Now that FoxFI is gimped, what is the next best no-root WIFI hotspot tether app?
Hi:
I just found out this morning that my phone auto-updated to a ver of FoxFi that is now usage limited. That sucks.
Since FoxFi was always a little spotty for my on my RZR Maxx on Verizon (I would have to connect/disconnect a few times), I'm not terribly keen on paying them $7 for the paid ver.
Also, it sounds like FoxFI won't work with Android 4.1 (JB) so whenever that ver is pushed OTA, I'll be SOL until a new version is release.
For a free app, I could live with that. For a paid app, my expectations would be higher.
So, is there any WIFI tethering app that works well on a RAZR Maxx on VZW on an stock, unrooted phone using WIFI as a connection to the PC (WIFI hotspot vs USB tether) besides a) FoxFI and b) the VZW supplied tethering app?
Any downsides to these apps?
I figure I might ask because there seems to be 170+ apps in the Google Play store and most of which either a) require a USB link vs WIFI to tether b) just a fancy shortcut to the default VZW tether app and/or c) require root.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
