3. New location permission required by Android due to WiFi scan API call. 

Please be aware that with no root access there are technical limitations of what an app can do. We try our best to offer the "most convenient solution possible" for sharing phone Internet but it may not be an "ideal" or "universal" solution (e.g. a normal WiFi Hotspot). It may not work for particular devices. 

=====WiFi Direct mode (new!) ====
PdaNet+ now comes with a completely new "WiFi Direct Hotspot" feature that works on all Android phones 4.1 or later. It allows you to connect computers and tablets to your phone using WiFi BUT it will require you to either install our client app or setup proxy depending on what device you are connecting to the phone. You can activate "WiFi Direct Hotspot" in PdaNet+ then tap the "Help!" button for detail instructions. 

*If your Windows computer does not see the hotspot during pairing please do two things: 1. Restart Hotspot on the phone. 
2. Click on "Show All WiFi Direct Hotspot". It will verify if your adapter supports 5Ghz.

====FoxFi/WiFi Hotspot Mode (the old) ====
The original WiFi Hotspot feature remains in the separate FoxFi app if you still need it. It has ceased to function on many newer phone models due to carrier updates.  Even when it works, your hotspot usage may still be metered (see plan 2 below). WiFi Direct Hotspot could solve both issues. However the new feature is not meant to support game devices, TVs or TV streaming devices. 

=====USB Mode=====
USB mode works on all Android phones (except for some ZTE/Alcatel models). It allows connection from Windows or Mac. In addition, there is a "WiFi Share" feature that can further turn Windows into a WiFi Hotspot so that you share PdaNet Internet with other devices.

*If your phone is not recognized by your computer after connecting USB, please see http://pdanet.co/driver

=====Bluetooth Mode=====
You can use Bluetooth mode to connect Windows.  Although WiFi Direct mode is preferred.

=====Do I need this software?=====
The PdaNet software has been around since the first Treo smart phone in 2003. With over 30 million downloads in total, it must be something that everyone needs, right? Well...it really depends on the kind of data plan you have for your phone. There are 4 kinds of data plans from most carriers:

1. Your data plan (limited or unlimited) does not allow you to turn on the mobile hotspot feature on the phone (it prompts you to call your carrier). 

2. Your data plan is unlimited and you can turn on mobile hotspot from your phone to use it. But hotspot usage is "metered" against a cap (say 5G/month). After that the speed will be throttled to a crawl. (FoxFi can't avoid this!)

3. Your data plan is unlimited, and you can turn on mobile hotspot from your phone with unlimited LTE usage and no throttling cap. This plan does NOT exist or not intended. But we have seen loopholes on some phone models to allow it.

4. You data plan is limited and it allows you to turn on mobile hotspot from your phone. The mobile hotspot usage goes under the same data plan limit.

If your plan falls under 1 or 2, you will need to use PdaNet+. If your plan belongs to 3 or 4 then PdaNet+ will not make any difference. If you are unsure what plan you have, it won't harm to always use PdaNet+. 

=======================
Free edition of PdaNet+ will have timed usage limit, otherwise it is same as full version.

Sprint and AT&T may not allow you to install our app from Play Store, please install the apk file directly from http://pdanet.co/install or install from the computer side.

    Used to work great on my trusty old LG G5, which I just recently replaced with a Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro. On new phone, I get a "fail to find network interface" error message on my Mac when connecting with USB wire; and when connecting via Wifi, laptop shows as being connected but no signal. Not sure if this is an Android OS issue, hardware issue, but I hope you can make it work on my new phone soon!

    I've owned this app for years (paid for the full version). It used to work well, but the new version does not stay connected when tethered my Samsung S21 to my PC. The developer does not get back to tech support email requests for the application in a timely manner. I do not recommend it anymore.

    Wish I could give more than 5 stars, also. It is the only app I have ever paid $ for. It works incredibly well, easy to setup, user friendly, and... I have tried others, they do not work any where near as well as this one. We live in place w/ no cable/phone/internet hook up. In a hole, so the wifi hardly ever works. Bluetooth is ??? This is the best way I know how that I can get internet from my phone to my desktop.

    .6mbs lol! Testing in the phone, I see 6mbs, connected to pda, ONE TENTH .6! I thought this app was good at first, but then quickly ran out of free data. Promptly paid the $7 and it works only when it wants to. Decides to disconnect right in the middle of downloads, so they have to be restarted. Don't waste your money unless you absolutely NEED this.

    App worked fine for about a year than updated software on phone and tablet. Connection from phone works fine but the app constantly disconnects on the tablet. Have to keep reconnecting 4 to 5 time and connection will hold for awhile than it starts all over again. No support from devs. Would think twice before purchase app seems to have been abandoned from service but not from taking your money

    I used to really like this app. I never used to have any issues with it. Last year it would continually disconnect/reconnect, even though the cellular connection I had was strong. Now, I can't connect at all because the dreaded "Network busy on Windows. Please try again". Apparently, this is a known issue which June Fabrics will not solve, let alone address. Please fix or give me a refund.

    it works, but will constantly disconnect you until you pay for the "full version" and there's no way I'm paying for something that used to just work for free. Not to mention if you can only do USB tether it'll randomly disconnect you anyway regardless since I've gotten disconnects without the "pay for full version" pop up. I did not have that issue with sharing as WiFi though, only the fairly regular built in disconnects.

    If I had to choose a single favorite app, this would be it. When used along with a solid data plan and good reception, this is a viable alternative to paying for an internet connection in your home. The biggest, and really the only minor drawback that I find worthy of mention, is that the app cannot run wifi and usb tethering together. The good news is that the app does not interfere with your phone's built-in wifi/tether features, so you can use then in conjunction with each other.

    I was using paid version of it for about a month or so now, but lately my connection was interupted frequently and i didnt find anything wrong on the PC side. I also used 2 available options regarding provider and Microsoft. So yesterday i decided to reinstall the app (update option was not available). I uninstalled it from my Android LG phone and tried to install it back from google play. It is grinding on my phone for hours now and doesnt install itself. I am frustrated. Need to work, but...

    It used to work perfectly but now it just keeps reconnecting from time to time or even disconnect without telling me. When it disconnects, I try to exit the app on my pc but it wouldn't let me so I have to end it through task manager and open the app and so forth, then it would keep happening. It's really annoying especially when playing games or streaming. I have the paid version ever since I got this, too.
