Hi guys, I just got a Fascinate, and I was wondering if there's any way to disable EVDO data? I'm trying to see if I can save a little money by using the $15 150MB data plan and just using wifi all the time, but I can't find any options or apps to disable data for CDMA. I'm fine with rooting or installing custom ROMs if that's what it takes. Thanks!

For the Fascinate, the code is *#4636#1111#
You need to have the hidden menus enabled of course...
Juice Defender will do it, there's a toggle widget too

I've been hoping around from rom to rom and I can't seem to find a standanole one
I wonder if someone can make the stock toggle widget work for WiFi tether app.
There's one in the market i forgot the name of it. Its meant for aosp roms though.
Still 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
You can use Switch Pro from the market. It's a pay app, but It's pretty nice, well worth it imo. It's got a toggle for EVERYTHING !
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
Also, if you all ready have Tasker, you could easily build one however you like. Love the power of Tasker.

Without hijacking, I'm looking for a a Toggle for Wireless Tether - Found here
Can anyone suggest one?
I prefer extended controls has everything and customization is great plus it has 4g toggle and you can also put what size you want the widget but it costs 1 something witch is not much at all

If you apply Calkulin's tether hack you can use the native hotspot app and its associated widget.

is it possible to apply his modification without having to use his whole rom?

Yes, there is flashable zip with just the tethering fix. I can't link it now, but check his Sig and you should be able to find it.

You have to be on a deodexed rom.
Extended Controls if you want a whole power bar with customizations of every toggle. Beautiful Widgets has a standalone wifi toggle, and Wifi Manager has a widget that lets you toggle wifi and view your IP/network/signal strength.
On the Nook in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888216
user xboxexpert managed to unload the phone tools on the nook and stop the nook from searching for a cell network. Since a few of us are off contract, I'd love to be able to do the same on my Tab. So I tried the same, renaming the files. It didn't work. The Tab ended up in an infinite loop of trying to restart the phone when phone.apk no longer existed. I didn't dare try restarting after renaming it when it was all I could do to get the Tab stable again without infinite app crashes slowing it down.
I like to use a bluetooth keyboard at work and airplane mode disables bluetooth, so no deal there. So does anyone have an idea on how we can disable the wireless network without being in Airplane mode?
I have the same question.... I want to use my tab Wifi only... anyone find a solution?
You can switch WiFi ob when in airplane mode.
Regards,
Dave
is there a permanent solution for it?
You can go into Phone Info via *#*#4636#*#* (or create an Anycut shortcut to Phone Info, under Activites) and switch the radio off there at the bottom of the page.

I suppose if I really want to do this then I need to get the dialer working? It seems kind of roundabout, I'm trying to disable the mobile network and phone options, but in order to do that I need to make it more like a phone first? I say that because I tried Anycut and under Activities there was no "Phone Info" activity. Thanks for the thought Hairy.
This is on a stock rooted T-mobile Tab, that I'm not planning to flash just yet. Maybe when Cyanogen is in a later beta. I'm just not that deep into hacking my devices, and while I appreciate people that do I just have other priorities.

Must be a ROM issue as I'm on JM6 and the Phone Info option is there on Anycut. I went through this myself for the same reasons, so good luck

i am also in perma-airplane at home and just having wifi or bluetooth enabled.
works perfectly

Rather presumptuous of you to assume that? You can use Bluetooth too (at least on the ROMs I've used)

Hi guys,
I'm running a very stable Android build at the moment:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
and everything seems to be working almost flawlessly. I think the last thing I'm really looking for is something like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478519
It was the first app I always installed when updating my Windows 6.5 roms and basically what it allowed you to do was set parameters for when your data (3G connection) would remain active i.e you could set it to turn off 3G when the screen turned off or set it to only turn on 3G when apps were syncing etc.... Is there anything similar on Android? All I seem to find are apps that allow you to turn 3G on or off manually. Is there anything that can automate the process like WMLonglife did?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

APNdroid. Sense ROMs should have a toggle built in for you to turn on/off the data.
If your rom is based on CM7, you should use the power widget thats in there.

No Sense for me though. I only use native Android roms. Sense was great for WinMo but I've always liked the Android only experience. Thanks for the tip though.

Hi,
Thanks but, as I said in my OP, I was wondering if there is an app that will do it automatically when needed rather than you having to click data on/off every time you want to disconnect. I beleive UltimateJuice does something like this but I don't beleive it is compatible with Gingerbread yet. Any other ideas anyone?
Thanks
maybe timeout 3g? it disables 3g when screen is off. you can manually set time after 3g is disabled.
If you don't have Gingerbread, try DCSwitch app...
I think it's better than APNDroid.

Thanks, I use JuiceDefender already but it's not fully compatible with Gingerbread yet and can't control data (the paid for version). I'll check out Green Power though.
Nice one
Is there a way I can get the verizion data widget in any custom roms? It's the only reason why I wont flash any, I need the widget.
You can download the My Verizon app from Google Play, but it may not work on non stock based ROMs like Cyanogenmod.
Here is a 3rd party app that lets you login to your Verizon account and then has its own widgets that look the same as Verizons.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hoeksoft.minute.widget.verizon
if all you are looking for is something to tell u how much data u have used there are way better aps and they tell you in pretty much real time unlike the verizon app which u need to hit the refresh button
I can confirm that the My Verizon app works on Carbon

It is a widget . Create one on Xperia launcher, for example, by a long press on any homepage to get to customize/widgets.
Once myverizon is installed.

works for me - but I think VZW doesn't allow it to automatically update (you have to keep pressing the refresh button) due to the change in pricing structure with the share everything plan (even if you don't have that plan).
what helps for me is getting the text/e-mail alerts when my data reaches a certain threshold (50%, 75%, 90%).
also, your phone can track that in the settings.

I forgot about the data tracking in the settings! Thanks, I'll just set a limit where my data will turn off when I use a certain amount. Thanks for the help.
Hi,
I used to use an app for that on my S6 but seems it does not work on my S8 Oreo.
If someone has an idea...
Thanks !
Use data saver?
If you want data off with the screen off you will receive no internet app notifications with the built in data saver.
I have to open the apps manually to see updates.
You can also allow certain apps to bypass the data saver.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.
If your data saver was on it'd stop any processes even system from connecting to data services in the background.
If it didn't that would be shady.
I have noticed however going from AOSP Lineage 14.1 to S EX 8.0.0 it absolutely munches my data...
Until I rooted and removed all bloatware and some system apps that were just questionable...
One day the AOSP lords will come together and make the S8/+ owners cream themselves with that stock android goodness.
One day...
When all our screens have permanent burn-ins??
