Rooted (and that's all). When I open the app I get the following message:

Not Root!

Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application.

I am definitely rooted but the app doesn't seem to work on my phone. Any one else get this, or have an idea why?

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

EDIT: So apparently my phone was 'temporarily unrooted' somehow. I went into Voodoo Root keeper and restored root and the app worked fine.

Don't know how that happened.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Thats weird, I'm not rooted yet. Soon I'm sure but at the moment its just not necessary.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I just saw a post at another forum about FoxFi. We know now that Sprint banned the app, but the story is that Sprint is also tracking how much data is used with this and charging if it goes over 5gb/month, so it's basically just the same as the built-in hotspot app.

Now, I'm not sure if Sprint actually has the capability to track and differentiate data usage between regular phone data access and hotspot access, but that's what I read. Just a warning in case somebody wants to look further into it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Very interesting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] groovdafied:
My thoughts exactly, it's like....why are we even paying this $10 premium if they are really going to watch my data cap?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Runnin_IT:
Anyone with a HTC phone get this to work? Website says it doesn't work with HTC phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
Yes, just go here and download. Make sure "unknown sources" is checked in your settings.

Sprint prob banned the app b/c they prefer u pay thru them. The link is here for the app. http://foxfi.com/bin/

I'm thinking when I was rooted I used wifi-tether app and was nvr throttled, banned, or billed any overages. Idk for sure but the app works for me & I'm not rooted.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] clockstopper123:
It works for me as well, I'm not rooted either....Plus it's a very stable app.

One issued was that it turned my wifi on, so I long press the remembered wifi and hit "forget network" then it worked without any issues
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Refresh and it works when trouble connecting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
It doesn't work anymore after the new OTA update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
Can anyone else check to see if is working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
no one has tried to see if this app is working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aikeru:
No OTA Updates for me but...

I installed this application by going directly to the website from Google search and did a quick test (can't do more at this location) from my tablet --- and it works!! SO awesome!

I am not rooted -- totally stock but have not installed any OTA updates since I got the phone (not a preorder, got from BB not more than a month ago).

I can't speak to reliability or long-term duration but I'm sure I'll do more testing very soon. Can't wait to try LTE on this, too!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jporter12:
I haven't rooted yet, updated to the lasted update, just installed this and it works for me. Maybe if you try to re-install it after updating?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smalldice:
I fix it when you turn foxfi on it also turns on your wifi and the problem I had was that the wifi will connect to my router and fox fi will not transmit if the wifi connects to a router. A quick click on the forget this network connection and that's it fix.

THIS FoxFi APP WORKS GR8 ON MY NON ROOTED HTC EVO 4G LTE!! I AM NOW USING ANDROID 4.0.3 SOFTWARE & 1.22.651.3 FIRMWARE!! AS LONG AS THIS FoxFi APP IS AVAILABLE I WILL NOT B ROOTING MY PHONE BACK!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Update is here doesn't lock up now smoother and much faster responses.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Even faster in 4g/LTE area. :)

before I saw ths thread I was looking for it in the market and all that was there was the Foxfi add on, when you dl that app it takes you to the site to dl the actual Foxfi app, it works great on my rooted lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Foxfi add on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi.addon
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] subhumanderelict:
So, theoretically, Sprint will be able to tell if you're tethering not just by the amount of data that you use, but also the type of data that you use. Will using the proxy feature in the add-on get around that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
I've had no issues since June still going.:)

Add on just enables extra features if you want them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rose4uKY:
I just got the new FoxiFi cause my EVO got updated to Jelly Bean and it wasn't working said I needed updated version. But now on my Transformer Prime I see EVO 4G LTE but it wants a password and I don't know what it is? I'm at home and was on my home wifi but now I am connected to FoxiFi hotspot it says and I went to tablet and clicked on EVO 4G LTE and I don't know if I gave it a password before and forgot or what? Now it said something about Sprint Hot Spot at the top of my notifications so I don't think it works anymore. I hope it didn't activate Sprints Hot Spot cause I don't need it that bad. Was just gonna stay at a casino tomorrow night and didn't want to pay for wifi there but I will if i have to cause I wanted to watch Netflix in my hotel room. But If anyone has this working with the EVO with Jelly Bean and this latest version of FoxiFi and is not rooted like me let me know. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Not working ATM. Sprint work around coming with next update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rose4uKY:
When is the next update going to be? Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
So foxfi doesn't seem to be working with jellybean...

