Hi all
This is probably a question directed to the Samsung development team, but here goes anyway…
We have a Samsung S10e running the latest firmware based on Android 10. It is our understanding that devices supporting Passpoint should set the FEATURE_WIFI_PASSPOINT feature flag (we believe this to be an ACTS validation requirement):
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/connect/wifi-passpoint
The S10e does support Passpoint; we are able to create and use Passpoint profiles on the device. However, when we query hasSystemFeature() for the FEATURE_WIFI_PASSPOINT flag, the device returns false i.e. Passpoint not supported.
We also have an S20 running Android 10, and this device returns true for FEATURE_WIFI_PASSPOINT.
As far as we can tell, this is the only way for a third party app to query for Passpoint support. Prior to Android 10, we could check if a passpoint profile API method threw an UnsupportedOperationException, but this was deprecated in Android 10.
Please could you confirm if the state of the Passpoint feature flag will be fixed in a future update for the S10e? Alternatively, please let us know if there is another mechanism that you are aware of that will enable us to query for Passpoint support.
Thanks
Rob
