I might have to go back and forth on this - I got really used to the finger print log in. I got to the point where I could mount the phone on the dash of the car and unlock it without taking my eyes off the road.
It is worth it though - I don't normally use WiFi tether everyday - so switching back and forth will be fine with me.
I think they just somehow found a way to work around the VZ subscription check and turn on the WiFi Tether anyways. I have a feeling there will be an update to plug that hole at some point.

Indeed... if you don't accept the update all should be well lol. Appears to me to us the VPN to bypass the service check.

BTW if you remove the foxfi credentials from security you can return to your normal lock screen until the next time you need foxfi.

There is a workaround for this. Read the app description at play store. The idea basically is to setup a pattern, nota pin, as screen lock security and to fail entering the pattern 5-10 times, then just say ok to forget pattern and then it is necessary to enter your Google password to unlock your device. Such a way you'll keep the security certificate with no lock screen pin.

i dont think that work around is working. Can only choose between pin and password. No pattern option. I have also cleared credentials and it does the same thing. Annoying, i likley wouldnt have paid the 7.95 for the app had i known this silliness. Granted its nice to see it working without root on the new s5, but its a little more than annoying. Perhaps the developer can fix this so what is in the app description actually works like they say for the s5. or others.

Can you post here direct Google play link ?
How many price it will be for full beta ?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi
$7.95 for Full Version, Free to try.
As others have stated, it works on the S5 but you need to turn on the lock screen setting.
Also after you launch Foxfi you have to turn on your Verizon mobile hotspot.

It won't allow a pattern unlock do so that bypass won't work. However simply deleting the certificate and changing it back over does.

Is that the Certificate that it takes you to when your phone is restarted and it says 'a Third Party App may be monitoring you?

I absent-mindedly accepted the Security Update a little bit back, and FoxFi still works for me just fine.

yes that is the certificate.

After you turn on the Verizon moble hotspot will it say "Checking subscription"?
Mine has been doing that and I wanted to know if it is suppose to or if I'm doing something wrong.

You need to activate the FoxFi hotspot first and then it will prompt you to turn on the Samsung hotspot. Needs to be in that order as its basically creating a trusted VPN tunnel.

Android tether 3.1 beta

Hey guys anyone know some good settings for android Wi-Fi tether 3.1 to work on the charge..
I saw somewhere to use fascinate as the device profile and change to digital for Samsung, but that has never worked for on any 3.1 versions, so Ive used 2.0.7 since I found Wi-Fi tether...
If anybody could help me I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Uncheck wifi driver reload and choose the Droid Charge profile. Make sure you uncheck that box though, otherwise you'll have to reboot to get wifi back.

One big advantage I see is that the new version is in the Play Store, so no more bother with sideloading. It'll autoupdate this way as well.
So Verizon is allowing us to download that version? Sounds fishy don't you think?

I understand Play Store is Google. I had the impression that carriers can block certain apps from appearing in the Play Store. When I was on sprint they blocked wireless tether app. I'm probably wrong about Verizon.

Google had pretty much blocked all tethering apps from the Market for a while, but they've started popping back up again. Not sure why the change in policy, unless they've just decided to stop letting the carriers dictate their internal policies.

I use Wifi Tether and I don't have to reboot either. It's as simple as unchecking a box in the config. I don't trust FoxFi. Anything that uses the built in tethering is going to automatically be easier to detect than something like Wifi Tether or Open Garden.

Galaxy S III locked

Hi, I have an S III with a pin unlock code. I was able to get into my phone just fine, untill a few minutes ago I was able to get into my phone.
Now its simply locked and I cannot enter.
Any ideas? There are important family pictures.
Punch in the correct code?
I'm not trying to be facetious, but it's highly unlikely that the code just changed on its own.
Have you tried a battery pull and reset?

If you enter the wrong code enough times it should give you the option to unlock by entering the password for the phone's primary Google account.

Also, shouldnt I be getting the "forgotten pin" option? I dont see that.
If I get that I can easily login with my google account on MY phone.
Actually, I just tried it with the pin setting.... I'm not getting the "Login with your google account" option either. It shows up just fine for my pattern password, but if I set a pin, I can't find an option to bypass.

My question still stands, how do you reset your password with the pin lock? When I lock my phone with the pattern, if I mess up too many times it gives me the option to login with my google account, but with a pin lock, I saw no such option. What is one to do in this case?

[Q] How to tether without extra charges or root?

Hello All. I've searched the forum and have seen many threads about tethering, but I can't find the answer to my specific question...or maybe I'm blind and am just missing it, in which case, I apologize for posting something that has already been answered.
Anyway, I want to tether with my verizon S3 but of course I don't want to pay extra for data I pay for already, nor do I want to root my device, at least not yet. I've heard many things that verizon can't charge for tethering if you have a tiered plan, but when I try to use the built in mobile hotspot it says I am not subscribed and to call verizon. Am I missing something? Didn't there used to be a built in wifi tethering functionality into android?
More specifically, I want to tether my Nexus 10.
Have you tried clockworkmod tether? Never used it but he does great work and it doesn't require root.

I'd prefer to not root my phone right now. Also, I used to use FoxFi on my Bionic, yes I owned one of those, and it worked great. So I tried it on the S3 (no root) and I couldn't get the Nexus 10 to find the tethered wifi network I set up.
neither require root. clockwork does require to install a program on your comp, might not work for you. check out foxfi.

Yeah problem with CWM tether is that I don't want it for the computer...want it for the Nexus 10 tablet. And FoxFi's network it creates can't be found by the Nexus 10 for some reason.
Yea Foxfi is no root need bro. Just keep playing with it I have had to mess around a few times with settings but always got it. I my first recommendation is keep security off for your first connection then after you connect try it with security.
I use it on my phone and my wife uses it on here locked down tiger than the Whitehouse razor.

I thought, for some reason, you needed root access for the PIA app. I could be completely wrong.

Updated last night. Today, using iheartradio, rebooted 3 times today. App worked great on 6.01 on Nexus 6. Cleared cache, reinstalled app. No good. Trying other radio apps. If it is just iheart, I don't care.
Overall, smooth. But one MM feature missing are the feature updates that 6.01 brought to my Nexus. On the Nexus Do Not Disturb became event controlled, but it is missing from my Note.
Installed the update last night with no problems. One thing missing is the ability to pin a contact to the homescreen which I use a lot. Found an app called SpeedDial that does the same thing.
