Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one?
Not all phones can act as a repetitor. I’ve had several where wifi gets disconnected when hotspot is activated.
As far as I know they can all act as a bootleg external wifi adapter though (via USB sharing)
Agreed, it’s the wifi sensor that can’t both act as a signal emitter and receiver. (If you know what I mean, I know that it can do both of those things to communicate, but only for a single use case)
