OK so I saw on another thread that there was an update for FOXFI (Pdanet+) for NON ROOTED WIFI access. I updated the app through the playstore and tried it out. It requires you to set up a VPN but after following the directions I hit the wifi option and it worked. :good:
So the question is does VZW see this as a "Mobile hotspot"? It showed up as a mobile hotspot on my phones tray but it did not give me a warning about usage etc. I'm on the unlimited plan.
Could this be what we have been waiting for?!?!?!
i love this app. used to use it on my incredible, but then it broked... but now yay! works great on my DNA. just search for the full key apk to get rid of the usage limit.. if you look hard enough, you'll find it.
I have OTA DNA.. Not working for me. Am I missing something.? Still getting a warning to CALL to subscribe.
I have paid unlocked FoxFi version 2.12.4
PdaNet+ Version 4.12.1

Make sure you create a PATTERN lock, not pin lock. Took me forever to figure this out!
I use the pin lock and it works fine.
Was using clockwork tether instead for awhile, but just installed this to give it a try. I didn't know it actually allowed and enabled your phones mobile hotspot. Gotta love getting free apps xD.
it doesnt work
I'm excited to give this a try, but before plunking down the $8, can someone please give a step by step to maximize the number of people for whom this will work?
There appears to be a need to put a pattern lockscreen on...anything else? Download the free version of FoxFi, then purchase the PDANet+ key (link here, you won't find the link on the FoxFi app page...at least, I didn't until a helpful fellow poster directed me to this):

I paid the 8 $ and finally I have no need to root my phone.
used it for over an hour with two 4g bars. faster than the poopy coffee shop WiFi.
glad you got it working. I'm happy with the phone now LOL
I made a pin lock bit now cannot get back to no lock at all... suggestions?

Judging by the guidelines the program, I think you have
to keep it. But yea, this works like a charm. Still wish I could be
rooted, but this will suffice for now.
For those of you that have followed the instructions and its still not working...when in doubt REBOOT the phone. It worked for me.:silly:

You need to delete the certificate you created... Goto settings, security, and under credential storage hit clear credentials. You will have to repeat the entire process to use FoxFi if you want no lock since FoxFi requires the certificate/screen lock.

It isn't possible to put the changed files in place, but i can't remember which dev (either leoisright or xhausx) said the edited tether is ready to be pushed to the system as soon as we do get root.
Another thing I've heard though is that usb tether works without having to pay (and without unlock/root). I heard that the pay service is just for the wireless tether. I haven't verified but let me know if that works for you.

I randomly found a USB tether app on the Market called "Klink" and it seems to cap your bandwidth to 1 MBit.. peaking at 2MBit at highest. If you need tethering now I'd suggest PDANet or EasyTether. I've not tested PDANet on the 3vo yet, but I'd bet it'd work fine. It's not worth my $15 though....

Try to connect and see what it says, if they are going to charge you they have to tell you first. You will get a message similar to : You have not signed up for this service, to add it to your account call or go online today.
If you don't get the message than Sprint might be offering free for a limited time to get you hooked on it. If we don't get root, they may have a lot of new tether customers.

After I installed the new ICS leak I can't get internet on my laptop using my phone to tether either with wireless or when hooked up with USB.
I'm getting a 503 error in google chrome.

Was able to tether prior to ICS but not now.
Any suggestions?

On gs3 for Verizon there was a bug where you download any tethering widget and when you turn it on it would bypass the subscription check to Verizon. Try this?

If anyone could try ES File Explorer's built-in tethering manager and report back, I'd be thankful. I'm curious if AT&T and Verizon use the same method to block tethering. Root not required.

If your plan is capped at a data limit you WILL be able to use it. If not VZW would be in a lot of trouble. They got fined for this before. However those of us on an unlimited plan are blocked access to it.

Same here... any of the toggles or free tether apps still work. DO NOT hit cancel, just hit the home button and it stays on. Once its on you can still even configure set the WEP2 settings and passwords without any trouble.

Dont worry, it works, just hit home and not the verizon or cancel. Ive been using it just fine.
I haven't installed any updates and don't plan on it. So, what is it that I am missing from this update that has everyone losing their Root access to get? I sort of figured that Verizon would be sending out an update to eliminate the option of being able load the prerelease kernel or any other ones for that matter.

Or just use a different firmware. I bought my phone already rooted - I previously would have been nervous about rooting it, but since it came that way... and launching the hotspot is just a simple button click in the notifications pull down.
FoxFi has been fixed, as of today, and now works just as it did before. It will ask you something about creating a certificate (which you can read about on their site I guess).. anyhow, I updated mine and it works w/o utilizing the "home button" trick from before.

flash a custom rom then you can easily achieve tethering
if you want to stay stock rooted, there's a mod to remove AT&T from the signal bar so it just shows 3G, H+...etc that will also allow you to tether directly from the built in hot spot. forgot the mod name otherwise i would have thrown you a link. you can probably find it on xda

That's fantastic news. When rooting the first time, I used this toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587677. It has run apps requiring root so I think it is still rooted although I wish it would tell me when it updates because ATT no longer seems to find any except for individual apps. Once I got it rooted, I didn't follow through with a custom ROM because I didn't know how to check the popularity and stability of them. I would love to have tethering so that I can hot spot my phone when needed, and I would also like to have 'real' call recording as opposed to microphone based call recording. Assistance in where to go with this would be greatly appreciated.
