FoxFi

My Foxfi is now working again also just checked this morning working fine has anybody got any of newer phones like Note 5 or Nexus 6 to see if its working on there before I upgrade my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Silent Patriot:
Just got my 1st bill with the $20 increase. Verizon got off easy on this one, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jaytronics:
Can you really blame anyone for speculating or blaming on the part of Verizon? They have a track record. It speaks loud and clear. Though, it does not implicate them in all mishaps and shenanigans.

Does not really matter now any way. All is good in your world of tether on the Note 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] maddog0331:
I have a note 6 rooted so it has always worked. And it's working on my Note 5. I never use Foxfi if my phones are rooted as most ROMs come w/ the Hotspot feature baked into the ROM itself.

How did you root your Note 5 on Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
incredible, a Note 6 and it's rooted! Are you from the future?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] maddog0331:
I mean to write nexus 6, note 5 as far as I know there is no way to rooted it yet on the current firmware version or if it ever was...I got it the other day to avoid the $20 increase since I had an upgrade available!

Note 5 working here I also have a Nexus 6.... unrooted but foxfi Hotspot doesn't work on that phone, never did. I could for but I use it as a play around phone.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

I have had unlimited for about 6 years?? I guess. An increase is understandable even if I don't like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] maddog0331:
Nexus 6 is a Motorola phone and according to Foxfi it won't work on Motorola phones running LP I belive. But if you rooted it you don't need Foxfi to run the Hotspot

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] clintonroche:
Exactly.... Just confirming the nexus 6 for the person I quoted. Ya... I might root it but I really only use the 6 on weekends and don't need Hotspot usually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nanlamb9958:
Foxfi is back up and running

I just happened to check it today and its now back to working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] clintonroche:
Just like the last 30 people that posted.... Lol ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ohary:
Just wanted to confirm swapping out SIM card worked with Verizon Jetpack 4G (MiFi4620L). Sim card form my Samsung S4 did not need any adapter (same size). Picked up used (looks new to me) jetpack on ebay for $17.77 delivered. Nice to have a backup in the event FoxFi ever craps out again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pospower:
Too late I already got my nexus 6p and I'm loving it. Verizon pulled the plug once they can pull it again.

Plus $549 for 64gb model sheeet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] BUGL3R:
So I can take my sim card out of my galaxy note 5 and put it into a jetpack, and it will work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ohary:
I

can't

guarantee it, but it worked fine for me. I believe it will work as long as the sim card is the

same size

, otherwise you'll need an adapter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] dmxoneIuv:
just got mine too, with the nexus protect. went to verizon for a new sim and mentioned make sure my plan doesn't change, i'm grandfathered, and the guy was like ****, verizon must love you. he checked my usage just for fun and was like "nice!" ... still setting up the nexus 6p, but i like it so far. i don't use my pen on my note 4 much at all, i do have a note pro 12.2 tablet i have docked in my car for split screening waze and podcast/music apps which is why i need the hotspot feature to work no problems. one of the first things i tried after walking out of verizon once it was activated. no fuss, just on and off, you have to admit it is a little annoying activating foxfi (3-4 clicks)...i know, first world problems. only other thing i'll have to see is how much i like the camera without image stabilization. my note 4 takes magnificent photos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] overuser:
I was all ready to buy the 64gb 6p from Google play, but they were out of stock. Even so much as ordered a case for it. FoxFi coming back up saved me the cash. I'll have a case ready to go though when the real D Day hits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] satseaker:
I am willing to bet it will crash again in the near future. This is why, if it was foxfi why did some of my lines not work while others did,then the others quit, did a factory reset on one of the phones and it worked for a few hours, if the servers were down none of them would work. Vzw is known to mess with stuff till they find the solution just look at the trouble with the nfl mobile app.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

FYI all that fcc stuff about them having to allow you to do what ever pertains to the new plans and not the unlimited, why? Because they nolonger offer unlimited plans and they hotspot is included in the new plans. So anybody that says they contacted the fcc and the fcc said this and vzw said that, I call bull****. The kicker on the unlimited is there is a fee to use any hotspot, you dont pay the fee you are violating your agreement, and they will use the amount of data transfered as a reason to take your unlimited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ohary:
I emailed June Fabrics and this was their response:

