Disable AT&T wifi auto connect?

Does anyone know how to disable the auto connect to AT&T hotspot feature? It is not checked in the wifi settings but doesn't seem to work and appears it's being ignored. Thanks

Anyone?

Someone will reply if they do.... not like they are trying to withhold the answer... I want to know as well, won't even allow u to forget the network...

That doesn't work as the OP has already mentioned. I also have it unchecked and it still automatically connects when I'm at a Starbucks or something. It's really annoying.

Yeah this is annoying, I think it's a bug because the AT&T N3 I had before didn't do this.

Oops, my bad. Missed that part in the OP. But in my defense, it was rather verbose.

it's not a bug, they force your phone to connect so it uses wifi instead of cell network, you can't disable it without root, even if you turn off "auto connect".
You can edit the values with Root Explorer to get rid of it though
open Root Explorer
mount as R/W
go to data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf
open wpa_supplicant.conf with text editor
(this is a list that tells the phone what order to connect to, so you'll notice that the "attwifi" named one is above your usual home wifi network, that tells the phone to always connect to ANY wifi spot called "attwifi" over other network. Also notice where it says "key_mgmt=NONE"? That means it's coded to connect to any access point...ANY access point, named "attwifi". So if you hate your neighbors and they have ATT, rename your router "attwifi" and their phones will connect to it automatically and you can have your way with them )
anyways,
delete the set of coding that says:
network={
ssid="attwifi"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=3
}
reboot
enjoy secure wifi

Worked gr8, tnx!!!

I know this is an old thread and for LG to boot, but when I delete that code in my wpa_supplicant.conf file on my Note 3, it just comes back on the next reboot (would running a custom rom, FireKat, make a difference)?

You can try by steps:
1. Access this file: /system/etc/wifi/default_ap.conf.
2. Delete:
network={
ssid="attwifi"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=3
}
3. Factory reset.
It worked well to me. Good luck!

Tethering for free?

I have a totally unlimited data plan but I am restricted to only 2gb of tethering (I can eat through 2gb in less than an hour. )
With my rooted note 4, is there any way / xposed module etc where I can get unlimited tethering without the network knowing?
Kind of sucks paying £40+ a month for unlimited data when it turns out it's not really unlimited.
Kind regards,
Chiller.

with an unrooted note4 you could route everything through a home vpn. may not work with a rooted one depending on what vpn hardware you use.
my zyxel usg 300 vpn works great with my note 4 but it needs an unrooted phone.

A great app to use is Klink. Klink goes for about $5 on the app market, and rooting is not required to run. The only requirement to tether is having the klink program running on your Pc or Mac. The app bypasses your tethering setting and connects you strait to your unlimited data. I've been using the app for about 2 years and used around 1tb of my Sprint unlimited data. It's the best $5 I've ever spent. I recommend trying the demo first.

Hmm, not really what I'm after. I want to use it while out and about (in the car for example) so my daughters tablet can go online / netflix etc.

I don't know if it works with a rooted phone or how it'd work with your carrier, I use FoxFi/PdaNet on AT&T in the U.S. but I have to physically USB tether my phone to my laptop. Some of the other U.S. carriers haven't blocked FoxFi/PdaNet's mobile hotspot capabilities. There is a free app to try it.
It has Mobile Hotspot, Bluetooth & USB tether options but I can only use the USB tether option in the car.

Try pda net from play store. If you want to use it with another tablet it may work. Nowadays carrier got smarter and they for certain data packets but since you want to use it with another mobile browser and mobile netflix it may work

I realise that you might already have the answer to this. I am on three, no root, stock. I created a new apn called three, put the apn as three.co.uk
i then used adb to send "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"
rebooted, now im using about 50gb a month, free

Ooh now this sounds interesting. Will it be possible to do without using adb?
You might be surprised to hear, in all my time rooting and messing about with phones, I've never used adb directly.
Is there a file or a string I can simply modify? I decided to root my phone a month or so back because I've already been told, they don't care if it's rooted at my local samsung galaxy store!

