5/6GHz Hotspot within Airplane mode

Open rusty-snake opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

When the device is rebooted with Airplane mode enabled, Hotspot is limited to 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz and 6 GHz are disabled with the message "not available in your country or region" (which is not true for my EU/Germany). Connecting to the internet (WLAN), inserting a SIM, getting a GNSS position do not change this. Enabling cellular radio (disable Airplane mode) for a few seconds with or without SIM trigger the correct detection (you maybe need to toggle hotspot on).

Suggestions:

  • do not use cellular as exclusively source for detection of frequency regulations
  • remember region after reboots
  • change the wording to make it clear that you need to disable airplane mode once to enable 5/6 GHz
