teathering question

[rayxxxle]

Since recent update, teathering no longer works. Any apps out there that still work?

foxfi works.

With FoxFi are you still required to put the logon security on the phone?

Yes to get it working - then you can disable it.

To disable it just enter the wrong pattern lock 5x in a row - you'll get a google message asking if you've forgotten your pattern - it will ask for your google login credentials. Once you enter that the phone is unlocked and it asks you to set up a new pattern lock. Just press the home button and bam! no more pattern lock and a working FoxFi.

Is this if you are running 4.3? I just got my S4 a week ago and minutes after I powered it up, it received the 4.2.2 update (I'm still deferring the 4.3 update). When I fired up foxfi, it asked for a quick VPN connection for a certificate. After that it works Occasionally, when I launch the app, it has to do that VPN connection and get the cert again. Is that all normal? I never set up a lock screen either. Is the lock screen trick because of the 4.3 update? Thanks!

how about instead of wifi tethering, are there any USB tethers that work?

Correct it's a 4.3 thing. And yes I also get the "trust this app" popup under 4.3. And again yes - the lockscreen thing is a 4.3 issue - but can be circumnavigated.