"There has been a temporary glitch with Verizon service in the past few days that affected our software but we have resolved it. Please try to turn on FoxFi again and it will automatically start working. We sincerely apologize for the interrupt of your FoxFi usage. "

sounds like maybe Verizon made some changes that affected Foxfi, which was then corrected. I personally don't think it was anything intentional by either company, just something overlooked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Android.Ninja:
Yup, after I emailed them, I received the same automated reply as well:

There has been a temporary glitch with Verizon service in the past few

days that affected our software but we have resolved it. Please try to

turn on FoxFi again and it will automatically start working. We

sincerely apologize for the interrupt of your FoxFi usage.

Thanks,

However after speaking with their engineering dept on the phone, they don't expect to have anymore hiccups in the server system. The problem has been successfully resolved at this point.

Developers don't need no stinkin' signature!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] VerizonsNightmare:
Verisozon out of Horizon: Law suit soon.

Been a customer for 27 years and have paid more than $65,000 Service cost + $5000 hardware = $70,000 in life time for a longtime customer and am on a unlimited family plan (Grandfathered in) , they have been throttling and blocking my data use...

I am collecting metrics and data packets of all my usage and bottleneck. Soon if they start blocking .

Time to take some legal action for breach of contract
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jaytronics:
If you would not mind, send me or even the rest of the community, the name of the app/apps you are using to do this. I would like to know some things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] anewday:
Interesting,how did you come to that conclusion? Which app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] got556:
....and it's down again. Except none of the possible options work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jeplin:
Are you getting the failure to connect to the Internet message too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
when I check the wifi tether or usb tether, it'll say checking internet connection for a while, then it'll say activation fail.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lovemyhoofies67:
:confused::confused:

same here! not working again :eek: getting really tired of their attempts to suck every penny out from their loyal customers :mad: we already buy our own phones!! then they stopped offering the "convinient" device payment plan in hopes that would force their long time customers to change plans in order to be able to upgrade but nope didn't work cause most of us are resourceful enough to get phones on their own. This is the final straw :rolleyes: i don't understand why they target the aprox. 1 % (that's all that's left of us) "grandfathered in" customers :confused: You'd think it would be too costly and time consuming for the company compared to what they have to gain esp. since they possibly push disgrundled customer to another carrier :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
just checked again and it's working now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] kalric:
I'm thinking it was a glitch and it was just a temporary outage. I wasn't able to use it this morning, but at 9:15am (CST) it started working again. Maybe it was a FoxFi issue with their site? If you have any other information, let us know. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lovemyhoofies67:
or that's their plan all along! to annoy us with these outages till we sign up and pay for tethering and verizon won't have to worry about legal consequences :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] BUGL3R:
Still working well here in Southeast Texas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] got556:
Good deal. Removing verizon 4G hotspot off the plan again lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] BUGL3R:
What did it cost you and were you able to use your grandfathered unlimited data with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] alhadee12:
I have a 30GB plan and my Hotspot is included. So, because each of you have a unlimited plan Verizon is charging you for the Hotspot without this service?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] azharflyz:
If you can't tether

Restart your PC

And phone

Then connect

Set network to home

Then enjoy ! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] dwhdroid:
Foxfi LIVES!

Still don't know wether to beleive it was a foxfi error or vzw crackdown. Im just happy its back and I hope it works on the new s7+ when it comes out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] got556:
It's $1 per day but they were doing some deal when I added it back on this time where it was like $24 a month. And yes you keep your Unlimited data. Just go to your Verizon page and add it or take it off. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] FireMac2D:
Works...kindda

So it works now. BUT if you have unlimited after say two weeks you get throttled. I use tethering thru FoxFi for my home network as Im poor. So for me I had been using my Xbox 360 to use Netflix. After two weeks of moderate use I can no longer access my xbox live account thru wifi tether. I can still connect laptop and such thru the bluetooth mode but thats it. If anyone has a easy work arround for the xbox, that be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] BUGL3R:
Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] nigezee:
Yes it does work, always have!!! We'll at least mines does😜

