Is there a way to turn on MU-MIMO for the GS5 or is it on automatically?

Hey,
having had the phone for a few days and realising it wont even last a day if ikeep 3G turned on i have decided to turn it off, as i would only use it for data
Is there a way i can have it automatically turn 3G on when connecting to the internet and then turn it off again when i close the browser?
I'm looking for a widget that will turn off my cell phone radio and operate my N1 as WiFi only. Is this possible? I'm traveling overseas and would like to selectively attach to the GSM network, but want to keep the phone on for Wifi.
You could do this with Tasker.. setup a task that turns both airplane mode and wifi on, and create a widget for the task.
Stock power control widget will do it. Turn on airplane mode then wifi.

It's definitely POSSIBLE. I would suggest just using a widget to turn off 3G, and leave wifi enabled. When I went over my data on my plan, I turned off 3G and it just stayed off for a week, no problems. I'm not really sure you would benefit from anything more complicated.
There are many widgets that will turn off 3G (i.e. data)

Great idea... I don't have Tasker, but do have Quick Profiles, so built myself a customer widget that turns on Airplane mode, but turns on Wifi... that's what I wanted to do.
I have an original Verizon Droid that has been out of service a long time. I'm recommissioning it as a music player for my wife to take to the gym. But when I fire it up, it still thinks it should be an active phone, and Verizon thinks so too; it connects to Verizon's network and is able to make calls.
Right now I have it on Airplane Mode to prevent this, but that disables wi-fi too, and I want it to have wi-fi. Is there a way to erase or reset whatever configuration the carrier gave it, so that it will not try to connect, or at least will not succeed? It's running Cyanogenmod 7, if that makes a difference.
Turn of wi-fi after you turned on Airplane Mode.

No, I want wi-fi ON, not off. I just don't want it connecting to a carrier.
1) Turn Airplane Mode ON (yes, I know this will turn Wi-Fi off)
2) Turn Wi-Fi ON (Wi-Fi will turn on while the mobile connection stays disabled)

I have two questions about the touchwiz lollipop, and how tasker interacts with it (or doesn't).
1. I used to have a profile that turned on "silent mode" during meetings scheduled on my calendar. There is no more silent mode, but we do have a "sound mode". Putting that on silent turns on "Do Not Disturb". No biggie except tasker doesn't seem to be able to turn it off. Does anyone have a working profile that will silent the phone, then make it noisy again?
2. The other thing I used tasker for was turning on tethering when I got in my car. Tethering looks WAY different now than it did before, and at&t seems to want to limit your control of how tethering is used (to the extent that you can't choose your essid or even your level of security). Anyone successfully access the tethering option outside of at&t's mess?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
Often on my galaxy A5 2016 rooted I see that a task is active but it doesn't really active the function on my phone...
For example: I've a task to turn wifi on when I'm at home (based on location). Often the task is active (is green on tasker) but wifi isn't turned really on! Why this??

On my s8 I've had to turn on reliable alarms for when screen is of as I noticed that some profiles like turning Bluetooth on weren't working when the screen was off. Maybe that could help turning this on in the settings?

Maybe... but can you explain me better what alarms I must turn on?

Go to preferences > monitor > Use reliable alarms. I have mine set for screen off
Location is not a reliable trigger (never was for me).
Try using variables. These are better.
For example.
I'm using 2 variables to CONFIRM I'm at home and trigger my home profile.
First... I use Cell near to verify the proximity and enable my WiFi. So my variable is set to "1".
Then... After my phone connects to my network I set another variable to "1".
When both variables are equal to "1" my home profile kicks in.
This way I do not rely on Location (and my power consumption is lower).

So the way tasker works is when a profile activates, the entry task runs, then when the profile deactivates the exit task runs.
If something interferes with the entry task, or if you have profiles that overlap (changing the same settings for instance) the profile will be active, but the desired actions may not be able to run.
However, when it comes to wifi on/off actions, you have to do a few things to ensure the actions can run.
1. Make sure you give yourself enough time to enable wifi before continuing.
Eg: 1. Turn on wifi
2. If connected to my home ssid do the following
This will never work because tasker enables the wifi and immediately goes to the next action, but you need at least 5 seconds (really 15) to connect, so it will never be connected when if statement is checked
2. Or say you want to disable wifi every time The wifi is disconnected from any ssid and whenever you're in range of your homer ssid another profile turns on wifi.
The following WILL NEVER WORK but will take a long time to realize the simplicity of why if not careful
If wifi=on and wifi is not connected
Disable wifi and do these things
The reason is the home profile will always enable wifi and for 15 seconds the disable WiFi profile will trigger because the wifi is on but not connected...so it'll disable WiFi.. which will... you get the idea.
P.s. if the profile is active then reliable alarms has nothing to do with why the actions didn't run. Tasker correctly activated the profile... something interfered elsewhere
