I've now been using Graphene (on a Pixel 8A) for about a month, and there are three or four things that I'd consider annoyances--they're not necessarily bugs, but they're frustrating. Maybe they're easily fixed through a menu I never explored, or perhaps they're actual things developers might want to address. I'll bring each one up in a separate post.

OK so the first one is that the hotspot is only accessible from the owner account. If I want to use it (and I use it often), I have to unlock my phone, swipe down twice to get to the icon that denotes I am the user ("me"), switch to "Owner," unlock that account, swipe down, turn on the hot spot, then swipe down again, to switch back to "Me."

This seems to me like a gratuitous pain in the butt. Why can't I switch it on from "Me"? Is there a real security rationale, and if so what? (At least then it wouldn't feel like a gratuitous pain in the butt.) If there is a rationale, could we consider letting the user of the system circumvent it at their own risk?

IIRC, how AOSP handle's all WiFi processes is only through the Owner Profile. To allow a secondary profile to touch WiFi would require substantial rewriting of the code for profiles.

Personally, I would love being able to toggle a Profiles WiFi access like you can its Phone/SMS access but that seems unlikely to occur any time soon.

    No, this is wrong.

    It is already possible to allow secondary users to control WiFi settings and hotspot.

    Such features are controlled through the "UserManager", it decides what secondary users are allowed to change and what not.

    The toggles are just not exposed in the Users settings.

      If it is just a matter of adding the toggles then why hasn't it been done?

      That seems like it would be a really easy change that would be a major quality of life improvement.

        I don't know. You can look if it already was requested as a feature on the issue tracker and request it yourself if it wasn't.

        If it really is easy to just expose the toggles (it might not be so straight forward) it might be done.
