How does one disable spotpass? I'm pretty sure I had send system data enabled but I don't know how to check. BTW I'm not banned.
System Settings, Internet Settings, Spotpass settings.

Also, either lots of people are lying, or there are more or less as many people banned who had spotpass as those who had it off.

I have 3 3DSes(11.4 luma3ds boot9strap). All of my 3DSes have "Spotpass" and "Sending System Information to Nintendo" enabled, but only 1 of them got banned.

I disabled spotpass as soon i got my brand new 2DS before even installing a9lh or any other non-official app.

Call me paranoid but i usually disable any type of telemetry or "sharing personal information with the company to enhance user experience" in any device

my 2DS had it on (now turned off) and was not banned (yet?)
my n3dsxl had it on (now off not that it matters) and it was banned, not that it matters tho since it had already been banned on sumo banwave (was unbanned after clean lfcs b injection)

both systems are EUR on 11.4 running b9s + luma
n3dsxl was just recently updated to 11.4 (like 4 days ago) and went online with it at that time (after b9s install)
2DS has been on 11.4 for a while but haven't connected it online in about 2/3 weeks (haven't connected after b9s install)

hope this helps

  • 51% chance of a ban with it enabled.
  • 25% chance of a ban with it disabled.
That's pretty significant, even ignoring that some of the poll results probably aren't right.
