would be appreciated.

Same thing happened to me, 4pm works fine, around 8 it caps out, says checking subscription and won't load.

Thus is my only source on internet, I will be screwed on my homework if something isn't done soon.
