Hey all,
I have a question. I have been trying to figure out where you can configure if the built in wifi AP shows up on the top level settings page or deep in more settings / tethering and portable hotspot submenu.
Where can that be changed? Some ROMs have the AP on the top level. Verizon does that by default and I found the lines in the stock AT&T secsettings.apk (settings_headers.xml) but I just can't seem to figure out where that bool or buildprop setting is, that tells android to put the AP in the top level
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi
My phone (HTC Desire HD) is acting very weirdly.
Problems
1. I cannot cannot connect to the internet via my mobile network. It says "use phone for data connection when Wi-Fi is unavailable". I have tried to fix this by doing various things such as doing a reset but nothing works.
2. I have a broadband connection (Wi-Fi) which requires an IP address to be entered. I cannot enter this IP address anywhere and I cannot insert my username and password anywhere in order to surf the internet.
3. I keep on receiving texts from a certain contact with information about my bill for my network service provider
4. My location is stuck on a location, I haven't been in almost a month.
5. My battery life is very poor even with mild usage.
Are these problems from the new update (Android 2.2.1)?.
Please how can I fix these issues?
Anyone have an idea when android 2.3 will be released for the DHD?
Thanks
bump - comon guys someone help me out!!
Hi,
1. What is your settings configuration right now ? (rooted phone, android version ?, did you flashed the ROM....)
2. For the wifi, it's really simple. Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi Settings and once here, you have to push the menu key, it will show an "Advanced button". After that you have to select "Use statis IP"....
5. For your battery life, perhaps you've installed too many apps and they are running in background (and consume power). Don't forget to turn off hardware functions you don't use (wifi, bluetooth, GPS...) and choose a brightness level not too high if you want to improve your battery life.
Thanks for the reply. I have a non rooted DHD running android 2.2.1
Ok.
Did you checked the "Mobile Network" option in the "Wireless and networks" panel ? otherwise it will never work
I hate that it's always present. Thanks
Tweak box has a setting for that. You need xposed framework installed.
I can't find it in tweakbox
Nvm just found it. Face Palm. Thanks
Did you mean you want a way to turn off available open networks?
If so, you can go to Settings->Wi-Fi->options(three dots)->Advanced Wi-Fi then untick Wi-Fi notification.
You don't need root for this.
If you wish to disable the wifi bars which represent connectivity while wifi is on, then you'll need root for that.
See post #5
Thanks @insinc, so simple indeed.
Hello,
Here is the problem.* My phone is rooted with CF-Auto Root. I downloaded SuperSU successfully and then downloaded the .APK for Wifi Tether Router.
It successfully downloaded! * I open the application and go to configure WIFI ROUTER, I then receive a notification from the program saying, "WARNING You are currently using Android 4.3/4.4 If the network is not transmitted, disables (UNCHECK) the 'Scan always available' from the screen that appears.*
That message was verbatim from what my phone was saying.
Once I close the message the phone automatically opens my phones IP settings. Network notification tab is unable to be turned on and of, it is currently selected as "ON", and Passpoint is currently selected as "off".
I press the back option on my phone and it takes me back to the configuration screen for "Wifi Tether Router". I then begin to change my device settings starting with method. I choose* Method 3-(HostApd) and press back. I choose WLAN0 as my interface. I scroll down to Prevents Stand By and make sure IT IS checked. after that I Make sure that HostApd Patch is checked off as well.
I scroll down to APN settings and my screen is completely grayed out with all the different Access Point Names unavailable. the ADD option is also grayed out.
I then set my Hot spot settings.
ssid- wififorme
encryption - wpa2-psk
wifi password -* ihatecheeseburgers
wifi channel- 1
*
Im done at this point. I press back and I am at the home screen for the program. I select ENABLE WIFI ROUTER and phone request ask me to grant* access. I do. The phone disables router then resets the radio and the phone is enabling WiFi Router.... waiting... phone grants access and it displays my wifi settings.
The program is now running at this point but is not sending data or receiving it. I jump on my laptop and the wifi network is not showing up either.
What did I do wrong and how can I fix this issue?

You need to contact the support team for said app, or the dev himself. If you goto the website there is setup instructions even...

