After the verizon release in early oct, my Foxfi stopped working on my verizon s4. It gave me the dreaded " Verizon wants it's $20/month for tethering" message. Then with the JB 4.3 release it appears to be working again without a USB or BT tether. It made be jump thru some hoops like establishing a lock screen pin (don't use) and off it went. Prelim testing on a few devices proved it was recognized and working. I then removed the lock screen security to "none" and it still worked.

My Fixfi is also working again, but today I was notified of another Verizon update. I don't want to accept it in fear of losing tether again.
I couldn't find any way to remove lock screen security.

Fox fi has been odd since I did the 4.2.2 update but less buggy since I got the 4.3 update a week or two later.
Now it will bring a pop up wanting me to call Verizon or visit their site which I can close and usually still get connection or it works normal without the pop up.
Sometimes it won't let me connect but after a few tries it connects.
