Help FoxFi 55 failure

[Jdnoel13]

I have a LG Optimus L6 running FoxFi successfully connecting to an iPad 2 for months. Apple upgraded to IOS 8.1.3 and now the mobile hotspot created by FoxFi fails. The most frequent message is: Incorrect password for "FoxFi55"

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I don't know about Apple products....but I was using foxfi to provide a hotspot for my laptop and suddenly it stopped working sometime last year.

I'm afraid you might have to be rooted in order to find a workaround. (and IMHO, everyone should be rooted anyway! )

The way I am still able to have wifi hotspot is by being rooted and on a KitKat (4.4.4) based rom. All Jelly Bean based roms ceased to work for me.

You may have to search for a "user agent" if such a thing exists on an ipad...sorry I have ZERO knowledge of Apple product$!!!! For instance, in order for my internet to work, I have to use Mozilla FireFox browser and download a User Agent Switcher and then select either Googlebot 2.0 or Iphone to spoof MetroPCS into thinking its not a computer.

Hope this helps somewhat and sorry I also suck at explaining things! LOL

Yeah I don't know about iOS either but I do know that foxfi suddenly stopped working for me also. Bluetooth and USB modes still work but that is only for PC. In the all things root section there is a thread with working methods for every ROM but you need to be rooted.

Wifi Hotspot only works on KitKat Roms. If you are stock JellyBean or 4.4.2 there is no working hotspot AFAIK.

MetroPCP stopped all hacking ability for that about a year ago.

That is incorrect. Here is the thread I was referring to which tells you how to use the WiFi hotspot on jellybean.

I was using the WiFi hotspot on my f6 just a couple weeks ago and I was running jellybean not kitkat.
