foxfi

[rumblee1]

Hi gs3 owners. Can you tell me if foxfi works on the gs3?

[GoBears]

Works great on mine, but another user reported it did not work for her. I'm on CleanRom 2.5 btw which is a G7 based rom.

I'm a little confused on why FoxFi is needed on the S3 vs the Hot Spot already on the phone

[GoBears]

I use foxfi because I'm on unlimited data and tethering is not allowed for me, so I don't dare use the built in app...just in case.

[Semaj]

So if you're on a share plan you can use the built in Hot Spot (cuz your using your data on your plan) vs paying the $20 per month extra if your on unlimited?

[GoBears]

Yup. I think if Big Red catches you tethering they auto add the tether plan to your account and/or will cancel your account if you don't sign a new tiered data contract. Either way for how little I actually use it, I figure Foxfi is safer.

It does not work on my stock rooted GS3. SVTP does, but costs $15.

Works on my stock GS3.

Does not work on my stock S3, and it did not work on my Maxx either, once I updated to ICS

It works for me on S3 and works for my daughter on the Maxx. A couple times it did fail to initiate but a restart fixed it.
