Purchased PDANET for Droid 4--used successfully for 3 weeks. Stopped working. Have re-installed-no luck. When trying to connect-"make sure your phone is attached to computer and USB debugging is enabled on phone" continues to display. Please help

I'm not exactly sure how PDAnet works, as I use easytether personally...but I've had the same problems before with easytether. I ended up doing a fresh install phone side and pc side, un-installed and reinstalled the drivers for the adb bridge on the pc. And make sure windows doesn't auto update the driver for adb if you use windows.

I used PDAnet, paid version but have since moved to FoxFi since DROID4 can be set up as a hot spot with 3rd party apps now.

I used PdaNet with my Droid 1 which required a companion program download to my phone and laptop. The. I found out about FoxFi which only required download to my phone. I just touch the icon to turn and my wifi laptop automatically connects to my phone internter service! Best part is I still have Verizon's $30 unlimited data plan..so I'm "online" with my Droid4 wherever I go..and online at home without home internet service! Why pay double?

I agree, why pay double. The only problem using my DROID4 as a hotspot it would overheat as a 4g hotspots. Do you have that problem?
 
Foxfi is the bomb I can even attach my wireless printer and print through it :) I loved PDA.NET too but totally easier to Foxfi.
 
I actually use both. I like that PDANET routs the data through the app so I can still keep better track on my usage while the FoxFi data doesn't show up as an actual App or under the browser when checking in Data Usage within Settings. I have noticed that PDANET lets my battery last longer.
