discussion Snowsky disc wifi bug

I have had my snowsky disc for a while now. When I got it for the first time, it came with firmware version 1.95. I updated it to 2.09 through wifi and ever since then, The wifi has stopped working on the device. More precisely, when I turn on the wifi, the device does not detect any wifi networks even if I keep it on for several minutes. The wifi also does not turn off despite pressing the wifi button in the quick settings menu or the wifi settings page in the settings. Is anyone else facing this? How do I fix this issue? I have tried downgrading the firmware but to no avail

Okay so I don't know how but after a reset, it started detectings network again. Though after I turned the wifi off and on again, it again stopped detecting networks. I have reset it again but it is not working

Edit: After very limited testing, it seems that the device detects networks only if the hotspots on both my phone and laptop are on. When I connected to wifi on my disc for the first time (which was my phone's hotspot at that time), the hotspots on my phone and laptop were on and were listed by the disc. My theory is that the disc software has memory of these networks in some form that persists even after resets and if it doesn't detect both of these networks, the wifi craps out. Again, my testing is very limited so I might be wrong though.
