FoxFi stopped working on my Verizon Galaxy S3. Anyone else having this problem? Is a fix on the way?

Verizon lost an FCC lawsuit to which Verizon cannot prevent people from using whatever 3rd party app they want on their phone, including the tethering apps. This does not prevent Verizon from charging you to use their “app” if you so chose, but as such, there can be no punishment for using FoxFi

One of the store reps actually showed my dad about FoxFi when he inquired about tethering on his old Droid 2! I guess he hated his job that day!

i have grandfathered unlimited, i was paying for the unlimited tethering and was keeping it to stay grandfathered on that too, but i wasn’t using it enough to justify the cost, now i just use foxfi, no charges yet. but i wonder if they’re just letting people slide to get people off the unlimited hotspot feature, and will later turn the locks back on.

That is not true. I just tried it. The phone still check for your subscription and then prompts you to sign up for tethering if you are on Unlimited.

I was told by a VZW emploee that the boot loader was unlocked.

Yes, seems to be just a glorified backdoor on/off switch now for the native tethering app… Previously FoxFi would activate and run independently and on its own, completely separate from the built in app… Would love some clarification on this.

VZW finally unlocked the boot loader… FoxFi is by the best free app out today hands down.

Wait. is this true? That’s a real issue.

Seems to be the case, as I now get both the FoxFi icon, as well as the native hotspot icon in the notification bar when I activate FoxFi, just like in the screenshot above. Previously it was only FoxFi… Gotta say, it’s kind of annoying to have both…
