Of course I didn't bother to give you credit. I have never even seen your post until you linked it. Why would I give credit to you if you had absolutely nothing to do with my post?
That's like saying anyone that starts a fire with two sticks should give credit to Cody Lundin because he's used the same method to achieve the end result.
This is pretty much the same method for a bunch of different LG phones that don't allow easy editing of APN settings without root, and I'm pretty certain if you mess around long enough there's ways to do it with Non-LG phones but I've been using this method since the LG Marquee in 2011. I could even post the really long way of using CDMA workshop, but this way is faster.
FYI you can do USB or BT Tether completely stock and nothing on your plan.
Mine is ZVA and IOT QuickShortcutMaker's shortcut does not work. It just says "Application is not installed".
Any suggestion?

The consensus seems to be that you need to downgrade your phone back to ZV6, then use the shortcut maker technique while in ZV6. Then you upgrade to ZV9 and access your running apps where you'll find the shortcut maker still present from running it earlier under ZV6. Pin that window in ZV9. Then upgrade to ZVA. The shortcut maker should still be present in your previous apps, pinned. So, in ZVA, you can access that pinned page to perform the edit to add ,dun and get wifi. I haven't done this, but there is another thread on this site outlining all the steps/tools you use to perform the downgrade (I think it's LGUP and LG flash or something).

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but are there any shortcuts to enable/disable wifi on the Raphael? I picked up the AT&T Fuze earlier this week and I love it, but I use the wifi fairly often and it is rather tedious to have to go to Settings > Communications > Wi-Fi (from TouchFlo) every time I want to either enable or disable it. Thanks in advance.
I use AEWifitrigger and it works great. Check my signature out for the download.
You could also disable PTT, and then set the PTT button to pop up the CommManager (now pseudo-renamed as Wireless Manager) as a quick way to enable/disable everything.
My XIAMultitheme theme - SaFF has BT and WiFi icons that can be used to start/stop bt or wifi and also show the state.
It is currently a clock plugin (Time - links to alarms, date - links to calendar, email/sms/voicemail/missed calls counters/buttons, BT and WiFi) Feel free to rip my code if all you want is the BT/WiFi buttons in a today plugin.
There are also more states than I have supplied icons for. See the images\common\wifi folder, it has a number of PNGs in it, each one represents a state code (eg 5.png is what shows if the wifi reg key says state 5), so if you find that the icon does not change when you connect to something for example, if we find what state code that is (Which is easy, just add another tag to the XML file to tell it to print the number), we can add a new icon easily.
I am in the process of doing a new VGA version for the raphael - all that needs changing is coordinates doubling in the XML file and double size images need to be supplied.
It currently requires mortscript if you want to hear a sound when you click a button, if you don't require that, all you need is XIAMultiTheme.
One thing I miss from my Nexus (running KitKat) is the power control widget that, among other features, was able to toggle the location setting without having to actually go to the setting page and select one of the three. The location symbol would toggle between fully highlighted (GPS on) half-highlighted (battery saving) or not highlighted (location off). Same with NFC -- you could turn it on or off without having to go to the relevant settings page. Is there such a widget for the Z3c, or does it have to be rooted to be able to bypass the settings page? I currently use the Power Toggles app, but its NFC and location toggles (and other controls) simply open a settings page instead of actually toggling anything.

