Hi there, got myself a TW version X1 iv. Ive found out that it wasn't able to see Wifi 6E (6Ghz) hotspots. I read that TW hasn't adopted Wifi 6E so TW firmware probably has that disabled.
Question: can anyone confirm whether they can see Wifi 6E hotspots on HK / SEA firmware? Can I cross flash other firmwares under the same XQ-CT72 SKU?
Many thanks.
Also: is it something that can be bypassed without having to flash firmware?
Edit: went ahead and flashed HK and then USA firmware, neither worked, still couldn't see Wifi 6E network. Anyone have any luck with this & does the router config matter?

Why? Obviously SD 8 Gen 1 has the hardware for that. Sony even boasted WIFI 6E connectivity in the promo material (on their TW website too)

Ct 62 no special config on router my wifi 6e ap is a ubiquity uap 6 enterprise
Hello all,
I was able to figure this out. Here's a copy of my Reddit post:
After importing the Sony Xperia 1 IV "Gaming Edition" from Taiwan to the US for the additional 4GB of RAM (16GB vs 12GB) and ability to unlock the bootloader (the US model, XQ-CT62, does not allow bootloader unlocking), I discovered that my XQ-CT72 would not see my 6GHz network, only my 2.4/5GHz networks. After installing Termux and verifying that 6GHz was indeed disabled (iw list) despite my country code being set to the US already (iw reg get country), I attempted to flash XQ-CT62's modem firmware, which succeeded but still did not enable WiFi 6e. Comparing the firmwares with WinMerge, I found that the Taiwan and USA firmwares have different props set for several RF-related values in /oem/etc/customization/config.prop.
I wrote a short script to override the relevant props on the Taiwan firmware with the props from the US firmware and dropped it in /data/adb/post-fs-data.d (making sure the script was set to executable, i.e. chmod +x) to ensure Magisk would run it before most of Android had been started, and after that was able to see and connect to 6GHz networks successfully:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
resetprop -n ro.vendor.sony.wlan.6e_cc_list US
resetprop -n ro.vendor.product.rf.id PDX223-A2US
resetprop -n ro.oem_ant_switch_index_table 0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2
resetprop -n ro.oem_sar_back_off_index_table 1,2,8,1,6,3,8,1,5,2,8,1,5,2,8,1,1,2,8,1,6,3,8,1,5,2,8,1,5,2,8,1
Note: I tested setting only resetprop -n ro.vendor.sony.wlan.6e_cc_list US without overriding the RF ID with ro.vendor.product.rf.id PDX223-A2US and this did not work unfortunately. ro.oem_ant_switch_index_table and ro.oem_sar_back_off_index_table are probably not strictly required, but since XQ-CT72 (TW) is not FCC-certified, I figured it would be best to adjust the antenna parameters to match the FCC-certified XQ-CT62 (US) just in case.
Reporting back - huge kudos to #8 @noellemercer 's post confirming it is indeed possible to bypass OS lvl restrictions.
I tried out his script but unfortunately still couldn't see WIFI 6E networks. iw reg get returns "unset" countries. In his reddit post he mentioned he was on US mobile network which was infeasible for me ATM, sadly.
I digged further and found out there's another property tied to wifi country code. I made change to that on top of the ones above and voila, all good!
You just need to add one more line to above:
resetprop -n ro.boot.wificountrycode US
Good luck!
Update - welp, I had got ahead of myself...
So after the fix I was able to see & connect to my 6Ghz network. But it remained unusable 99% of the time. My phone might be able to load a webpage or two before the connection would be automatically dropped. Can't even load up the speed test webpage lol!
I guess for me there's more to just setting a flag or two. I tried flashing CT62's modem firmware and it brought no improvements. iw outputs look alright though. @noellemercer how's your speed? Is your 6Ghz hotspot on 160mhz? I am wondering where else I should look at. Maybe all the props?

