I've got CM 5.0.4.1 and I'm just wondering if anyone has come across a widget to turn this off and on?
anyone?
The closest I could come up with is:
Create a shortcut to the Wireless-and-network-settings activity, the checkbox for usb tethering is on top so you should be able to enable/disable it in 2 taps total.
Where can I find the USB Tethering drivers? I can't find them . Running CM 5.0.6/Nexus One

Hi, I am using Froyo 2.2 (FRF50) and I am looking for an App or Widget to turn ON/OFF the Wireless HotSpot from the Home Screen, today the only option I know is by going into Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Tethering & Portable Hotspot --> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, thanks

that would be great maybe a shortcut would be enough. I thought you could creat shortcuts with "bettercut", anywhere you liked. but i don't know if it works woth Froyo. maybe worth to try? it's not a free tough.

I recently rooted my Samsung Captivate using SuperOneClick 1.9.1. The only things I have done since rooting the device is allow sideloading (by editing settings.db with SQLite Editor), so I can install apps from Amazon Appstore and used Titanium Backup to delete bloatware.
I noticed that when I installed SwiftKey that I would click 'Enable Swiftkey' and then click on Swiftkey settings only to be told that I need to enable swiftkey in order to change the settings. I thought it was a problem with swiftkey.
However, I then noticed that the phone kept reverting to USB Debugging Mode and only after three attempts was I able to disable USB debugging and mount my drive. I finally figured out that it's a problem with changing settings; can anybody tell me how to fix this? Thanks.
Super one click 1.whatever has the option to enable side-loading ( 2nd tab! ) so you really waisted some time on that one!
if you are running a custom rom, they are made to keep debugging on, it doesnt stop you from doing anything.
to enable swift key:
menu button > settings > locale and text > check swiftkey to enable.
ive never used swiftkey but that is how all other keyboards go....
all else fails install a custom rom / pre-rooted, crap removed, extra options, side loading tethering ect...
More info
The problem isn't just SwiftKey or USB debugging. All settings on the phone are screwed up. I hold down the power button and bring up the options:
Data Network Mode: I restarted the phone and 3g was enabled. I clicked on the data network mode and disabled it. But now it's always off, yet it says it's activated (and I can't set it to deactivated)
Airplane Mode: I can't put the phone in airplane mode, nor can I do this from the settings menu
Sound: This works fine
On the Power Control Widget:
Brightness: I can change brightness, but the icon stays the same
Sync: This button works fine
GPS: This button is not responding
Bluetooth: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have bluetooth)
Wifi: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have wifi nearby)
The settings menu:
I know that Swiftkey and USB debugging are giving me problems
As for the custom ROM, I was having problems with the the signature error on 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051197)
I'm going to try out the advise from that thread and see if I can resolve this with a custom ROM. Normally I'd say this is "throwing out the baby with the bath water," but I'm excited about putting a custom ROM on my phone for performance reasons.
If there is another solution, I'd like to know about it because I want to be a little more adept before installing a ROM on my phone. Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Just got the dock for my Gnote. I've managed to find the settings page to disable/enable external speakers. However this seems to be the only option under "dock"
As it stands each time I dock the phone I get the "complete action using" pop-up. Is there a way to disable this? As I don't want a default action when I dock my phone. I'd rather it just stay on the homescreen and charge. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere.
Cheers.
I have a Nexus 6 (not rooted) on Verizon, I pay for Hotspots. I would like to use NFC tag's to trigger turning on or off my hotspot or at the very least use a widget that i can turn on/off hotspots. it seems that all the widgets/tasker/Triggger does not turn the hotspot feature on and off so i have to go to the settings each time to turn on the hotspot.
is there a problem with hotspots ?
You can use anycut and create a shortcut icon. As for NFC, you can use a Tasker profile.

Well thats the problem Tasker isnt working but has on other phones. I was wondering if there is a problem with nexus6,non-rooted phones, or Android 5.0.1 has a problem with toggling Hotspot.
If I make a Tasker Action:
Code:
Action >>Settings>>Net>>WifiTether>>[Set] (Toggle)
Then run the action, I get an error of
Action WiFi tether Failed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
for example even using "Toggle Hotspot Widget" the widget will reflect if i have turned on/off the hotspot but the widget cannot change the state of the hotspot. it seems that nexus 6 cannot use wigets or anything other going to the settings.
another odd thing that might be related. The Quick settings for hotspot never shows up which should be an added feature of 5.0.1
I've seen mixed results on the 5.0.1 having the hotspot in the quick settings automatically. I know that mine did not. I just added the following to my build.prop and it showed up- but you have to be rooted for this:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

I've had the same issue... Tasker nor Trigger are able to turn on/off the hotspot like it has on every other phone I've had. Ever come up with anything that would work?
Same here. Nexus 5x, Android 6.0.1, factory settings. The only way to turn on tethering is in Settings -> Wireless & networks -> More -> Tethering & portable hotspot. The hotspot shortcut in the swipe-down menu only works to turn tethering off, not to turn it on.
Did this get resolved? I'm running pure nexus and nfc not working for hotspot