Does anyone know of any other apps that would allow for free WiFi tether for unrooted users?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rose4uKY:
I don't think there is.I wish there was. Someone said wait for the next version of FoxFi but I don't know.

I have two questions about the screen protector I put on just now. I know these things are supposed to look bad when you first apply them, but does this look normal? It just feels that I should have a cleaner appearance on the screen. And if it isn't right or it's bad is there anything I can do?

Also, unrelated but I figure I might as well ask now: when I updated to 4.0.4, on the calendar widget next to my events a black square is to the left of each event. What is this for? I can't figure it out and I tried searching. Maybe I'm not describing it right? I don't know. But it's bugging me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpg71:
Looks like you used too much soapy solution.

In any event, it'll dry up within a day or two. Make sure you do your best to squeegee out any excess solution. As it dries, apply some pressure to some problem areas so that it adheres to the glass.

Post another pic tomorrow :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
You're actually not to push out the bubbles or any part of it. They will dry out, just give it time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Yeah, that's very much normal. As jpg says, probably just more soap than strictly necessary, but trust me when I say it'll dry clear. It may take several days to completely dry out, but don't panic and try to start rubbing the bubbles out -- it'll just leave stretch marks on the material (trust me, I've done this. :P).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Looks normal for a newly installed wet protector. As mentioned above, that's too much solution. Don't worry about that and don't squeeze the solution left under the skin out. Leave it as it is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmajpwc:
Okay I feel a lot better after reading that. Haha being my first wet protector and being such an expensive phone, I was concerned. But I'm glad it should be normal. I can't wait to see it when its all dry and set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
Way too many bubbles. You should use more solution, and spray solution on the outside as well + your fingers + the squeegee. Spray the piss out of it and squeegee the solution out from under the screen. It should look almost 100% when you're done with maybe some minor micro-bubbles that go away after a day or two.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
afaik the square color on the side of the event is the color of the calendar that event belongs too.

Aka if you have multiple calendars like "school" (red) "work" (green) and "travel" (blue), the box would indicate which calendar the event is part of via the square color.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
Your screen looks weird, I have Armor Suit screen protector. It was a wet application. This is the final product after 2 monthes, but I'm sure my screen wasn't like this when I applied it. These are my screen pictures, as you can see, looks clean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Watch out for the orange peel effect, I got it and instead put on a dry install screen protector instead. It was driving me nuts. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdec529:
Did you squeege the screen at all?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kehlan:
For ANYBODY that gets the "Error 921" when downloading something from Play Store

1. Backup all of your apps and what-not using Titanium Backup. (If you don't have PRO, your restoration process will take much, much longer)

2. Delete backups for Google Play Store AND Google Services Framework.

3. Using a root explorer (ES File Explorer is fine), navigate to your root directory, then /Data/App and copy (both if you have PRO) Titanium Backup .apk files onto your SD Card. This will save you the trouble of downloading it again later.

4. Making sure you have a flashable ROM .zip and a flashable GApps .zip on your SD card, reboot the phone into recovery.

5. Do a full wipe. Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.

6. Reinstall your ROM. Reinstall GApps. Reboot into system.

7. Locate the .apk file(s) you copied earlier and install them.

8. Open Titanium Backup and restore all of your apps and system data. If you did not follow step 2, all of your work has been in vain and you must repeat the process again.

