I just had to hit it, and now i have a stupid symbol next to my signal bar. its a "H" whit 2 arrows below it, one pointing down and one pointing up. Think its from tethering since it showed up afther i hit that.
But how can i get rid of that symbol?
That symbols means you are using the 3G network (or 3.5G, whatever it is). I guess it's using it constantly now that you have enabled tethering. To disable tethering, hit that tethering icon again and disable it in there.
Wel, when I hit start tethering I get a msg that I am unable to start tethering, please try again later,
I never started tethering since I got a root msg of some kind and had to give access to some files
The symbol is there only when WiFi is off or Bluetooth is on. Gps is always off
If you are afraid the tethering messed up the network connection (keeping it always on), how about restarting your phone.
To remove the icon/app, use these commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm com.android.tether.apk
Or you may choose to rename it:
Code:
mv com.android.tether.apk com.android.tether.apk.bak
Thanks, wil try that when I come home, typeing whit my magic now. And can't do this witout a computer right? Can I remove this app from my phone?

Guess not. You can try under Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications
Thanks alot, problem solved
the stupid symbol is back...
Cant use tethering whit wifi on, gps on or anything off/on. Only way to get it to go away is to turn APNdriod.

I was wondering how to turn off the slide control on TouchFlo so that the phone stays "open" after it hibernates.
Also, whenever I want to connect to WiFi at home, it asks for the password... how can I save the encryption key inside the phone?
Thanks!
Ok I figured out the 2 questions and came up with 1 more. I clicked around the phone and clicking on iLock turns off the slider. And the encryption key seems to be saved now.
When I go to IE, however, it will try to connect through GPRS, even though I don't have it. How can I delete GPRS from the phone (will never use it) or disable it and make it use WiFi first?
Thanks!
Do a search, there are threads on disabling GPRS. You need to manually start wifi. IE will then use wifi even if GPRS is configured.

Comm manager shows Wifi on. Settings->WiFi shows connected. The WiFi icon is alive and kicking at the top of the screen. And it still goes only for GPRS
Can you verify that wifi is actually working by getting out vis some other application (like email)? What specific device do you have (8125, Qtek, etc.)?
Is there anyway to do this....Some times I turn on my PPC and need to access something and out of no where, the promp comes up and there really is no easy way of cancelling it.....I know I know....why not shut off the Wi-Fi, i rather not go back and forth and back and forth......kinda think about it......We need a new Connection Manager.
Edit.
On what?
On my droid x you can turn off the notification in wireless settings.
In the WiFi section of your phone, click menu, then advanced.
I have disabled the connection before, but now i can change the password, delete anything and whatnot and the fone will still FORCE connect itself to the data connection, which is gonna cost me big $$. This only happens once I open up opera/pie/google maps though.
right now my connection is basically:
Name:blahhhh
number:#97f399gg
username:sefse
password:hhhhh
domain*:xxxxxdaaa
i have tried everything, even completly deleting all the accounts.
what seems to happen is that the password goes for 5 digits to 16 somehow.
idk if that is back to what it is supposed to be with the #777 connection.
Using 3.0.1 custom DCD Rom, with opera, n some other bs programs
Anyhelp on how to stop this is appreciated

Google Maps and other apps that require data will automatically start a data connection if you initiate them.
If you turn on WiFi this should stop it because you are using another way of connecting.
Do you use your data plan from your carrier? If not you can always go to the EPST settings and disable EVDO and just use 1X. This will kill all data and just let you use the CDMA settings.
Okkkkk
I was able to attempt to activate them before and would just get an error, expectially with PIE, but now idk.
No i do not have the data plan, and im about 2-3MB into data which sucks. Im supposed to have a data block but i guess not.
To kill the EVDO settings, what would that be under?
( making the data parameters section blank did not work)
Also if i do this will i still be able to connect to Rev-A and whatnot?
[obv not do EVDO or able to send mms, but those two i can live without]