For rooted phones, try this, i didnt root mine to achieve what I wanted.
Install a SQLite editor such as SQLite Debugger
Using the SQLite editor, navigate to the file /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db (this is the part that requires root)
Enter the database global
Change the value of field tether_dun_required to 0.

When I lived in UK, I used giffgaff which ran on O2 and it had unlimited download. I used to watch netflix every night without any hiccup. Qith your trick, it could be well qorth it. You might want to try it out unless they have changed their tariff now to limited or capped.

Only three offerr truly unlimited data and are transparent in the way which they sell it. giffgaff dont offer truly unlimited, neither do virgin (got their hands slapped)
Even the new announced unlimited data sim from talk talk lets them decide what constitutes unlimited.

I'm on three as well and just bought a Nexus 6P. I do not want to root it and have unlimited data plan. I used to use WiFi tether on my Note 3 but that app doesn't work on the 6P. Can you explain to me as simply as you can how you did this adb? What is adb is it an app on the playstore? I've searched and quite a few came up but most say the phone needs to be rooted.
If I create this apn and somehow get tethering to work on my unlimited data and not to take data off my allowed allowance of only 4GB/month. Would I be able to use data normally on the phone on a day to day basis on this new apn, or would I need to switch every time I want to tether and then switch back? And use the stock tether/hotspot method instead of these tethering apps?

This does not work on lollipop. I had limited success on Android 5.0. Seems this workaround only works on kitkat…(for me anyway)

I tried this it and it is still not working.
I have Kitkat 4.4.4
I changed the value to zero.
When I go to turn on the hotspot it still gives me the pop up saying I need a subscription.
Is there something else I need to be doing?
I am using FOXFI. I have also tried it with PDANET.
How do I get rid of the subscription check?
I am beyond frustrated with this thing. I have been trying to turn this into a hotspot for over a year now.

Working Republic Wireless app in Custom ROMS

I've found a way to get the Republic Wireless app to work in custom ROMS, well at least CM11 & CM12 but I don't know why the method wouldn't work elsewhere. Currently I've been able to get the phone activated and I can send text messages in CM11 but phone calls do not work on either CM11 or CM12. Also, text messages show up as the "secret number" and not your actual number. The phone will show that it's getting signal but the MEID space is null in the Republic app. I'm sure there are things that I'm missing that need to be copied over for a fully functional ROM but here's what I've got so far.
In the build.prop:
#begin build properties
CHANGE
ro.product.name=​
TO
ro.product.name=ghost_repw​
#additional build properties
ADD THE FOLLOWING
ro.build.repw=true​
That should be it for the build.prop
These you can copy and paste into your ROM. I recommend taking them from the RW Stock ROM.
system > app
RepWNetworkManager.apk
RepWNetworkManager.odex
RepWTrafficManager.apk
RepWTrafficManager.odex​
I'm not sure if you need .odex and .apk, I copied both just in case.
system > etc > permissions
com.bandwidth.rw.system.xml
com.sprint.xml​
system > framework
com.bandwidth.rw.system.jar
com.bandwidth.rw.system.odex
com.sprint.jar
com.sprint.odex​
again, not sure if both are necessary.
system > priv-app
Republic.apk​
If you change the build.prop, copy the needed files over and zip the ROM back up, you should have a functioning Republic app. If anyone has any ideas as to how to make this fully functional, feel free to post your ideas.

This is very interesting. I have been wanting to get custom roms on republic. Keep us up to date on your progress.

RW had to modify both the Messaging and the Dialer apps in order to make them work with their WiFi calling system. Although I haven't compared them to the stock apps I suspect that if you do you will see that they are not the same.

It's occurred to me that even if we could get CM11 working properly, I doubt we could do so with any Lollipop ROM before the official update.
I've done further research by using the RW Dialer.apk and Mms.apk. Here are my findings:
Opening the Dialer or Messaging apps caused immediate FC.
Calls to my RW number came through, but could not be answered because the Dialer would FC.
By switching back to the CM Dialer, I could send and receive calls from the HSN (hidden Sprint number).
By installing a secondary texting app (i.e. Google Messenger), I could send/receive SMS with the HSN.
Also using a secondary texting app, I could send/receive MMS with my RW number (a peculiar result).
SMS to my RW number never came through at all.
Calls never seemed to work over Wi-Fi, but the MMS did, and some of the SMS might have.
From my research so far, it seems you could have a fully functional normal phone by using your hidden Sprint number in this method. You would lack the RW feature of Wi-Fi calling, though Wi-Fi MMS seems to work with your RW number.

