No hotspots on Android 5? #42

Closed Dbof closed 8 years ago

I just noticed this when I was testing the Wi-Fi connectivity using three different Moto G devices. When I select hotspot in the network settings of Rumble, nothing happens. The hotspot settings in the device's settings menu do not change either. I can finely connect to a hotspot though.

Motorola Moto G Android version 5.1.1

Hotspots do work with the Samsung device with version 4.4.4.

Can someone confirm this does not work for any v5.* devices?

Found the issue. The following permission is missing:

    <uses-permission
        android:required="true"
        android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
