Me too!

Thunderbolt (Voice and Data on 3G!)

Bionic (Horrible Radio!)

Droid Razr (Didn't get to use it that much, damn Best Buy mobile sold me a used/touched/tampered phone!)

Rezound (Best Radio, Ever! Superb screen for its size)

Galaxy Nexus (Horrible radio, great development community)

GS3 (Better radio than GN - just wished the radio was on par with the Rezound, cheap build quality, great hardware specs)

Razr Maxx HD (Great build quality! Expected more from a Moto Radio)

[RAZR HD General] bwhite757:
I'm thinking about jumping from my SGS3 to the Razr HD Dev edition. Are you having buyer's remorse or would you do it again. I'm dropping way to many calls with my SGS3, even more than I did with the GNex. I really miss Moto's build quality..
[RAZR HD General] Xelios029:
Thought I'd tip you all to this, FoxFi works if you download the add-on thats in the play store for FoxFi.
[RAZR HD General] blacknet101:
by using this hack, when i use the USB tethering, I will be using up the Data i have on my plan correct? the only thing is that i dont have to pay for the Hotspot?
[RAZR HD General] Ban-Hammer:
Anybody try out barnacle? If not I can test it out.
[RAZR HD General] gtabnoob:
Yes nearly every app had been tested essentially, including barnacle. Nothing worked when the phone was released.

Now, Foxfi has been updated and it works so hopefully all the others follow suit as well. Feel free to test it out and report back.
[RAZR HD General] Ban-Hammer:
Barnacle is a no go :(
[RAZR HD General] OtechMobile:
I 2nd ur opinion on expecting more from the radio. It just doesn't seen to get enough signal bars as other previously owned moto devices. I haven't had any dropped calls yet, but can't really complain it is a new device and maybe it can be fixed on a future update!
[RAZR HD General] acorsino:
I have a maxx HD not rooted and I also downloaded the fox fi add on app and it is not working for me. Any ideas?
[RAZR HD General] trincisor:
Not working here as well

IM rooted any other solutions?
[RAZR HD General] antawnm26:
Im confused really...whats wrong with using the android wifi its working fine..Does foxfi do anything special that the android wifi app doesnt?
[RAZR HD General] trincisor:
foxfi helps when your data plan doesn't allow tethering

_MOD Edit- data used be data one could use it however one pleases, and then iphone came along and ATT asked them to selectively allow tethering on some data plans. so that they could charge more for tethering.

i think the back end of it is implemented using, APN types. Vaguely remember able to tether by setting APN type as "Default, tether". doesnt work anymore, atleast in mycase.

the APNs on my phone are locked, even if i make new APNs they keep switching back to the default ones.

since my phone is rooted there should be someway to delete network specified APNs, and use custom APNs

my guess is this should serve fine and we could just use the default android tethering on rooted phones

thoughts, guys?
[RAZR HD General] WinDroidGuy:
I did the hack, I've used it just fine on RAZR, Bionic, MAXX and a bunch of other Motorola devices.

This time when I connect any device to my MAXX HD I lose 4G until I disconnect a device.

Anyone having the same issues or have a solution? :)
[RAZR HD General] qqhsiao:
I have tried the Foxfi, and it doesn't work

I have tried the Foxfi, and it doesn't work

may i ask what other methods i could try?

RAZR HD built-in app for wifi hotspot it can be turned on and linked from other devices (tried another phone and laptop)

connected fine, but there is not internet access.

would someone please help me out here? thank you in advance. :good::good::good:
[RAZR HD General] WinDroidGuy:
I'm having the same issue with mine :/ I've tried a bunch of things and nothing seems to work
[RAZR HD General] ChrisTahoe:
I am having the same issue. My computer will connect, but have no internet access. My Nexus 7 connects with no issues however. My phone still retains 4G status, so it isn't a lack of service. I tried both FoxFi and the Settings.db hack. No luck on either. I'd love it if someone could figure this out.
[RAZR HD General] xlow78:
Did you try usb tether option? It works for me (only on ics) but foxfi works as well. Have you installed the recent update? I believe it was something like 0.7.2. I haven't, so maybe that is the cause of you not having working wifi tether.

Sent via Droid Razr Maxx HD
[RAZR HD General] jdk2:
For those that hacked the settings.db, have you tried this?

http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_2-beta2.apk&can=2&q=

You should remove foxfi and any other 3rd party tethering apps before trying that .apk.
[RAZR HD General] ChrisTahoe:
Tried it both before and after the 0.7.2 update. My Nexus 7 AND Xbox 360 will connect via WiFi Tether, but if I use my computer I can connect, but get "No Internet Access." I can however use USB tether, it's just more tedious. I've also tried going into command prompt and doing iprelease and iprenew with no luck.

