Greetings forum!
My setup:
Verizon Note II running PACMAN ROM 20.1.0
I was wondering if it's possible to change the channel that the Wi-Fi hotspot uses? I've scoured the forums and found that most people say theirs works very consistently and I thought mine was not . . . I can enable the wifi tethering option and my Mac Air connects ok, but it just doesn't browse the internet consistently. I thought I was an unlucky one until I noticed that my Windows laptop and Nexus 7 work just fine!!
I instantly had flashbacks to when I used to have a Clear Wifi Hotspot that only supported channels 1 through 7 and three different Mac Air's would not connect to it, but other devices were fine. The ultimate fix for that situation was to get a different hotspot that supported up to channel 11 and set it static to that. I don't know what it is about my neighborhood, the Mac Air, or what, but it just did not like to work on anything other than channel 11. I was waiting for the Spinal Tap joke from the Clear representative, but never got it.
I recently utilized a tip from Kaleb Randleaxe (thank you kind sir!!) to add ro.agps.allow=false to my bulid.prop and it fixed my GPS not working while the Mobile Network Location option was enabled!! Now I'm one fix away from having a perfect phone again. His suggestion made me wonder if there is a similar line I could add to build.prop to force the Wifi Hotspot to a certain channel? I have already tried changing the ro.wifi.channels to 11 and 14 with no success, but thats the total number of channels, right?
I actually got grandfathered in on unlimited Mobile Hotspot through Verizon, so I pay for the service and wish I could just use the native VZ hotspot app. I actually used to set that to channel 11 for best compatibility with my devices as well. At this point, there is no way I'm going back to a stock ROM after using PAC, and I hear it is built in to the TW framework.
I understand that there were some changes to android after ICS which adds some difficulty to successfully changing your Wi-Fi Region Encoding (to enable the use of channels 12 and 13), but I was thinking that someone had to have figured out a solution by now.
I have an HTC One S, rooted, S-off, with a SuperCID (11111), and am running a 4.4 Beanstalk ROM port. I recently moved to a new apartment where the wifi situation is very congested (with neighbors using some seriously powerful routers given their signal strength).
Before ICS I was using channel 13 for fun as I had flashed DD-WRT on an old Linksys router. But eventually, because it wasn't necessary, I kept the wifi region on US and just used channel 11.
Though now, because of the congestion in this building, I really would like to go back and use channel 13. Having done so before, it is really frustrating not being able to. My router is set to 13, and I tried changing the region code (there is an option in the ROM) to both Europe and Japan/Russia but channels 12 and 13 are not scanned in either case . I also used sqlite editor and successfully changed the region in Settings Storage (but I hear this is now an obsolete method). In either case, the region is successfully changed but I am never able to scan channel 12 or 13.
I looked at the data on my sim card and it shows an MMC of 310 which I would expect since my cell provider is TMOUS. I read someplace that this is how my available wifi channels are being determined. Can anyone verify this?
More importantly, does anyone know how to configure my phone so I can use channels 12/13? It is really difficult to use wifi even 4 short yards from my router because the signal of -35dbm competes with a router signals on virtually every channel which is similar in strength.
Thanks!

All CM versions >9 have this problem
But it is easy to solve:
In the file \etc\wifi\nvram.txt you can change the line ccode=ALL to ccode=EU.
After a reboot you can use the high channels
If you flash another ROM to have to repeat this.

I've tried a lot of apps but nothing worked!
Changing the nvram.txt worked! Thanks a lot ???
Does this setting only exist on CM? As I have a stock rooted Nexus 9 running android version 5.1.1 and this file does not exist:
\etc\wifi\nvram.txt

what build of dd wrt?
i have a really old wrt54g v6 running 24461. had to turn off the webserver cause ram. so its old school with the telnetz
As many of you know, putting an AT&T SIM into a Nexus 9 LTE causes the mobile hotspot setting to disappear, making it impossible to turn it on.
This is hard coded into AOSP for the LTE variants of both the Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 9, and is almost certainly something that the carrier requested. If an AT&T SIM is detected, the setting disappears, and there's nothing you can really do about it short of rooting and modifying the XML file responsible for the functionality. Luckily, for those of us who have no interest in rooting, there is a simple solution.
This behavior is also found in literally every single tablet that AT&T sells. Native hotspot is always disabled in the OS, and instead must be configured and enabled via an app called AT&T AllAccess, which is pre-installed on every single tablet sold by the carrier. As luck would have it, this app is available on the Play Store and works flawlessly on the Nexus 9. You can download it here, then just run it, configure your hotspot settings, enable hotspot, and you're in business.
I realize that this isn't ideal and you shouldn't have to download a carrier branded app to enable something that the OS can do natively, but alas, that's the world we live in. I just figured this might save y'all some headaches.
Hi,
Can someone confirm if EMUI 8.0.0.0 does not offer a setting to disable a certain wifi connection (SSID) ?
I sometimes have to do wifi testing and every time i select a different wifi connection it switches me back to the one I was on before.
On my old Sony Z5 (nougat) and even on my old Nexus phone running Kit Kat I was able to disable certain connections to give priority to others.
Is this feature missing on EMUI?
Hello everyone, I bought a (Dumb Phone) DuraXV Extreme and I want to enable the WiFI hotspot but it looks like it's running a subscription check but I got the "Could't run a subscription check. Connect to the internet and try again".
I have been reading around the forums and already have the PDAnetPlus app and it works but I would prefer the factory option plus PDAnetPlus uses a proxy. Can someone please point me to the right direction?
There are some guides for other phones where you modify some vendor settings but the apps used don't seem to run well on this phone.
This Phone uses wha I assume is Android 9 (OS version 9) Kernel 4.9.112-perf