You dont neccessaraly kill EVDO all you are doing is only letting your phone see a CDMA signal. Like for making calls and such. This will iliminate EVDO / REV A , but it is simple to go back. Plus i learned that it gave me way better coverage signal, but with no ability to use data.
Completely disable 3g data connections forever, save wifi
This is my first contribution to xda-forums! I'm glad I can help at all when I've benefitted so much... Thanks to all!
NOTE: After the following steps, Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably will want to use Nodata, and NOT the following solution. You just might have to open Nodata and disable the data connection every time you soft-reset.
I was finally able to completely 100% block the 3g data connection on my Verizon XV6800 (aka Mogul aka Titan) was the following three steps:
1. The key culprit is HTC_CM_Guardian.exe in the windows directory. I couldn't edit it or delete it via Total Commander file explorer, but I was able to rename it! This makes the OS unable to find the program when it tries to re-set the Data connection settings.
2. Under Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > "Select which networks are automatically used," hit "Select Networks."
3. Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" hit "New...".
4. Enter any name you want (mine's "nodata!") and leave all the other settings blank.
5. To be safe, you may have to delete the Verizon Or "Internet" Connection on the Tasks Tab of Settings > Connections > Connections. Save and exit.
Voila! Wifi, yes; 3g, no! No more nasty billing surprises.
Modaco's Nodata program is awesome, but the problem was that HTC_CM_Guardian.exe re-enabled the data connection every time I reset the phone. Plus, HTC_CM_Guardian.exe would also thwart any effort to block data via the "Connection Settings." By renaming HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and creating a "nodata!" connection that programs auto-connecting to the internet would try to use (and fail), we get three results:
1. Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably won't to use this solution.
2. When you reboot, the OS is unable to mess-up your "Connection Settings", so
3. Unless you have an active wifi connection, programs will try to connect to the Internet using the "nodata!" settings, which, being empty, will fail, exactly as planned.
Hope it helps.
Hi,
Can you tell me where to find the guardian.exe file. I cant locate it any where is it hidden perhaps. I need to disable wifi for this phone. The property that I have does not have wifi currently. So the Wifi feature drains the battery. Thank you very very much if you can provide the information.

I just use the slider switch on the side of the phone to enable/disable wifi. I use RyanMogul's ROM and it works like a charm.
I like nueWiFiSwitch - Hardware Switch (it's in Ryan's ROM I'm using) Disable the wifi switch and whenever I want to use it, I turn it on with Communication Manager.
(the hardware switch would turn on random times when putting in or out of my pocket, etc. Works great!
hi i installed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418859
but when i try to connect to my wifi it doesnt connect, when i go into connection settings for the wifi it comes up with a list of available networks but when i try to connect to any of them they then become unavailable any ideas?
someone must know what to do lol please
Have you tried soft-reseting your device? Every now and then the WiFi drivers dont initialize on the Wizard, and ya gotta soft-reset it to get em to work.
it works when i reset the device but once it goes into standby mode and comes back on it wont connect
i had the same problem when i flashed the nbd x rom, wifi shows on the list under command manager, but not when you go to settings > connections. when you click it the "busy" symbol comes up and wifi never turns on. i tried restarting, and even reflashing the rom numerous times, still no luck. anyway i found this just messing around with it.
click wifi and when the "busy" symbol comes up quickly hold the shut down button, and let the device turn off.
wait maybe 5-10 minutes turn it back on and when you do wifi should be on already. if not click it under command manager. (to see if you have wifi enabled go to settings > connections and "Wi-Fi" should show along the list. if it doesn't work try it again, but wait maybe longer like 25-30 minutes. this always works for me. if you can try not to turn off your device because wifi goes away and you'll have to do the whole process again.
hope this helps.
*haha nevermind you have a different problem. sorry
Hi!
I've update my I9505 to Stock 4.3, with root. I've a problem. I use semi-protected WiFI (like at University) that works as follows : the network is technically open to everyone, free, but for navigate\download\anything, you need to open your browser and enter your credentials.
Android 4.2.2 on my I9505 connected automatically to this network, so I opened a browser and put my credentials.
Since I upgraded to 4.3, my phone connects to the network, then disconnects after a few seconds saying that you must authenticate yourself, then I have to enter settings (making it pointless to activate the wifi with the toggle in the notification bar), i've to reconnect to the network manually, wait about 10 \ 15 seconds, then I can open the stock browser and connect from there (I have to connect when it says so). This even though I do not use the toggle, when I activate the wifi in the settings, it connects, disconnects, and I have to reconnect again.
Now, every time I connect I lose a minute when in fact it took a few seconds before, there is no way to return to the previous behavior? Even with root solution. To read an e-mail I have to wait a minute for the connection...
thanks
Edit: sorry, maybe I had to put this thread on Q&A section, but now I can't move...

Yeah I hate it, the same thing happens on the London Underground wifi. It used to just connect then have the notification telling you you had to log in, which you could then click on. What makes it extra doubly annoying, is that the Underground wifi actually does work for everything apart from HTTP traffic before signing in, so you could just not sign in the whole journey and still get email/whatsapp, but not webpages or facebook etc. Now that it disconnects you I don't get anything till I manually connect it.

To get back to the old behaviour go into Settings->Connections->Wifi - > MENU button ->Advanced and disable "auto network switch"
I found I had to do this to get such networks to work ok, otherwise the wifi network was deactivated

ya that was the first thing I checked, it was already off.
I am also facing this problem. Till now no solution. The "Auto Network Switch" seems to be valid for Mobile Data only...
