Worked fine for me after taking the OTA update to ICS.
Works for me as long as I don't use a password.

Don't have the OTA update (one of the ICS leaks) but it works fine in WiFi mode with a password for me.

Foxfi fails on Razr after ICS
I am having issues with my Moto Razr since ICS. Foxfi only runs after a reboot. If Razr has a fresh boot, FOXFI works well. That's stinks....
If it runs for a while, and disconnects, (accidently or for a reason), a fresh boot is required to restart FOXFI. Annoying....
Error message received: Foxfi fails, use Bluetooth.
I go to Bluetooth and that fails, too.
I stop all Foxfi services, try to connect still fails.
So, both options fail unless I reboot phone. This does not happen with other members of my family using Samsun, or older phones. Any ideas?
Also, prior to ICS I was able to us Razr native/stock Bluetooth to connect my phone's 4g data to my Ipad3. Now, that fails too, as does FOXFI..
Am I doing something wrong? I don't think so, and so many others on the boards are having similar issues. I've tried so many of the ftxes and add ons, and nothing helps,
I've notified Foxfi but have not yet received any response. Any help is appreciated.
Unrooted, .211 OTA. FoxFi works fine, with or without password set. If anything, it works quicker than on GB.
I hate to say this, but after I OTA updated to 4.04 my phone wasn't running to well - I did a factory reset and used Titanium Backup to restore my apps and system settings and my phone worked very smoothly... Perhaps a reset will work for you?
Okay finally upgraded to the official OTA version of ICS. Tested FoxFi and it works perfectly, both with and without a password.

Boom!
skadoosh!
Sorry for such a slow response. Oddly enough without changing anything about 6 days later it just started working. Kind of odd.
Not working for me. I am on the latest ICS eu leak (Epsilon V2). The device is connected having the correct IP address but the device cant connect to the internet.

Have you tried installing the FoxFi add on package from the play store? I don't know if it will help, but I have it installed and it works for me.

I have been having an issue with WiFi where it won't disconnect when leaving a hotspot. The device shows that it is still connected even though I'm miles from the router and won't pick up 3G. I performed a hard reset and on a fresh load everything appeared to be fine. When I walked out of WiFi range 3G picked up immediately. This morning, the issue is back.
Based upon doing a factory reset and it working, I believe it must be an app issue. Does anyone know of any apps that would cause a wifi lock or otherwise prevent the hand-off? I have over 150 apps installed and would prefer not to go one by one if someone can point me to any known issues.

have you installed the OTA update? (assuming you're still stock) it fixed this issue for most

how did you get to that point? did you install the pre-rooted updated ROM? if so did you also apply the radio update? (i really don't know if it needed done separately from the ROM, but i know there was a radio update included with the OTA)

I followed the guide at the following link and it worked perfectly for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770501
Thinking through this further I did restore the wifi ssids from a titanium backup. TB restores data only - could there be an issue with that? I'm just really puzzled here.
I just did more testing. If I turn "Best Wi-Fi Performance" off I can get the device to switch to 3g when I'm out of range. I'd like to retain this setting but it obviously doesn't handoff correctly. Is there a timeout setting somewhere?

I'm not following. There is nothing in the wlan ini file with setting listed like that. I'm assuming I'm missing something and need a little more direction. Thanks

So I just got an S3 (Sprint version) and rooted it right away. I have left it as a stock ROM. I have been using "Wireless Tether" (green colored icon) on my HTC Evo 4G for the past 2 years without any issues.
When I got my S3, I found what looked like an updated version of "Wireless Tether" in the Play store. This time it is a yellow colored icon.
I saw someone say that the profile they used on it was for the Galaxy Nexus CDMA.
I tried that and I could have sworn it worked when I tested it.
Well, today, I actually needed my tether and no device I own is picking it up, although it is appearing to function correctly. It grants it superuser permission and then says it is running.
But nothing.
I have tried FoxFi as well with no luck.
I then used Titanium Backup to backup the version I have been using on my Evo and Dropboxed it over to my new phone.
I installed it and then opened it up.
It was granted superuser permission just fine too.
I turned on tethering... and once again, it appeared to be working... but no device is detecting a Wifi signal.
Is there any app that works to wifi tether on a stock rooted ROM?
Any reason why these may not be working?
Any help is super appreciated! Thanks!
Also I just realized this got posted in the i9300 section and not the correct one... I dont know how to move it.
Mods?

