Disable Q10 Pro WiFi
« on: October 07, 2018, 03:36:25 PM »
Hi,
I prefer to use 1Gbps of Ethernet port instead of WiFi because of I always transfer big files over the ethernet between Q10 Pro & NAS, is that possible
disable auto turn ON WiFi when boot up?
Really need advice on this, thanks.


Q10 Pro Info:
Firmware: v2.0.8
Android: v7.0
Kernel Version: 3.18.24

Likewise!

In HiMedia's AppManager, click on "Settings"

Move along the icons to the rightmost "More" and click on it

The first option you should see is "Wi-fi" - click on it and switch it to OFF.

You might want to do the same to Bluetooth if you don't use that?

Thanks for the tips, this is the step I always do when turn on Q10 Pro, but what I want is the WiFi will not automatically turn ON when I switch ON Q10 Pro, is it possible?

You should not have to do this every time you switch the box on. Once you switch off the wifi by following the instructions above the wifi should stay off!
 
If your wifi comes back on when your reboot, you have a problem somewhere?

I switch the wifi off just as you outlined but I also find as soon as I switch the Q10 back on again the wifi is also switched on, so I don't think its a fault its just the way the firmware/software works.

When Q10 Pro boot on in the beginning, the WiFi still off, but after it loaded everything at background, the WiFi automatically turn on. Is your Q10 Pro will stay off?

Looks like it is not only me, what is your firmware version? My is v2.0.8 @ v7.0.

Just checked and you are right guys ???!

I've tried setting and rebooting several times and the Wi-Fi will NOT stay OFF! This has to be a bug! Or could it be another app which is automatically switching it back on again at reboot  ::)?

I'm using HiMedia Q10 Pro; Official Firmware 2.0.9; Android 7.0

The Bluetooth does stay OFF though!

Unscrew the wifi antenna until Himedia fix this (probably never...)

Just wondering is anyone's Q10 Pro will stay OFF after boot up?  ::)

My understanding of how it works is you either have wired ethernet OR wifi but not both at the same time. 
I am an ethernet user and wifi is definitely off for months at a time, until I want to switch to use it for some reason (like the phone/internet  line is dead temporarily).

It's the same here

I use TASKER for setting OFF at boot

No, in my unit v2.0.8, both can ON at the same time, but i'm not sure which one it will use.

I did manage to get it to stay off by editing the build.prop file in System. You need Root access to do this  ??? ???!
It did work BUT it brought up more problems so I would NOT advise it!
