Turns your Android phone into a free WiFi Hotspot – no rooting or tether plan required .
You can connect from any computers or tablets or even game console . Access Point is infrastructure mode with WPA 2
security . FoxFi usage is covered under the same phone data plan you have and no tether plan needed. This saves you $ 20 /month from your carrier.
Currently WiFi mode may not support some phone models and we are working to expand the supported list . However
Bluetooth/ USB mode works for all phones . To check and see if WiFi mode can be supported on your phone visit http:/ /foxfi .com /devices
Again you do not need a tether plan or root your phone (otherwise this software will be meaningless ) If WiFi mode prompts you to call your carrier that means FoxFi has failed and you should use USB mode or Bluetooth mode instead .
*If you have T -mobile, you should use USB mode with “ Hide Tether Usage ” enabled .
*Sprint and AT& T has removed FoxFi from Market . If you can not find FoxFi please install or upgrade from http: / / pdanet . co/bin .
*Some Jelly Bean phones has locked -down the WiFi hotspot feature , because of that FoxFi will ask you to install a user
certificate on those phones . The side effect is that Android system will require you to set a screen lock first (and only
allows Pattern , PIN or Password ) when you install any user certificates . We recommend
a . Use a Pattern lock for simplicity . The Motorola PIN lock screen could confuse you .
b . This is the only way FoxFi can enable WiFi mode when you don ’t have a tether plan . Use USB mode if you really don ’ t
want the lock screen .
c . To undo the screen lock you have to remove the FoxFi certificate first ( simply select “ clear credentials ” in security
settings) .
*The free version has a usage limit that requires you to restart FoxFi to continue using free mode . You can purchase the full
version key to unlock this .
Here are some tips to help your usage :
1. On some models if you run into WiFi problem after using the Hotspot , simply reboot your phone and rename the hotspot
before activating to clear the issue .
2. For some Samsung phones if your computer is not able to get an IP address , try to turn on WiFi on the phone first and
make sure it does not connect to any WiFi network , then turn on FoxFi .
3. FoxFi is tested on non - rooted phones . If your phone has a rooted ROM it may or may not work.
4. When WiFi hotspot is activated you may also see a hotspot notification of the built- in WiFi hotspot feature . Please ignore
it. As long as you do not sign up for a tether plan you won’t be charged .
5. If you enter or change the hotspot password , make sure you rename the hotspot also before activating .
6. Sometimes Windows need a “ repair ” on the WiFi menu to get a correct IP address .
7. If you install the FoxFi AddOn app, you will also be able to hide tether usage by setting a proxy server address in the
computer browser .