Tried it and no dice. Same issue as above.
[RAZR HD General] rstlhiii:
foxfi asking me to subscribe to plan

I still have the unlimited data, and i've rooted my razr hd maxx, plus flashed the jb leak. Foxfi asks me to subscribe to the hotspot feature through verizon. Is there a way to get around this?
[RAZR HD General] syntrix:
Yes, turn off entitlement as stated before.... well....

However foxfi went to a limited free model, right? I dunno, I just use a usb tether, and it works great with the entitlement hack.

The masses are uninstalling foxfi, it doesn't work on my HD for some reason... oh yeah, they said their product doesn't work on jelly bean!
[RAZR HD General] qqhsiao:
then if settle for usb tether, i might as well just start with getting a mobile broadband dongle,:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

now i see FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root) 1.95

is this the version you are talking about?

or you "forgot" to mention it has to be 0.7x version in order to use?

well, all it does to reboot my phone everytime to start wifi hotspot service
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Running JB 4.1.1 on my RMaxxHD rooted and still (as of this posting) could not get FoxFi to work. Fed up with it, used this hack procedure, and it worked beautifully. Time to put my unlimited data to work.

The best part about this hack is we've now turned a "bloatware" app into a useable app, and I can free my phone from the useless (and not bloatware itself) FoxFi, Barnicle, Wifi Tether, Open Garden, etc., etc. apps.
[RAZR HD General] syntrix:
Foxfi, on their play page, says it doesn't work on JB, but glad the hack worked. The free wifi tethering app was working just fine with this hack, didn't need to pay for foxfi.
[RAZR HD General] lyjhd2:
can someone help me,when i choose the correct "Settings Storage", next screen says "No databases found", tried Full Scan and Browse, nothing inside

btw, when i open sql editor, it didn't ask for superuser permition

running 4.1.1 rooted
[RAZR HD General] princeplanet:
I tried this:

I downloaded the latest experimental version of wifi tether 3.3-pre 2 ( http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list).

I set the profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)".

I was able to connect to connect my Asus Transformer Infinity to my Razr HD Maxx. Any other setting wouldn't connect. I really don't use the tethering, because I only use my TF700 inside and at home, so I don't know how long it would stay tethered, or anything else for that matter.

[RAZR HD General] lyjhd2:
finally, resotre 4.0, reroot the phone, update to 4.1.1, repeat every step, now it works perfect, thanks alot
[RAZR HD General] canux001:
I came across this setting after doing some searching.

APN type

default,supl,mms,dun

It is the "dun" that finally allowed data access on Mobile Hotspot for Telus.

The first time I have had add this on any of my phones to get hotspot to work!!?!!
[RAZR HD General] jpetrach:
Will this work without root? And if not any ideas so I don't have to pay vzw

Droid RAZR HD running jelly bean stock
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Not sure if it works without root. If it doesn't, I suggest you root your phone.
[RAZR HD General] jpetrach:
It will not work without root! Thankful for refund button.
[RAZR HD General] syntrix:
If the original source was linked, and not quoted, then you wouldn't need a refund button. LOL.

Yes, the settings.db hack requires root access.
[RAZR HD General] jpetrach:
Sorry been reading forums forever new to posting on them.

Still I'm looking for a way to get my internet back without the root

RAZR HD jelly bean 4.1.1 on Verizon
[RAZR HD General] xlow78:
No root, no tethering. Courtesy of Verizon Wireless greed!
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Pay VeeZeeDub 20 bones a month. No other option if you're dead set against rooting.
[RAZR HD General] jpetrach:
I'm not against rooting, I would rather wait until the dev team breaks JB. Then I can just root. Had a bad ROM and bricked HTC inc 2. Love the RAZR
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
With the utility 1.10 allowing people to go back to ICS, root, then return to JB, I doubt the devs are going to work on rooting JB. I followed the utility 1.10 procedure and it worked perfect. I recommend that, else live without wireless tethering.
[RAZR HD General] Ban-Hammer:
I remember when GB leaked for the X2, and came pre-rooted thanks to P3Droid. Why can't custom roms be like that anymore?
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Basically because the world got itself in a big damn hurry, and people more than likely don't want to reinvent the wheel so to speak :)
[RAZR HD General] sastone75:
JB 4.1.1 and wifi hack

Could you point me in the direction of the exact procedure use use to root and also apply the wifi hack? Also, if I'm reading this correctly you are saying that it does still work on JB 4.1.1 (I just got a RMaxxHD as well. LOVE it but haven't updated from ICS because I don't wanna loose wifi.) I have an unlimited plan so it's not free unless I use an app and as you know no current apps work on JB!

