I’ve used the ESP-01 for a project without too much difficulty, setting it up as an access point and using it to serve a web page to my phone, allowing me to control external hardware and display status from it. The hardware can be in use anywhere and there’s not necessarily a network for it to connect to, but that’s fine, I only want to connect to my phone.
And then along came Android Pie...
This version of Android doesn’t seem to like wifi without internet access. It connects to the ESP-01 wifi, but then disconnects and retries, over and over again.
Other people must have come across this but I haven’t found any solutions on the internet, so I’m hoping I’m just doing something stupid!
Is there a way to get Android Pie to stay connected to a wifi network without internet access?
Failing that, is there a way to get the ESP-01 to advertise itself as having internet access even when it hasn’t?
