Now turn on FoxFi again, this time when prompted for credential storage password, enter the lock screen password you just set. If this still does not work, doing a factory reset on your phone will clear the issue. However only do this after backing up important data on your phone.
(Verizon only) Why am I asked to set a Lock Screen when turning on FoxFi? How do I remove it?. In order to get around the mobile hotspot plan FoxFi needs to install a certificate to bypass the carrier blockage.Ī certificate installation is considered "security changes" on your phone, and Android 4.1 or later System requires a screen lock if *any* security changes is made (Android 4.4 further limits Screen Lock options to PIN or Password only). We have made a "Remove Lock"Īpp that you can use to remove the Screen Lock while keeping the FoxFi Certificate installed. You can install the app apk file from here. This app will NOT work on Samsung phones with 5.0 (Lollipop) or later, FOXFI ANDROID OREO APK However your phone should allow you to set Pattern Lock instead of PIN lock. After that you will be allowed to set Lock Screen to "None" If you no longer need to use FoxFi, follow steps below to remove the "FoxFi Certificate". I figure I might ask because there seems to be 170+ apps in the Google Play store and most of which either a) require a USB link vs WIFI to tether b) just a fancy shortcut to the default VZW tether app and/or c) require root.In order to skip the mobile hotspot plan (an extra $20/month) FoxFi needs to install a certificate to bypass the carrier blockage. So, is there any WIFI tethering app that works well on a RAZR Maxx on VZW on an stock, unrooted phone using WIFI as a connection to the PC (WIFI hotspot vs USB tether) besides a) FoxFI and b) the VZW supplied tethering app? 
For a paid app, my expectations would be higher. Since FoxFi was always a little spotty for my on my RZR Maxx on Verizon (I would have to connect/disconnect a few times), I'm not terribly keen on paying them $7 for the paid ver.Īlso, it sounds like FoxFI won't work with Android 4.1 (JB) so whenever that ver is pushed OTA, I'll be SOL until a new version is release.įor a free app, I could live with that. I just found out this morning that my phone auto-updated to a ver of FoxFi that is now usage limited. Now that FoxFI is gimped, what is the next best no-root WIFI hotspot tether app?
