[Q] Hidden SSID Option not available after Mango Update

After updating my LG Quantum to Mango, the advanced button in Wi-Fi settings does not display the + option to add Hidden SSID's.
Anyone else having this issue on Mango? Or know of a fix?
Thanks.

turn the wifi on

Same issue here on a brand-new Dell Venue Pro (16GB) activated on T-mobile prepaid last night. I did have to force it using the trick, but had never installed any version of beta on it. Doesn't matter whether WiFi is turned on or off, the + icon is not present under the Advanced screen.

I forced mine, I have the +...maybe you got a bad flash...?

Firmware update?

You should have gotten a firmware update, as well. I had 7220 and didn't have the "+" until I got the Samsung update.

LG Quantum 7 also, I did install the LG Update also after the Mango update and still no +.

Simply means LG is not enabling it on your phone. Nothing to do with Microsoft.

Wait for the update from your manufacturer. My Omnia 7 is still on old firmware that won't let me run Samsung apps.

I have the + button and can add. But I have two questions.
1.After you add how do you make it connect, becasue it doesn't accept the WEP key(don't why they ask for a password)
2. How do you specify what kind of a network it is ( e.g. WPA, WPA2 etc...)
Incomplete feature and so it fail again unfotunately.

wifi direct greyed out

Hello,
Today I wanted to use wifi direct feature but I have noticed it is greyed out. File dash is not usable with non OnePlus phones.
Is there any way to force enable it(ADB?) or is there any solution to use wifi direct on OnePlus 7 Pro?
I am on Android Oxygen OS 10.0.1.GM21AA
Best Regards.

Ok so I found a new update on Oxygen Updater and now option is working and I can even connect to different device but I can not send or receive anything, nothing is happening when friend sends me anything and also I have no option to send anything using wifi direct...

Pie update is live

Received the notification for Pie update yesterday morning for Sprint HTC U11. Thus far, it seems to run smoothly. However, I can't find it anywhere in the setting to turn on the mobile hotspot. Anyone is experiencing the same issue?

setting>more........ it's under that.

Thanks for the reply. With Pie, it's no longer under more in wireless and network section (at least on my phone). Weird.

That's very weird. It doesn't have that selector on my under more. Don't know what to try to get that to reappear.

look see

Thanks for the screenshot. For some reasons, hotspot and tethering is missing on mine phone. This is so weird. I hope I don't have to do it factory reset for that to reappear.

I am experiencing the same thing. Data usage and then NFC. No Hotspot option. Sprint also.

that is weird.
can you access it from the pull down hot spot should be in there.

Pull down hotspot quick setting tile has disappeared too.

I downloaded the OTA, but if I'm running Bad Boyz 8.0 rom, do I have to flash a RUU first or can I install this over Bad Boyz? Its systemless root using Magisk.

if you have root and twrp installed you can't, flash the oreo ruu(which will wipe you phone)and return you to stock then you;ll recieve the ota and go from there.
best way i know, if anyone else can do better then just chime in here.

damn, that is weird, wonder why?
try updating your profile in system updates, ...????

Problem solved. Please follow the instructions below:
Dial ##72786#. Note: If the dialer does not appear, tap the Dialer icon. Tap YES. The device will restart and initiate Hands Free Activation. After the device restarts it will automatically perform Hands Free Activation. Once the activation is complete, tap OK. The device will then update the PRL. Once the update is complete, tap OK. Tap OK. The device will restart.
After restarting, hotspot and tethering setting selection reappeared.

One year awaiting for this mess...

It has been said many times in the main thread, but here are only a few (I sold it because HTC is not going to fix anything):
Cannot disable the led into do not disturb mode
Digital wellbeing is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Adaptative battery is not into settings menu (you have to use the search)
Battery problems (I lost 1,5h SOT)
HTC sense companion is not counting steps (I think there was a new version of the app THREE months later to fix it)
Those are which I can remember and were persistent after factory reset and even after re-flash the RUU.
As I said, I sold it two months ago and I never will buy another device from this manufacturer.

I have a sprint model that i unlocked,since the update i can't use hotspot, i tried ##72786# it just gives me a menu with 4 options that i can't change.
Is there a way for me to get hotspot back?

Couldn't connect Samsung Galaxy Watch after MIUI12 is updated

Hi, I have a Xiaomi 10 pro
just updated to MIUI12
ever since then my watch has a "watch" logo on top which means is not not connected to bluetooth.
I have reset the phone's network setting a couple of times.
the watch is also reset.
I have used the Galaxy Wearable to connect the watch. It detected the watch and seems connected (but under bluetooth menu it just saved the watch setting without indicated connected)
the it stuck at the "finishing pairing" page.
Whenever it asked me for permission i either allow it when the apps open or allow it all the time.
but it just stay in that finishing parining page over 20 minutes.
any body faced this problem after updated to MIUI 12?

I am still on Miui 11 but after last security update for June had loads of issues with constant disconnect and errors with Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch.
Gonna get rid of this and get a Mi Band 5.
I know it's totally different device but not using all the functionality currently.

I want to stick to a watch instead of a sport band.
Anybody could hint me?
I have tried to connect the watch to an earbud, it works perfectly fine. quick pairing and working.
however it is just not the case with the phone.
again my phone is pairing perfectly with other devices too like my car, earbud, headset.
As i do workout quite often, all the data are store in the watch and not going to the phone. also it is not uploading to the database when it is already connected to WIFI.

I have the same problem, after MIUI 12 my galaxy gear s3 can't connect to the phone, bluetooth is trying to connect but connection failed.
Tried to factory reset phone and watch - nothing helps.

I have the global rom on my mi 10 pro. I was getting the watch not staying connected. I held down the Galaxy Wearable app, hit info, and turned on auto start, and I've been fine since. Oh, I am using Galaxy Active 1 though, not 2.

But it doesn't make sense when the bluetooth connection is not even staying conencted, there is not going to help with the app with auto restart. I have still gave it a try which didn't help much.
But Thank you for the input anyways.

i thought its only me but yes i have samsung watch active 2 after miui 12 update i cant connect my phone gives a pincode to connect to the watch but the watch isnt showing any pincode to pair.

Hi, as you said there is no pincode popup, but can you see the device (in this case your active 2) when you open the bluetooth list from the PHONE?

Try clear WhatsApp App data, it will reset permissions and it should work again. You'll just have to backup and restore your whatsapp.

Thank you, looks like it is work so far.
Also do you have a solution for the keyboard - when you reboot - it goes back to the default keyboard and not my preferred. Sugou Keyboard is therefore re-enabled as the default keyboard
Thanks again for your help

This Feature is not available on your device

I got Techno Spark 6 air (TECHNO KE6) with android go edition. recently I bought a smart band. When I try to enable notification access on my phone so that I read notifications on my band. It says "this feature is not available on this device". And also I am not able to connect my phone to my PC. You know how distracting to use a phone all the time.
So my question is, is there any way to switch android go to Android one edition? If it is possible then how? If it is not possible then how can I enable this feature?
Look I don't have enough money to buy another phone right now. Please try to suggest a way.

Check if the band is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0. Not every phone with Bluetooth 5.0 is compatible with devices with earlier versions of BT and their sub-protocols.