I'm using an Ubiquiti gateway/router and an ASUS GT-AXE11000 in AP-only mode running asuswrt-merlin 388.1. Channel width is set to 160MHz. I don't have issues with dropouts so I'm not sure what the cause could be unfortunately; I get about 700-900mbps down on speed tests which is about the same as my Pixel 6 Pro (my WAN is 2gbps up/1gbps down).
The only thing I can think of in your case is to check if something is resetting the US country code prop after your network drops, as that's the only client-side (i.e. the phone itself) difference between our setups.
Can confirm that after many tweaks 6Ghz wifi is working reliably. Interestingly webpages do not load as swiftly compared to 5Ghz but disconnects no longer happen. I did have to reconfigure my wireless router, which seemed to be the main culprit. Going forward I'll probably just cross flash USA firmware.
Update 5/12/2023 - can confirm it's still working like a charm after flashing multiple builds. I believe initially the problem lay more with my router (GT-11000AXE). I did a factory reset and format on USB drive, reflashed Merlin and reinstalled scripts that I used, no more drops. The above script is still needed (as Google account etc. might automatically change region) but yes you don't necessarily have to remain on US firmware (I did as I don't plan on using cellular in the near future - even if I do I'll just use basic telephony services).

Hello ;
My Wireless modem supports channel 1-14 for b/g standards , but when I choose channel 14 on my modem, my SGSII is unable to see the network. I am sure it is working fine because my laptop can connect to my modem and use the internet.
does anyone know any methods to enable channel 14 on SGSII ?
Thanks
Yo, you have two possibilities, either change the channel on your router or flash another modem in your device. I guess the first option is the most hassle-free
It seems channel 14 is only supported in japan, so it would be locked if located anywhere else in the world.
I would imagine this lock is in the wifi firmware but I may be wrong.

Nice insight Veyka, I wanted to try it myself on my ROM however I can't even choose channel 14 for wifi transmission on my router, so yeah...
Thank you for replies , the problem is that I live in a condominium and channels from 1 to 11 are very crowded. so I set the country of my modem to Japan and now it gives me the option to choose channel 14 which is interference free
May be I have to install a radio firmware for Japan ? right ?

Beware using channel 14 outside of japan, there's a reason its not normally there. You may end up causing interference with something critical.
The "radio" file aka the "modem" only effects the cellular radio, not any other radio, you would need to hack around with the wifi modem firmware, aka not an easy "fix".
Flashing a modem wont have ANY effect.
Basically, don't use bands not allowed in your country, the restrictions are there for a reason, and most gear is region "locked" in order to be sold.

Being in the UK I cant pick channel 14 myself Well I could swap my routers region, but yeh, its not cool, the 2.4ghz region is overcrowded anyway without people using channels that are not allowed in there regions
Hi,
my data connection doesn't work.
when I unlock the sim I get cell reception. The data connection icon changes between unconnected wlan and '2g' back and forth and then stopps at the wlan icon. Obviously it struggles to connect and fails.
What can I do? Where are the apn settings?

Release notes :
Mobile data is generally not supported, data is available via Wi-Fi only. However, for instructions on how to enable 3G on devices, please see the following G+ post by Ricardo Salveti.
At the end of the comments Alan Pope says that this thread is 'outdated' and 'shouldn't be used anymore'.
And Tony Espy claims that 'Network Manager should take care of auto-connecting your mobile data connection'.
...
sorry then. i can't set it up either. what really confuses me are the different channels . for example trusty which is ubuntu 14.04 sometimes has less features than the saucy channel (comparing by diferent screenshots i've seen) and i don't even know what proposed and customized means
sorry if this is off topic but how do you have trusty r80 when the last released rivision is 79 (according to my dual boot app)
The trusty-proposed channel contains the 80 image.

this might help out a bit . trusty proposed is now on r100 which should have more features than r80 and according to this it should do fine
edit: i just installed r101 and still can't see anything related to mobile data except the switch.
Same with 105.
Got Vodafone Germany btw.
r106 should be the most stable cause it has passed 402 tests ... doesn't say anything about data though :/
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:

Hey guys,
I tried to find something about my problem, but there's only on thread here with a similar problem without any informations, so I decided to create a new one.
I'm sorry if there's already a solution and I was too dump to find it... If there's one, I'd be very thankful for a link.
So.... I own a X829 6/128 with a German SIM and it works very fine for me. After trying different ROM's I'm now at RR 5.8.5 @ 7.1.2 and it's really good.
But it doesn't matter which ROM I flash, I'm tortured by constantly wifi-drops.... In the meanwhile I even changed the router and repeater at home to different devices, played with the 2.4- and 5-GHz-bands and channels, and it doesn't matter what I choose (2.4/5 on the router or 2.4/5 on the repeater): The phone is constantly dropping the wifi.
Sometimes it's working for 30 minutes, sometimes it's dropping the connection after 5-10 seconds... I flashed different radio's, but no change.
It doesn't matter if I'm doing something "online" or if the phone's just lying on the table.
Thanks alot in advance!
Lot's of greetings an Merry Christmas!

