Hi folks,
since stock Oreo ROM for A2017G was born, each time that Hotspot is switched on, a warning message about Wifi appears, and Hotspot can't be switched on, up to this message has been picked.
This annoying message avoid to automatically activate the hotspot with external apps or NFC tags.
Is there anyway to kill this useless advise?
Thanks!

Hi,
Verizon Galaxy S4, with Hyperdrive 17.1 installed. Been using Hyperdrive for several months with no issue.
Today, after using the Hotspot, I tried turning Wifi on. It gave me the prompt "Turning on Wi-Fi will turn off Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Continue?" as expected. I selected yes, and the Wifi icon turned to green "ON" for a second, then the "Hotspot Activated" notification popped up again and Wifi switched backed to "OFF".
I then tried to disable Hotspot on my own first. Any time I try to turn Wifi on, it immediately activates Hotspot.
I renamed all of the files under /data/misc/wifi, the Wifi AP settings and Hotspot settings look default, and it still pops up the Hotspot Activated immediately after turning Wifi on.
Rebooted, wiped caches, took out battery, no luck.
Is there a script somewhere that's triggering on Wifi on and turning Hotspot on automatically? Where might a script like that live?
LG Leon - 3 Network - UK Stock ROM recently upgraded to Marshmallow Stock OTA Upgrade.
The "create wifi hotspot" feature was working fine for several months on Lolipop. Recently updated to Marshmallow and the hotspot feature now randomly switches itself off. The duration the hotspot will stay active seems completely random. Sometimes it'll work for minutes other times hours. The connection timeout is set to never. I've had the hotspot die while I was watching a Youtube video so it switches off while the connection is being used. Phone screen on or off seems to have no effect. The phone is fully charged/charging and has a decent 4G signal. The phone is not hot or overheating.
I generally activate the hotspot via the toggle in the pulldown menu. For clarity when I say the hotspot switches itself off the phones data connection remains active and connected. It's the wireless hotspot feature which just randomly turns itself off.
After a bit of googling it seems quite a few people have the same issue. It was suggested I clear the cache, wipe user data & disable the hotspot timeout. I have done all of this, but the problem persists. Has anyone else had a similar problem, either on this or other LG devices? Was there a workaround?
At this point I'd like to roll-back the update and continue using Lolipop. Is this possible?
Thanks guys.
I update to the the latest firmware ( G935VVRS4APH1) and now my mobile hotspot does not work. I am not rooted or anything. I turn it on, it says checking subscription status, then says turning off mobile hotspot right away. Any ideas?
Have you subscribed to mobile hotspot?
I use FoxFi to use the hotspot app for free.
I'm pretty sure it's included - it only stopped working after the firmware update. I'll call Verizon if they have any ideas. I could reformat but I'd really rather not.

They will probably ask you to reset. I'm guessing you don't have unlimited data, they make me pay to use the hot spot.

I'm having this issue as well after upgrading to the latest firmware. When I enable the hotspot, I get the same "checking subscription status" message, it turns off my wi-fi, then turns off the hotspot and gives me the "turning off hotspot" message. It also does NOT turn my wi-fi back on; I have to do that manually and sometimes multiple times to get it active.
I spent a while on the phone with Verizon yesterday trying to get it fixed, and in the end was told to do a full factory reset. I did that and had the hotspot working briefly, but then it stopped again. I sure hope there's another option for fixing this besides a full factory reset. It's painful reconfiguring my phone back to the way I like it.

Well, believe it or not I think I've found the culprit. By default, both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled for scanning for nearby devices. On my phone, with Wi-Fi turned off, I could see the Wi-Fi icon flicker briefly each time a scan was performed, and I had a suspicion that it was triggering the hotspot to shut down. In the System Settings menu, when you select the "Wi-Fi" option, there's a link below the on/off switch that takes you to a menu where you can selectively enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for nearby scanning. When I disabled Wi-Fi, my hotspot feature started working properly and even automatically re-enabled Wi-Fi when I turned off the hotspot.
I can no longer get to the menu to re-enable Wi-Fi scanning, unfortunately, so I can't truly verify that it's the cause of the issue. But my phone is working normally now, so I'm happy.
EDIT: I've now spent a couple of hours with both Samsung and Verizon attempting to get them to reproduce the issue I'm having with the inability to get back to the menu where you can discretely control wi-fi and bluetooth scanning and they are apparently unequipped to do so. How these folks can support this phone without having one available to test with is beyond me. Well, actually, they're not doing a very good job supporting it, so I guess that just proves my point.
Your the man! It fix my phone. This is after I spent a useless hour on the phone with Verizon and they had me do a factory restore, which of course, did not fix it. Disabling WiFi scanning did it.
Dear all,
I'm experiencing a somewhat weird issue with my Xiaomi Mi A1 (Oreo) which started a couple of months ago.
My WiFi keeps switching on an off.
* When I turn off WiFi, 4G comes up. After a few seconds (I can leave the phone unlocked at the desk, it almost happens instantaneously) Wifi turns on by itself and connects (just as if I switched it on manually).
* When I activate the mobile Hotspot, it switches off after a few seconds, disconnecting all devices connected, only to switch on the regular Wifi after a few seconds and trying to connect to the next network.
* In random cases, Wifi just switches off despite being connected to a working network and while I'm using it.
This is somewhat annoying, and I didn't find any solutions online. Any ideas? Any more information you need (sorry, I'm new here)?
EDIT: This is not the "Turn on Wifi automatically" setting, and it is also not related to location services.
Flash stock rom, sounds like a software bug. Otherwise, return it while you still can.
Thanks.
My Oneplus 6T is rooted. I tend to keep my wifi adapter turned off to save battery life. Few days after I purchased the phone, I noticed that when I turn off wifi, as soon as I lock the phone then unlock it, the wifi toggle will automatically turn back on.
After much research, I went to wifi settings and unchecked all of the following:
Turn on WiFi automatically
Smart wifi switcher
scanning always available
Open network notification
Wifi-Scanning (for apps)
And in the location settings, I changed (limited) location sharing with apps and stopped sharing with Google to avoid having the wifi adapter turning on. Yet the wifi still does, and very quickly after I turn it off.
BTW, My phone is running OxygenOS 9.0.1.
Any ideas please on how to solve this?
