Green for you even I do not need it right now. I have the T-Mo Samsung Galaxy with Android 2.2 that have this feature build-in even without the extra hotspot plan. But once I upgrade the phone later this year, I may need it.
Pun said: No go on Evo 4G BT connecting to Ipad nor HP Touchpad I wouldn't blame the EVO 4G because I've tested my wife's unrooted EVO 4G (Bluetooth only) with several devices with great results.
Hi! I'm a newie, and I been trying some apps to get hotspot to get internet for my pc, I install the fox fi app, and I was so excited when I saw that the hotspot actually turned on, but still can't browse the web. Seems like there's nothing working for me, I see all the post of all this people saying they could get the hotspot, I tried with blue tooth, but the computer is asking me for the disk that came with the phone, but there wasn't any disk, please help me! I can't afford to pay for wifi, my email address is juanarivera88@gmail.com, if you can help me do this step by step, thanks!

for those with T-Mobile contracts... i don't believe tethering is included anymore for any new contracts, and I'm unsure if they will edit the contract when/if you take advantage of an upgrade. 15 dollars to include tethering and 3gb of more data than the base 2gb (5 gb total) and $30 more (on top of the 15 dollars, total of 45 dollars more) if you want 5gb more (10 gb total)

I've tried connecting an ipod touch to it, as well as my EVO 4G (with no active service) and neither one ever gets an address. RW sells a rooted phone in the first place. I suspect they turned off Hotspot abilities on it.

I used Bluetooth. FoxFi won't work with WiFi on HTC phones.
Just for the heck of it I paired a Moto XPRT directly to an iPad2 (without FoxFi) and got tethering to work. So maybe some phones don't need extra software for bluetooth tethering.
Get Program and VERY useful... But what if you are an iPhone user... Is there a comparable App/Program which functions the same way for those with iPhones?
I downloaded and installed Foxfi three weeks ago. It's great. I'm a on ATT and my bill cycled last week without any problems. I've used Foxfi for my laptop and Viewsonic tablet and my data usage has tripled. I always used wifi before. No complaints from ATT. Quick and easy install.
Just wondering how long it will be before the carriers wise up to this? From what I have read on some other forums, they can easily tell the phone is being used for tethering by looking at the network activity from the phone. I have downloaded it to my Skyrocket, but haven't tried it yet.

For grins/giggles, I just tried it and works like a charm with my iPad (1st gen)...
it worked for me initially and for a few weeks afterwards on Tmobile but haven't tried again for a month or so. had a power outage this morning so i tried to use foxfi, but it didn't work; only got "local connection".
The Sprint block is only in the app store. In your settings, check the setting to allow apps from unknown sources and then go to FoxFi's website from your phone to download.
Just for the ATT crowd I have been using FoxFi for 2 months paired to my Xoom thru an Atrix 4G and have yet to have any probs from ATT. Although they say the Atrix isn't supported I have found a work around. After first enabling FoxFi and letting it cyle the warning message I shift the phone directly to Airplane mode and let everything shut off then re-enable the phone letting the data connection come back up then turn FoxFi back on and open my browser on the phone to check connection state. If you can load a page you should have it licked if not turn off FoxFi and WiFi and start again. Though annoying the benefit of having a 4G connection on my Tablet is worth it. Note the checking USB Tethering icon will stay on your status bar and turning off the phone will require you to go thru these steps again to enable your tethering.
One thing to note is that ATT WILL get you if you connect anything other than another android device as they are checking for user agents on your browser and looking at the ports being used.
I did try it, at first it did not work at all. A few weeks later I tried again and it seemed to work. It was giving off a signal that a wifi network was available, but when I tried to connect from my tablet, it said no internet connection. Not sure what is wrong. If I do get it to work, can StraightTalk see that I am using it as a Hotspot?

"*Sprint has removed FoxFi from Market. Sprint users please install or upgrade from http://foxfi.com/bin, or scan the QR code in the third screenshot."
I have used FoxFi on my Optimus Slider several times. I seem to always get an error message both on startup and when I shut it off, but I've not noticed any negative effects otherwise, it works very well.
BTW another way to get FoxFi with Sprint/VM having it blocked on the PlayStore, is to just use Amazon App Store instead.
