Using fox fi for tethering

[dtwalters]

All I can say is that this app is UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!

I love FoxFi and use it to DL torrents and average 850mb. I have never been charged and average around 18-25G a month. I'm unlimited so I use it whenever I want to. I actually run the USB just so I don't kill my battery. Mine to triggers the Teathering or Mobile Hotspots active but I think its just because FoxFi triggers the function in the OS I've always just ignored it. I activate FoxFi first the turn on my laptop and it always connects right away. Just FYI you can go into the FoxFi settings and change the name and password protect your hotspots connection so you don't get any leachers slowing you down. Hope this helps.

I tried the app but when I switched my password it didn't update. So my wifi connection was open to anyone

Exit out of FoxFi then restart it. Find the FoxFi in your available networks right click go to properties>security>enter password save as preferred or auto connect when in range. Save it and it should now be secured. That's all I had to do.

I use FoxFi to tether my Asus Transformer, and it works great! The only "little" problem I have is, if I turn FoxFi off, I have to reboot my Razr Maxx to get it to work again...no big deal, though! My main question is this: I will sometimes leave it on all day, and although it plugged into the wall socket, and the screen dimmed, it does heat up some. Is this prematurely aging my battery? Is this a battery killer?