THANKS SO MUCH!! I know a lot about Phones and computers but it will be my first root, not my first hack though, lol. :laugh:
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Go to the Utility 1.10 thread and download and follow the instructions for using the utility. If you've hacked before, you should be able to read the instructions and figure out how to root, protect, and take the update.

Then come back to this thread and follow the procedure for using the sqlite editor to hack the hotspot app.
[RAZR HD General] tech_head:
SQLite doesn't work on my JB Razr HD.
[RAZR HD General] syntrix:
It should if it's the paid one. The free one (different name IIRC) doesn't work.

Guys this does not work for me. Neither wireless tether (switching the methods) or the entitlement check switch works. Any ideas? Rooted JB
[RAZR HD General] tech_head:
Yes,

I had to reinstall SuperUser and wipe cache.

Works fine
[RAZR HD General] patsoxfan:
Just curious. My entitlement check is on line 66 is that OK. JB and rooted
[RAZR HD General] sullytrny:
Also

Remember with this mod the line number varies

You must be rooted and have file system set to r/w. I use ES file explorer and it's in with the other root settings. I then use sqlite

ICS

JB

Help with APN type

Could you walk me through where you find this setting and how you changed it? THANKS SO VERY MUCH!

:good:
[RAZR HD General] mepstein10:
For some reason I cannot get either method to work, I have done the entitlement check change to 0 using SQLlite, but every time I connect, regardless of the SSID I use, I always get limited connectivity, and constant reconnecting.

Any help or suggestions? This was the main reason why I chose to root, so if I cannot get it to work, that would be a huge letdown. I tried using Wifi tether for root users with the exact same result. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit:

Adding details of my device

Verizon Droid Razr Maxx HD

My problem wasn't Entitlement Check

I was using the stock mobile hotspot and although I could connect to the hotspot from other devices and my XT925 could itself access the Internet, connected devices couldn't access the Internet.

After installing the SQLite app I found that the Entitlement Check was already set to '0'. After some research, I found that I had to add 'dun' to my APN type in my APN settings. It's odd as my APN settings were exactly the same as I was using on my LG Nitro HD with the same provider.
[RAZR HD General] mepstein10:
This is the X926, the Verizon version, so I am unsure if that will work that way for me. Also I cannot edit the APN. I can add a new one, but I cannot edit the ones I have. Any suggestions? Anyone on verizon got this to work willing to help?

Stock Tether

I am coming from the Samsung fascinate, which i rooted and played with custom roms with for the entire life of the phone. I was able to get the Rzr Maxx HD two days ago without loosing my unlimited data. After reading through this and other forums I have two questions still.

1) Is it possible to do a wire tether or mobile hotspot with the RM HD without rooting?

2) How much different is rooting a motorola phone versus a Samsung?

** For clarification, I never had any reservations about going deeper into development tweaks and custom roms with my samsung because I was confident I could always return it to factory stock

Thanks in advance all
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
1) No, unless you want to pay for the "Wireless Hotspot" app from Verizon. Tether I think is possible, but just root the d@mn phone.

2) Look up the rooting threads for the RMaxxHD and just do it. Very simple, you're going to feel like an idiot that you asked about it.
[RAZR HD General] juicejoeup:
Has anyone figured out a solution? Sqlite hack has always worked fine for me but I can't get internet access on my devices when using my xt926. Any ideas?
[RAZR HD General] 34Ford:
So if I were to go today and buy a maxx hd and it has ics on it, is there a way to prevent it from updating to jb hoping they get foxfi working? I would like to tether my transformer tf101.
[RAZR HD General] Ban-Hammer:
They ship with JB now. You can flash back to ICS and root and all that.
[RAZR HD General] 34Ford:
Ok thats good. Now this whole thread is about tethering thru wifi. So why cant you tether thru bluetooth, or can you?

If not, then I may go with a Galaxy S3 cause I have a friend that is now tethering his tf101 thru the BT and its on JB 4.1.1 without Verizon knowing.
[RAZR HD General] dvgb173:
I currently BT tether my N7 thru my Verizon Maxx HD. I can't use WiFi at work. However I am not able to download anything, get attachments, or update apps that way.

