Although I have been running this version of the kernel for about two weeks now as my daily driver, and I test everything in real life, I take no responsibility if the phone has an issue, scares your cat, drops the job interview call of your life or makes you fight with your neighbor 😉

Good one
Thx Yoann for beta testing 😉
In system info I didn’t see the name of the kernel.
Yes, I saw that.
I presume it’s a bug of Android caused by the starting “[“.
Will have a look at it next week to confirm.
Thx for reporting!
There is a problem on both v26 and v27 with wifi hotspot.
The hotspot turns on and off continuously.
That is weird as I use hot-spot at home…
What rom are you using?
Normal Wi-Fi is working ok?
Do you use standard system hot-spot or via a special app with root?
Thx for reporting.
I had a moment to test it and it is working as expected without issues with official Samsung rom NF4
I m on ugng1 (possibly this is the porblem) stock rom/root.
I m using the stock wifi hotspot.
Wifi runs smooth.
As mentioned, possibly the there is a conflict with ugng1.
Kind regards
Ok, thank you for reporting.