I have the same issue and I can't get wifi hotspot working on my phone either. I want to use it to play my chromecast in my car.
Did you ever figure it out?
Firmware: 6.0.1
Model: SM-N920A
UPDATE: Problem solved. Turns out it's an issue with the WIFI scanning in LOCATION, not in the wifi settings. While I still think this is an issue with the firmware, at least there's a way to get it to stop freaking out until they get it fixed.
Whenever I turn on the Wifi, it will often begin a cycle of rapidly turning off and back on again. If you watch the switch that indicates 'on' and 'off', it's constantly fluctuating between the two. -Immediately- after the switch shows it's turned on, the text just below the switch says "turning off.." and it turns off, immediately afterward turning back on, and the process repeats constantly until the phone dies.
Something is either forcing it to turn off, or forcing it to turn on. I've tried adjusting the settings for my third-party texting app (Textra), and even after disabling the entire app and using the stock one, the issue persisted.
I've tried restarting, I've tried clearing the cache via the bootloader.
I've exhausted the entire suite of options in settings for anything Wifi related, no configuration of settings has resolved the issue, including turning off wifi scanning.
I've tried entering the combination of "#", "*", and 0's and 1's (can't remember it off the top of my head) to access the wifi settings to turn off the power saving, but my phone under the listed model and firmware showed no such option.
The problem persists in any location, so I know it's not anything to do with the network I'm trying to connect to.
The only way I've gotten it to stop is going to the wifi settings menu, and rapidly tapping the switch while it constantly goes back and forth. I've managed to get it to stay in the "on" position, but that's the closest thing to a fix I've been able to find.
I've combed through many threads in the AT&T Note 5 troubleshooting topic, and can hardly find anything that describes this particular issue, only with wifi "not staying connected" or other obscure descriptions that upon further inspection were -not- the issue I'm having here.
Were it up to me I would root the thing and put stock Nougat on there and be done with it. But alas, AT&T has removed that option.
I am willing to do a factory reset, but I'd like to know if anyone else has had this issue and if there is any other way to solve it, so I can avoid it in the future.
Settings > wifi > more (top right corner) > advanced > always allow scanning - set to 'off'
Like I said, I've exhausted all possible options in the menus relating to wifi.
This is what I see when I go into the "Advanced" settings in Wifi.
Network Notification (on or off)
Hotspot 2.0 (on or off)
Keep wifi on during sleep (never)
Auto connect to AT&T wifi (on or off)
Install network certificates
MAC address
IP address
That's all there is. I just factory reset my phone, restored it, and the problem in the OP persists.
I rebooted it in safe mode, and the problem still persists. At this point, it looks like it's an issue with the individual handset, unless there's anything I've missed. This is beyond frustrating.
Sorry but can you explain to me how you stop this from happening?
Mine going crazy from time to time, drives me nuts, and i can't stop it.
Btw this doesn't exist on my AT&T Note 5 --> Settings > wifi > more (top right corner) > advanced > always allow scanning - set to 'off'
Kill AT&T Wifi Direct and AT&T Hot Spots.. Remove them as System Apps also.. You should get a message that it is replacing it with the stock version somewhere along this path then your wifi will work flawlessly again even with 5GHz, go figure I guess Google does a better job at WiFi.'
Edit: (sloppy instructions)
DEVICE|APPLICATION MANAGER
"MORE" top right corner
CHANGE SYSTEM SETTINGS
<disable AT&T smart WiFi and anything else that is AT&T or Samsung, including theme nonsense if you want)
Now remove it from Apps....
DEVICE|APPLICATION MANAGER
Force Stop AT&T Smart Wifi. Disable AT&T Smart WiFI.. (Select Storage in same screeen, restrict background data.. Remove permissions)
I realize some of my steps are redundant but AT&T will update stuff then turn those apps back on somehow.. But not if you gut it like I described above

Thank You!
Much easier to understand and follow..
Appreciate it.
Posted this in another thread and realized it may be worthwhile for some others on here so here it is...
First, this post assumes you have the right APN settings in place. So if not, start there.
If you're all set there and are still having an issue getting your Hotspot to turn on and stay on, it may be the same issue I was having and if so here is a partial fix for you.
Go to: Settings > Tethering > WiFi Hotspot > Setup Wifi Hotpsot > (scroll down to see this next part) Show advanced Options > Change setting from 2.4ghz to 5.ghz > Done.
On my device this allowed my Hotpsot to stay on and active finally but it is only usable on this setting. Switching back to 2.4ghz makes it go right back to turning off on it's own. Hopefully this helps some of you out.
Hello, I'm running Pie (V30b) on my V30, but I don't have such option to change the frequency. I only have the channel selection under advanced options.
Is it possible?