I'll have to look into the Dialer but I've used Messenger in CM11 and it mostly worked, but went to the Sprint Number. I'll try swapping out the messaging and dialer apps and see if that effects anything. I don't think just the apps would make a difference though as apps like Messenger do work on the RW ROM without modification. I'm betting, the messaging apps at least, are routed through a file(s) that I'm not aware of. I think one of the files I mentioned in my OP or something similar to them is what routes messages and allows it to work with WiFi. I know I'm missing something that makes the RW app/framework recognize my actual phone number/MEID.

I've had similar results with my steps and using Messenger. I was able to send texts on CM11 and receive them but they were all through my Sprint # and the formatting was strange. I don't recall if I could make calls at all.
I think making it work on CM12 is possible. But I agree that it's not possible quite yet. Without a stock image to look through I have no idea how they've organized everything. I haven't checked in a few days, but if someone has been able to make a ROM out of the nandroid backup, I could decompress that, move the RW files over, recompress and attempt to flash it. I'm almost certain there's something I'm still missing, I'm just not sure what it is.

Really cool findings in here... I've wondered about this myself, and whether it might be possible to install CM in a rom slot and then use a global pre-paid sim card while traveling.
bstevens23, did you flash the CM image into a TWRP romslot or have you used sunshine to unlock and flashed over everything? I'm a little fuzzy on how the flash mem in the phone is actually partitioned up, especially when it comes to stuff like radio firmware vs. os partitions.... not sure what would work here.
Cool stuff!:good:

I saw this on reddit. As we know were also not allowed access on stock to the APN settings. There is a utility on f droid that gives you access the APN settings. There are about 15 various APNs that seem to be included that you can't edit, select, or delete. Likely these are chosen by the RW app.
It is too bad that there is not a utility that allows you to compare two roms and displays the differences

Looking into the data folder it would seem like w ebb might want to move over the shared press as well as looking through the xml files it calls out authentic devices for the RW apps. Perhaps this will allow the backend to interface with the rest of the Rw applications?

So, looking at the logcat for mms, it looks like it crashes on loading or accessing MmsApp.java and MmsConfig.java

Enabled Stock WiFi Hotspot Enable XT1526 others ?

Enabled stock tether with help of XPosed Framework and Moto Tether Module.
Tried the straitforward way of just modifying build.prop and moto tether module but wasn't able to get out to the web. Curious to know if all my steps were necessairy. Here is what I did to get it working.
Needed:
Root
SQLLiteEditor
Build.Prof editing ability
XPosed Framework & Module X Tether also known as Moto Tether
Steps:
Edited the following database with SQLLiteEditor.
\data\data\com.android.providers.telephony\databases\telephony.db
Opened carriers
Filter/searched for the word boost for my ignorance here I edit all of them.
Under column 'type' change any that say default,MMS to default,MMS,dun and also change any that say fota,ia to fota,ia,dun
Exit SQLLiteEditor
I rebooted and installed the XPosed Framework with Module X Tether also known as Moto Tether
Changed the Line in the build.prop ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 to ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0
Rebooted and then it worked.

