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 recently got the Droid Razr Maxx rooted it and installed wifi tether. when i open up wifi tether it works fine but at the drop down bar i get the stock wifi saying something about configuring the wifi. Should i worry about the stock wifi reporting back that im using the tether option or should i just keep using it?
thanks
That's weird. Is wifi turned off? Can you post a screenshot?

The touch to configure hotspot is the stock app for tether, if you're running the rooted version just ignore it and it may go away after a while. Either way you don't want to let VZW know you are tethering even with an unlimited data plan but no hotspot payment.

thats exactly what i get. I rooted my razr and im using the RAZRX V1.0 rom. I thought that the message from the stock hotspot would go away when i changed the rom but the message "tethering or mobile hotspot active" still pops up. I have a rooted htc thunderbolt and that message never popped up when i used the tether. It could be that i have a custom rom on it but im not sure. should i worry about that message popping up or continue using the wifi as is?
thanks
I only started getting just problem after updating to the latest Asia.en rom. also after updating to the latest asia rom, the wifi output seems to be greatly reduced.
Glad others are having this problem. Just got the Maxx and updated to the newest OTA and then rooted. I get that message every time I start a tether app (Open Garden and Wifi Tether).
This is seems like some people get the message, while others done under the same conditions. Maybe it's the root method we used, I used motofail.
I dont think its the root method because i used droid razr root and im getting that message.
I wouldn't worry about the mobile hot spot pop up. Just ignore it.
Sorry to post a new thread if this is duplicated, can't find the specific topic for not-rooted Razr yet...
I am running stock not-rooted ICS and I did do a factory reset after the update.
ICS has been running nicely on my Razr, but last night I needed tethering and couldn't get it running. It did use to work with GB, and I *am* paying for the tethering service (corporate).
Tried Settings => Tethering & Mobile Hotspot => Mobile Hotspot (tap to turn on). This turns the feature on for a few seconds, it provisions, then places a quick notification, then turns off. I've repeated this numerous times.
Can also duplicate this in Mobile Hotspot Settings. Configure Mobile Hotspot stays greyed out, so can't configure.
Is there something I'm missing?
can't reproduce this,
stock ics non-rooted razr maxx
I've been trying since I flashed .211.... My experience was about the same worked at first then out. I can connect and shows connection with limited connectivity. Can't get data to run correctly works for maybe a second the goes out. I give up sucksssssss. I may go back to gingerbread I need my tether... The guys at foxfi are working on it. Hopefully they figure it out.

On the same boat...
Hi, i have installed an Stock ICS:
673.94.324.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 / 4.0.4
My device is rooted, i did a full clean install of ICS and also i am not able to tether when it worked just perfect on GB after doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435619&page=2
I tried the same tips on that thread but it makes no difference on ICS, i have tried the native option, WiFi Tether beta version with different device profiles: Generic ICS, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Droid Razr (on this one the error is: "Setting ad-hoc mode.. Failed")
I hope someone can figure out how to make this work as it did on GB.

I don't mean to be cheeky, but given you are totally stock and paying for the service, I'd be burning up the lines to my provider for not providing for a paid for service. In the meantime, FoxFi from the play market should hold you over.
Call 'em up and make 'em fix it!
Cheers,

Actually just discovered the problem last night. I will be calling them when I get home from work today...
That said, I would much rather work here with all you wonderful foks here at XDA than to be in an automated phone message tree for 3 hours.
Well, I called VZ support from my office. They verified all my account stuff and looked over the phone -- all looked good.
Then they had me reboot the phone.
Now it works.
Duhhh.
Everything turns on fine.The hot spot starts transmitting fine but none of my device can actually connect to it. tried with the tablet, laptop, ps3 and they wont connect even though the phone is actually transmitting signal because i can see the ssid but it wont connect any help thank you in advanced. Mod if this is not the right place to post this please move to the right one. thanks:cyclops:
It's not the update, mine works just as good as it did before the update.

are you stock or rooted?
stock. only thing I did after the update was hold down the power button and did a forced restart.
Yeah, I'm also using the latest update, and I haven't had any problems. I'm using the connection to write this post now.
I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone in between. That's really all I can think of, assuming it was working before.
You can probably find the older version of the app somewhere - if you're still having problems, you could try that as a fallback.

I just finish doing a factory reset now I'm putting all my stuff back once im done il try the app againg to see if i can get it to work thank you all for the help.
Wao just figure it out after doing a factory reset just notice that the problem was when you start the hotspot the wifi turns on and the problem was that phone was connecting to my router and the connection was not going thru tank you guys for all your help sorry for the inconvenience.
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.

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

My wifi works great at my house and everywhere else. At work I keep getting Authentication error when it was working fine before I start using Jelly Bean. I have called HTC & Sprint but if anyone has had this issue and fixed it I would appreciate knowing what you did to fix the problem. I have tried deleting it, the dlna, even was given code form sprint to out in but still not working. Sprint wanted me to reapply update but wouldn't that kill my root? T/u for your help.
What environment are you in at your work? Such as authentication method?

Same problem here. Works great on deck's cmx. So far nothing but authentication issues on my work wifi with every version of Deck's 10.1 IRC builds. Flashed latest 0206 last night and hoping for today
wpa2-static ip- 2.4
Well let me know if it works for you. Not being able to cnnect to wifi at work is not good.

I had to say it I guess. It worked. kind of..Here's exactly how.
Initially on the latest Deck CM10 from IRC. Restored a sense build and did PRL update
I had a backup of Deck's IRC 2/6 build (2nd one I think--clean flash)
restored that and dirty flashed 2/7 over it.
Wifi connected instantly and stayed connected until I left for lunch. When I got back I got the same authentication error.
This time airplane mode on and off fixed it. Connected for the rest of the day.
Before this I had clean flashed most of Deck's 10.1 IRC builds and dirty flashed a few. All would connect everywhere except work. I can't say I tried the airplane mode thing on the 2/6 build, but did on most of the others.
Backing this one up before I flash anything!!
Hope to have wifi again tomorrow. My work is a cell signal cave and wifi triples battery life
Spoke too soon....not working today
worked on and off. Connected again when I left and came back
