I just want to be able to use the 2.4 and 5GHz radios independently.
I have been able to do that atleast in realmeUI and Oneui phones.
That’s kind of dumb. Devices have had 5 GHz support since something like 2013, so why not do 5 and 6 instead of 2.4 and 6?
Low end 2.4G only devices still exist
Hotspot is pretty nice if you are trying to get an old device online temporarily
Has better range
And as an anectode, l still see at least one 2.4G only device every month.
it’s nice that your Kindle isn’t just collecting dust in a drawer
If only my cell carrier (Verizon) didn’t paywall mobile tethering
Maybe, its time to switch service providers. Or perhaps the software if its not working for you.
You can EASILY get around that…buy an unlocked phone off swappa and the hotspot works perfectly on Verizon. I’ve been doing this for years
Hmm interesting! My Samsung S24 is factory unlocked but when I try to activate the mobile tethering feature it says “Please wait while verifying” and then “your plan doesn’t support mobile tethering.”
I’m not sure…all I know is when I buy a device that’s unlocked from swappa…wait a minute, is the S24 model you have Verizon exclusive? I had an S10 5G that was Verizon specific that didn’t work, but … unlocked on swappa always work and I have the same problem as you. Other workaround is Pixel with Graphene OS.
secret things is “tether dun”.
If you use Lineage, a fork of Lineage (iode, /e/), Calyx (out of commission), Graphene, or plain root and set the TTL of hotspot packets to 65 you can bypass the limit
They really don’t like that though. Like close your account immediately don’t like. Only reason I still have mine is because I had no issues previously and I fained Ignorance while calling them.
Feigned is such an uncommon word I’m not surprised to see it spelt like that. I’m all for fixing English spelling, it really is a mess of broken rules
I knew I was spelling it wrong I just couldn’t figure out how lmao.
Ive been doing it for years with no issue. 🤷
Really? If I can ask, how much data do you usually use?
Anywhere between 20 to 50 gigs a month depending on how out and about i am
Ah yeah I used like 500 lol.
I dont even use that much with my homelab, how tf are you doing that? 😭