I did all of the steps listed above. I still cannot get my tablet connected to the internet when I am broadcasting the wifi network via the built in Moto E 2015 tether app. The tablet connects to the network using the password I created for it but will not load any webpages. They all timeout.
The moto E itself does have internet connectivity when tethering and when not.
Please help if possible!
Thanks

The exact same thing happen to me while I was tinkering to get this working. I thought it should be working and wasn't, that's why I thought the order had something to do with it and posted mostly for me to remember what I had done. I tried everything, pinged gateways, static IP address on my tablet, you name it, to try to determine why it didn't work. Double checked for dumbthumb.
My setup, stock firmware that came with the phone, unlocked and rooted, running TWRP for what it's worth. I have in the past disabled some nobrainer bloat and even uninstalled or disabled some of the Motorola software. Maybe I missed something i did that was silly between steps too but, nothing huge I think.
You are the only one who reported back so far that tried. Wish there were at least someone reporting success with feedback.
I just tested my tablet and it still works DHCP, nothing special on the tablet side. If i get a hot moment, I'll go back to stock and re-do the process to see if I yield other results but, for now I recommend trying again, clear cache's and normal Android type stuff. Double check that XPosed and everything is working, rebooted etc..

No misconception. I got this working with XPosed Framework for Lollypop enabled and working, with Module Moto Tether installed and enabled. There really weren't any settings for Moto Tether other than having it enabled in Xposed.
Good luck.

Okay... I see some more potential confusion. The xposed framework module download is called x tether. There module after installation is called Moto Tether. Sorry if there was confusion. I'm on boost Mobile and its working.

Installed exposed and the x feather and modified the build prop, still can't get this to work. Do I need to do what the OP listed also?

That's it! Worked for me, hope it does for you, as I haven't been able to find any working fixes for my particular model of the Moto E.

Thanks! This worked flawless on my Virgin Mobile XT1526

Yes seems pretty easy to do on this version of the Moto E. I put my page plus sim in before activated on Verizon, XT 1528 and the native Wi-Fi hotspot option works beautifully for free apparently.

Great Job BRO..It worked for me great

I recently acquired a Sprint-Prepaid branded moto e lte/2015/xt1526 and activated with no problem on RingPlus. I have LTE data on the phone no problem.
But I can't share via the WiFi hotspot. So I rooted, etc, etc, and tried the two build.prop tweaks suggested here. Still no joy.
I guess the phone's code has been updated to ignore those build.prop settings that make it all too easy to turn on Wifi-tethering.
Guess I'll try hacking telephony.db next, since running as either root or userid radio and invoking the APN settings editor via the am command yields a message that APN editing is not allowed for "this user".....
Any other bright ideas?

Do you have one of the Ring Plus plans that allow tethering?
If you can get stock working I would be interested in the steps needed.
If not, you should be able to use WiFi Tether Router - $2.80 from the play store and requires root.

OKAY. Thanks. I tried several other apps with similar names but genuine "WiFi Tether Router" for $2.80 seems to be working fine now on my xt1526 on Ringplus (Sprint)
I just carefully followed the config directions for Xt1526 and Sprint on the developer's webpages. (The out-of-the-box defaults do not work and I required a reboot to continue...)
(I would have paid more for this!)
Hooray. I won't confess how many hours I spent today trying various hacks. I learned a bit about adb and android. But not nearly enough. And oh by the way - I have been a professional Linux/C++/Java systems programmer/hacker for the last 10+ years. Haven't learned all the ins and outs of Android, since it's so darned easy to just download an app... Actually I use my Android Tablet, wifi Tethered to my phone, ssh'ing back to my computer at home (JuiceSSH highly recommended too!) to get my work done while waiting for the kids or wife at the mall...
I was using another phone on another carrier which only required a simple APN add the ",dun" string/edit to get that working -- but I couldn't pass up the practically free plans that Ringplus is offering...
My xt1526 is "stock" EXCEPT, I did the Moto unlock the bootloaders thing and "rooted" by fastbook/flashing a TWRP recovery image, also from this XDA board, of course.

How did you edit the build.prop without root on the VZW Moto E? Or is this only for first gen Moto? I have VZW Moto E 2nd gen, android 5.1, activated with my postpaid sim.
thanks for any advice!

I have a rooted Sprint pre-paid xt1526 comes with a stock Boost mobile firmware on a Ring+ plan with no tethering. Hotspot functionality is there and I can turn it on. I can connect other devices to it, but traffic doesn't reach to the internet.
I actually only need to modify the iptables every time after reboot to enable forwarding and NAT. Works perfect. "Wifi Tether" app works too, but it is a battery killer.

