Hotspot quick settings toggle - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone been able to get the hotspot quick settings toggle icon to appear? It showed up automatically on my N4 after I installed the lollipop update. So far, its not showing up on my N6. I've turned hotspot on several times but still no icon.
Google really needs to add a way to customize that menu.

Not sure why yours isn't showing up... the only thing I've changed which might be related is adding the following to build.prop
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Hope this helps.

Mine didn't show up on my GPS Nexus 6 running on AT&T until I made this change.

I guess that's the reason then. I wasn't planning on rooting my phone but between this and the encryption, I might not have a choice. Thanks for the responses guys. I have no idea why Google would restrict that convenient button by default.

Thanks, the hotspot toggle showed up as soon as I added this to my build.prop.

I got mines once I turn it on without root and build.prop edit..

What do you have to do to have it normally pop up in quick settings? Is it supposed to show up after the first use?

What carrier are you on? Maybe that's the difference? I have been unable to get it to show up on both AT&T and Verizon.

AT&T and Verizon phones both check your subscription before allowing the hotspot and this is why the toggle doesn't show up on its own

That must be the reason since that check is what the build.prop change disables. I still think its silly that it affects the button though. My plan allows tethering. Can't I have the quick settings button and when I press it, it can check my subscription just like the deeper settings menu option?

[Q] "Allow mobile data?" yes/no each time enable data

Hi,
Each time I enable mobile data, a dialog pops up reading:
"Allow mobile data? Additional charges may apply......... Cancel / OK"
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

(screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmn8rqfdp5isnev/2013-04-17 16.25.11.png)
Is there anyway to disable/bypass this message as it's annoying I have to tick ok each time I want to turn on mobile data.
Thanks in advance,
PS running stock rom
I noticed that problem too and would be interested in a solution for that. But i don't know how to solve that...:/
Get a widget that turns data on. I'm using Power Toggles and I don't get the question, only if I enabled from the top status bar icon.

Thanks - good to know, but I'd rather just stick with using the top status bar.
I wonder if Elixir2 can block it, much like it blocks the 'data off' notification as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39570962&postcount=13
Wouldn't know what setting to look for in Elixir2 though.
Cheers
I also like to use original Sony widget..any possibility to disable? Also disabled the notification when you turn it off with elixier..but dont Know which File to disable..

This is bugging me as well. I think this can fixed with root. I have no experience in development so I can't tell you for sure, but if one can change the size of navbars, then skipping this message should be accomplished by changing a 1 into a 0 somwhere in the code.
Have looked through the other services in Elixir2 and nothing obvious stands out to turn off this Cancel/OK dialog on activation of data. It's incredibly annoying!
(have successfully disabled the notification after turning it off)
Would love to know which flag it is I need to disable...

No Silent mode during sleep

After updating to lollipop I found out that the silent mode doesn't work during sleep. Even though it shows its ON.. all the sounds can be heard and notification sound also works.. Anyone else got this problem?? :screwy:

Guess what I was trying to say is there are many ways to set it up. I have mine set for priority interruptions only and it works great. I was only suggesting there is information on setting it up on the web including Motorola's site. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Oh... one other thing to be aware of is that a bug exists in Moto Voice that sets the ringer volume to 60% (if it is set below that, or even off), every time it is invoked, purposely or accidentally. Perhaps that is what is causing the behavior you're seeing.

I think Motorola has to update assist.
Right now seems that android's settings overwrite Moto's settings.
Assist works great for me. Every night I have it go to sleep and 12:00 and all notifications are quiet until 5:00. It just uses your priority settings, so I am not sure why it isn't working for you. Your screenshot wasn't taken during a time it was supposed to be sleeping, right? Because those settings (as shown) are allowing all interruptions.
Mine works fine, but the deal is: some apps override priority modes by themselves (looking at you, facebook stuff), you have to set them manually. At least, that was my case.

You need to set the days and time for "Downtime" in which Moto Assist (Sleep Mode) enables Priority Mode.

OK Google detection options grayed out (sometimes)

On every rom I've tried so far, the OK Google voice command sometimes works from the lock screen, sometimes not. When I go to check the settings for voice control, the"Always on" and "Personal results" are grayed out and obviously I can't use OK Google from the lock screen. But then sometime later the options are back and no longer grayed out. It works when it wants to and I have no control over it.
Is this a known bug? Or is there some custom rom setting that's interfering with voice detection? Very strange.
I thought it depended on whether the device was charging or not

No it doesn't. The Nexus 6 has the always listening feature like the Moto X. It's just weird that's been broken on 3 different roms.

Anyone have an issue where the 1st time you initiate the okay Google command that it brings up an unsuccessful web search? I have to initiate it a second time and it works. If I uninstall the Google search update everything works fine. Only when I update it do I run into this issue.

Actually yes, I have done that. But it's only a temporary fix. I don't see why, after wiping my device 3 times, and it still keeps happening. When I switch roms, I make sure to do a complete wipe from twrp (factory reset, then advanced and hand select wipes except internal storage, then wipe cache and dalvik before reboot into new rom) I don't understand why 3 different roms have the same issue.
At this point, I'm so happy with Candy rom that I can overlook this issue, but it's just nice if everything would work as intended.

For some reason, the text on my account sync page now looks like this. I'm not sure what caused this.
I'm running the latest stock ROM 5.1 , system version 23.16.3 RETEUALL, build number LPE23.32-25.3
Phone version: XT1092
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
Things that I've already tried:
1. Clearing cache partition.
2. Changing font size.
3. I use Nova Launcher, tried to change to Google Launcher. Still not fixed.
Try changing from military time back to 12?
I'm grasping at straws too lol.
Do you have the toggles to the right? I notice mine is on two lines rather than just one.
Just to confirm:
This is settings then accounts then Google then click the last sync time to see that screen.

Yes, that settings. I don't have toggles to the right because I use manual sync, I've disabled the "Auto-sync data" checkbox.
If you don't mind, can you try to disable your auto-sync and see whether your text is also on one line?
Previously my text was on two lines even when I disabled the auto-sync.
Thanks.
With it turned off I still have everything on two lines. But I have an xt1095 so maybe there is something different
What version of google do you have? I know it's old from the icon in the picture. Have you tried updating the google app?

Just updated it today, now it's version 5.4.28.19.arm with the new icon.
The problem is still there. And I've checked other account like Twitter and Whatsapp, the text is also on one line.
It seems this problem is caused by latest OTA. Other user with XT1092 also has the same problem.

do you live near McDonalds?
I get the same if I leave wifi on and leave home. It will keep sending me pop ups about Bright House networks being available and for me to sign in.
Only solution so far is to turn off WiFi when leaving home .

Settings > connections > click wifi (not the toggle button) > top right hit "advanced" > toggle off the network notification.

I believe that's what you're looking for.

This is how I've done away with the wifi available or not signed in notification on other phones and that's what I've tried with this Note 9, but the notifications persist.

Did you try tapping the notification settings from your drop menu, and then uncheck notifications from that android system notification
These look like the best option to get rid of the persistent wifi notifications, but I cannot select OFF.

IDK. Tried several things.
The next time I get it, I'll give your instructions a whirl.
I think I resolved mine with using the toggle under advanced notification and Android sub menu.
