Couldn't Android just ask for the DHCP option? It sounds to me as if this is a case of Android as a DHCP client talking to Android as a DHCP host, so making Android ask as a client seems feasible.
- remosi 13y agoYeah, it could. It doesn't tho. So you have to remember to force it if you want android to listen to you setting the attribute.
- Tichy 13y agoAh, is the article written for other platforms who want to emulate Android in automatically limiting Hotspots on mobile plans? Then it makes sense.
- remosi 13y agoThat was why I wrote it yes. I wanted to know how I could ask android phones politely to avoid slamming the bandwidth on an AP that really didn't have the backhaul for everyone's photos and kept these notes in case I needed to do it again (or someone asked me how to do it.) I wasn't expecting it to be read by more than about 3 people who were trying to figure this out :)
