[Q] VZ Hotspot Widget - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there one? I replaced hotspot.apk as shown in this thread but I have to hit menu > settings > tethering & netowrks > hotspot to turn it on/off. I've defrosted all the stuff I froze and switched back to stock launcher from Nova to see if that would show a widget but no.
Side note: I'd ask my question there but my post count is too low to post in a development thread.

You need to rename the second file to XXXX.old too. there are 2 files to deal with and it does work.

I got that and it is working. Perhaps my OP was not clear but I was asking if there is a widget for the hotspot rather than going into settings to turn it on. I thought I might have accidentally frozen or messed it up if there is one because I didn't find a widget.

[Q] Weird Problem

I rooted my M and installed the original leaked JB from Moto the day it was available. Today I installed Safestrap 3.07 and created a backup of my current image. Done deal, works fine.
The weird problem is that my launcher doesn't stay active any longer. I use Smart Launcher Pro and have been for a while. Once I rebooted, created a backup with SS, then the default launcher came up and I can't change it.
Any ideas? Silly issue, but if I'm doing something incorrect, I need to know so I don't keep either making the same mistake or become increasingly frustrated trying to work it out.
Thanks folks.
Figured it out. Undefaulted the home screen in Apps cache and made super launcher default.

Can you tell me how to do that? I am having the same issue.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Running
Click on "Show Cached Programs" in the upper right corner
Find Home Screen and click it. then find the Cache section of the app and clear it
Then when you go back to the home screen, a dialogue box will pop up asking you which program you want to use as a launcher. Select what you want and click "Always".
Worked like a champ for me, hope it does for you.

Does your S4 torch flashes when you receive a phone call?

I just found out about this last night. I received a called around 12am. The S4's torch flash start flashing in interval when i got the call. Pretty weird but cool at the same time. I tested it out in the next morning and it still does that.
Does anyone know that its a Samsung's feature or something else that I installed? I wanna turn it off to save battery.
Thanks.
Mine doesnt do that...

Check your accessibility settings to turn this on and off... Its a feature commonly used for people who are hard of hearing so they can see the phone flash when it rings.

Menu -> Settings -> My Device Tab -> Accessibility -> Under hearing at the bottom there is a flash notifications check box.

That option is NOT checked at all and the torch is still flashes when i get phone calls. But not for text/email, etc..
Try checking it and unchecking it. If that doesn't work, it's an app.

[Q] quick toggle stuck in alternate

I went to toggle WiFi on and accidentally changed the toggle to wifiAP.
I can't change it back. Probably because I don't know how I changed it from Wi-Fi to wifiAP.
Any help? AOSPA 4.3

Hello,
You might get a faster answer by posting this question in the thread of the ROM that you are running.

That may be true however the method should be the same between all aosp Roms. I just need to know how to toggle it back. They have a little box on the top right of the toggle so you can see which one is active. All of them are left box except the wifiAP one. Should be simple to change it back, maybe.
Edit: got it. Have to touch the little box in the toggle specifically. Hard to do with toe thumbs

No mobile data toggle tmo

In s7 edge t mobile version there is no data toggle in notification panel.
We have to go all the way back to settings to turn it on.
Since the root is achieved is there any way to bring back the toggle???
Thanks
Should be able to decompile the system ui and activate it.

