The wifi tether app from the market should work though right? Everyone that's rooted so far seems to indicate that is the case

How to remove Bell Update reminders

I downloaded the ota update for bell but have not installed it yet. I actually don't want to anymore because my phone works fine and I don't want to have problems like others are. But I keep getting popups to install everyday and am afraid of accidentally hitting "update now" instead of " remind later". How can I remove this pop up? Or...how can I remove the downloaded file from my phone completely. I'm just gonna wait for gingerbread and avoid any issues. Thanks

Use TiBU to freeze the updater.

Titanium backup. Basically it stops the program from running, but you can "un freeze" at anytime and it works like new. No risk at all (unless you freeze something the phone needs to run) since you can bring it back unaffected.
I believe you need the paid version to use the freeze option, but its a great program and worth the money.

[Q] How to uninstall Evernote?

I have tried to disable it but the button is greyed out for me...
Is there anyway to disable it without rooting?

Can you please post a screenshot of what it looks like when you are at the uninstall screen?

It's called Evernote not Nevernote. It's never going away lol! But seriously just don't use it? You can use your Samsung account and I'm sure the app is really small storagewise.

Root the phone and uninstall with titanium backup

At the screen, there's only two buttons
Force Stop and Disable (but greyed out)
hmm. guess I need to figure out how to root my phone :/

Like the others said it must be a system app. You will have to root to uninstall it, if you want to.

Automatic Data for MMS

Hey everyone,
I used to have a couple of HTC phones back in the day (Droid Incredible, Thunderbolt, Rezound), all of which were capable of turning data on when I receive an MMS. I always leave my data and WiFi off when not in use. Both my S4 and Nexus 6 cannot do this. I was wondering, does the Moto X Pure turn on data when you receive an MMS? My friend has an HTC One M8 and his can turn it on automatically. I would assume the Moto X Pure does not do this. I currently paid for Tasker, and every method to do this through Tasker has not worked properly for me. Does anyone know a solution? It's very aggravating that my MMS do not download automatically, and I have to turn on my data and then download them just to receive my message. Thanks in advance!

Bump

Why are you turning off your data? You say you turn off data and WiFi when not in use...when is that? A cell phone without one of these in use is basically an expensive slab of metal and plastic???

I don't need to be connected to the internet 24/7. It's a waste of battery. I don't use my phone all the time, and it's way easier to just turn on my data and catch up on my notifications. I'd rather that then deal with my battery draining more when I'm not even able to check my notifications anyway. So it's a complete waste for me.

Bumps

Current generation phones can get a day of battery while keeping data and WiFi on the whole time, thus making what your looking for unnecessary and to the best of my knowledge no phone has had this since ~2012. If for some reason you're unable to charge once a day I'd recommend a battery pack for such an occasion.

so I was wondering the same thing. I'm coming from note4 which turned automatically. shouldnt have to explain why we want the data off. please can someone just answer the question?

Since everyone is slightly thick headed when it comes to not keeping on data I'll give you the real answer. With the update to lollipop google removed the ability of texting apps to do just this. Textra, handcent, and even the good ole aosp sms app could have this. For this option to work for any app that contains the setting you need to make that app a system app. Then it will work. Their is an app on the play store that moves to /system. It does require root

It's so dumb that they removed app's access to toggle data. I'm trying to move Google Messenger to system in Titanium Backup. I'll let you know if everything works! Thanks for the tip!

I believe their words made the system more secure. Agreed though pain in the @ss. Heads up though. When backing up in titanium whatever you back up won't be a part of it. So if full wiping you will have to reimplement the messaging app as a system app.

Sorry to be a pain, but I've been extremely busy and couldn't get the Google Messenger to become a system app. I tried Titanium Backup, and manually moving the app's lib files and nothing works. What is the play store app you are talking about? The only one I could find just moves system apps to user apps. Thanks in advance for all of your help!!

I downloaded the Link2SD app which successfully moved Google Messenger to a system app. The setting to turn data on is checked but it still does not work. Anyone have any other ideas? If not that's okay I'm just curious if someone else has this working.

So, I've been using this app and it works very well. You have to be rooted though. And I am running MM.
"Auto enable data" allows you to have ur data off at all times,, and when an MMS comes through it will turn on your data, download the MMS and when done it will turn off data.
"WIFI fix" will turn off WIFI if connected to a WIFI, and turn it on once data turns on and then off after it's done downloading an MMS.
Name is AwSMS. Get it on the Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=project.awsms

I could put something together if u want to test, this would be a flashable add-on after flashing one of the stock rooted already posted...

I'd be interested in a hotspot flashable add-on as well. At least until GPS is up and running on BB rom. Thanks OMJ

Appreciate the work OMJ. I never installed the hotspot hack because I went straight to your badboyz rom instead.

so 10 peole that downloaded, did it work? lol geez thanks OMJ for those who didnt tell you

If you want to continue to use stock room, and need hot spot, there is a trick using the app shortcut master from the market where you just have to edit 1 line . It works on LG g2 and g3 (I used it). If anyone wants to try, I'll look for a link to the directions.

Could you post directions for this.

This may be what he is talking about. Used it also on my LG G2.
Have not tested on HTC 10 though.

Good work. That is exactly what I was referring to. Thank you. I hadn't seen the request. I have no idea if it would work on HTC 10. But, it doesn't seem like a huge stretch that it would.

No good. Those values don't show up in shortcut master.
Anyone had any luck with this? I can't find the file that OMJ is talking about to save my life. I don't see any attachments.
I've tried editing my build.prop and I've tried editing the default xml to change the rules and enforcement to 0.
The latter DID let the hotspot start for me. Other devices can connect. But they never get network connectivity.
Can anyone help me confirm what I'm missing?

Fabio Grasso's WiFi Tether app works for me on the 10.
https://sites.google.com/site/wifitetherrouter/

I can't get it to work on mine! I've achieved root, installed the app, matched all the settings up....no internet connection. It's strange, my Ipad can see the network and it says it's connected. As soon as I connect it though I lose internet connection on both devices, can't load a single web page. Did you have this issue at all or would you have any idea what would cause this? I'm at my wits end with it, and I've used this app for 2 years on my M8.

HAH. I couldn't get it to work with this app (not initially anyway). I turned to his site to check if there were settings already available to use for the HTC 10 because it couldn't auto-detect the wifi adapter name. On his site, it says HTC users need to uninstall "TetherGuard" - system app.
Did that, figured I'd reboot and try the built in tethering which now works beautifully. Got it still within my refund window for Wifi Tether Router.
So some combination of what I posted above plus UNINSTALL TETHERGUARD! And life's good now. Thanks much.

It didn't give me the option to uninstall, just disable. I did that and tweaked with a few more things and that seemed to fix it. Fingers crossed!

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall TetherGuard since you're rooted, instead of just disabling it.

Anyone want to post the specific changes/tweaks they've done? I've done changes to build.prop and default.xml (using the various settings found all over XDA) and also disabled/removed TetherGuard, but I'm still stuck at hotspot enabling but no data connection for any connected devices (data still works for the phone while hotspot is on though).
