in order to enable built-in wifihotspots I changed the value of ro.mot.entitlement_check value in a .prop file from true to false
and thus this function works but here is the problem
no wifi tethering icon shown on the notification bar
though it doesn't matter I still feel flaw
BTW I know the method of adding apn to solve it
but my usim card seems blocking it so I cannot save any new apn

i have only 1 APN so its default already and i restarted the phone but nothing happened

USB or Bluetooth tethering might be functioned by some apps

Hey guys,
I work in an area where my 3g signal is really weak and cuts in and out. This really effects my battery quite a bit. However I have been using that # *#* number to get into the phone settings and change the setting to cdma only which seems to put my phone in 2g mode (is that true?)..and thn back to automatic to get 3g back. My question is is it possible for some of you to develop an app or a widget which could do this with a single click?
Thank you

Couldnt you do that with power widget plus? I do something similar since I'll in a bad area as well except I use it to reset my data connection so to speak.

Well I have extended controls installed all I can do with that is turn off data completely..from what I gather none of the power widgets support cdma devices when switching between 2 and 3 g

You don't want to go 1x. The data rate is pitiful at 153 Kbps max.
I just use Bettercut and make a data manager shortcut and just turn off manually the internet saves more battery than 1x connection

There is an app on the market, called Network which takes you to that menu with the push of a button. No need to enter in all those #*#*#*##* digits
Another way is to use AnyCut to set a shortcut to the field test menu where all of those settings are available.
Thanks

What is the full name of the app? There are multiple apps named "network"

Hey There,
I'm about to write an app for android 2.3 which should be able to disable the Mobile network.
I found a solution which works on 2.2, but it uses the permission "android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" which isn't available anymore on 2.3.
So is there another possibility to change this setting?
thx for answers and greez Visosilver
maybe this would help ?
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html
Hmmm, i tried
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />, but it always says that the MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission is missing...
I would like to know this aswell, for my Galaxy tab. I flashed overcome and didn't flash my T-Mobile modem and it says I'm not connected to any network in anyway but am still getting the cell standby eating battery. And even with airplane mode it still shows up.

Pitbull -- > Add this to the Tweak guide
To disable the GSM Radio -
Bring up your dialer program,
enter *#*#4636#*#*
Select Device Information,
Scroll to bottom
Tap the "Turn Off Radio"
This will disable all Cell / GSM / EDGE connections -- Should only be used for those who do not subscribe to a data / cell package.

thx for your responses, but the point is, that i must disable the connection programmatically...
Did you use ITelephony.setRadio(boolean turnOn)?
Did anybody else lose the "Mobile Data" toggle on the quick setting screen after the update to 4.3? I used that toggle a ton and I vaguely recall having an issue like this when I first picked up the phone on release. Don't remember how I got the toggle back. Tips or solutions?
I have airplane mode toggle still but not the one for just mobile data.
Yea I lost it to, I guess now using settings and uncheking data.

Link to show how to add WiFi toggle. I would imagine if you know what the toggle is called for mobile data you could just add it. Must be rooted.
I'll look on mine to see what the data toggle is called in that file, unless someone else chimes in.
Edit: should work if you add this as the link directs
MobileData
I did all that and added MobileData to the list, but it's still not working.

The Verizon method is not applicable to the sprint method.
Does anyone know a method to edit the settings/script without having to install an third-party app to bring back the mobile data toggle?

I'd even take a suggestion for a third-party app at this point. Not having that toggle is driving me crazy.
I use PieControl and set one of the shortcuts to Data Toggle. It's actually faster to toggle it on with Pie Control than the pull down & click way.
Has no one figured this out yet? I'm really surprised. It seems like this would've been one of the first fixes addressed for MJA...

There is a fix. Either a dev puts it or you did it yourself. Someone above posted a reference link on how to add wifi toggle. Its the same process in adding data toggle you just need to know the name of the toggle. Its all up there really.

I added ;MobileData to my list when I added ;WiFiHotspot and it works perfectly. The Semi Colon is required between each entry.
so after researching i found how to get tmobile wifi tethering to work on stock based rooted rom using sql editor and changing a value in com.android.providers.settings. but after reboot it reverts back to the original value. and makes me have to change the value on every boot.
anyone know how to make this value stick??

please let the rest of us know how you got this to work.
I tried messaging him about a week ago and no response

Seems like I found it! It's the tether_dun_required, changed from 1 to 0, under global. I could get the devices connected using the built-in hotspot but they didn't have access to the internet until I changed this. I rebooted my phone and the value changed back to 1.
Fellow xda members if you find a way around the T-Mobile upsell page please let us know. I got the upsell page in a week and a half after using about 46gb of tethering.

I applied the kitkat tether fix last night and everything was running great, I was browsing from my laptop, and because everything was working great so I was NOT using the user-switcher extention.
After downloading a 2mb file today, out of nowhere I got the t-mobile upsell page. I turned on agent switcher and it works now.
I was excited about not having to use agent switcher, but I guess I have to now? I was initially excited because I thought agent switcher was no longer necessary.
On the bright side, my pages will be loaded using less data so thats good.
So is this normal? For it to be working in desktop mode and just stop, forcing me to use the agent switcher. I was not sure if this was still necessary with all the fixes and such.
Thank you
Bump, just trying to figure out if I have to use agent switcher still or if there's a way around it

Install APN back up and restore and offline Sim. Then using a root explorer move those 2 apps to system/priv-app fix set permissions for both to 777 then reboot
Now delete your apns using APN backup. Disable the ICS check. Then using offline Sim have it right the new APN for your Sim. For the right when asked. The stock APN ,from what I've read, contains hidden files to aid in tether check. I have no problems with tether nor do I use an user agent switcher. Tether on LTE.
