i have paid for the foxfi wifi tethering app.
It was working fine before the latest update.
Now the phone is erroring out and is prompting me to click on a "go to my verizon mobile" or "call customer service button".
all you have to do is click on "My verizon mobile" when prompted and then just back out of the my v mobile app and the tethering works fine.
And no, i have accidently signed up with a tethering plan.. i double checked to see if it did.
Hopefully this helps a fellow paid foxfi user.
Idk why but the built in mobile hotspot works fine for me. I get no subscription check

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.

When I turn on the wifi hotspot thru the june fabrics app, it gives me the error message but I just hit the home button and move on. The hotspot works just fine.

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.
Thats crazy...that means the update determines who has unlimited plans.... VZW is starting to crack down on us.....
Mine is waiting for me to get back in....I have unlimited tether so I guess we'll see if it blocks me.

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.

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.
Says no internet connection, but I do get internet as I would normally on my phone.
Was able to tether prior to ICS but not now.
Any suggestions?

I was gonna ask that same question right now. At least it is not only me. lol.

I know what Simple Mobile is. It's an ICS issue if you are trying to use "Wireless Tether For Root Users" or any other tether app that is not native.

Man I wish it would last ten minutes for me. Maybe more like ten seconds. And I have the paid version and uninstalled reinstalled multiple times.
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.

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):

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.

For those of you waiting patiently eek for root, there is a simple substitute for WiFi Tether that worked on the Note II and some other phones as well. I'm just leaving this here in case someone doesn't know.
1. Go to Settings > More Settings > Mobile Hotspot (don't turn it on, but select it).
2. Press Configure and set your desired hotspot settings.
3. Go to Play Store and download "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin Hotspot Network. Link.
4. Add widget to home screen.
5. Toggle widget on.
6. Press the Home button to dismiss this annoying, useless popup.
7. Enjoy.
This also works with Foxfi when you get the subscription notification, just click home and tether away.

If you are on a not unlimited plan you should already have tethering enabled, so no need to do anything but use the built-in app.