Same phone, same problem.
But to be honest - i just realized when i read your post ... to me its like 99% its working and sometimes not then its in 3g 4g network. I usually do not even realize
Hey there,
nah, for me it's like vice versa. Mostly I can't even do a speedtest without the connection dropping...
Loading news? I have to try several times...
Download something? Hahaha, forget it!
Since the X829 has no B20 I really need Wifi at home, cause here's only Edge available besides LTE.
I'm really out of ideas.
Yesterday I found a thread about a Samsung phone with some similar problems, where the solution was diable the localisation via Wifi/Bluetooth, so I changed mine to GPS only, and it was working like a charm - at first.
After like 30-40 min. the same error occurred again.
Btw:
Here's the Hardware I have tried at home:
- Telekom Speedport Smart Router (Huawai) - replaced
- Telekom Speedport W925V (Arcadyan) - current
- TP-Link RE200 AC750 Repeater - replaced
- Netgear EX6150 AC1200 Repeater - current
As I said... I tried every configuration with a/b/g/n... Different channels instead of automatic...
It's really annoying.
Thanks alot for your help, but now go to you family y'all!
It's Christmas! This has time until after the holidays!

Yes. I haven't any Wifi's to try nearby. And when I connected so one in a restaurant for example, I haven't watched it all the time.
In the meanwhile I disabled the WiFi of the Router. I connected the repeater via cable and set it up as AP. No changes (the router can't drop a device which is not directly connected to it, right?). Also I gave the phone a static IP outside the DHCP-range, to make sure the router (DHCP server) can't kick me via releasing the IP.
(I've tried that because we use TV-over-IP "Telekom Entertain"... Usually the router uses WMM/QoS to make sure the bandwidth is always enough for TV Unfornately I can't change that, so I decided to set up the repeater as AP)
No real changes. Sometimes (like now) it's working like a charm. Sometimes it's dropping like every 10 seconds.
PS:
While I wrote this there was only one drop. ^^

Hmmm. I don't have that much experience with routers. But I can suggest 2 ideas.
At some point, at a different location, confirm its your device with the problem.
Second is try a VPN from your max.
Seems like a simple solution your missing. Assuming your phone is in working order, software solid, just WiFi dropping out sounds crazy. Especially if there hasn't been any other instances around the forum.
Good luck, sorry I haven't really helped.
Hello, I have the same problem as you, the only solution I found was to install the Rom CUOCO 92 28s, after installing, you go into WIFI, then advanced settings, look for WIFI frequency band, select "use only 2.4GHz band So, after that normal wifi works, unfortunately you're going to have to go back to Android 6.0.1, but your wifi will work

Still thanks for your replies and help thinking!
A VPN would also drop (it's not the transfer itself, the whole connection is gone), I think. And I noticed this problem first since I flashed an Android 7/N-ROM, as itsbianchi said.

Thanks alot! But I don't really wanna go a step backwards. I hope there's a stable/official 8/O-ROM soon to try. And I still can't figure out why they put away the possibility to manage your networks/settings on your own. -.-
But if there's no other option, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Some update
I found in the dev-settings an option for a "more agressive handover" to mobile network.
When my understanding is correct it should handover to mobile network ealier, if the wifi-signal is weak. I just activated that setting, to see if the the connection is lost more often (because I thought that maybe the threshold of that setting is too high -> switching between my Wifi and Mobile all the time). But it seems that it's more stable now... I dunno why. I just checked it like an hour ago. Maybe there's no change, since sometimes the connection is pretty stable and sometimes it's dropping all the time. I'll just try it for the next hours/days...
Btw:
I was in a restaurant with an open wifi two days ago: Not one drop while I was there (I checked the connection as often as I could).
Maybe some food for thoughts for you guys...
Friend, enter the LAN settings of your router, but in the protocol of IPV6, and disable the assignment of IPV6, I was col this same problem.

