Sprint has released a ota update and now every time I try to copy past something the app crashes I was reading people were having the same issue anyone know how to fix it by avoiding hard reset?

[yossi4k]

I have.  But for some reason I was having issues with the connection.  I just use the mobile hotspots app the phone comes with. (Everything share plan its no addtl. Charge)

Would you mind sharing the file or the download link?

the latest version of foxfi

I downloaded from market. I dont use it though cuz it didn't connect for me

I have the s3 on verizon and with moderate usage get 12 to 13 hours everyday. Fyi

How much time do most people go between charges?
Took me about 10 hrs to go from about 80% to 10%. Is this normal?

this is my first time actually posting anything in ddf. (although i was always a follower). i have the s3, it seems on my phone that it wouldnt let me  connect with foxfi or the bluetooth option. (i think because sprint charges $20 a month for that option) however the tethering works excellent for me!!!!!

it usually goes faster by me. i'm always having to charge my phone. i called sprint and i requested a new battery and they told me that i have to go into a repair shop. i'm gonna call back though, they will probably send a replacement batt. (you dont have to send the old one back so you get to have two). also if anyone has sprint they could complain about the sprint service now (since they're in middle of putting up the lte in bk there are outages) and you'll get a credit to your account. i got $45 last month, hopefully the same this one

Foxfi is not available anymore on the Att & Sprint market. Foxfi addon is and it provides a web address for the download here. But the website claims that support for s3 and ics is currently being worked on. I tried it on my s2 ics and it takah doesn't work. Does anybody else know of a different tether app that would work for ics?

ICS= Ice Cream Sandwich. The version of Android your phone is running.

I just got this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FBEZDO/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_ST1_3p_dp_1 one last week and it is great (same kickstand problem mentioned above though). Only 6.54, free shipping, and is located in Brooklyn so I got it the next day.

Has the holster shredded anyone else's belt?

Also, does charging the battery with a non-branded charger really hurt the batterry?

[ahecht37]

ahhh dropped my phone and screen cracked what do I do?? (bought it with spg card)