Hey guys...If you go to the Google development website android-wifi-tether (Wireless Tether for Root Users) http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and download the apk - wifi_tether_v3_2-beta2.apk. Just go to 'Settings' > 'Change Device-Profile' > select "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0). Enter your SSID and Passphrase and it works great without having to purchase an app. Note: I have tried wifi_tether_v3_3-pre1 & 2.apk and can confirm that they do not work with VZW Razr HD XT926. Enjoy the Free Stuff!!!!:good:
[RAZR HD General] tech_head:
This does work +1.
[RAZR HD General] 34Ford:
Turns out my new maxx hd has 4.0.4 on it so Foxfi works fine.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Well when you decide to get with the present and download 4.1, this procedure will be here ready for you ;)
[RAZR HD General] Waterickson:

[RAZR HD General] spencer88:
Do you need root to do this?
[RAZR HD General] tech_head:
Yes. Root is needed.
[RAZR HD General] kep1a:
Thanks!

I rooted my Maxx HD but had major speed issues with the WIFI tether apps I got only about 0.9kbps down but 2.8 mbps upload speed. Followed this tutorial and now I have about 6.7mbps down and 3.4mbps up using the internal WIFI hot spot app. I'm so pleased with that and I'm so grateful for the tutorial that made this as simple as answering a phone call :angel:

One question though? Can Verizon figure out I'm using tethered data with this work around? I am a grandfathered unlimited data user if that matters.

I use easytether pro USB teathering most of the time but WIFI is required to give data access to my android tablet, so this is really a must have feature or no mobile data on the tablet.

Thanks again!
[RAZR HD General] 34Ford:
Well it appears Foxfi is back up and working again on JB 4.1.2

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en

So should I get it, or root?
[RAZR HD General] spencer88:
Root and run wifi tether. That's what I did and it works wonderfully.
[RAZR HD General] recDNA:
I have the hd maxx too. Curious why you didn't like s3?
[RAZR HD General] 34Ford:
You talking about this mod in this thread when you say wifi tether, or something else?

Thanks
[RAZR HD General] spencer88:
I'm talking about the WiFi Tether app.

First root and then download v3.2 Beta 2 from here:

https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Then go into the app and go to settings->Change Device-Profile and choose "generic ICS/JB (wlan0)"

That seems to work best on this device (read that somewhere else on the forums.)

I'm using that method and it works great.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Fvkk foxfi. Just root and use the hack procedure.
[RAZR HD General] 34Ford:
Ok I did what you said to do and I finally got my transformer tf101 connected, but its to slow to even pull up google.
[RAZR HD General] spencer88:
Not sure, could be anything I guess. I use the procedure I posted and I have no problem. Running Razr Maxx HD XT926, JB 4.1.2 rooted.
[RAZR HD General] 34Ford:
Your not going to believe this. I finally picked Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and it works! I kept going back on my TF just to be sure it wasn't on my home router.
[RAZR HD General] majorpay:
Lol... I own an sgn, and it was easier to get tether working (mine works on rhd now), but I bought this phone because the radio/lte sucked donkey on the sgn. Great phone, but the radio totally killed it.

Hello Colleagues,

I have RazrMaxx HD (unlocked and rooted) and I have problem with mobile hotspot.

but computer show no connection to Internet.

Where could be the problem?

Are you using a third party app, or did you use sq editor and the stock hotspot app.

I tried also

WiFi Tether for Root Users

but without any results.

It works, but it have run when I turn on Access-Control and I sign my computer in Connected/Authorized Clients.
[RAZR HD General] spencer88:
See my post above to use WiFi tether for root users app.
[RAZR HD General] rafjak:
I also have XT926 like You. I have installed WiFi tether (ver. 3.2-beta2).

Choose Device-Profile - Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

and atill have no connection with internet.

I can conect computer with Motorola, Motorola have conection with Internet,

but coputer have no acces to Internet. Something wrong with routing.

Could You write Your whole configuration of WiFi tether.

Do You hack hotspot with SQL Editor?

Regards

Rafal
[RAZR HD General] spencer88:
What I had posted above is exactly how my device is set up. I've never done any sql editing in my phone. There must be something else causing the problem. You could try restoring your phone back to factory default settings, re-rooting and doing the wifi -tether app again and see if that works.

Trying to figure out what's wrong on your phone in it's current state may be very difficult.
[RAZR HD General] rafjak:
I uninstalled several verizon apps. Maybe it is the problem?

Now I can not restore factory settings,

but if I can not run Internet connection via hotspot I will have to reset my phone

Regards

Rafal

It works, but it has run when I turn on Access Control and sign my computer in Connected/Authorized Clients

I'm just gonna stick with stock, easy tether pro works just fine. Though it's not wireless.

I can't stand having to tether the phone to the computer. Life is so much better when I can activate Wireless Hotspot app and then take my laptop, tablet, etc from room to room.

It's also nice when the gf wants to video chat on her phone with her sisters and can just set her phone to wifi and use my unlimited data plan (hers isn't unlimited).