Hope this helps somebody.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] androofoo:
Has anyone noticed the picture quality on the EVO LTE comes out a little fuzzy and less sharp when you compare the actual taken shot with the preview screen? The objects in the picture seem to have a glow effect. The preview screen seems so much sharper. My settings are Exposure 0, Contrast 0, Saturation -1, Sharpness +1. ISO and White Balance are set to AUTO.

It won't look bad for most of you, but if you compare it to the preview screen before the pic is taken, it is a lot worse.

MILESTONE UPDATE (Post #22)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chconser:
I have noticed this also. It's quite a significant difference that leaves me saying, "Why doesn't the photo look as good as the preview did?!?"... [frustrated]

I'm wondering if a screenshot would preserve the preview resolution as opposed to snapping a pic. Is a screenshot possible while in the camera app? But then you'd have all the on-screen buttons & whatnot in the image. Hmm...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
I gave it a try.....

Here is my original photo

and the Screenshot photo

The screenshot is clearly inferior.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
if you wan't my honest opinion id say they both look like s**t
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
It's a big improvement over the camera in my old 3D. I have already given that phone to my mom or else I would have taken the same photo with that phone to show the comparison.

I'm no professional photographer and I rarely over-analyze photos so as long as I can take a picture of something with my phone and it comes out decent...I'm happy. If I was into photography I would definitely use a dedicated camera but this phone's built in camera is more than enough for me.

Very disappointing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] genax:
i was about to pull the trigger for this phone but nah this thread really helped with the decision thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
it's not that the pics are washed out, it's that our screen is so good it makes the picture look better, brighter and all that jazz, you could turn up saturation if you want it to look more colorful, it has been said in mini reviews, if you sent the pic to another evo lte it will look just as good, I have no problem with it, the camera is great so to the guy who said he's not gettin it, please believe it looks good and there are ways to make it look brighter...

well get a god damn slcd display on your computer if you want it to look as good as the phone...I mean seriously,are we really saying "hey this photo looks different when i look at it on a totally different lcd screen"

same as the galaxy S phones..Everything looks poppy and colorful on the OLED display untill you load that Issh up on your PC monitor or view it on your TV and it looks dull and boring..

Peace out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
^ see and on my phone the second one looks wayyy to colorful but on my computer it looks vibrant... (on macbook pro)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
this is my point,and if i take all the beautiful shots i have taken with this phone and load them up on the LCD display on the deck in my truck,Its going to look like donkey crap...Also that nice shot i took and shared on facebook that im so proud of for my little nephew.Guess what,its going to look like crap because hes viewing it on a damn HTC Hero..

Just take your damn pictures and be Happy or return the phone,or in the other guys case dont pull the trigger and go get something else that will only disappoint you in one way or another.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
I noticed this at first as well. But I found that if I used the on screen shutter button instead of the physical button it wasn't fuzzy. Also noticed that if I immediately went to burst shots with the physical button the first one was fuzzy while the subsequent pics were okay. Finally attributed it to the pressure required to fully depress the physical button was jarring the phone just enough to cause it to be blurry. That is if you take a single shot with the physical button without using the half press to focus first they usually come out a tad blurry.

As long as I use the half press to hold the focus before taking the shot it seems fine or I use the on screen button.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
I actually stopped using the shutter button for this very reason..Did the same thing on the Evo 3D.. Pointless shutter button unless you burst your shots.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chconser:
I will say that the macros are the best of ANY phone I've seen & many dedicated cameras. Really, really good. Great shot here! :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
LOL this is because you don't have steady hands and you pressing down with one finger makes ur hand shake a bit as u take the picture.... which is expected.... it's not the fone is human error hun...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
Same here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] androofoo:
WHOA. Everyone stop. Forum threads end up being like that game "telephone". One message slowly turns into a runaway interpretation.