Well, incase anyone was wondering, I just flashed a custom ROM instead and now it works fine.
Wish it would have worked on stock ROM, but oh well.
My phone is bone stock, not even rooted. I'm currently running MI1 (and stupidly took the MDK OTA when it came out, without waiting to find out what it did).
I have been using Power Toggles (on MDK and ME7 and MI1) to turn the built in hotspot on and off (free WiFi tethering, no root required).
Can anybody tell me if PT still works for using the built in hotspot on the new 4.3 OTA?
On MDK, it worked without a hitch. On ME7 and MI1, it works, but it displays a dialog that I need to call some Verizon number to subscribe to tethering. But, I just press the Home key to dismiss the dialog and the hotspot turns on and works anyway.
I saw one report in the 4.3 OTA thread that said PowerToggles doesn't work on 4.3. But, I'd like to get some confirmation on that, if possible.
Anybody know?
TIA!

didn't work for me. there wasn't a default power toggle in the widget section, so I downloaded one from the play store and it didn't work.
personally, pay the $6 and buy FoxFi
Looking in for the same thing.
I am looking in for the same thing. Just updated to 4.3 and since there is no root method our right now we need to wait and see if this powertoggle works on Mobile Hotspot.

According to nyonya, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46923662#post46923662
FoxFi WiFi works on 4.3. The info on it in the Play Store also says it works on Verizon S4s with the 4.3 OTA.
No root required.
Thanks man, but FoxFi requires to have the security certificate and all the crap install so kinda avoiding it.
I have tired both in the past and i found that the internal hot spot thing is way better then any software out there.

The FoxFi description on Play gives a way to get around that certificate thing. Well, you still have to have the cert installed, but it tells you how to get around having to have a lock screen. Just FYI.
I kinda want to upgrade to 4.3, so I think I'm going to go ahead and do it and if FoxFi is the only way to still have WiFi tethering, then I'll use it! If a better option comes along, I'll change. But, I don't want to just stay on 4.2, just so I can use the built-in hotspot.
I can now confirm:
- The PowerToggles hotspot thing does not work on 4.3.
- FoxFi WiFi works just fine, even on my Unlimited Data account. I was getting 30Mbps down/ 10 up in SpeedTest on my phone before I upgraded to 4.3. I still get that. And when I tether my tablet to my phone through FoxFi (post-upgrade), I also get 30/10 on my tablet.
- You do have to set a pattern or PIN screen lock to get FoxFi to work. But, the instructions FoxFi has posted in the app description on Play do work for getting rid of the screen lock, and FoxFi still works afterwards. If I go into my screen lock settings, the choices for swipe, Face, and None are all greyed out, but after using the steps they said, my phone is actually behaving as a swipe to unlock.
Hi guys... I have the LG G5 H830, originally from T-Mobile but I unlocked and switched it over to Cricket Wireless. I wasn't brave enough to try to root it myself, so I used a remote Rooting service through the One Click Root website and after 4 or 5 hours, the technician finally managed to unlock the bootloader and root. He tried a combination of different things that didn't work until he used the Dirty Cow exploit and that seemed to do the trick, so I was a happy chick. I noticed afterward that my internet was running extremely slow, both on Wi-Fi and on my regular LTR network and then I found that I could not get my Play Store app to work. The app opens, but just stays in a blank white page. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to fix these issues?
Maybe a factory reset?
