Does anyone know where i could find a toggle widgets for froyo's tether? I'm trying to avoid going to settings, wireless, tether and checking/unchecking the box.
Thanks in advance for any help.

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.

Has anyone found a hotspot toggle that works reliably? Neither Power Toggles nor Widgetsoid are able to turn it on, seemingly because the phone needs to verify the service. They can turn it off ok. It is one of the little annoyances that seem to really bother me. Once in a while I saw it turn on successfully but usually I have to go into settings.
I like Power Toggles design and features but I'd jump ship for this toggle. I'd prefer a widget that allowed multiple toggles on a bar style set up, but a stand alone widget could work

Thanks for the recommendation.
Tried it, but it doesn't work as I hoped. It is primarily a shortcut to the settings menu. I am seeking a one touch hotspot widget, like Power Toggles and Widgetsoid were on my last Android phones. With previous phones I could have a switch that turned hotspot on and off without entering settings; I rarely used the setting menu, as I should be able to access the most frequent things like brightness, hotspot, and sound without going into the menus.
Since NO play store toggles seem to work I turned to Tasker. I've been using Tasker on and off since it came out. Usually for simple tasks like this toggle. However I cannot get Tasker to do it either. The toggle seems to work to switch the setting but the authorization delay before the phone turns it on seems to mess it up.
Any ideas?
+1 would luv a solution.

If you're rooted, you can get the stock touchwiz hotspot toggle back (that should be in with the quick toggles on the notification pane) with a little digging.
This is the thread I went to to get the mobile data toggle back, but the same works for the hotspot toggle:

Basically you need to get sqlite and use it to modify values in your settings.db file. Follow his instructions, but instead of adding MobileData; add WiFiHotspot; (case sensitive and don't forget the semicolon)

That's buggy as well. It works great for data and the other toggles work great as well, just not the hotspot. That's probably why AT&T disabled the toggle from original firmware. The toggle was actually there when I only flashed the AP file from the firmware, but disappeared after the other files were flashed.
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

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
Hi everyone, I just got the Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S10 and I was wondering if there is any way to get a data toggle without having to root the phone. Thank you.
Try "tiles" by rascarlo

I think bstangs1 means a data toggle - not a data tile.
You can not set an data toggle on your screen on android 9 without root.
I think it ist related to google android restrictions so there are no toogle apps that works.
Hey thanks for the replies and suggestions. I figured that there wasn't any way to do it but thought I would ask anyway. I ended up using the Quick Settings App which is easier than going through all the settings to get to the mobile data settings, now I just have to click on the data icon in the pull down settings and it brings me right to the data settings.
I'm on Telus in Canada and they have disabled the hotspot quick toggle.
Is there any way to eneble it?
Currently in using app to get mé to the settings where toggle is.
It would be nice to have the toggle back where it belongs. Thx