Tried everything everyone has said and still can't get it working. Device connects to hotspot but isn't allowed internet access. Any ideas?

Need package info

Can anybody tell me what this is? com.sec.vsimservice

I know replacing it removes the rcs and volte icons that show up after rooting. That's all I know tho lol. It has to do with data service I believe.

If I remember correctly that should have to do with video calling but not positive.

Do we know anymore info on this? After rooting the s7 (at&t) everything was fine, accept sending texts through messeges failed. Then this notification came up, I could not remove it from notifications. I did a restart and got stuck in boot loop and had to factory reset. Now, I haven't finished root yet, but still on same rom and this has popped up again.

i got the stupid devil faced notification too. its also from com.sec.vsimservice . I never had this before but it seems ever since i started using Digits from t-mobile.
I cannot remove it for the life of me and it doesnt matter what rom i am on. I tried clearing cache and data and also blocking notifications but i can still see it when i pull down the notifications. I get it right after i send a chat message using default samsung chat app. BTW im on the note 5 t-mobile.
EDIT: i found out that vsimservice stands for virtual sim service. Well it must be freaken t-mobile Digits beta program... =/ so annoying.

I started getting the devil notification after root on stock every time I get a voicemail. I can clear it like any other notification, it's just annoying.

Anyone ever figure out how to get rid of. Not t-mobile as I'm AT&T. Also flashedvthe volt fix and he came back. I know something to do with messages but not out there on him that i found.

Mike the file nerd
I'm far from an expert at this but I could tell you how to avoid the problem in the future. I assume that if you have access to directories that contain system preconfig apps you must be running root privilege. Follow down the path to you're particular carrier. In my case I'm technically running on unlocked carrier but for the most part my phone still believes it is AIO(Cricket) ie boot still runs cricket sales code still runs as AIO. ECT. so in my example the file path would be /system/omc/AIO/etc. Inside your carriers file you will find several manifest (.xml) and text (.txt) files somthing along the lines of default_application_order.xml and/or enforcedskippingpackages.txt In my case on my s8 I have both. I haven't personally tried this yet so don't blame me if you try it and turn you phone into an 800$ paperweight (disclaimer) not to mention tampering xml is slightly outside of ethical phone use! That being said I'm of the opinion at least in my own case; if I pay for a device and don't have a contract against it i.e. I outright own the device I may set it up as i please. (Disclaimer) So ethics behind us. If I were to be experiencing this problem I would start by adding the problem pkg (...vsim...apk) whatever yours is called to the enforcedskipping.txt first (as it's slightly less unethical to change a text than a manifest) second find the system app either by an app like sysapp remover or like a real man inside the file system under probably something along the lines of "priv-app" dir or by superuser enabled terminals either abd via your computer/mac/linux whatever you run or by one of the many available terminals in the store of your choice and uninstall your problem apps (i highly suggest making a complete nandroid backup or tar or whatever recovery you use first and also saving a copy of the apk just in case) reboot your phone to recovery clear your cache partition remount the system and reboot. If this hasn't cleared up your problem back to recovery for a factory wipe with said modified files in place and backup ready. Reinstall everything then restore your backup via cmw/twrp/safestrap/bootstrap/odin/lgbridge/etc.etcetc whatever your preferred recovery method is your problem should be fixed. If still not mod the xml instead of the txt and restart from step one. Once again I do not know what dependency/gradles/etc may or may not depend on this what functions you may kill sim cards locked/ruined etc and I'm no professional so if you brick☠??? your ??that's on you for listening to an amateur enthusiast. Now I'm sure one of our wonderful experts here will come along and correct everything I've just said but I'm ok with this I listen to these guys every day I wouldn't know a fraction of the things I do without this wonderful forum and these amazing devs. So I appreciate their criticism as tutoring.

With all that said and out of the way I would like to hear from anyone who has tried this personally or other method for removing this as I myself was led to this particular thread because I was investigating the possibility of what I could change within this particular system app myself. I brick my phone phone twice a day usually so before I crash my very well set up system I usually investigate first the reciprocation/ramifications of adjusting system orientated files/apps.
