Is there certain settings to make it work? I'm rooted and tried all of the beta ' s and experiments? Any ideas?
What does it do when you try it? Can you connect to the wife hot spot or even recognize it?
Try this see if it works. Add it to your home screen and toggle it.

It starts with errors and gives no wifi connection. I used the toggle trick but updated to ota that kills that. I found settings on note 2 and tried those but did not work.

Hello,
I am trying to use FoxFi with my Nexus 7 tablet. I have a Photon 4G that I am running it on. I just did a factory reset on my Photon and my tablet is brand new. I can connect for only a few minutes and my Nexus 7 will drop connection but FoxFi shows that it is still turned on, just does not show it is connected anymore. I've made sure that any timeouts have been disabled, I have no app killer on my tablet or phone. Everything is up to date. Bluetooth DUN connection works fine when using PDANet, Open Garden, and FoxFi but I can't get a lot of the google applications to work when using that method.
FoxFi shows up on my tablet fine, connects fine but after 30 seconds to a minute it will disconnect and then maybe 5 minutes later it will reconnect only to drop the connection another 30 seconds later. I also did a factory reset on my tablet. Both are back to factory settings and they are still having the same problem.
I saw there was another problem along these lines and they said that the problem was an app killer. I don't have any of those installed.
Anyone have any other ideas? I am fresh out of them.
Regards,

Did you ever come to a solution? I have the same exact problem.

Foxfi just doesn't seem to be all that reliable. I can start it on my phone and have a hotspot up and nothing will be able to see it until I clear the apps data and restart the phone.

It's a FoxFi quirk. Play with it enough and it will resolve itself.
For instance, installed FoxFi on my Droid Charge, connected fine to my Nexus 7, put the Charge in my purse, and a few minutes later the Nexus loses connection. Pull out the Charge and it still claims to be connected, or claims to not be running while having the icon in the notification bar.
Install the Proxy, and the Nexus 7 cannot connect. Set the Nexus to use the Proxy settings, and it works great for a while, then won't connect. Have to delete the proxy settings on the Nexus and go back to DHCP to make it work while proxy is enabled on the Charge. Annoying.
Now I tend to put the Charge in my purse with the screen still on to ensure my signal. lol This is on the replacement Charge, the original would keep the connection solid without the screen on without issue. Still tweaking the replacement's settings.
I got rid of Foxfi. I flat out couldn't stay connected while on the go. Nexus 7 would lose connection with Foxfi / Samsung Prevail every block I I walked. Annoying. I would get the "out of range" on the tablet in wifi connections but the phone/ the Foxfi app would still show as broadcasting. I use Open Garden now and I stay connected solid.

Are there any good wifi tethering apps for my unrooted Note 3? I have installed 3 different ones, including Fox-Fi, and none seem to work. I have always rooted all my phones mainly for this one feature and really have no desire or reason to root this Note. It pretty much has everything I need but the hotspot. Thanks.

Found this and it works...
Turn it on and hit the home button not cancel when you get the prompt to call VZW
Hit the notifications and select Hot spot Activated Tap to Configure and change the SSID and or the security to what you want.
Check out "Hotspot Toggle Widget"

Gents,
Bought an international note 3 SM N9005, turned the phone on, Wifi worked no problem down loaded a softwear update, after the update had wifi issues.
Can connect to wifi, after one min the internet explorer opens, wifi stays connected, notification comes up saying to sign into wifi network then get kicked off the wifi after 3 min.
Tried with different routers still the same. Tried all the advanced wifi settings from other posts still the same, turned off the wifi power saver using the key pad code still the same.
Rooted and installed 3 different roms and still have the same issue even when using different Kernals, but the Baseband is the same for all the roms so is the issue with the baseband?
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated its driving me crazy.
I have looked around and have not seen a rom that has bluetooth tethering working. I am wanting this to use with the galaxy gear.
Any ideas?

Hey can you elaborate on this? I'm on Beans ROM and here's what I tried:
1) Turn off wifi.
2) *Enable bluetooth w/ visibility, add device from Windows 8 device manager, then disable bluetooth
3) Turn on BT tether from Settings - More Settings - Tethering
4) Right click BT icon in quick tray of Windows 8, click Join a Personal Area Network, right click the Note 3 and select Connect Using - Direct Connection.
What happens to me is that it says Connection Successful, and then immediately disconnects and shows a black timer on the Note 3 icon in Windows 8, then says the phone is offline in the bottom status bar. Anytime I try to connect it does that same. Maybe something with drivers? Thanks,
Nila
For it to work for me I had to disable tether provisioning. Try that then reboot and see if it works.

I performed the same set of steps as above but without checking the Blue Tooth Tethering option and it still does the same thing on 2 computers. Connect for half a second, shows the device is being setup, and then just goes to not being connected right away. Anyway thanks.

Gurus,
I used "extended controls" app since non-rooted Galaxy S2. Note 2 and now Note 3 on t-mobile network to toggle Wifi hotspot on and off without any issue. I just upgrade to 4.4.2 and I can no longer toggle this feature along with GPS, bluetooth, and Airplane mode. I try to download a different app" power toggles" and still no luck. Nothing happens when I toggles either using EC or PT app. After resetting my phone to factory default I now have an icon "mobile hotspot"; however, when clicking on it, it leads to the wifi hotspot page where I have to turn on this feature. I google but haven't been able to find a working solution yet. Is there any app out there to make these features work in one click? I have unlimited 5GB plan with paid tethering option by the way.
Any help to resolve this issue is greatly appreciate.
