The Motorola PIN lock screen could confuse you.ī. The side effect is that Android system will require you to set a screen lock first (and only allows Pattern, PIN or Password) when you install any user certificates. *Some Jelly Bean phones has locked-down the WiFi hotspot feature, because of that FoxFi will ask you to install a user certificate on those phones. If you can not find FoxFi please install or upgrade from.

*Sprint and AT&T has removed FoxFi from Market. *If you have T-mobile, you should use USB mode with 'Hide Tether Usage' enabled. It WiFi mode prompts you to call your carrier that means FoxFi has failed and you should use USB mode or Bluetooth mode instead. To check and see if WiFi mode can be supported on your phone visit Īgain you do not need a tether plan or root your phone (otherwise this software will be meaningless). However Bluetooth/USB mode works for all phones. This saves you $20/month from your carrier.Ĭurrently WiFi mode may not support some phone models and we are working to expand the supported list.

FoxFi usage is covered under the same phone data plan you have and no tether plan needed. Access Point is infrastructure mode with WPA2 security. You can connect from any computers or tablets or even game console. I love FoxFi but I think it is primarily for non-rooted phones.Turns your Android phone into a free WiFi Hotspot - no rooting or tether plan required. And of course, were you able to use a hotspot app after the rooting. I am going to give it a few weeks and then root then phone, though I would prefer not to.ĭoes anyone have any experience with rooting after the ICS update.

So I'm pretty sure it was a Sprint software modification that stopped FoxFi Bluetooth tethering. And this happened on both my HP laptop and my Imac. Well, as of a week ago the Bluetooth tethering stopped working too. I posted above you that FoxFi stopped working for me with the ICS update but that I was still able to use Bluetooth tethering. Watch for a bluetooth block in the near future.!!! You are right. I hope Foxfi finds a workaround (at least till thwarted again). I'll stop banging my head against the proverbial wall and try bluetooth Because I rarely have time to get on my computer, except while on the run at hotspots, I don't have internet access at my house and didn't realize until today that the recent Sprint update foisted on me by Sprint cut me off from tethering.
