[REQ] 3G/4G radio manager

I've seen plenty of 3g/4g radio toggle widgets but none that do it automatically.
I 'm willing to pitch in towards someone willing to develop a 3g/4g radio manager for the TB. I'm sure I'm not alone.
I think it could be something as easy as an app that toggles the 4g radio on when the screen wakes up and toggles 3g on after x minutes of inactivity. The span of inactivity could be set in a menu option. All that would be required aside from that is a widget to toggle the radio manager on or off.

I would pitch in! Seems like it would save the battery.

Any updates on this??

fwiw I haven't seen anything to even suggest something like this is in development.

Have you guys looked into LTE on/off in the market?

It's a toggle, not a radio manager.

Tasker could sure be modded to do this

I emailed Tasker dev specifically and he said that the app can't handle 4G toggles right now. Take that for what it's worth :x

Yea it is what it is right now until a new source is released or leaked.
That's also why we only see toggle apps in market otherwise I'm sure there would of been an app created already.

The Verizon network has what's called eHPRD. That's supposed to switch it for you when your signal runs low. I personally don't get a good 4g signal so i switched to rev A along with CDMA prl. It works and I always have a data signal.

I would be happy for a widget on my home screen that I can press to toggle between 4G and 3G

In the market place there is an app called lte 3g/4g. It is just for the thunderbolt to do just what you have wanted. It's been there for a long time now.

It's not a widget, just a shortcut to network settings.

Disable LTE

i miss the quick access to disable my mobile data/LTE/4G connection on the S5. S4 had it right at the top. Best i can find is a widget called 'Data ON-OFF'. Couple other apps/widgets would turn it off, but not back on. i would have to go into the settings, more networks, mobile networks, and check the box by mobile data.
anyone know of a way to get this in the drop down menu in the top? On the S4 it was just a swipe and touch on the 'mobile data' button.

Not w/o root access. You can follow these steps though:

thanks. widget works pretty good, just have to exit the program instead of bringing down the drop down menu. its like AT&T wants you to use up your data plan

I always use *#*#4636#*#*

yes, follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721550
And it will add the disable/enable data to your notification panel and quick toggles. Some carriers have removed that quick toggle from the panel.
Note that this will just disable/reenable all data, if you need to specifically disable like LTE only and fall back to 4G, you will need a app like phone info from the app store.

But with our AT&T phones not able to root would we be able to do that? In the tutorial it mentions needing root. Thats why I am asking

Yeah, I forgot that you are all locked sown on AT&T variants. You'll need to wait for a root method and then this will work.

[Q] tasker WiFi tether control

I'm trying to enable WiFi tether with tasker for arunchained. I have the secure settings app and it doesn't toggle WiFi tether. It comes up as an error when running the task. Anyone have any luck with this?

Same issue here and have seen it on several other threads..... have not seen a solution to this yet. I've used Tasker and Trigger in the past with no problems, but can't get either to turn Hotspot on/off.

Strange...
I just tried with both the built in Tasker toggle and Secure Settings and both times Wi-Fi Hotspot turned on without a problem.
What's the error?

Are you running stock? What gives I have to use a convoluted autoinput task to do this. Secure settings doesn't work at all on 5.1.1 for me.

I'm running stock and always have, prefer vanilla Android.
As to Secure Settings not working on 5.1.1, I wouldn't know since I haven't used it in some time. Last time probably was just prior to posting in this thread (almost 4 months ago).
Sorry, no help here...

I found a wrokaround that allows you to still tether automatically with Tasker. I posted my results here in the Tasker Groups page. More or less you simulate screen taps to use the standard phone quick setting in the notification pulldown window. Send a PM or hit me up on Hangouts if you need any help figuring it out.

Thanks @andrewjt19 I'll have to give this a go later! I actually found an app that will toggle Wi-Fi tether automatically, but it is paid. I wonder what method the app uses to do it, I never checked on a debugger and I'm not even sure I would know what I am looking at. It is a shame to have to pay for something that should be such a simple procedure.
The app is called toggle WiFi hotspot 5.0 by Erwin Goslawski.

I found this widget and bought it too. It works well. I guess I'm glad I found an alternative methods of this stops working at some point. The only downside to my method is that the screen must be on and off the user is interacting with the device when the script runs, it could interfere this not activating the intended purpose. But overall it's simple and efficient. Thanks for sharing this widget though.
taPpeD fROM my nExUs 6

I had been having this problem on my 5x and just found a solution with xposed. I installed the xposed module 'x tether' which says it enables tethering for the moto x phones and afterwards tasker is able to enable / disable the wifi hotspot. This is the first thread that came up on google when I searched for this problem so I thought I would post here in case someone else encounters the same problem.

Missing data toggle

Didnt see anybody make a post about this so I figure I would post a new thread. Is anybody missing the data toggle button? I know Samsung is natorious are not putting them in but I believe in some of the other note 7 forums people have the data toggle in the quick panel.

The toggle is hidden, but you'll need Nova launcher or App Shortcut Maker. Here's the thread on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-note-7/help/q-volte-settings-t3443296
And here's the detailed instructions from the thread above:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68308726&postcount=20
I don't know why you'd need to toggle mobile data, though, as that's what airplane mode is for.

Except airplane mode effectively disables all signal transmissions. Wifi Bluetooth and gps included.

Talking about that data toggle. its more convenient to just swipe down and press the button vs going to settings connections then data.

Ya I noticed earlier today that the mobile toggle wasn't available as a quick toggle. Unfortunately without root, I doubt you can add it in. I remember adding it on my note 4.. I cant remember the exact way I added it back it because it's been so long. All you do is add the " ;mobile data " to where all the another toggles were listed.

Is VOLTE/SMS working with mobile data off? Because that maybe a reason to restrict mobile data in some other ways. I think my phone is factory set not to update unless on wifi and even if I go to play store myself, when on LTE, it will give me warning about large file download over cell network, which I would have to override, to actually start the download. Other traffic is miniscule, couple Kb here and there, but it is interesting that programs I haven't used for days still access network. Another reason to keep asking Google to make forcestop apps easier? The left button to close all apps is a step in right direction, but I'm not sure what it does (just makes you feel better?), because apps still running in the background and can be killed. Maybe word "closing" has a different meaning at Google, that I'm used to.

note 9 data dropping

My data need to be turned on and off after every time I unlock the phone. I've tried all the usual things reset network settings etc. In safe mode there was no change. I wanted to try a modified apn but sprint has them locked down. Anyone having this issue?

I don't expect any third-party app to be able to control mobile data without Secure Settings on Pie. Please try following:
1) Try removing Mobile Data Quick Tile from Notification Panel and try to replicate the problem.
2) Revoke Secure Settings by following this. Make sure to replace grant with revoke.

Seems to have stopped after removing the tile. Is that a known issue?

I have experienced apps that control Wifi or Mobile data (via Quick Tiles) sometimes behave absurd. I have even seen Mobile data working (with icon) while the quick tile is disabled. However, I have not imagined that this could be a problem with someone else.
Glad that this worked. I think this needs to a discussed issue over XDA!

It's still happening I guess it was just a coincidence. I can't seem to figure it out.

Just figured I'd update in case anyone runs into this. I did a full setting reset earlier today and so far I haven't had any issues. I'll see if I discover the root cause while I get it set the way I had it.

Glad that it's fine now. Just keep memorizing your last few changes so that in case it happens again, you can relate.
