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.

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.
Hi all
I am owning the device almost a month, as i am x mate 7 user the only thing Iam missing is the battery life, the rest are ok.
Also i have some bugs i wanted to report may huawei listen!
BUGS :
1. Losing the contacts names in whatsapp some time.
2. Connectivity or paring with bluetooth devices such as head set,car audio and android watch sometime disconnected without notice!
3. Accessibility access services turned off for the application need that access such as Notify, sound profile and Pushbullet.
Please shear your experience also if you have above bugs to confirm or you have any solution.
Thanks

For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.
Thanks so so much. I try this out
You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

I've tried all of the above and still was missing viber notifications. Then I disabled Phone Manager and this sorted out the problem completely.

Wouldn't you need to root the phone and then use an app like TitaniamBackup to disable it?

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.
Please see this thread by a recognized developer i met over on the LG V20 side of things,
Went ahead and tested it against the note 8 without root, you do have to send 3 strings ( Now just 1 set! )of commands via ADB to get it working but this is a one time thing.
This is practically the UITuner android builds into their software and the OEMs seem to kill it for whatever reason. Go to to his thread to check it out and show him some love and thanks. The app is available for free in the google play-store as well.
Practically can be done by a toddler as long as you follow the steps the app asks you to do! Very Simple and super useful!

Have you found anything this cannot do yet? Meaning, from the screenshots on the Play Store, it says some status bar icons cannot be disabled by Samsung phones, have you found that to be true on the Note8 yet? I have the phone but I haven't installed this yet, was looking for a solid solution to removing the useless NFC icon that Samsung always displays, as well as a way to change the awful Bluetooth icon to the AOSP (or as similar as possible) version.
Thanks!
I'm with you man... I hate having the alarm icon on all the time. I know, I know... I ALWAYS have an alarm set!
My note8 doesn't show NFC icon or alarm icon. I use timely so maybe that's why it does show up when I have pending alarms coming up or snoozed iirc. Sprint n8 if that matters

I hate it too. I understand when you get that msg with headphones but why I get it with my damn car BT! There was an article at xda that you can turn it off with AutoTools and some ADB commands, but that is not working with Samsung devices at least for me with S7E atm. I manage to fix it with Tasker and AutoInput.

Mine cannot hide carrier id, both standard and auto-detect mode it's N950N.
Thanks Zachari! This app got me to get rid of the annoying heads up. But I think something went wrong with the display settings. The screen does not go off by itself. I mean the time out does not work.
Can anyone help?
By the way m using Galaxy S8 Plus.
This is a great app for the note8. Nfc, alarm icons gone. The screen rotation icon will show up so had to turn that off too. Bummer that the volume warning does not work. Can also adjust the number of quicksetting columns. Donated to the developer.

I must be retarted, but I can't get the ADB to work with Windows 10 Powershell. Anyone care to help?
I uninstalled the App and now my Notification pulldown icons are all black. Even after applying the default theme for the Note8 the icons are all white and still can't see them. How do you get the icons colors to show back up properly? I booted into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe hoping how would fix it and no dice. Any help is appreciated.
Used it with the S8+ and the Note 8 to get rid of the battery icon. On the T-Mobile G1 ADB was the only way to get anything done, even a screenshot.
It's a great app I use it for my toggles and hiding my battery symbol and the immersive mode, can't wait for the volume warning to work on the Note 8 though

I was able to get the status bar icons to show back up by installing the app again and using adb on my desktop, but the question remains how do you completely uninstall this app and go back to stock settings? Is the only way to do a factory reset?

Allow unlimited data access, whitelist from battery saving, and allow to run in background.
Allow the app to ignore battery optimization too

I've tried all the suggestions here and still have trouble. I'd leave my phone for an hour or so, turn the screen on and a whole bunch of notifications come pouring in from WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger etc.
My settings are:
1. Apps -> Apps -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation -> Not Optimised (for all my email and messaging apps)
2. Battery -> App Launch -> Manage Manually (for all my email and messaging apps)
3. Wireless & Networks -> Data Usage -> Data Saver -> Off
Is there anything else I need to do? This is a serious problem for me and quite frankly, I need to get a new phone if this keeps happening.

Thanks for your reply. I've already done that actually. If you don't touch your phone for say an hour, are you sure the notifications are coming in when it's sleeping and not just when you turn your screen back on?

Thanks for your help, I've discovered the issue now. I don't remember if someone mentioned this earlier and I'm not sure how I missed it, but the issue wasn't the apps closing when the phone went to sleep (since I did everything to make sure they didn't close), the problem was that the phone would switch off LTE and/or Wifi when the screen is off. The setting that controls this is in: Settings - Battery - More Battery Settings - Stay connected when device sleeps. Make sure this is turned on (it was turned off for me before).
I feel almost certain this was turned on in the past and feel it was only turned off in one of the firmware updates. I most certainly would never have turned that off. I can't believe they would use that as a default option since I can imagine only the most battery conscious users would want that off. They should at least have an option where the phone would automatically turn data back on periodically to check for notifications. I know there are third-party apps that do this but if they're going to include an option like that built-in, they should do it properly.
Anyway, problem solved, hope this helped someone else out there.
I have the same issue, but Stay Connected is on, and has been for as long as I've had the problem (2-3 days). No new apps, no new updates, affects all my apps. Driving me nuts. Anything else than doing a full wipe left to try?
same here, till yesterday everything was working fine, i didn't install a new app, configuration of battery settings, data background running is the same, also app locked in recent to run backround as before. update i did before 3 weeks. very strange
I'm very sure this problem occur since the newer software update, my device have same issue.
You can check how to remove PowerGenie (the huawei stock battery management), removing PowerGenie 'might' help you fix it.
I called Huawei and asked, and got a fix! It's not a huge lump of fun, but this is it:
Settings - System - Reset - Reset all settings
Note: all your stuff is still there after reset. Only thing that happens is that it forgets your wlans, your fingerprints, face recognition, lock screen pass/pattern, and all kinds of logins and permissions on your apps. And your apps will jump out of folders and make a hell of a mess. But it worked splendidly for me, notifications are popping up as they should, when they should. Gave me a nice chance to re-arrange my apps even.
Happy thoughts to Huawei (Norway) for having customer service available on the phone, on a regular number, and answering within a few seconds.

I just did it today and it was a complete lost of time. In addition of losing all settings (bluetooth, Wifi, applications and folder on launcher,...) it was not helping with notifications: no Outlook, no WhatApps, no banking app... In other word, nothing, it was worse than before.
I will continue to test settings like controlling launching applications and exclude applications from battery optimization.

Is it just push notifications you're not getting or are messages not coming through at all until device unlocked/app opened? I've been trying all sorts, searched "data" in settings and stumbled upon "unrestricted data access" all apps are disabled on this. Hoping next few hours will show that's me sorted finally.
