Sorry this may be noob question but how do I change wifi channel of Wifi Hotspot app. In my old note it was there under show advanced settings but in xperia there is no such options. It currently transmits on channel 1 and I would like to change it.
thanks

so i was reading some hacks and tricks to do when u first purchase your hd2 with WM still installed there is a registry edit trick to enable the wireless N support for the HD2's wireless..is there a way to enable this on an android build? or is it already enabled by default, reason i'm asking is cuz my router transmits wireless N and i hear Wireless N has better range and all that good stuff than the wireless B or G...anyways if anyone knows more about this let me know..thanks!!
Read wirless N support HERE for HD2
Its Enabled on my build
How can i check if its enabled? is it under system/wifi?
I had the same question, then connected my phone via wi-fi to my belkin wireless N router. I was getting around 80mb connection. This proved N was working.
Best way to check is just check your wireless strength in the wireless settings once you're connected.
Ok i'll try that and see what happens, thanks for the reply.
I want an android phone to have both 'normal wi-fi' and 'portable
hotspot' turned on at the same time, so that I will be able to get the RSSI values of wireless networks as well as involve in an hotspot connection.
Scenario:
- 4 rooted android phones in CyanogenMod (2-Nexus One, 2-Galaxy S2; consider A,B,C,D).
- Kernel version 2.3.3 in all the phones
- Portable wi-fi hot spot enabled in all the phones.
I wrote an application to find the RSSI values of available wireless signals. But as the phones (A,B,C,D) are using wi-fi hot spot, the normal wifi does not turn on. Either wi-fi hot spot can be on, or normal wi-fi can be on.
i.e. If each phone(A,B, C and D) have a wifi hotspot created (AH, BH, CH, DH), then I am not able to use my application, as normal wifi connection needs to be turned on to find the wireless networks.
So I want the phones to scan available wireless networks with
portable wi-fi hot spot enabled. Is there a way to do this.?
Thanks in advance for your help.

As far as I know its not physically possible to have hardware run in two modes at once. You would need two wifi chips to do this.
I'm running a rooted GS5 and I'm using it to link to a wifi controller on a drone. However, because the drone doesn't provide internet, the wifi manager auto-connects to my wireless SSID and severs the connection with my drone. How can I "lock" onto the drone's SSID? In the older GSX there was an advanced setting in wifi settings to not allow auto switching of wireless networks. Where is that functionality in the GS5?
There may be an advanced wifi option to do so, but I haven't looked.
Your objective could be done with Tasker and iptables. But I'm going to make the assumption that if that didn't occur to you already, that you don't use those programs and there is a learning curve to scripting. So, just grab an app to do this e.g. Wifi prioritizer.
Done

Lack of option - that is correct - there is no option to disable scanning. The only reliably sensible option left to you is to forget your home wifi network before connecting to the drone and then establishing a connection with the drone.
That's pretty much it - of course on rooted device you could write scripts to engage/disengage a specific network - but to be honest I'd call that an overkill.
Question for you guys. When you use the wifi hotspot on 5 Ghz, do you have the option for multiple channels? Mine only allows channel 149. I used the hotspot hack, and now X tether. Both the same, on 5 Ghz it only allows channel 149. Is that how its supposed to work?
As the title said, it is able to switch on, but my laptop or PS4 is unable to detect it, they both can detect others network so I guess the only problem is the phone.
I've tried to jump from rom to rom, from Ditto Rom(Lollipop) to Ditto Rom(Marshmallow) to SimplRom, but mobile hotspot still not working.
I researched for whole day, online keep mention about 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz in advanced option with broadcast channel. But what I see is only Broadcast channel and it is set on Auto. Hope this info helps.
Please help me !
Current: I'm trying to go back to cynogenmod 13 to test.
UPDATE: I don't know why my phone is visible to my laptop with cm13
Try different wifi channels (not auto)
