Okay, I'm rooted (question)

[jackiescivic]

Now how do I change to get the mobile hotspot to work? :-D I have SQLite Editor installed.

Are you on an unlimited plan or a share everything plan?

I'm not sure exactly sure how to get hotspots with the unlimited plan. I believe you have to use a non-verizon tethering app.

Although if you have share everything it should work no problems no charges.

I'm still on unlimited. FoxFi didn't work on my Maxx and I haven't gotten it to work on the S3 either

Sucks that it didn't work on your Maxx b/c it works great on mine.

I know, that's what other people were saying as well. Maybe I just suck at it lol. I re-downloaded and will try again though.

 

[jackiescivic]

Well, tried installing Foxfi again and still no luck. My tablet wouldn't even see the signal, but my computer did and connected but wasn't able to get on the Internet.

So once again I ask, how do I "unlock" the stock hot spot?

I don't know how to unlock the stock one. But u might try wireless tether or wifi tether from the play store. My wifi tether app usually works for me fine.

Downloaded wifi tether, but neither my tablet nor computer see the wifi signal. I also did not see what the wireless name would be

Did you check the setting in the profile choose your device?

 

[jackiescivic]

Got it now, and the tablet did connect

Haha good to hear but may we know what you were doing wrong just in case someone else encounters this problem

 

[jackiescivic]

I wasn't aware I had to select the device

Foxfi does not need root to work. In fact, on the contrary if you are rooted it WILL NOT work.

It worked just fine on my Maxx post root/pre ICS

Yes, it will work if you ARE NOT rooted.
