I am looking for an effective ad blocker for my non-rooted Verizon N4 that doesn't block my Foxfi Hotspot. Any recommendations?

I am s-off, and rooted running that awesome GingerbreadSense ROM, and i thought just for kicks I'd try the stock mobile3G hotspot too see if it works, since it's my only means of accessing the internet from my laptop...and my jaw dropped because it works flawlessly and very faast....but my question is...am i paying out of the ass for tethering? or is it the loophole affect, or am ijust lucky?
Did you get any sort of verizon message about charging for the service? If not, you're fine. There's also other apps that you can use to tether (for free). The one that I've found that works best is called "wireless tether", you can google it and download it from the code.google page. Another good app is "barnacle wifi tether" and you should be able to get that one on the market.
Also, I'm not sure if you're new with verizon and on a tiered plan, but if so, watch out because tethering uses a lot of data. Nice thing about "wireless tether" is that it keeps a total of how much you've downloaded/uploaded during that tethering session.
New GN user here coming off a Thuderbolt, and Nexus One before that. I'm trying to understand the workings of the on-board Wifi/USB Tether function. I've heard from some friends that it is monitored by VZW and will tack a tethering plan onto your bill if you activate it.
Is this true? Do I need to avoid the built in WiFi feature?
Thanks
I can tell you that you will NOT have to add a tethering program with WiFi Tether, it's a root app.
Hey everyone. I'm currently on the T-mobile unlmt 4G data plan and while I have unlimited data (which is awesome) they caught on to my tethering when I tried using Wireless Tether App for a few days.
Are there any tethering apps that don't view the phone as tethering?
What about built-in tethering app?
So did they block ports or what? I always used the built in WiFi hotspot and the android wireless tethering app and never been "caught", to my knowing

T-Mobile detects the browser UAstring and uses that to "catch" tethering. This means that no matter how you use tethering (apps, w/e), they'll still see that when you point your browser at a page it'll report that it's a "desktop", and T-Mobile will block it. It seems to generally be on a case-by-case and use-by-use basis with T-Mobile. It was always very random for me when they decided to just start redirecting my browser. There's no reason to be using the wireless tether app btw, the built in tethering on the Nexus works just fine, and since it's not a carrier phone they don't have any special hook into the OS for them to "know" you're tethering. All they do is check UAstring.
You can try out a UAstring switcher. Its not the most elegant solution, but it's worked for me in the past. I use this one in Chrome.
Hello, I’m new to XDA Forum and thank you in advance for answering my basic question.
Verizon Gnex stock. Wi-Fi Hot Spot?
Prior to JB OTA update I installed PDAnet, FoxFi & FoxFi Addon. The Gnex is my only net access right now. After JB update I installed SwitchPro to get a WiFi Hot Spot. I assume it’s the native one “AndroidAP”. FoxFi is now works after developer fix for JB. So I have FoxFi and SwitchPro installed but things aren’t working correctly.
SwitchPro no longer launches the native Wi-Fi “AndroidAP” but launches the FoxFi hotspot instead. ? When I launch FoxFi I now get two Wi-Fi notifications on the bar. When LTE/3g searches/toggles the FoxFi active Wi-Fi Hotspot indicates "Off" but the Gnex settings Tethering & portable hotspot indicator shows FoxFi "active". ?
I like the SwitchPro switches but also use PDAnet for USB Tether. 4g LTE reception is spotty where I live. Bounces between 4g/3g a lot but getting better.
Would someone help me properly setup the wi-fi hotspot apps and switches?
Thanks much
Would someone care to help an old guy fix this minor issue?
Thank you.
I was under the impression that since then FoxFi app was fixed for jb, and there is the addon for it, switch pro was no longer needed?
I could be wrong as I do not tether so those apps serve me no purpose.
