HowTo Hack FoxFI and PdaNet for FREE WIFI-HOTSPOT

FoxFi is a great app but with the free version of foxfi you get knocked off the internet by the app and told to purchase the full version or restart app.
Don't want to pay your service provider or for an app to make your android phone a wifi hotspot?
This is how you hack foxfi and avoid getting knocked off the internet.
This method was tested on a samsung galaxy prevail (android 2.3.6 gingerbread.ff19) with boost mobile unlimited 2.5gb data(I know I have used more at this point).
First download the latest pdanet from the play store. Then download the latest FoxFi and addon.
Start PdaNet and select wifi hotspot mode.
Activate wifi hotspot.
Make sure it starts up properly and whatever device you want to connect connects.
Open the task manager and select the active apps tab.
Shut down foxfi and pdanet.
Your done.
I have had it working for the past week and its great. I am not sure how long this will last but I will post something as soon as it happens. Or not considering I am using it now on my laptop to post this.
Would like to hear if this method works with other phones and service providers.

Android TV Box?

What is it?
It's a little box that turns your television into an Internet television. It's got a friendly user interface that resembles a physical desktop – with a computer, a desk tidy and a little android who periodically waves at you.
Does it work?
A recent study showed that most people use smart TVs mainly to watch television, so I focused in on television and film services, but you can also connect to social-networking sites, do some reading, shopping or gaming – which all work in a similar way to a smartphone. I added a mouse to make navigation easier, and you could also connect it to a wireless keyboard if you need to type smoothly.
Film streaming is tricky. The box I played with couldn't download directly from the Netflix website and the Google Play store wasn't pre-installed either. It's not easy to add it, which made for a limited experience of watching only iPlayer or YouTube. This model doesn't have Bluetooth and you need to be quite close to the Wi-Fi access point for it to stream clearly. It's not really intended for heavy-duty use, as it's got a 1.2GHz processor, with just 1GB of RAM, so movies and games with sophisticated graphics may appear jerky. You can get an Android dongle with Netflix pre-installed for around $65. It's worth getting if you're going to use it for watching films.
Is it worth the money?
It's cheap at between $30 and $40. But it doesn't do much that you couldn't do by hooking your television up to an Android phone. It has its limitations. There are more capable products out there with wired connections and more storage but they cost at least $80 – and for that price you could get a second-hand games console that could do the same job, and more.
It might be better to wait and see what the new Apple TV box has to offer. The latest prediction is it will be released in March, but Apple has had several false starts due to failed negotiations with cable companies. When it does arrive, the Apple TV should have enough horsepower to hook up all your tech products.
