Does that mean you cannot connect to V.M. hotspots? |

Re: Hot spots
I recently left VM for Vodafone/City fibre, but I don't think I used a VM hotspot more than a couple of times apart from VMs Tube Platform service (Didn't always work) In any case, the availability of 4G in most of the places I visit made the hot spots pointless. In most remote areas where 4G reception is poor, e.g. rural North Norfolk, VM don't have a presence anyway.
As an experiment, I did try turning off 4G in our area, where there was a good VM take-up, but couldn't connect to any hotspot. In the street the signal was too weak. Street boxes were supposed to be hotspots, but they didn't show up on the map anyway. VM need to stop pretending that this is a proper service. |

Re: Hot spots
Is the problem just with the VM app and Android 11?
IIRC There was a way to treat a VM hotspot in the same way as any other, without having to use the VM app. EG You could setup a Windows Laptop to use a VM hotspot. Not sure if it still works. From a few years ago. Quote:

Re: Hot spots
The problem with using your neighbours connection is that by far the vast majority have opted out.
If you opt out, then your Hub will not be transmitting the Virgin Media SSID. The Virgin Media hotspot uses WPA2 Enterprise security. Not sure if virgin Media hotspot shows, when using your own router. |

But, being pedantic for once, they (in the plural) would be "stealing" upstream opportunities and adding to downstream congestion on that channel range. |
Re: Hot spots
WiFi hotspots now work on Android 12 after you update the app
