FoxFi is back!

[Sithu Htun]

Hey guys, I tried FoxFi yesterday and it was coming back!
Today, I tried again with different configurations like removing and reinstalling FoxFi certificate, changing Hotspot ID and passwords and then it was gone. I was confused and I cleared the data of the FoxFi app and still not working. Then I entered stock recovery and wiped cache. Hey, it was coming back! I want to know if this trick is also working for you, guys too.

Thx. Got me going again also.

Glad to hear.

I got a response from the developer. It was something that Verizon did. Hopefully they can keep on top of any other changes Big Red implements.

I got this Note 3 Verizon from USA that was already unlocked. I am now using it on Telenor (Different Carrier). How could a person like me could subscribe their Hotspot plan? Verizon should think about it before blocking the method like this. Bah!

If you have subscription....then get "HotSpot Switch" from evsoft. It's available on Google Play. It's a widget, tap it to toggle the phone's hot spot on or off.

You can not root once you go to Lollipop, you can not go back to an earlier version that can be rooted.

Sorry...you are stuck with stock.

Then what does "Unlocked" mean?

 

[donc113]

Then what does "Unlocked" means?

It means the phone is not locked to a specific carrier. ..but it does not mean that every app will work. The Verizon hotspot program first checks to see if you have a verizon plan that includes hotspot before it will turn on the hotspot.

You need a different hot spot app. Look on the Play store...there are several. Search for "WiFi Tether"

HotSpot on sm-n900v

So, there is absolutely no way of wresting hotspot from Verizon, so as to enable you toggle it on/off at will? Who knows whether phones with unlocked bootloader are totally independent of Verizon?

I know that FoxFi free works when you are tethering, but file sharing applications like ShareIt, Xender which also need the hotspot cannot turn it on. Thus, sm-n900v can send files to other phones via shareIt but it cannot receive from them.

You can not use Verizon's hotspot as-is, you must use a 3rd party application like FoxFi but with that 3rd party application. Or if you install one of the several Touchwiz modified ROMs the hotspot app has already been modified to eliminate the check with Verizon to see if you are allowed to use it. An example would be the Jasmine ROM.

Bootloader unlock has nothing to do with "need" for Verizon. Bootloader unlock means you can install a real recovery, install a ROM with a modified hotspot app. and/or install a different kernel (boot partition).

Thank you very much for the clarification. I still think though that if foxfi could work round it to get the to get the Hotspot to work, so could there be an app that beat the Verizon restriction - a patch perhaps.

I rooted my SM-N900V with the Arabic tool. I think it probably did more than just rooting because I can go to the bootloader with ease. Isn't that what unlocking the bootloader is all about? I'm not so keen yet though on flashing a custom ROM.
