So I can enable Wifi hotspot in slim bean, and I can see it in my network list, but it won't let me connect. I've been searching all morning to figure this out as I wait on the cable man to fix my modem. Any ideas?

When I first got my Evo LTE 3 weeks ago I popped on FoxFi and I could connect devices no problem. However, the data speed was soooo slow that I ended up uninstalling it soon after.
Now with the update to the Evo I thought I'd try again for kicks.
Now, I can't connect any computer/device to my FoxFi connection. They can see the Wifi hotspot but only tries a few seconds to connect and then errors out.
Major bummer.
Any tips/tricks for this?
Make sure that when you turn foxfi on your wifi cannot connect to a router. If your wifi connects to a router foxfi will not transmit the right way and you will get error. Just go to the wifi settings and click forget connection on the phone and then try it. I was having the same issue and that fix it.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned, I turn off wifi before doing anything with it, so that isn't it.
have you tried a reboot? my friend's sgs3 just had the same problem and a reboot got everything in working order.
When you turn foxfi on it will also turn your wifi on to work properly. Just make sure is not connecting to a wireless router and you should be good to go. Just try it.

I keep assuming that purple would assume I tried the basics.
I rebooted. No good. I tried uninstalling any recent apps just in case, restarted. No good. I tried it with and without encryption, renamed SSID, reinstalled the app, tried with Foxfire add-INS. No good. We tried the same stuff on my buddies phone too. Button.

I have wifi off while trying all this, no possible way to be connected to a wireless router.
Thanks guys
Even if you turn it of before starting foxfi foxfi will turn wifi on so it can transmit the data. Go to your wifi setting and click forget on the wireless connection that you currently use to connect thru wifi and then try foxfi. Foxfi will turn on also your wifi will turn on but because you took out the router out of your connections you will not connect thru the the router and fox fi will be working again. Same problem happen to me and it took me 2 days to figure it out.

That did the trick! Thanks buddy.
I wonder if anyone has submitted a bug report to FoxFi for this?
Does anyone feel the need to use the FoxFi Add-On package with the FoxFi app?

Yes. I had no idea abt FoxFi bcuz I had rooted my fone but I uninstalled the root 2 do the OTA update then couldnt get the root back. So I looked on here in themes & apps & found out abt Foxfi. When I typed it n the FoxFi add on showed up n the playstore & tht gave me the link 2 go 2 the developers website 2 download the app bcuz Sprint & AT&T removed the app out of the playstore, so once I installed the FixFi app I also did the add on. In the menu settings of the FoxFi add on app it lets u hide ur mobile hotspot usage 4rm Sprint so they dont kno ur data usage on the hotspot. It works fine 4 me, I checked it 2 c if it notices it when I chk my data usage & the mobile hotspot data is 0....this is a gr8 app!!

I am wondering if there is a mod out there that will let me tether my phone to my computer through the USB. I know that the oG EvO Let me do that when i used most roms, is this still under development at the moment?
Can someone please help with WiFi tether. I have a EVO LTE rooted. I have the settings set as generic ics I have mms clapping and routing fix checked. I changed the ssid and the password. I get the computers to connect but with no internet I tryed using the WiFi fix to use the stock hotspot and I got it to work for about 10 min. I also tryed Firefox still no luck please help.

Do you have access control enabled for wifi tether?if so you need to go to access control and check the box to allow traffic through a certain device when its connected.

Firefox is a browser, not a tethering app. So I can see why "you had no luck."
(From foxfi.com): *Sprint has removed FoxFi from Play Store. Sprint users must install/upgrade FoxFi from http://foxfi.com/bin instead.
FoxFi works great on my LTEvo, and it works with or without root; for many, many users I might add.

unplug the cable modem and wireless router. plug in the cable modem first and then wait 2 minutes before you plug in the wireless router. while the wifi router is booting up reboot your phone.
if this help you please feel free to hit the thanks button.

some routers wont release the certificate so you have to go into router settings to release the dns lease for your phone

This looks to have been solved in the Sprint forums.
DLNA seems to get toggled on by default on some phones.
Go to settings->wifi->menu, advanced, uncheck DLNA
You can either toggle wifi or reboot at that point.
I did try. But it didnt work, i gave u a thanks anyways for helping

My home network is WPA/wpa2 and my neighbors network is wep, I can connect to mine but not his, but everyone else can connect to his. I know I have the correct password, it just says connecting but I don't get signal, any tips? I'm s-off rooted running carbon

I've heard of this issue with WEP (or one of those wifi acronyms) not working. I can't remember if it's AOSP only or if there's a fix but I'd definitely ask in the AOSP circles if you don't get something useful here. If this helps in your searching, there's some guys with netgear stuff not working that posted and it turned out to be the encryption type and they made some changes and it started working or quit dropping.
Jayochs had the problem I believe

My Dna wouldn't work with my router when it was set to use wpa I changed it to wep and now it works fine. I guess it all depends on the router.

I know it's an android bug. But does anyone know why? I'm no developer and Idk where to look. It's only WEP secured routers. It would be awesome if I could connect to wifi at work.
