Dear Friends,
I have Android Tablet & iPhone 6 (main).
When I pair my Huawei Watch with Android Tablet, I see "WiFi" in Settings menu, so I can manage WiFi networks.
But but noticed that, when pair with iPhone, this option is not taking place there at all. Totally removed.
So the watch is jailed to go through Bluetooth only. Is there any way to connect the watch to WiFi while paired to iPhone?
** Advanced Settings App is just showing the networks, not capable to connect them.
Thank you in advance,
Kind regards.
As it is not possible to define wifi networks in Android Wear, watch pulls configured wifi networks from a device.
Most likely it is not able to pull wifi configuration from iOS which could simply be an iOS limitation/incompatibility.

Thanks for your reply. Can I raise a question then; Advanced Settings App is seeing the networks but not allowing to interact with them. Wouldn't it be possible to have an app like that basically sees networks and pops a little keyboard (like TWRP) to write passwords?

I don't think there's necessary interface for that in Android Wear.
Hello everybody.
I have a strange problem regarding the Nexus 5x with wifi tethering/access point mode.
I can turn on wifi hotspot by:
settings --> more --> Tethering & portable hotspot --> Portable wifi hotspot enable the slider.
After that I can disable it with the quick access panel.
However I cannot enable it by the quick access panel. This also prevents apps like tasker to automate this setting.
I would like to have hotspot turned on when I enter my car (bluetooth connected)
I live in the netherlands and have a Vodafone account.
Many thanks for your input.
I need this fairly often. I have a current need to upgrade a wifi camera that needs to be connected to its inhouse mobile app with internet access at the same time.
I have other needs for this. I have devices on local networks that do not have internet. These devices are remote controllable over ip, but i have to give up internet on my phone. I have had previous phones work in this application.
-Developer option "mobile data always active" has no effect, rebooted to be sure
-I have NEVER had any smart Wi-Fi switcher wifi setting suit my needs. Same today
-not rooted
-Oxygen 5.1.3 8.1 OREO

I tried AFWall, to control application network access, but found it to be buggy, and inconsistent. I don't need granular control. I just want to disallow some applications from accessing the network, so I removed AFWall, and just used the permissions in App info to disallow them from accessing the network. That woks fine, until I enable my VPN. When my VPN is active, all the disallowed applications are able to bypass the restriction.
Any input on how to prevent this on Lineage OS 16, would be greatly appreciated.
Hello one more time team
Here I'm reporting another annoying bug with my device
I have tried many time to create or make a 5ghz hotspot work
My external devices can see others 5ghz network but even when i create it with the RM5S, It is not visible.
I have done a network reset on the phone, check and unchecked the "support 6th generation" option in the tethering options and it just does not work
2.4ghz works fine
I have reported the issue via ticket but I guess will not be solved as my previous tickets
Anyone with the same issue?
Attaching evidence

some countries do not allow the use of personal 5g wifi tethering. its possible you live in one of these countries? the feature is blocked on the rom if you are in a country that does not allow it.

Hey Patrick
Thanks again for your answer
I read about that limitation in a oneplus forum but I don't really know how to check that.
Actually, i can add something to my issue
While i am reporting the hotspot issue, i must said i am able to share a "connected" wifi using the 5ghz band WHEN (Sorry for the big letters) in use an app called "vpn hotspot"
I dont want to confuse you
I dont need the vpn hotspot app to create a normal hotspot. But the default settings of RM ROM does not let me create the 5ghz connection.
When i connect to a 5ghz router at home, i can "create" another wifi 5ghz network using "vpn hotspot" app (i usually do this cause i need a vpn network for many devices)
The main problem is with mobile data. When i am not at home, the vpn hotspot app does "IS NOT" allowed to modify the system settings for the hotspot created by the rom, it only replicates the original setup and bypass the VPN traffic
So, going back to the original issue, i am not sure if it is a country restriction. I usually live.in Hungary but i am now in poland and i received the device on this last country.
I would even wonder how to create the hotspot using the wifi 6 standard as it should be supported as well.
Thanks for the feedback

sounds like the VPN software you're using is interfering with the creation of the hotspot.
if the 5g hotspot wifi works as intended using the normal hotspot settings on the phone without the VPN, then it would make sense that its the VPN app thats causing the issue.
I can create and use both 2.4g and 5g wifi hotspots, sharing my Mobile network. it works correctly. i do use DNS 66 to block adverts but thats the only VPN type software i use, and its only for black listing adverts and inbedded video adverts on sites.
so test the hotspot settings with the normal phone settings with the VPN off or uninstalled. - if this works correctly. the problem is with your VPN software. you would need to contact support for that app.
some devices do not work with wifi 6 option enabled. turning it off may increase connectivity issues.

Well. I know there was going to be some confusion.
The hotspot does not work with 5ghz even without vpn.
When i use my home wifi, I connect from my phone (no mobile data) to my vpn provider and then with another app, "vpn hotspot" (root required) i can share the vpn traffic to external devices via hotspot. When I do these steps sometimes 5ghz works, and i say sometimes cause I left the "vpn hotspot" wifi setting as default. I might change some network options there but, those options are not available for hotspot within "vpn hotspot" this is why i am blaming the ROM, But maybe you are right and there is some interference between apps. I will try to flush the settings one more time
I have flushed the rules of the vpn hotspot app and tried again. Working fine with and without vpn!
Thanks
I see.
You are trying to filter your wifi connection at home through your phones wifi and share thst connection to other wifi devices.
I dont believe it will work correctly. you're essentially trying to create a wifi repeater.
You're making your wifi chip do 2 things, and its unable to run two streams at the same time.
It state in the Hotspot settings
" Use hotspot to provide internet to other devices through your mobile data"
If you want to connect to your home wifi with your phone, and share thst connection with another device you must use USB tethering.
You risk causing damage to your wifi chip trying to force two connections on it.
using repeater apps, does cause the signal strength to degrade, (bacause you're using the same antenna to receive your home wifi and to create its own wifi. limiting the bandwith and can cause connection issues over time.
the wifi chips in android phone can create a repeating wifi signal, but they're not made to do it. normally as stock android runs when you enable wifi hotspot, it stops the current wifi connecting to create a new wifi access point. using apps to get around that may cause issues and even damage as i stated above. if your wifi chip breaks due to improper use, it will need a warranty return.
