The new JB compliant FoxFi doesn't seem to work with my Motorola Razr M.  It asked me to put in a lockscreen PIN to allow a credential installation and then it tried to contact a VPN for whatever purposes and it wouldn't let me affirm the connection so I threw the app away and now I got a PIN on my lockscreen I can't revert to the slide because it's now "disabled". So I'll have to do a factory reset to restore it.

This whole 3-rd party tethering "industry" is ridiculous and shouldn't exist, ingenious hacks as those apps are. 

Carriers. Should. STOP. Charging. For. Tethering. It is an unethical form of double-dipping that the "market" shouldn't have to "bear".

What I would like to see is a pricing plan for data so that nobody cares where or how you use your data.  $10 per GB seems reasonable to me, and use as much as you want.  If you use 2GB, it's $20.  If you use 10GB, it's $100.  Pay for actual usage at the end of the month.

Same thing happened to me.  I was able to set up the VPN and get the app working. Anyway, I forgot my Pattern to unlock the screen.  on your phone, do you see a message that says 'forgot pattern or pin?'. I clicked on that and had to sign in to my Gmail account to unlock the screen.  After that, the lock was back to Slide.

Yes unlimited data with free tethering so the whole network can crash and we can complain about that. Sounds like a plan!

Also if you want free tethering you can sign up for a Share Everything plan.

No, I should be able to stream HD Netflix movies to my Asus TF700 tablet 24/7, 30 days a month for $30.  Geez, some people actually think that way.  And Verizon sucks for charging me $30 to upgrade to a new $650 phone for $200 with a $450 discount.

Yes they do and they don't realize that just 3 dozen people doing that in their area would use up 100% of the bandwidth. Considering a tower sector could have in excess of 1000 connections....... hmmmmmmm.

No too much facts. A little more study and a little less unrealistic wishing my do some good. Here's some quick facts, a cell tower sector( each tower has 3 sectors ) can handle a MAX of 150 Mbps on downlink for 4G LTE. That is divided among ALL connections. Netflix HD is around 5 Mbps. Do the math.
