Foxfi and PDAnet stopped working. Is it Samsung, or ATT?
Full unlocked version of Foxfi has worked all last year, and I didn't try using it this year until a few months ago. It no longer works, even though I can enable it via the check box. I know there has been some sort of 4.x update; don't know if that was Samsung or AT&T wireless provider).
The phone is a Galaxy S3; AT&T Old Nation plan with rollover minutes, and 2gb data. When I was able to use Foxfi on trips, I never came close to running over the 2gb, but I suppose even if I did, ATT would be pleased, as I would have been billed for the overage.
Read something about AT&T setting a flag in the phone op-sys, to prevent wifi hotspot and tethering, but 'rooting' can return the phone to "native" wifi, whatever that means.
But I also read that the prob is the software update, and I am wondering if I can roll back to the previous version? Someone said to buy a mifi from ebay, and plug my sim-card into it when I want wifi. Anyone know if this works?
Oh, one more thing; AT&T will not let me have their wifi hotspot option unless I get on a 5bg data plan, which is another $30/mo. I don't need all that.
