[Q] How to enable 3g data with one touch? - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I've just updated my G2 2014 to Lollipop (5.0.2) and I was wondering if is it possible to enable 3g data from the quick setting with just one touche, like the wi-fi does.
It seems incredible to me that all the other settings can be activated or deactivated with just one touch, except for the 3g data.
Thanks in advance.

nope there isnt a one touch key for that...

Use Power Toggles as a separate widget on the Homescreen.
The 3G toggle works perfectly, and even more so when Tasker does it automatically.

Try toggle data 5.0 made by one of our own xda'ers - most other toggle data apps won't work cause lollipop is super secure about stuff and it needs SELinux permissive stuff which is only in SuperSU, so you need SuperSU and toggle data 5.0.apk (free on official XDA thread)

4g toggle

Does anyone know if there is a widget capable of toggling the 4g on and off?
I haven't found a widget but you can switch between 4g/3g in this menu...
Settings > Wireless & Network settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
That's been my current method, but i'm looking for something much faster for when I know ill be watching nfl live stream or using the market.
I have not found one either. Extended controls has the controller widget but I don't think it's updated for Bionic yet. Errors saying your device is not 4g-capable.
Have you tried Power Control Plus? I don't know if it's compatible with the Bionic (and I haven't seen any upgrade notices for it recently), but I believe it had a 4G toggle available.
The app "LTE Switch" is good. throw a shortcut on the homescreen and it takes you directly to the settings to turn it on/off

In my opinion this works good. it also gives you the choice for 1ex (cdma only) in those areas (like my work) where the phone is trying to access 3g but cant.
So you have the option to go 1ex, 3g or lte.
I just downloaded LTE switch and I agree that it works well enough for now.
Zdbox network widget works as well

Functional Hotspot Toggle???Using Tasker???

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.

XPosed, What works and what doesn't

I wanted to start a thread to give and gather information with the community on what works and doesn't with XPosed framework and Wanam XPosed. Please add any other information on what works and doesn't if you have been able to verify.
So far I've verified a few things work on the T-Mobile Note 4.
XPosed Torch
YouTube AdAway
XPosed Torch
In Wanam XPosed I have verified the following working for me.
Hide SFinder bar
Hid Battery icon
Change/Hide Carrier Label
Enable 4 way reboot menu
Screenshot / Power menu
Fake System Status
Themes (make sure you turn each on that you use)
Disable Secure Storage
Raise SMS and MMS limit
Wanam XPosed Setting that are not Working (that I've tried).
Lockscreen Flashlight
Home button long press
Disable SEAndroid
I have actually removed XTether and gone with Wifi Tether Router, as it seems to be working smoother.
Here a Link for Wifi Tether Router:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
A lot of the theme color changes work, though i can't seem to get the handle to change color when selected (the bar when you pull the notifications open).
The following ones not previously mentioned works for me:
AudioPrivacy
DisableBatteryFullAlert
Network Speed
NotifyClean
Wanam Lockscreen ==> "Turn on screen when unplugged" does not seem to work properly.
"Hide WiFi notification" is not working
I've been playing with the Theme colors this morning and found the little 'ON' button hiding at the top right. I am working out which panel/icon/text is what exactly as it's a little overwhelming trying to do it all at once. I recommend only changing one or two at a time and then rebooting to see how the changes work for you.
Hi. Thanks for this thread. I was wondering if you could modify your OP to include what modules are not working as well and encourage others to verify. This might be useful for checking.
Am using CM11 on a LG Optimus e970. Tried to use hangout and lost mobile network tube killed connection and erased apn settings.

I've been gathering some information on what is and isn't working. I will update the post once I get a few more things confirmed.

[Q] Nexus 6 Hotspot Toggle/Trigger

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Have you tried - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc ?

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

Data Toggle

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.
