T-mobile galaxy s iii foxfi hotspot doesnt work

Hi
I just bought a galaxy s iii at t-mobile amd downloaded the foxfi hotspot app. For some reason my devices see the wifi but cant connect. What could be the reason for this? I am in the new unlimited 4G plan with not t-mobile hot spot I would like to use foxfi. Can some I ne help me?

Try looking for the foxfi addon. I heard that it sometimes helps. Also read the instructions when your setting it up.

a lot of those wifi apps claims they work without root, but it is only for certain phones
root your galaxy s3, it is the only way

Ok do you know where I can find a link on how to root the phone? I dont want to brick it since I just got it.

Where are the settings? Not in foxfi?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I've read that foxfi is not yet ready for our phones, maybe in the next update.

If your on the unlimited plan you cant share the network. They block it that's part of the contract no tethering or hotspot.

Worked fine on my phone before I rooted.

Any updates on this issue? Does rotting help make Foxfi work on our S3?

If you are rooted why don't you just use the wifi tether app for root from the play store. I just set my device as a galaxy s2 in the device settings in the app and it works. I am on the unlimited plan.

What settings are you referring to? Foxfi doesn't have any settings options that I've seen.

Yeah there really aren't any settings for this app.
When I try it on mine seems to start ok on the phone but computer can not connection to it.
I have even tried on my old sensation and it dont work with viper rom. Or a stock one s.

I've had the same problem with FoxFi. Install SVTP and set the profile to Samsung ICS. Still $15, but only once and its the only hotspot app I've found that can get around Tmobile's blocks on my stock nonrooted T999.

Unlimited data does not depend on your OS; it depends on your data plan. This thread needs to be closed now.

Gingerbread does not work on this phone. Did you not see the two posts above you? The version of your OS doesn't matter. It matters what plan you have.

Well seeing as how you aren't allowed to tether with this plan, obviously it will be blocked regardless.

Who the 5gb data plane 4g
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

People should really get out of the habit of using marketing catch-phrases with "G's" in them. There is no 3G or 4G. There is HSPA+ and there is LTE. GoPhone does NOT offer LTE service (yet), but you WILL get HSPA+ service.

Who is the video on hspa+ is like tmobile or faster

Are you sure you aren't looking for Straight Talk?

Straight talk no

I work for AT&T, the largest Gophone data plan right now is 1GB. If you stuck a Gophone SIM in the N2, there's a chance the data wouldn't even work. I've heard this from many customers with various smartphones. Talk and text works but data doesn't. Not sure why. But as stated, no LTE for Gophones right now.

Tethering

How can I use my s3 as a tether without AT&T telling me that my grandfathered plan isn't to be used for a tether
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Please do a search next time, because this topic has been covered many times,
and just to let you know, there is no proven way to prevent ATT from knowing if you tether. Some will get caught while others won't.

It really depends on your carrier but I'm on Verizon with unlimited data and have been doing it for years without getting charged.
