Disable Q10 Pro WiFi

[same240]

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

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!

Good to know this, thanks for sharing.

Solved in 2.10 firmware

Now WIFI still OFF away trought a reboot

Really? OK, will try upgrade then.

I have to disagree with you on that!

In the Settings, does yours say "Wi-Fi" followed by "Disconnected"
But click on "Wi-fi" and you will see that It is actually "ON". We want it "OFF" permanently.

There is a difference between "Disconnected" and "Disabled".
We want "Wi-Fi" followed by "Disabled"!

I've only tried it a couple of times but the new customised firmware leaves the wifi off even after a reboot.

oh, i still not yet try the v2.1.0.
Can we highlight this to futeko about this so hope can resolve in next update?

What makes you think that the Wi-Fi is off?? In the Settings, does it say:

Wi-Fi
Disconnected

or

Wi-Fi
Disabled

It's only OFF when it says "Disabled"

Update to my earlier reply unfortunately the new revised customised firmware doesn't switch off the wifi on reboot.

For v2.0.8, when Q10Pro in early boot up, the WiFi is OFF (Yes, if you go in the WiFi setting, it show disable).
But after 1 or 2 minutes more, the WiFi auto turn ON 
Some apps trigger WiFi to ON?

For me with clean install of HiMedia OFW v2.1.0 and CFW v2.1.0[1.3.1] is look to be keep OFF after power circle / reboot.
Can others test if is solved?

Why is there a need to turn off the Wi-Fi? Does it connect every time, even if the Ethernet cable is connected? In this case which connection does it use for real? I guess it can't be using both at the same time.

The simplest solution is to delete your Wi-Fi authentication from the list. I don't get it what's so difficult in this...?

It is not just the connection to the login wifi but the software button keeps switching on at every new reboot. For myself it interferes with the LAN connection somehow and using the device is sluggish, keep getting pop up messages app has stopped working and must wait or exit or it seizes the device, the whole network  connection shuts down sometimes and requires to reconnect the LAN.

When either the LAN or wifi is singly connected these problems do not  arise.

WiFi need stay OFF start with OFW v.2.1.0 and CFW v2.1.0[1.3] if not once on install application trigger location or user open HiMedia Network Settings.
How to test do clean install, go to Settings/More Settings/WiFi set OFF, power OFF/restart box, then check again Settings/More Settings/WiFi will see is still OFF.  After that working as need, start to see witch user application force it ON.

Note: WiFi OFF need to be check it on Settings/More Settings/WiFi don't expected to get on Android Settings report "WiFi disabled" after reboot/power circle.

Reinstalled firmware 2.1.1 completely, wifi switches itself on after every boot. Uninstalled all apps and it still switches on. I have disconnected from the from all wifi access points  login but still see all the access points. SOmehow this is affecting my device.

If I do not go into settings and switch the button off to (disable) then I still get interference with the LAN and keep getting pop messages wait or close app or whatever process is running several times. This device is really sluggish.

This does not happen on any of my other tv boxes, Q30, Q5, A5, M8s Pro, Minix and H96 pro plus.

At every boot have to go into settings ad switch off the wifi to stop the device hanging or getting constant popup messages wait, close app or send feedback.

Honestly, how hard can it be for the Himedia specialist to solve this.

I am running CFW 2.1.4 and WIFI stays off once you disable it, Has never turned itself on.

OK Thanks, I will give this a try, did not install this version because there were some remarks in the forum that some characters in one of the apps shows up in a foreign language.