I'm grandfathered and been using foxfi for years. Never paid a penny for it and never will. Verizon doesn't throttle, (not me) and I average 120 gigs easy every month and never under 25gbps. Once I learned how to root and use my devices in a way that I no longer needed to pay for separate Internet and cable, I cancel everything and used my note3 for everything. Now that I have a note 5 and can't root, I just use foxfi and adguard which helps get by since I don't think root will ever see the light. Unless you have access to and old rooted device, these newer phones will eventually make it impossible to use foxfi; I'm getting software update notifications as I'm typing this. I'm afraid if I do update, it will be a foxfi patch. I've already unchecked auto update so I'll just have to deal with that notification icon that's stuck in the bar. Any ways, attached is a screen shot of my data usage from my last billing cycle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] BUGL3R:
I updated to 5.1.1 on my Note5 and it still works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] mcdanielvzw:
Anyone else notice on the free version of foxfi you can still enable a Hotspot after being over the free usage amount?

Se lnt from my SM-N920V using XDA Free mobile app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] wolferno:
Yeah but I chose to support the developers. After all, for less than 10 dollars, we get hundreds of dollars worth of service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Totaltelecom:
They should include hotspot for the extra $20. My hotspot appears to still work on my note 3 running Jasmine rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] darkw1sh:
You cheap, cheap, cheap man! Pay FoxFi for their amazing service, its like 7$ lifetime cost and you are premium forever!!!! support the people that make amazing apps so they want to continue to help. I hope one day FoxFi says I hate all of the freeloaders. I am in debt over 10 million dollars (medical bills) but yet I can scrounge up the change to support an amazing app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
I applaud your effort to get people milking the system to change their ways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] djcyph:
Anyone having problems connecting today? I reset my settings in the system settings to fix another problem and it stopped working not sure if I was working earlier in the day thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] aequitasmurphy:
Just wanted to let you know I was brought here when my Galaxy S5 stopped working with FoxFi. I uninstalled it and re-installed, started working again. Don't know if that will help anyone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] rosend99:
Working just Fine

I am using it just fine, and my wife uses it at school twice a week with her laptop just fine. Both if us have Unlimited Data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] drumtrucker:
After turning of VZ hotspot 'feature' on 23rd and using FoxFi since, today it stopped working. Connects but does not allow traffic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] b1gt78:
on the hotspot settings click "more" then click "configure mobile hotspot" scroll down and click "show advanced options" then choose "5 GHz". the hotspot will restart and you can now use it again.

you are welcome.

Just an fyi on the Verizon Note 5 with Marshmallow and foxfi is working great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JulesJam:
Time to declare bankruptcy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] yenkoPR:
I don't know if you have fixed this but try this : when on foxfi, when you do all the set up and everything don't wait the 30 seconds it asks, when u activate foxfi and it gets you to hotspot settings, turn on mobile hotspot right away, don't wait the 30 seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
You're replying to something that happened last November, Foxfi glitched then started working a few days later.

Also, foxfi never say to "wait" 30 seconds then toggle on hotspot, it's always "within" 30 seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Hawk600:
Mine is working fine, and do not wait 30 secs, just toggle on as soon as the screen shows the button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Number 6:
I can confirm that my Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge works perfectly with Foxfi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lorilucille9:
It's working on my Verizon Note 4 still after just a few days awhile back when it didn't which was the only hiccup. Hoping it'll still work after the Marshmallow update though.

Hi guys I have a problem I got note 3 verizon 5.0 and I'm rooted I pop my ultra sim which is tmoble and talk and text work but I can't use data on this thing and yes I did add the apn

Plz help any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
Being as this is the Note 5 forum, idk how much help anyone would be here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] xerotix:
I have unlimited data, foxfi automatically sends me to my Hotspot in settings and gives it the ability to turn on. I haven't read any past posts, only posting my status... I only know that my Hotspot still works as a result of foxfi allowing it to be activated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tedkord:
FoxFi hasn't worked for me since the Marshmallow update. When I turn it on, I get a toast message about all apps related to this action being blocked or not installed.