I have similar problems with wifi. Wifi connection does not drop but I can't download large files or I can't install apps from Google Play store larger than 5 MB. Download process stops after several megabytes. I tried so many ROMs including Cuoco92's 23S and I tried "use only 2.4GHz band" setting in 23S but I haven't tried Cuoco92's 28S. Because I read a lot of bad comments about Cuoco's 28S. Do you think should I try Cuoco's 28S?
Or is it a hardware problem?
I have same problem. I have x820 and aosp 8.1

Hi all
I've setup VPn tunnels to my office on my S9+. I've setup a PPTP from the built in client and IPsec and SSL from the Fortinet Client and none of them are working.
I'm sure that authentications are correct as I use same settings on my laptop running windows 10 and on a iPhone 7 plus.
Anyone with the same problem?
This might not help you exactly but there seems to be an issue with the stock ROM and VPNs. Adguard, which blocks ads via VPN, was also having the same issue and the devs have reported it to Samsung from what I understand. The fix will probably come during a later update since VPN issues are a bigndeal, especially for people who need to use their devices in a corporate environment.
My VPNs include one PPTP and one IPSec/PSK, and they both connect without issues on four different Verizon S9+ phones.

Hola
I just wanted to give you a heads up that Adguard dev's have figured out a temporary workaround to make the their VPN ad blocking features stick. You'll need to check their forums for the actual setting (or use their nightly release which has the setting enabled by default). I have this setting enabled and now I am able to browse ad free for the most part without issues.
I've just update the phone and it's now working yet. Besides that the problem is even worst because I can't even connect VPNs on my laptop if using the phone as hotspot.
I've reported to Samsung and I'm waiting for a call and a remote assistence but if I can get a fix in a few days the phone will be returned because this is a big issue for my work.

I used this functionality fairly frequently with my (Verizon) S8+.
I've just completed about an hour of testing with my (Verizon) S9+.
I tried the USB tether, the Bluetooth tether, and the Hotspot networking on the phone. In each case I established a network connection to the public Internet without issue.
The VPN connections from my Windows 10 system, however - using that S9+ connection - all fail now with one exception.
The PPTP, L2TP/PSK and IKEv2 connections (that all work[ed] with my S8+) will not connect using my S9+.
The one exception is the Microsoft-specific SSTP variant, which tunnels over port-443. That one will connect with the S9+ in all three networking scenarios - USB, bluetooth and Hotspot WiFi.
This seems to indicate that the new phone does not pass TCP port 1723 and/or GRE 47 (PPTP) and UDP ports 500 and/or 4500 (L2TP and IKEv2) through it's network tethering and the WiFi connections.
Bummer.
At least I can still use SSTP to get to my server resources - which is 90% of my VPN needs anyway - but the other connections are dead now.
Connections FROM the phone, using it's built-in PPTP and L2TP profiles to host networks, continue to work properly on the S9+ -- as they did on the S8+.

That is the Snapdragon version? Does it have a special ROM from Verizon or is the stock Samsung?
Maybe that is the difference

Stock Verizon (SD845 8.0) S9+ compared with a stock Verizon (SD835 7.0) S8+. I suppose the difference might be explained by going from Android 7 to Android 8, but I have no way of testing that hypothesis at this time.
(The last phone I modified was a 2013 Motorola RAZR. I've subsequently switched to using my phones as phones, rather than as a hobby. )
If someone has a different experience with employing a networked platform's VPN while using a similar phone in a tethered or hotspot configuration, it would interesting to know.
My own successes with the phone's built-in VPN (PPTP and L2TP) - as separate from the scenario described above -
apparently differ from those of others in this thread for reasons I cannot explain.
I'm in the same boat - a new S9 and can't connect to my work VPN when using the phone as a hotspot. It works fine on S8 and Iphones. Does anyone know how to fix this? This is a critical issue for me as I work remotely quite a bit.

I think there is no fix yet. I had someone from Samsung support connected to my S9 last Tuesday and they could not find anything so they escalated the problem inside Samsung but until now no further news.
S9+ work with IPSEC!
My Samsung S9+ work with IPSEC - tested on Andoid version 8.0.0..

What CPU does it have? Is it unlocked or from what network/provider is it?

CPU - Exynos 9810 - 2,7 GHz, its on Croatian network - T-Com ( T-mobile ) - locked.
New update in germany : G960FXXS1ARD1
Maybe a good patch ...
My S9 unlocked (SD) can connect to my L2TP/Ipsec VPN but disconnects within a minute or so (even if the connection is under constant use.) I have another Anrdoid 7 device (and a Windows 10 laptop) that has no problem with the same VPN/router/WiFi combination and can stay connected for hours. I don't know how to escalate this with Samsung in a way where they just don't blame my other hardware.
