Can anyone recommend

An app or widget that will allow me to connect to WiFi networks - something nice and efficient?
I currently have to go through Settings - Wireless - Wireless settings - then choose a network. I'd like a one click solution.
cheers

You can put a shortcut to the On/Off switch on any homescreen.
You'll find it at:
Settings>HTC-widget>Settings>WiFi

Thats just 'on/off' toggle which is not what I'm after - I want an app that will ( at one click ) - show available networks ( open or otherwise ) and let me join them.

That would be nice indeed! I'm also interested.

I installed Andrew Schwimmer's 'Bar Control' app. I how have a "Wi-fi settings" shortcut in my notification bar - ideal.

Does your Hero not notify you when it finds an open network ?
Mine does and by hitting the notification, it takes you to the correct Settings page to choose a network.

[Q] Widget replacing series of screentaps?

Due to my wonderful provider (KPN Mobile in The Netherlands) I have a very very poor reception at home. Causing simple telephone conversations to be cut off. They have only one solution: indoors I should use Wifi, switch off Mobile Data plus change Network Mode to GSM only.
Indeed that works, but it is crazy to do that every time I get home. It involves 11 screentaps:
settings - Wif-Fi on - back - More settings - Mobile Networks - Mobile data OFF - Network Mode - GSM Only - back - back - back.
Then, when I step outside, I have to repeat the whole process, disbaling Wi-Fi, enabling mobile data and setting Network Mode to 4G.
Would there be a widget, or is there some simple way of programming, to replace all these taps with one?
I am on Android 4.1.2, the phone is not rooted.

Both wifi and mobile data ON / OFF are on the quick settings drop down panel at the top of your screen.

Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately there is no quick-setting for changing the Network Mode, and exactly that causes several needed screentaps, even via the quick-menu:
slide-down - Wif-Fi ON - long-press Mobile Data - Mobile data OFF - Network Mode - GSM Only - back.
So indeed, 7 instead of 11.
Still, it would be preferable to have a widget on the homescreen or some kind of script to replace this series of "keystrokes" with one tap ....

NFC task launcher

Tasker is another possible .

Right ... checked both Tasker and NFC Task Launcher. What I noticed is that no external program can change the Network Mode, due to rights-management in Android. Only one of the two can do that when Cyanogenmod is applied, and I am on stock.
So what i did now was place https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.softxperience.android.switchnetworktype&hl=en on the homescreen, from there it is only one extra tap to Network Mode.
What I would be looking for now, is one little app that toggles between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data.
Something like the G/3G switch, preferably a program to be put on the homescreen (not a widget), that with one tap simply toggles
Wi-Fi OFF and Mobile Data ON
Wi-Fi ON and Mobile Data OFF
So far I have not found such a thing ... every app I found strictly toggles either Wi-Fi or Mobile Data on and off, but not toggling between them.

[Q] XT1092 Remove carrier name from status bar

On the top left of my screen (in the status bar, or notification bar) I constantly have a "3" (since I'm on the Three UK network).
Is there a way to get rid of this?
It's rooted, but stock Lollipop XT1092. On KitKat I'd use Xposed with that MotoXposed app, but I don't think that's a possibility on Lollipop.

Brilliant, thanks! I didn't think there'd be an option like that hanging round for some reason, I've never seen it before.

Force 5GHz wifi? (9.7)

Hey everyone - just want to check if people have noticed this and/or have a workaround for it.
I'd like to set my device to connect only to 5GHz networks. On other devices, I'd do this by Settings -> Wifi -> (menu) -> Advanced and toggle the Wifi Frequency option there. As far as I can see, the Advanced option isn't available on the Wifi menu screen.
1) Is the advanced settings screen missing for everyone else?
2) Is there another way to access this screen?
3) Is there another way to toggle the relevant setting?
Thanks for your help.

Android Settings Shortcut

So here's the thing. I always use the *#*#4636#*#* code to change to LTEonly/WCDMAonly/GSMonly. To be honest, it seems quite a task to go into the dialer every time to enter the settings option. I've tried using the Network mode changer apps on play store, but they all seem to change it to LTE preferred rather than LTE only. I wanted to know if there was a way i could create a shortcut to enter these settings, or maybe a widget that would allow me to change the settings like this.

Settings >> Mobile networks >> Preferred network type.