I never looked for an answer because honestly, I never use it. I only installed it a few months ago to help a friend download his S5 updates at work, where he wasn't getting signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You should downgrade back to Lollipop, seriously!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tedkord:
Nah, like I added in the above (after you read it), I never use FoxFi. I was just putting this here to add to the data points.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Yeah I know but it's not even about just FoxFi the battery life is so much better than MM and the phone just seems all around better to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tedkord:
My battery life isn't much different, and the phone functions more smoothly for me with MM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I was only getting about 5 to 6 hours max on MM but now I'm getting well over 16 hours so idk really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Techguy Too:
I still have wifi hot spot through my Samsung S7 edge, I have not installed the last update, I was waiting to see what the outcome of it would be. Am I to understand that the latest update kills Foxfi wifi hot spot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Number 6:
I have the latest Verizon update on my S7 Edge and FoxFi has never quit working except for when they're VPN server went down last year.

Be seeing you...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
Still working for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] boyq:
Foxfi is already integrated with Pda Net+ right?

I'm using Pda Net+. I could connect to the wifi hotspot but the connection is limited (no internet access).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Oatswesow:
Verizon is bringing unlimited data back on Monday 2/13/2017. Hotspot is going to be limited to 10 gig a month. If Foxfi (or similar) is not properly functioning on Verizon, I will not be changing my plan...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Oatswesow:
I'd like to know if there's a FoxFi workaround too... I didn't update, knowing that this would be a problem...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] wolferno:
How do you get rid of this update reminder anyway. I haven't upgraded yet and don't want to. Is there a way to disable this update reminder?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Package Disabler app and then look for com.samsung.sdm or com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer and disable both or flash the eng root kernel and type in adb shell "pm disable com.samsung.sdm" and then again "pm disable com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer" without the quotes and then reflash your original kernel but be warned if you go the eng root kernel route you'll have to put your Wi-Fi information back in and if you decide to keep the eng root kernel you'll have to keep putting your Wi-Fi information back in every time you reboot the phone so I suggest you flash your original kernel after you're done disabling them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gregcapps:
If you don't disable the update apps, eventually it will force the update. It will only let you delay for so long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] wolferno:
Thank you! Since the file was downloaded to my phone already, is there a way to get rid of that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] wolferno:
Hey thanks for this warning. I was going to delay till this weekend but just did it just to be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Yeah turn the phone off and then hold the volume up button, the home button and then the power button, hold all 3 at the same time until the phone buzzes and then release and after you get into recovery use the volume button to highlight clear cache and then press the power button and on the next screen highlight yes and then power again and then reboot and gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] wolferno:
You are a saint. Thank you very much. Everything looking good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SEVENEDGE:
For those who have an S7 Edge Verizon phone, and some how was forced to download the nougat update, there is a non-rooted way to flash back to the October Update (which runs Marshamallow ) and allow you to use Foxfi. I flashed my S7 Edge, and it is working fine with Foxfi now.

What happened was, I was havinf battery drain issues. I had done safe mode already, and I am assuming it was a rogue app or something running in the background, because in safe mode I had decent drain. So then nougat had already downloaded, but I never allow it to fully install.

I called Verizon, they told be to use the Verizon Repair Assistant. I did that, and when I allowed the Repair Assistant to restore my back up, I was upgraded to nougat! I was upset! Then after weeks, or maybe months, I found a video and was able to safely flash Marshmallow back!!!

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

After I flashed it back to Marshmallow, I downloaded Disabler Pro and disabled a few system updating apps.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Not sure if this is the one I watched, but here is the Video link. ALSO, IMPORTANT NOTE, when opening the APL in odin, MAKE SURE THE VERIZON ASSISTANT REPAIR IS CLOSED!!! I was wondering why Odin was freezing, and it was probably Verizon assistant running, so I closed it. Enjoy!

And... Just a week after Verizon upped the cost of unlimited data plans by $20.00 per line across the board (YES, YOU TOO... FOR EVERYBODY!!) they just Blocked FoxFI on all Samsung Phones! Greedy Bastards! Way to piss off your longtime customers Verizon! Hopefully the Devs at FoxFi can find a solution, don't hold your breath though, this smells like the final nail in the coffin :(

BTW- Anyone know if FoxFi is still working on HTC, LG etc?

Root gs6? Foxfi alternatives?

Anyone know of any alternatives? If I root my GS6 and use the wifi tether root app?

Any links on how to root the gs6 with the most recent update?

Also is there anyway to connect and Android phone to a wifi router the just share the Internet from the client side? Like reverse tethering?
