While in airplane mode, the hotspot is locked to 2.4 GHz range. Graphene should allow user to choose their CRDA domain manually.

In order to achieve this devices always respect their programmed regulatory domain and a country code selection will only enhance regulatory restrictions

This might be harder than i thought. Anyway, my device was purchased in the US, and i should at least get access to 5 GHz range.

    Or maybe not:

    As it currently stands, the OS doesn't even treat hints:

    I think GrapheneOS should allow users to change their regulatory domain while following the US/JP restriction laws to land in the safe spot:

    As things currently stand, a US purchased phone with Airplane mode on doesn't impose the US CRDA domain and locks itself out of legal ranges. In other words, the imposed restrictions have no basis whatsoever.
