I don't know what settings to change... i am new to android and smart phones.
I know this was not happening when I bought the phone. Any help is very much appreciated. thanks!
Have you installed any sms apps that could do this? For example, SMS popup has a setting that keeps the screen on until the user replies/closes the msg/popup.
thanks for the reply. only relevant apps include... handcent, and maybe advanced task killer, juice defender. I just uninstalled all of those and will sort of start fresh. any other thoughts?
Make sure the puzzle lock feature is enabled in sound /display settings. I had the same issue. I think its a software glitch. The screen will not shut off after an sms if this feature is disabled. Need a patch Samsung.....
ok, thanks! I will give it a try.
sorry for the noob question i did try a search & read the wiki trouble is my question is "what is this" so rather hard to search, when the question is what is it!!!
on the start home screen there's a 5 item widget/toolbar that has
- wifi
- blueTh
- ?
- ?
- screen brightness
What are the 2 items that i only have question marks for, i've pressed them but what do they do (other than nothing obvious)?
Thanks in advance....
I'm pretty sure one is to enable data on mobile networks, the 2nd is to enable apps (eg gmail, maps etc) to sync using data on mobile networks or wifi.

cheers,
not sure though....
the 3rd & 4th buttons really dont seem to do anything even when plugged into the pc, what happens when you press them on yours?
thanks again
wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync, brightness
is there any way to edit those functions? or add/take away our own?
i'd love to swap a data connection on/off for that sync button.

Noooooo not on a Stock rom mate
yeah, I looked around a little today. Looks like the OS doesn't allow access to turning data on/off from anywhere but the settings menu. I found an app that just created a shortcut to the data menu. Works for me.

I found 2g/3g in the market that links directly to the data menu & placed it on my homescreen
elegant? no - does the job? yes

That's because you have a lot of apps running on the background. Check your phone manager in the battery manager and go into protected apps. ONLY protect those you really need. It's recommended to keep eight apps, but you can protect a little more. Be careful of which you portect, some are said "power intensive". To know which apps eat up most of your battery, go into "Power usage firewall" in the battery manager. Remember to use the "Smart" power plan in the "Power plan" (Thansk captain obvious.) section of the battery manager.
I you have any live wallpapers set as your homescreen wallpaper, opt in for a static wallpaper. If your data options, automatic rotation, etc is on, disable those. If your brightness is set at 100%, low it. (You might already know that though... Sorry if you do!)
If you're running EMUI 4.0, go into the app autolaunch setting of the phone manager and disable every switches.
If these does not help, you should contact the Huawei support.

Cheers mate I will look now
You're welcome mate. Hope this'll fix your problem!
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.

Power Toggles gives you this option as well as a bunch of other useful Toggles. Accessible right from the notification swipe down as well as widgets. No root required

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?

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.
Dear experts,
Today I got my Mi 9T. Still trying to find my way around, but... I find it PRETTY
ASTOUNDING, that when the phone is locked, I am able to swipe down on the
LOCKSCREEN, and I see all the icons for turning on and off of VITAL functions
like ringtone, wi-fi, mobile data...
This poses a SIGNIFICANT security risk, because anybody who steals the phone,
can turn off wi-fi and mobile data and then the Find my phone feature simply
won't work.
So, what is the solution to this ? I didn't find a way to disable that menu from
being shown in the lock screen...
Or maybe the Find my phone feature works when wi-fi and mobile data are off ?!?
Many thanks for your professional comments on that!
P.S .: I think it is like that on Samsung phones as well !!! WHY ?!?
I understand your concern, the drop down menu (aka Notification shade) can be dragged down on lockscreen and it is like this on every aosp kind off ROM....
But I am very sure that the icons CANNOT BE OPERATED unless you unlock the screen.
Try to turn off wifi and it should ask for password to unlock.
Can you check it out and conform it?
Settings -> Notifications -> Lock screen notifications* -> disable "Open notification drawer on the lock screen".
* the picture/icon on the left. It's not obvious it's a submenu (nor that there's such a critical setting hidden inside) because for no apparent reason they've decided to use a totally different design language here.
Thanks. Was great to read this, however I don't have this option... I only see apps, format and open notification shade... Nothing about the drawer
Any other ideas ?

That is the one. Notifications / Lock screen notifications / Open notification shade on lock screen - set it off and you won't see it on Lock screen anymore
I found it!! Was just too slow to report here. It is called "Open notification shade on lock screen" !!
THANKS A LOT to everybody !!

funny thing is to today I was looking up how to secure my phone as I still have access to a lot of things by just pulling down the drop menu so ja since when has security become so weak and its mostly on expensive androids phones that its happening I have a button type phone made by vodacom yet its security is more secure that mine it has the ability to set users on the hotspot which makes you think that you actually wasting on expensive when the main purpose is to be secure I also punched into to YouTube and I searched for secure yet all the results is lol how to unlock any android this is insane and I FEEL THAT BY ROOTING YOUR PHONE AND GIVEN AN OPTION TO CHANGE LIMITED ACCESS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST HAVE MORE SECURITY ON OUR PHONES
