Foxfi update
- Thread starter jmanches
- Start date
What is the "data restriction" on the free version of Foxfi? Is it time related as well as total data related? I use relatively little data but need to connect for a couple of hours at a time. If I wanted the paid version I would just pay vzw.

But after spending the 8 bucks vzw could block or update in a month so 8 bucks out the window.

Works for me with JB too
Works! :icon_ lala

However - because of "certificate" authorizations in the setup process, my initial screen now locks and I have to manually unlock my phone. I tried to turn it off in Settings/Security but no such luck. When I choose to disable I see that it says: "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"

However - because of some "certificate" authorizations in the setup process, my initial screen now locks and I have to go through one more step to open my phone. I used to not lock my screen for convenience. I tried to turn it off in Settings/Security but no such luck. Seems to be permanently on now. Ideas?
Mine is the same but I think that the screen lock must be on for foxfi to work. To shut off the screen lock I believe you have to go to settings, security and screen lock, clear credentials to remove the certificate
Whelp - I did some of that - deleted the "User" certificate (not "all" as there is a slider on upper screen under credentials). Re-started foxfi and walked me through another authentication. Noticed there was a message about choosing "pattern" for security instead of PIN. Oops. That's were I eff'd up. Anyway, it didn't change anything. Rebooted. Nothing. I think I might have to do a fresh install. UGH. Double UGH. more time more time more time...
I have used Foxfi for a year. Verizon @ $20. a month = $240. Foxfi @ $8. total = a net savings of $$232. A chance worth taking for me. I am already paying Verizon for the data, why should I pay again to use it?
I would think of the Foxfi charge of $8.00 as an expense that's cheaper than eating out for one lunch.
If it works for you... great.
If it don't... your only out $8.
(The price is equivalent to a burger,fries and malt at McDonalds.)
Either way let us know the outcome.

Says it will work now with my maxx hd...looks like it should work but doesn't broadcast WiFi. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Thanks
It save nothing if it doesn't work. If I ordered a meal at McDonald's (God forbid!) and the power goes out I get my $ back even though a power outage isn't their fault. Spend 8 bucks for foxfi (used to be free full service) and vzw blocks it or it doesnt work I'm out 8 bucks! Since you can turn vzw wifi on and off a day a a time losing 8 bucks is no savings in my book. If foxfi gave 1 year. money back it works or else no excuses warranty THEN it would be a great deal.
