LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI decided to start a new thread on this as i thought it deserved some attention. It looks like Foxfi and Elixir2, two of the best wireless hotspot apps, are no longer functioning. has anyone else noticed this? I can run the apps but then when i look in the settings under Hotspot I see "Error". I can see the phone on my laptop and connect but I don't get any internet connection. Is this something that Verizon may have done to block these methods?
Has anyone noticed these not working?
Does anyone have an app that still works?
Do I have to root tonight!!!?
ps: I'm using the gnex.

Droid does some cool and amazing things. Yet it does not do some basic stuff that has been stock on most phones for years. It makes me think the Google developers were marooned in some kind of a 1977 LOST flashback/flashforward/sideways combo reality gameshow -

02-22-2012 12:00 PMNo I didn't. I went in to settings and verified that it was turned on, which it was. I can test later when I get home but I see someone else validated it from theirs.

02-22-2012 01:25 PMI searched for Elixir 2 and Elixer 2 in the market. Brings up a utility app that does lots of things, but I don't see anything about a hotspot in the description. Can you post a link to the app you are referencing?

02-22-2012 08:00 PMLooks Like Verizon got Involved
After I turn my FoxFi on and go to configure Hot-Spot or Tethering, I get a popup that says that I can't use Verizon's network and gives me an 800 # to call to set up service, which I will have to pay for.

02-22-2012 08:09 PMI had that happen. Somehow it diverts to the VZW hotspot when I backed out or tried from the pull down menu. When I open from the app it still worked for me
