Is there a way to remove the restriction?
How & from where did you know this?

Hi people,
I am having an issue with the data usage feature i wanna know if anybody can help me with this.
My data usage does not measure the mobile network traffic and doesn't let me put a traffic limit either, but it does measure the wifi traffic.
Does anybody know why this happens?
just in case the mobile data is on and i am able to use internet without any trouble.
Thanks.
I don't seem to have any problems using WiFi on the phone itself, but I use it for my job sometimes when I'm scanning for other WiFi networks. When I use WiFi Analyzer or a similar app, the wifi charts just fly all over the place.. Am I doing something wrong or is it the same way for everybody? Thanks.
As far as I understand, WIFI drivers use the Distributed coordination function to avoid collisions. If the random backoff time is computed in the same way on all devices in a WIFI network, then they all have the same priority in the network (somehow).
But if I would now use smaller random numbers than the others, then I would get more of the bandwidth, right?
Does anyone know if I have an easier solution than modifying the WIFI driver in the ROM to achieve that?
Thanks in advance for any hints!
If I had to increase wireless device priority, I would look into QoS settings in a router/access point instead. I think that this is you are looking for.
This is something that I can only do in a network which is under my control.
But I also (especially) want to increase the priority in networks where I cannot modify the router.
I found three papers dealing with this idea:
The role of the Access Point in Wi-Fi networks with selfish nodes
Medium access in WiFi networks: strategies of selfish nodes
MAC Design for WiFi Infrastructure Networks: A Game-Theoretic Approach
I have not yet finished reading them, but as far as I can see they are only thinking about
how this idea can be prevented
if considering this issue from a game theoretical perspective what a nash equilibrium would look like if everyone in a network would try to improve his performance using this approach
The first paper says: "recent drivers allow users to configure protocol parameters differently from their standard values in order to break the protocol fairness and obtain a larger share of the available bandwidth at the expense of other users"
But I could not find any information regarding this on Android...
Does anyone have a hint?
Thank you so much!
Hello.
What could be the reason for the low speed of WiFi internet on the SPH-L710?
The maximum speed through WiFi is from 1 megabits to 8 megabits. The speed is very unstable.
Re-flashing the phone did not solve the problem.
Another phone of the same type (SPH-L710) downloads files at the same time at a speed of 40 megabits.
Both of the same phones have the same firmware.
We don't have CDMA operators, so the phone is used in tablet mode, and the Internet is only via WiFi.
Please help me to solve the problem.
Could there be a problem with the changed parameters of the radio module? Is it possible to reset the parameters of the radio module to factory settings?

You might want to look at the Advanced WiFi settings in the Settings app. There might be something in there not giving full priority to wifi radio. On your Samsung, go to Settings>WiFi>click three dots>Advanced.
There are no such settings there that could affect the speed of WiFi in such a way.
Two identical devices with the same firmware. All WiFi settings are the same in both devices, but one has no speed issues and the other has. Two devices were in use by other people.
Are there any engineering settings that could affect WiFi speed and which won't reset after a Hard Reset?
Or is it a defective device?
Does anyone have the L710VPUCND8 or L710SPRDNJ2 4-file firmware?
I am wondering if anyone has found a way to hide hotspot data traffic on OOS from a carrier. On custom roms my carrier doesnt know the difference between hotspot and normal data the hotspot usage never shows any in my account. I am supposed to get capped at 15gb of hotspot data and I am afraid if I go back to OOS they will see that usage and it will get capped again. Wouldnt be a huge issue but I live in an area where satellite or cellular internet are really the only options. Thanks
I would stay on the custom rom's that works. If you had Samsung Dex that give you another potential work around. The carrier may eventually get wise and modify their protocols.
It seems this battle of wits has been going on for years. Hotspot apps are released, work for a while then fail.
My solution was to use Android to do everything on the internet, my laptop stays safely isolated from the outside world. I even do any downloads I need with my N10+. My Android superceded my PC years ago. Even has more ram
This is an interesting problem and is in part dependent on the carrier. I understand Verizon is one of the worst to hack like this. My unlimited data plan is grandfathered but my hotspot data is limited to 15gb as well. I can burn that up in a day or two without even trying
It's ridiculous.

Yep, download VPN Hotspot and have all your traffic run through it. I haven't had an issue and never gotten throttled.

+1 for this
Android 10 and before was easy with adb/terminal or modules but since Android 11, I use Hotspot VPN.
You need root, enable it and turn on wlan0. If you add it to quick toggle tiles, you can just tap the tile twice and it'll start and turn wlan0 on for you.
It removes the speed limit throttle of 600kbps on tmo as well.
I use the playstore version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.mygod.vpnhotspot
Edit2: you may NEED to turn off "Tethering hardware acceleration" in developer settings
