This is really driving me crazy. I have a Huawei hotspot with a local service here in Afghanistan. Up till yesterday it would be visible and connect with my phone in Airplane Mode with just WiFi on. Yesterday the hotspot battery died, and ever since the only time my phone will see it is when Airplane mode is off. I have my data turned off to avoid international fees, and I was using WiFi calling with the hotspot and my phone in Airplane mode. That has somehow changed since the battery dying and now the only way it is seen the phone has to have airplane mode off. If I turn airplane mode on, and then turn on the wifi it will disappear and it will say it is out of range. I spent some time on customer service today and they wasn't sure what was going on.
I have a private internet access vpn service that I use since I am international. I uninstalled it to make sure it wasn't causing issues and no change.
I did a soft reboot, no change.... I did a cache wipe, no change. I reset the network settings, no change... I reset all settings to default.. no change.
In airplane mode and WiFi on, it will see all the other signals around me that are broadcasting, but my Huawei.
Any ideas I can try?
Thanks
