Hey guys,
Is there a good app that you'll recommend to turn on/off 3G connection?
I have used apndroid it works for me for a couple of days but today when i needed the connection, enabling the 3G from apndroid won't do it anymore..
I want to disable the 3g if i am not in wifi range and if i don't use internet..
Please help and thanks for reading!

I use Dazzle Widget. Also allows me to move Wifi, GPS, Sound, Brightness, Bluetooth, etc all to the homescreen with a widget.. Works wonders

What ROM (if any) are you using? Anything 2.2+ should have the option to disable/enable data connection from the power menu. Otherwise, the extended controls widget worked well for me.

Widgetsoid works great for me.

2g/3g widget by Curvefish

I use apn toggle by curvefish, fast, easy and nice to look at.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I like several of the curvefish widgets. You should try the battery widget and the vibrate widget.

Thanks alot guys for the response, appreciated it very much..
I picked the widgetsoid2x, as what the above poster mentioned it runs really good and it does what it says in the description..
I Recommended that app..
Thanks again!

I do have it.

This might be a dumb question but why would you want to freeze the mobile hotspot? Can't it be toggled on/off in settings?

i think he wants it out of his app drawer, or maybe he's having the same problem i'm having,weather i use opengarden, barnacle, or any of the other tethering apps, i get an icon in my notification that the "verizon" app is trying to use wifi tether

Just get some app that freezes apps. Titanium can do the job. I got my hotspot froze.

You cannot freeze it. It is buried inside some other system program, I don't remember which. You could find it and edit it out, but that is pretty advanced stuff.
He wants to freeze it because it is ALWAYS running. It will drive you insane if you use a task manager widget.
The only thing I know to work is a custom ROM. None of them have it, but you can use AOSP Wifi tether. Try Eclipse.

*#*#4636#*#* on Atrix HD?

The *#*#4636#*#* code to get to the menu to choose 3G/2G is not working. How else do you choose 3G or HSPA or 2G on the phone?

Download the app Phone Info from the Play Store, it works as a replacement to it. Works 100%

its only shows the info not change anything in radio settings though

So, you can't force the phone to go into WCDMA only mode with the app?
Update: I tried forcing it and it is working so it is certainly more than just an info app. Or did you mean something else?

Of course you can tinker with the settings, I used it to disable 4G LTE

How did you disable LTE? I try switching to 3G or EDGE and it goes back to automatic

It works fine for me, the 4G logo remains but 4G stays disabled. I set it to WCDMA only and it stays that way.

If you have ATT, you need to switch it to GSM only

That trick (*#*#4636#*#* ) is still in some official support notes but may no longer work, perhaps due to a JB update or provider chicanery, and on my phone Power Toggles only invokes a native configuration screen in which network settings is greyed out .
I've been using "LTE Setting" by Ryo Ueshima to force 4G without LTE. In spite of having been designed for the Sony Xperia, on my AT&T Atrix HD the "LTE Setting" app successfully forces the setting until phone is next powered off (not sleep, actually powered off) like so:
Within the app under "Set prefered network type"
- Select "WCDMA only" to use 4G (HSDPA) without LTE. Phone shows 4G icon without the LTE icon.
or
- Select "GSM only" to use Edge (LOL and to hear some nostalgic interference in nearby speakers). Phone shows E icon for Edge.
- The default for this setting on my phone/provider combination is LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Phone shows 4G and LTE icons. This state is restored if the phone is powered off/on and I wont mess with any other settings in this app.
I don't know of this will work for providers other than AT&T but has worked like a charm for me while AT&T updates software for Lucent switches in their towers in an attempt to fix an LTE specific issue where phones are not properly being switched to the phone-call state by a service called Modem FastDormancy Monitor Service (the service resides on the phone but problem invoking it is in the towers). Coincidentally the aforementioned update to the towers was applied just days ago and today is the first day that I haven't needed to force 4G without LTE in order to prevent missed calls. This settings force also has battery conservation application and may help maintain more reliable service when when mobile in some instances.

Tweak the build.prop to use WCDMA only. Don't have the value off hand...you're a 3 year xda member...longer than me...you should be able to find it. Might have to do a factory reset to make that setting stick. Titanium Backup Pro batch comes in handy for doing build.prop mods.

Cleaning up old threads and found this. Late though it is, why not add; If you use Nova Launcher you can create a shortcut to an "Activity" named "Phone Info" which invokes the same settings panel.

Lollipop and Mobile Data

I know this is all over the web but, all the activity I have seen is a month old so just thought I check out. Is there a way to quickly diaable mobile data. Seems absurd to me that google actually removed programatic access to this funcion.

Settings / data usage / cellular data toggle. I think it used to be under more/ cellular networks. You can also tap the cellular icon in quick settings and you'll see the toggle at the top.
This is on 5.0

I know of that path, What I meant was: every single apn disabling tool I tried stopped working. Before I used tasker to trigger APNDroid, but that's gone now. I think I wasnt clear before, sorry!

If you have root you might want to try my app/widget Toggle Data 5.0. It doesn't change APNs but I think it fits your purpose well.

How to fix the incoming call bug?

Guys,
Cant answer any incoming call, no screen to answer show up.
Anyway fix this bug?

Nexus 6. Stock, this phone is not rooted.
This phone came directly from Motorola and they were sent directly from China I believe.
So these ones are not from any T-Mobile, att or any other carrier local store. I believe that sprint have this issue.

Problem solved, as last resource I had to do a factory reset. It fixed the problem.

The heads up notification is in the SDK and has to be disabled/enabled by the developer (in this case Google for the Phone app). There is currently no option to turn the heads up notifications on/off anywhere in settings or the Phone settings. You could try a factory reset on the phone, and see if that fixes it.
If you are rooted, I would not factory reset. I would get the phone app from XDA, remove it from the phone, and install it as a system app and see if that fixes it.
Otherwise, the only possible way I know of is through a custom ROM (you would need to be rooted). I know for a fact that Pure ROM has a setting to turn heads up notifications on/off, don't know if any others have the option.

I'm on Sprint, so I had to do the "Settings - > More - > Cellular Networks - > Preferred Network Type " and switch to 3G. It's a pain, but this is the only fix that works for me / until Sprint fixes the network CFSB issue.

This issue of incoming call screen not opening just started a few days ago for me. I've tried every possible fix I can think of, even doing a factory reset as a last resort, but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
