Environment-dependent behavior

Support starts at Android 8.0; real compatibility is measured on-device

Android 8.0 is the minimum supported version, not a promise that every Android 8.0+ device can maintain the required ingress and cellular networks together.

Compatibility factors

  • Android device model and OS version
  • OEM background and multi-network policies
  • Carrier, SIM and data-plan restrictions
  • Concurrent Wi-Fi and cellular capability
  • Hotspot implementation and client isolation
  • Client SOCKS5 or HTTP support and whether apps honor system settings
  • Available IPv4, IPv6 and DNS conditions

Status meanings

Supported

Supported

The required capability has been observed and is available now.

Unavailable

Unavailable

The required network or feature is not currently available.

Needs user action

Needs user action

A system setting, mobile-data state or manual step needs attention.

Unknown

Unknown

The phone cannot confirm the result without an external client test.

Possibly blocked by OEM isolation

Possibly blocked by OEM isolation

The hotspot or Wi-Fi implementation may prevent local client access.

Why hotspot isolation stays Unknown

Without a real client connecting from the hotspot side, the phone cannot reliably test whether that client can reach a local listener. CellRoute therefore reports Unknown rather than a false success.