Install Good Lock from the galaxy store. No root required.
Tmo bastards removed it.. I've asked @jds3118 to put this feature in his Echoe rom(btw check it out it's great). I'm an optimist that we will have this feature soon enough!
Just curious
What is the reason you would like a data toggle? Do you roam around in the mountains? I just turn the phone off when I'm in the remote places of the world. But mostly, I just use wifi at home which shuts down data, and when I leave house turn off wifi, which enables data and allows me to use my android radio and maps and stream. So what is the reason for a switch, I have a widget set that includes that switch, I'll check for you to find which one it is but I think it is called Beautiful widgets, or it may be in Fancy widgets. I use to use that switch all the time back many years ago but find no reason to use it anymore.
Is there any way for non rooted phone.????
I do use good lock but i dnt like stock android look i prefer touchwiz ui..
I always switch btwn data and wifi whole day...so i need that toggle in notification panel
Check out what I did here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjwbs8qwd2o this is the closest I have got with out root. it works pretty well.
ok guys i have a trick not original but it does give faster access to data toggler not on the notification bar but on home screen i came up with this after reading this tread=
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/built-caller-id-hidden-t3357996[/url] for the incoming caller ID hack. well with that app i did a data search look for phone com.android phone then you click on it to branch it then tap on mobile data then create short cut and bingo no more clicks after clicks then i found a image of a setting with the data toggler image took a picture of it edit it to smaller size and swap it with the phone image like i said not perfect but it will do for me. hope this help others her is image of it maybe somebody can make a nicer data icon image been this thread was all ready started i didn't want to start a new one
Or use good lock and enable quick settings tab.

GOOD LOCK is not just a lock screen like I thought.
IT GIVE YOU MOBILE DATA QUICK TOGGLE
the default them looks CRAPPY AS all can be, see my screen shots after I changed it.
I'm a happy camper
Mobile data toggle is absent in nougat too for tmo...i wrote suggestion to add the toggle.. and also good lock is not present in nougat...
Isn't there any other method like to edit some Xml files in order to see the toggle? This is a carrier 'feature' and I think is not that hard to enable it, if you know where to look...
Anybody?

I have Nougat on my Moto Z. The notification shade has 2 positions, 1) partly down, and 2) all the way down. I placed the Cellular Data icon in the first row. When I pull the notification shade down once (i.e. part way down) and double click on the Cellular Data icon, it toggles Cellular Data on and off.

You will need root otherwise cant do this. You need to edit the others.xml file in System/CSC on your device. When you open the others.xml you will see the csc code. Edit the line that says ConfigDefQuickSettingItem and add MobileData on the end. After editing make sure to set permissions if they changed to 644. I used root explorer to do all this. After editing the CSC go into settings, general then reset settings on your device. When it reboots go to edit the quick setting icons and the Mobile Data Icon will be there.

Thanks Naruto. But do you know, is it possible to root Android Nougat?
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
What is the reason for needing a mobile data toggle? At idle, phones do not consume alot of data. An unlimited plan can be had on this device for $65 with Cricket. Even without unlimited, I do not understand the need for the toggle? In what instance would you like the mobile data turned off?

It will never happen unless they do like they did for the S5. Flash back to MM, install flashfire, then flash a N rom. I doubt there will ever be a N root. Plus its new, even if there was, it would be months from now until it would happen.
I want to turn off data when I do not need it. I do the same with the WiFi. It is not related to my data plan but to the battery life I have which is very poor.
Disabled most of the bloatware and still get 2-3 h of SOT maximum.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Do you use snapchat and facebook? I hear those destroy your battery. Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage by app? Im sure the people here will know exactly what it is. I can leave my data on and only lose 4 percent overnight in 7.5 hours just idle with data on.

Unusual Google search bar widget

Hello folks, I've got a strange visual issue with my Galaxy S8:
Huh, seems like I can't link any images. Sorry if I trasgress the board rules in my first post:
hCATSttp://i.imgur.com/xwKihwe.png
My Google search bar stopped being the Galaxy S8's one. The microphone icon is still in the right but the Google logo is now absent, the space is more bright (I think), the corners aren't rounded, and the text "Say Ok Google" is aligned in the right. Practically, it's in material design with the wrong alignment.
There aren't any other launcher installed, I'm still using TouchWiz/Samsung Experience.
How can I fix this problem?
P.S. The similar threads popup sure is useful (not for my case), every board should have something like this.
This has happened to me as well.
To fix you'll need to go into the Google App Settings --> Widgets --> Turn off "Show Updates"
Hope that helps.

Try to go to Settings > Apps and find Google App, then uninstall the updates thru the three dots.
