Is there a reason why they have not created a Mobile Data Toggle on/off switch for the none rooted Hero using either ADW or LauncherPro UI other than the only option of using the end button and scrolling down to turn it off

All 3rd party widget apps say it's because it requires system access or something to that extent. There is one app that can do it. Download JuiceDefender. If you don't care for its battery saving functions, just open the app and disable it. After it's installed though, you can add a "Toggle mobile data" widget which acts just the way you want.
On stock running sense you can hold the power button and toggle it on it off by selecting mobile network

I already mentioned that at the end of my post, LOL which is not what I want to do as it is a 2 step process, which becomes a PITA

I did install JuiceDefender a couple of days ago but cannot get the data stream to work, it is X out, any suggestions on how to get it to work, again remember I am on Sprint, I sent the developer an email but have not received a reply from him as of yet
I use a widget called smoda widget from the market. That takes care of it. I think it needs root I forget.

Basically, just disable JuiceDefender. Then add the "Toggle mobile data" widget to your homescreen! You don't have to fiddle with JuiceDefender if you don't need it. Just use the toggle widget

Hmm that is def strange, it's not doing that for me. When you turn data off, do you see the Ev status icon next to status bars disappear? They should!

I added a OOPs to my post, I had Wifi on,LOL, but I do have a question for you, I tried putting the widget on another page, as I am not crazy about the icon, but when I do put it on another page, I cannot get the JD icon off the notication bar, even when disabled, any clue, can you try it, I assume it has to be on the home screen
Open the main app, on the bottom click on Advanced mode if you haven't yet. On the top to the right Disabled/Enabled click on Notification. Notification is an option only if JD is enabled. If JD if disabled you shouldn't see the notification icon. Note, JD being on and Data being on are 2 different things, you follow?
Thanks Bud !!

Is there anyway I can change the setting to enable/disable Touchless Controls with Tasker? It would be useful to turn off Touchless Controls at bedtime or when I know I wouldn't be using them to begin with. No clue how to approach this.
but friend, is not necessary! and I couldn't find a way to do this. who will say ok google now during the night?

You can do this with Secure Settings.
I forget what the action is called within Secure Settings, but it just does the Android 'disable' for you
Titanium backup can give you a widget to freeze it with a click.
But yeah....4 clicks can toggle it off in settings.

But when you disable it, won't you have to re-enable it manually?

That takes care of disabling it... however, when you re-enable it, you still have to go to Settings to "Enable" it again. :|

Secure settings -> root actions -> package state. When you use "disable" do NOT use "user disable."
As long as touchless controls was on before you use secure settings to disable it, it will be on still when you use secure settings to re-enable it

Why would you disable it while you sleep? It hardly drains the battery as is. Are you saying OK Google Now in your sleep?
Hi guys, I accidentally set the home button to do nothing when I long press it. I can't figure out how to set it back to Google Now as there is nothing under the. Application defaults. Any ideas? Thanks.

Nothing there. :/ I was considering reflashing the stock ROM anyway. I guess now is a good time.
Never mind I don't want to do that. Haha. I'll keep looking for a solution.
Wanam Xposed was unable to fix the issue also.
I'm not sure which I'm more frustrated with; The fact that I accidentally removed the key assignment or that the ability to do so is even allowed in the stock rom without a way to change it back.

Do you happen to have greenify installed? That was the only time i have had that option come up as a default. Furthermore, when i monitor the default applications list, setting the action to nothing makes greenify come up. If this is the case then go ahead and click the clear button next to greenify in the default applications listing, should work, next time you longpress you should be able to set it to google now, you can also go in the menu of greenify and press "Reset pull-up gesture".

I did indeed. Greenify was the culprit. Still had to relfash the stock rom to get the action back though. Oh well.

Unfortunately I had already flashed the rom when you replied, but I will remember what you said so it doesn't happen again. Lol. Thanks.
Go into airplane mode, then come out, directly after hit whichever one you want to do (wifi hotspot/USB tethering) and it should work without problems. I have tried and used both. If you have an easier way, please share!
Go to An settings and add dun to the end of the pan type. Works everytime. Not just Motorola, works on Note8 and V20
"An settings"? "pan type"?
Are these typos we have to decrypt? I don't have anything like this is my Network Settings.

Lol if he's typing on this phone I can understand it, I mistype a lot on this one. But I do look back and fix them. You should try the APN settings and see if they work for you. I still gotta stick with the airplane mode method.

No they don't. Maybe in one of them, but not mine.
If you go to sprint.com you'll see on the front page they include 10 GB of hotspot data. After those 10 gigs I believe it's throttled. I've had this for as long as I can remember.

WARNING about switching to a plan with free 10GB/mounth Mobile Hot Spot: Despite confirming with the Sprint phone jockey that Google Voice carrier integration would still work when I switched from my Everything to a Freedom Unlimited plan; it ended up breaking the integration and "cancelling" my Google Voice account. It took me about five days talking to Google and Sprint; and only after going back to the Everything plan, I was able to get GV working again.

I just acquired a stock Sprint Z2 Force on Oreo 8.0 and the usual Airplane / Quick Hotspot tap fix isn't working like it did on the E5 Plus and Z3 Play, both of which were also running Oreo - the hotspot never activates on the Z2. APN's are all greyed out and locked and there's no way to add another one as of now. I need Hotspot in emergencies only, but I do need it for those occasional situations. Any other workarounds? Thanks!
Update - APN's can be added (not edited or removed) when the phone first reboots, but adding the dun command to the default "internet x.ispsn" APN - under a new APN with all other settings duplicated (as was suggested) - doesn't enable the hotspot as of now.

Do you mean a notification that you have to clear, or like a toast notification? Are you stock or on a custom ROM? When you restart your phone, does it ask for your pin or password the first time? If so does that give you a similar message?

I have the Sprint version, idk if it's an app that's creating it or something with Samsung, I'm running Evie launcher if that matters.
I've seen this every once in a while but i can't recreate it for some reason. Are you talking about the quick toast message that has a white background and says " Phone unlocked with fingerprint" with a lock symbol in it? If so do you happen to use Lockstar from the Goodlock apps?

Ok now it showed even though I have been unlocking it often, I'm convinced that it is totally random.

It's not random for me. Only pops up when I'm using an app while the phone is locked (Maps, phone call, etc).

First of all this isn't a issue. Samsung has probably made this notification to appear, since some have iris and fingerprint set. So if you decide to unlock the phone with iris and you accidentally put your finger on fingerprint on the back. Then this notification appears to inform you, that you unlocked your phone with fingerprint instead of iris. So it's completely normal and nothing you can remove.
