Use this feature if you are no longer able to turn on WiFi Hotspot, or if your WiFi Hotspot usage is being metered when you already have an unlimited data plan.Īndroid 7.0 (Nougat) or later no longer allows the old WiFi Hotspot mode even for Verizon phones.
However unlike the old WiFi Hotspot, it will require you to either install PdaNet on the connecting computers/tablets or set up proxy settings. This new WiFi Direct feature in PdaNet 5 allows you to connect WiFi mode from computers or tablets. If the legacy FoxFi feature still works for your phone, it is still the best solution for sharing phone Internet since there is no limit on what kind of devices you can connect. The legacy WiFi Hotspot solution remains in FoxFi. Until then, you may be out of luck.A new WiFi Direct solution (free update) is now added to PdaNet for connecting computers or tablets in addition to USB tether. There is always a chance that FoxFi will issue an update that bypasses Verizon’s subscription check. Of course, the timing couldn’t be worse, since Verizon is also adding a $20 increase to unlimited data plan subscribers on their next billing cycle after November 15. Many are seeing a subscription request from Verizon, which is typically the screen seen when you try and tether without having signed up for a tethering plan from Verizon. Some of our readers have tried FoxFi with multiple phones, asked friends to test, and done everything else they can think of to see what the issue is, yet have come up empty. FoxFi has stopped working with Verizon unlimited data plans.Īccording to a number of our readers and dozens more who have commented on Google Play, FoxFi, the popular tethering app that doesn’t require root and was used by many unlimited Verizon data plan subscribers, stopped working yesterday and is still not working today. I hope this isn’t the end, but it may be.
Enjoy that unlimited data, enjoy it, friends. Update 11/24: According to a number of our readers, plus a number of newly updated reviews on FoxFi’s Google Play listing that confirm, FoxFi is back to working on Verizon.