Let me clarify. I am aware of the phone's screen quality and that when compared from the phone screen vs. another monitor, there may be significant quality loss. During low light, the camera is sensitive because of the longer exposure, therefore you have to hold the camera still or else it will pick up the slightest movement, resulting in blurred images. What I am talking about is none of that. There is a significant quality loss once the picture is taken. Here is a SS of the camera preview screen and an actual captured photo. Camera settings were exactly the same. Distance/zoom area was exactly the same. This one does not show so much of the "blur" or "glow" I talk about in post 1, but there is a big difference in picture. Bad compression? I'll post a better example tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
honestly to me it ust looks brighter... not less quality but maybe thats me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
I think HDR gives it a bit of an exposure boost...

Without HDR

With HDR
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] androofoo:
I guess this wasn't a good example. There was very good lighting in this picture. The picture in post 1 was with incandescent lighting, which I will take again tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Likely the result of massive daily caffeine consumption ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
either some of these phones have some messed up hardware or some people just don't know how to take a photo(3 posts up)

that is a hot mess and my pics don't even look that bad in low light.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hayabusa1300cc:
I know what the OP means.

I have the same problem with both my epic, and epic touch.

The capture is definitely softer than on screen preview. Also more exposed.

I am a Photographer and also do my own editing with expensive software. My laptop has a 17 in Dreamcolor display (combination of HP and Pixar in development) that displays 16 million colors (desktop screens display over a billion colors) the same as premium phone screens. I have the saturation cut 50% to match that of an ordinary LCD, as I use it for color accuracy and of course use srgb standard color pallet over adobe 1998 rgb our any others. So I am too aware of the differences between performance of different display technologies.

Here is some of my work that should look great on your screens.

lol I did notice too! I guess someone could make an app that screens the preview and not use the camera to take the picture :P
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hi5josh:
I have noticed a lot of imperfections, but what can you expect? The device is fairly new and there are so many countless features. Knowing htc, there will be a lot of minor improvements over many apps with the next update, witch should be long off at all. For some reason the pictures you take while in video mode are poor quality, and i have a feeling that its going to stay that way. But that's just my thought on the matter. :cool:

PRETTY NICE PICTURES IN MY OPINION
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theoner1:
How is your screen brightness? is it on auto or manually set?

If it's on manual then I'm thinking when using the camera app and during previewing the phone itself uses the highest level of brightness possible to give you a better view of the picture. But, after you view the picture in...let say the photo gallery the phone will reduce the brightness back to your manual set level, you get what I'm saying.

I could be totally off on this but that is just my guess as to why your preview look a lot brighter and not warm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kpkimmel:
you could give the same camera to 1000 different people and you would have a 1000 different photos of the same thing. Photography is an art, the technology only takes you so far, believe it or not there is alot of skill in taking a great photo. If you pics suck, you suck at taking pics. Sorry.

But overall the camera is very good and amazing! Here's a picture I took an ancient islamic/kushan empire coin I have:

I also took some pictures on some weed that was shown to me, and it looks very clear and detailed nonetheless. Although, as you stated, the pictures do look better on the screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] androofoo:
Yes. The camera preview defaults to 100% brightness and the gallery/picture viewer displays the auto adjusted brightness, which doesn't make it as bright. I'm aware.

These are screenshots, which means brightness levels are the same @ 100%.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] androofoo:
I did not give you 1,000 photos taken by 1,000 different people. Only one person took it, me. I used the same settings and same zoom focus for both sets. Not that hard really.

No one notices this? There is a significant loss in color and sharpness once the picture is taken. Take a close look at the camera preview before you take the shot. Look at the color and sharpness. Then take the same shot and look at the picture. Try it in a medium-lit area.

I've had the Evo 4G before this and I don't remember that camera doing this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shadowxaero:
I took these today and I think some of them came out nicely.

Edit - Though now that I look at them on here versus my phone, there is a loss in color.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Has anyone printed a pic theyve taken yet? Any screen can manipulate a pic to look almost fake as phuck. Dont get me wrong i love this phone but i believe the real quality would be from pictures printed on paper.
