I have yet to see that lack of distinction between the two networks. I learned something new today.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah see my screenshot in post #38. One SSID, although I marked it off, but I can turn off or on either frequency.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
well...for what it's worth...I actually have that current setup (no lack of distinction)...I employ signal extenders (they are actually old routers that have been converted) and it helps if you wish to go across the home and also wish for devices/laptops to automatically change to the better/closer access point; and if you don't want to go through the configurations of "level of dBs" to disconnect at or you want to minimize the list of many SSIDs (especially if you have a tri-band system extended by other dual-band devices which could eventually lead to 7 separate SSIDs), this setup works best. And, I figure, any device(s) that want to connect to my network will default to a band by their own configuration; and, as I've said before, if they wish for a particular one, I just have to give the password to that frequency (2.4GHz, 5GHz). Of course, the major difference here is that this is set up manually, by choice, but I bring up to make the point that it can, and is, done, albeit not really being the usual, normal set up that most establish or during the initial set up stage...

alternate attachment method for dumb smart switches

My phone could be tricked into logging in to 2.4G at a distance, but aggressively changed to 5G when I got close to my smart switch for initial programming.

I set up my wife's phone as a hotspot with the same name and password as my 2.4+5G router/repeater, and then unplugged the router/repeater. I had to "forget" the Wi-Fi info in the phone before it would let me log in to the new hotspot (probably MAC conflict security stuff). With the 2.4G hotspot, all went as planned and the system is now working. I'm going to buy a few more of these cheap things (now that I have the initialization method).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zmedhaug:
I know this is an old post but this is an easy answer.

Give the 5g a different name.

On your phone forget the 5g connection.

If you need to connect to it, just sign into it on your phone and forget it after.

My room is too far away from 5g to work but my phone will stay connected to it and my internet won't work. So I just forgot 5g and stay on 2.5 in my house.

Example:

I have

WiFi

WiFi 5g

As it's been mentioned, some routers however do not allow you to separate 2.4 and 5.0 and have the same name for both.

Hi,

I'm trying to root the China Mobile A3s, but so far unsuccessfully.

Device Name: A3s
Model: M653
Android version: 7.1.1
Chipset : Qualcomm MSM88917 Snapdragon 425
Kernel version: 3.18.31
Software version: M653_01.33.00RDP_CN.00
BoardID: wt86617AA1
LCD: ili9881c_HD720p_video_TXD
TP:YeJi,Himax852xes,FW:0x3
Alsps:EPL259x

What I was able to do:

-Enable developer options

-Enable OEM unlocking

-Enable USB debugging

-Boot phone into USB diagnostic mode (I think) by pressing vol+ and vol- on boot (device detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008")

-Enter service menu by holding vol+ on boot:

Image transcription:

After pressing [Root check] and waiting for a few minutes the following message appears:

Framaroot and Dirtcow checker both fails and there is no TWRP image for this phone (yet?).

Any idea how to root this phone?
[General Questions and Answers] @GUTEK@:
The phone probably has a locked bootloader.

All commands executed by fastboot return failed. In the programming options, the OEM lock is switched on.

I was able to download part of the partition in the emmcdl program in download mode. I was unable to download the system partition, the program crashes.

Based on the original recovery, I prepared TWRP from the Redmi 5A phone. Unfortunately, I can not upload it to see if it works correctly.

I attach everything I managed to rip from my phone and my TWRP. Maybe someone will achieve something more.

There are screenshots of my smartphone A3s. I bought it at LightinTheBox. First I selected spanish, then Contacts force-closed when trying to see details of any contact (It lets you add contacts however). So I factory restored, left English as default language and set my google account, after that all my contacts synced and I can see_details_of/edit them.

Hope it helps.

PD. Ooohhh!, don't disable Google+ because it is tied to Contacts in some way (disabling it force closes Contacts also, I have found this by trial/error).

Any help would be great, in the meantime i will factory reset and try your suggestions

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Otto_H:
I'm sorry, I have not tried any other version than 1.33. Maybe [MENTION=8365578]Uharai[/MENTION] could help you doing some test with portuguese language.

Talking about Contacts, it was the only annoying issue I have faced it when setting spanish as language. I could open Contacts app and add contacts and make calls from them (touching the icon at the left of the contact's name) and I could even edit the contact as long as there was no call done between me and the said contact. But once I made a first call to that contact, when I wanted to edit again that said contact (touching the name of the contact) the Contact app crashed. That was my very short experience.

Hope it helps.

Hello

I had this phone a few days ago.

The phone worked well except the battery.

My battery life is the problem

My battery is crazy.

The first time with 100 full charge & it only works 9 hours.

I do factory reset and it is solved & phone worked 1 day, but then, make a new full charge and again work 9 hours.

Is this a hardware or software problem?

You think it can be solved by installing the ASUS rom?

Asus rom has Spanish?

Where do I download the files to install the rom?

It is necessary to be root?

Just in case, to avoid troubles select only english as default.

Also take a look at:

Settings>>Dual SIM & mobile data>>SIM cards settings

there you can choose from which SIM the phone will get Mobile data (Besides enabling/disabling any SIM)

I am thinking to install the ROM that you say in previous messages but I am afraid that will brick the phone.

Instruction of TWRP and custom ROM installation

I bought this phone a couple of weeks ago. The phone had some problems - battery drain, could not set app permission and it made some app could not run, Google address book could not syn. and etc..... So, I decided to install Custom Rom.

I followed the Quote instruction and installed TWRP. :good:

By the way, I failed to install the TWRP in my Windows 7 PC but succeeded in my Windows 10. Maybe it was just my Windows 7 PC problem.

Then, I installed the custom ROM (it should be asus zenfone 4 ROM) and it works fine. Instruction as below:

1. I got the ROM in 4pda web page h ttps://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895813&st=3040 (After opening the web page, click the menu "(Неофициальные прошивки)" and then "TWRP: Порт официальной прошивки Asus ZenFone 4 Max". Then, click the link "GDrive". The ROM name is "A3s-ZC520KL.zip")

2. Put the ROM in Micro SDCard and then put this Micro SDCard in the phone.

3. Reboot the phone to recovery and then wipe below items:

- Dalvik / ART Cache

- Cache

- Data

- System

4. Install the ROM "A3s-ZC520KL.zip"

5. After installed the ROM, reboot the phone and wait about 5 mins. when you see China Mobile logo.

There is a video in YouTube which shows you how to install the TWRP and custom ROM. However, it is not in English. To find it, just search "china mobile a3s asus zenfone 4 tutorial" in YouTube.

Sorry for my English, I hope you got what I meant.

After that, i've installed TWRP again.
