Are there any foxfi users on the VZW G4 that can confirm that foxfi still works (or doesn't) after taking today's OTA update?
Thanks,
Mike
It does work on my part after update

How are you guys getting it to work? I must be setting it up incorrectly because it fails for me every time

Did it used to work for you? When you install FoxFi it prompts you to install/configure a VPN, but the setup is very minimal.
Question: I don't have the phone, but am due an upgrade with verizon in a week. Doesn't the LG G4 have a Portable WiFi hotspot option? or in other words why would one need FoxFi on this phone?
Foxfi is free i believe. Anyone had luck with Sprint's G4 and Foxfi?

No I couldn't get it to work before so I gave up. I went through the suggested setup but still no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Of course since I said that I tried it again and now it's working. It's weird though because I did nothing different this time compared to before. Oh well haha

FoxFi is for people without tethering on their plan, like us on unlimited data. The phone has built-in tethering, but unless it's on your plan it doesn't work. FoxFi bypasses this.

There is a free app, but it's severely limited. The paid version is less than $10.

I pre-ordered full price to keep my unlimited. I don't plan to root or anything right away. Want to play with it stock and see how it goes, but I would love to be able to tether right away. Granted nobody has the US/VZW variant yet, but a working FoxFi on the models out now would give me hope.
So, does it work?

FoxFi is what used to be PdaNet, So yes, it would work.

They are in collaboration at least
That's great and all, but I was specifically asking if any owners can confirm it is working. Conjecture is great, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but confirmation is better. Some devices don't work with FoxFi and as this is a new device, let's just be sure.

All you have to do is press the home button once the Verizon subscription notice pops up and it works just fine.
What's up guys. (i'm just sharing my way of doing this, i'm not taking credit)
- Myself and a friend (@ teg50886 twitter) figured out a way to get the wifi hotspot working.
- I've only tested this on Sprint, they have unlimited LTE here where I live. So yeaaaa .....
^^ YOU MUST HAVE ROOT ^^
@jcase fixed all that for us here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
* Directions:
1. Download this app from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
(his email is listed on GP [email protected]) So, Thank Him and Buy his app. I'ts only $2.50
2. Go to "Configure Wifi Router"
3. Go to "Interface" and select first option "wlan0"
4. Go to "Method" and select second option "Android 4.2+"
5. That is it. Easy as Pie.
Thanks for the info. It worked perfectly on my Sprint LG G3 following the instructions you posted.

WiFi hotspot works perfectly out of the box for me... I'm in the UK with the 4G EE network.
Is it somehow limited or blocked or other countries/operators?

Sprint charges for hotspot and does not offer unlimited. Just about all U.S. carriers charge for hotspot.
Confirmed working on 3 UK! Thanks for the tip bro!
Works fine on AT&T
FYI, new Verizon plans do not charge for hotspot. So the stock hotspot app on my Verizon G3 works fine. AT&T charges (in addition to limiting data, which is exactly what Verizon got smacked down by the FCC for...)
(I have both an AT&T G3 and a Verizon G3.)
Confirmed working on sprint 990, thanks for the find

If you have the unlimited data package on 3 UK (like I do) they now only let you tether 100mb's of data, this app/settings bypass that ^_^

I'm still on on my unlimited Verizon plan, would love to get Hotspot working.
So I can install this app, follow the instructions, turn on my hotspot...and I shouldn't be charged?
thanks

Yes.
Yeah, but like many other phones, HTC One M9...sometimes messing with different Roms/development breaks VoLTE...so when you are talking on the phone...no more data.
So careful with Verizon...only time will tell I guess...let's hope it is a go though no matter what you do to it.
I'm talking about stock rom

If anyone can get it done for a business account let me know. The workaround for personal accounts won't work for me, and Verizon is saying they won't turn itbon because they don't recognize my device as one of theirs.
Worked for me with my N6 sim in the phone & WiFi off
Works for me. Add it to your line on Verizon's website.

Yeah, it works. Never knew you had to manually add the "Advanced Calling" feature...
BTW, VZW actually had the decency to allow adding the feature even though it was a "Non-VZW" device.
It works for me. Just checked made a call and browsed some websites. I already had advanced calling enabled

Yes, it works great on the cricket network.
Simple and cheap solution
Bought an Overture 2 for $20 and as many report both USB and WiFi tethering is blocked. Tried PDAnet but no luck. Rooted with Kingoroot and rechecked PDAnet and USB tethering is working fine.
Basically I want to root and use the Hotspot function without officially going through sprint.
Will Sprint throttle my Hotspot uses if they dont really know that I'm using it?
Thanks
