Initial setup - 1042 if mobile data is turned on

[nicolaevladescu]

Hello.

I was getting started with Wio Link and i found an issue when mobile data is also turned. Screenshot on Dropbox

I was using a Nexus 5X with stock Android version 7.1.1 and December 5, 2016 patch level. After turning off mobile data i could successfully configure my Wio Link.

Also i noticed that Location must be turned on, i can't understand why it would need my location. The error displayed if Location is turned off is also missleading. Screenshot on Dropbox

Hi @nicolaevladescu Thank you for your support.

was using a Nexus 5X with stock Android version 7.1.1 and December 5, 2016 patch level. After turning off mobile data i could successfully configure my Wio Link.

I will check it ASAP.

Also i noticed that Location must be turned on, i can't understand why it would need my location. The error displayed if Location is turned off is also missleading.

Because scan Wi-Fi network must open location service above Android 6.0 . From android: "App on Marshmallow needs ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission and Location services should be enabled to get wifi scan results"

Hello.

Thanks for the explanation regarding the Location question.

As for the Mobile Data issue, it's not exactly a bug because Android does not detect internet connectivity when you are connected to the Wio Link AP and it moves to Mobile Data, as such i would not invest hours in code or workarounds if it is not simple.

I would rather document it in the Getting Started guide because it is a one time thing and not such a big deal for the user to do.

Thanks!

Thank you for your advise. Yes, this look like the new feature of Android, which automatically detects network connectivity.