Thanks to Google it has to be rooted to bypass the settings page. I have tested Power Toggles on a rooted Z2 and it works flawless.
I'm only waiting for Android L to make things worse over here...
This little drop-down toggle menu saves a few taps for routine WiFi connection and also adds the utility of the WiFi Settings app without actually having it installed.
The first option (see screenshot below) is a simple toggle that bypasses the stock Quick Settings dialog for WiFi. If WiFi is off, it turns it on. If it's on, it turns it off. No questions asked.
The second option is for those times when you are away from a known WiFi network (Library, Coffee Shop, etc.) and will need to select a network and enter a password. Selecting this option turns on the WiFi radio and takes you directly to the Settings page for WiFi where you can choose a network and sign in. To disconnect you can use the first option.
The best use of this app is to use NookTouch ModManager to assign this app to "clock", which is where the stock WiFi dialog hides. You'll find "clock" at the very end of the list of buttons that can be reassigned with NTTM. If you tap the clock area accidentally, you can dismiss the menu by tapping there again.
Requirements
--As this is a Tasker-generated app (but does not require Tasker to run!) there is a dependency on two library files normally installed with GApps. If you do not have GApps installed on your device, you can still use this app by copying the two attached files into the locations shown below:
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install. If you already have one of my other Tasker-generated apps, you can skip this.
To install:
Download and unzip the file attached below. If you don't need the maps library files, discard them. Otherwise treat as above. Copy the app to your SD card and install or install via ADB from your PC.
Enjoy!
In android 10,a new feature called as TURN ALL SENSORS OFF is available in developer settings. It also has a qs tile.
Is there a way to automatically enable this feature upon screen off and then disable upon screen on?
The obvious answer is absolutely yes using AutoInput to emulate the touches. That can also be done with more effort using just built in Tasker actions.
However, it's possible (likely?) That there is a secure setting that controls this action. You can sort that out by comparing the secure settings before and after toggling the tile. The AutoTools secure settings action has an assistant that may help you sort this out.

1) In android 10,there is an option to disable all sensors in developer options. So i turned it on last night, and battery drain was less than 2 % in 4 hrs, compared to 1% per hour usually, with volte and 4g data on. I would get more accurate stats later on.
There's a qs tile available to activate it.
What I want to ask is, is there a way to automatically enable it every time the screen goes off, and then disable it when screen goes on, without any user input?Either as a shortcut or as a qs tile.
2) I am afraid i don't have enough knowledge to exactly understand the steps you are telling. Do you know of a pre made recipe to execute this. I tried to search but in vain. Or if you are on android 10,maybe you can try doing what i need.
Thank you.
There are loads of tutorials available to use the AutoInput plugin.
As far as issuing the native tasker custom setting action;
Create a new task
Add a Settings -> Custom Setting action
A developer settings action is probably a global setting but you may have to explore
When you are in the configuration for the Custom Setting action, use the magnifying glass and Find to identify the setting you want. A pop-up will appear directing you to ok out of the instructions then go to the setting you want to manage, activate the setting and return to Tasker. Then hit the magnifying glass again and if the setting was identified, it will display in the pop-up where you can select it.
No offence, even if I were on A10, this can be done with a basic understanding of Tasker so I wouldn't create a project for it. If you are still unsure what to do, please take the time to work through some basic tasker tutorials to gain familiarity with the app.

I just moved new from huawei to samsung. and on huawei they always had a shortcut to switch directly to 4G only. also when long pressing on the mobile data in quickpanel it took you directly to the setting page where you can change the network mode.
On samsung software i cant seem to find any shortcut to this except to go to settings > connections > mobile networks > network mode and change from there. I dont want to keep it at automatic because sometimes i am in poor reception areas and already have wifi so i need to force it to 2g only which has better reception. (to reduce battery drain)

Just use Bixby routines and create a condition or a button to trigger the change to your preferred network mode.

seems so. and besides it still requires you to go to the application and click the button. so i can instead click on settings and then connections and then im on the same screen. on huawei it was just 1 click to be on that screen

I have set up a bixby routine to switch network modes, and you can put a button on your homepage.
Settings > Advanced Features > Bixby Routines
If Start Button Tapped
Then Network mode (select what you want)
You can also make it revert when you unclick the button
Then on the home page, long press, add widget, add a bixby routine button, select the routine you just made

Sure. In the "if" condition choose "start button" then choose the action to switch to the preferred network mode. After that you can set a home screen button for the routine.

Thanks guys, ok I have managed to create the scenario but I was under the impression that this button can be put in the quick toggles but I cannot find it. Where do you find the button?
I can only see it as a widget. (I am using nova launcher if it matters)
Thanks again

I have found from the galaxy store the app called widget edge that would allow you to add widgets to the edge feature.
For now this solves my problem in a way. If you think of other solutions please let me know.
