Hi,
G4 Plus Nougat 7.0 (stock)
Is there a way to lock-stop access to the swipe down function that allows access to the various functions such as: Location, WiFi, network carrier, Bluetooth Airplane mode etc? If the phone is lost or stolen all one has to do is swipe down and turn off location and either WIFI or your network carried and it can’t be located-well from what I know.
Thanks

Hey guys I know there's a way to automatically connect and disconnect Wi-Fi I thought it was called Smart Switch but apparently it's not does anyone have any idea what it's called?

Smart Switch is for moving content between devices.
Smart Network Switch is for automatically moving from WiFi to Mobile Data, in theory without losing ongoing connections.
The Edge Panel "My Places" can be configured to automatically enable/disable WiFi (and other things) based upon your location (location being configured a small number of ways).
There's probably an App to do it another way (like Wi-Fi Matic - which I've never tried - linky).
It took me a minute to find it but if you go into Wi-Fi settings & tap "more" you'll find the smart network switch option.. It used to be under advanced & somehow I was just missing it when I went to the advanced settings
Hello,
Ive noticed each time I turn on my location services/GPS it always switches to the GPS, Mobile network & wifi option. So each time I have to go choose if I only want GPS, or only want mobile/wifi for location. How to do I reset this?
Thanks!
Not sure you can. You have to manually change it each time you fully activate GPS. You could just leave it turned off and turn it on when you actually want it.
Hi! I have a problem with my new Moto G4 Play XT1602. Stock rom 6.0.1, no root.
I do not have a wifi, only SIM data connection.
APN is properly set, with "dun", and I tried many different SIM without changes.
When I activated the hotspot, other devices see the hotpost but fail to connect the network.
At this point, if I click the double arrow icon (drop-down menu) twice I deactivated and reactivated the data network and tethering starts (devices are properly connected) but It does not work anymore the network data in the cell.
It appears an exclamation mark near the Cellular data icon (the triangle with 4G/H+)
Summing, the devices connected to the hotspot use the data network but the phone itself is "offline", in not possible to use anything related to the network
When I deactivate the hotspot, I have to tap again twice the double arrow icon (drop-down menu) to bring the phone "online".
Is there any solution to simultaneously use the hotspot and the connection on the phone itself?
Thanks for any help!
I've been using Tasker to turn on mobile hotspot automatically when I connect to my car's Bluetooth, so my headunit in the car can use the internet. Mobile Hotspot gets turned on fine, but nothing can connect to the hotspot until I unlock my S8. I will get "authentication errors" on anything I try to connect to the hotspot until the phone has been unlocked.
I can relock the phone afterwards and it still works, but it's obviously a pain having to take my phone out and unlock it every time (and kinda defeats the purpose of having Tasker turn the hotspot on). Is there some way around this?
I should add, this only seems to be a problem recently, since Oreo. Previously it worked without issue.
Go to settings - lock screen and security - secure lock settings - and uncheck the lock network and security. Should work, but I cannot test it since my phone is rooted. Good Luck
My Oneplus 6T is rooted. I tend to keep my wifi adapter turned off to save battery life. Few days after I purchased the phone, I noticed that when I turn off wifi, as soon as I lock the phone then unlock it, the wifi toggle will automatically turn back on.
After much research, I went to wifi settings and unchecked all of the following:
Turn on WiFi automatically
Smart wifi switcher
scanning always available
Open network notification
Wifi-Scanning (for apps)
And in the location settings, I changed (limited) location sharing with apps and stopped sharing with Google to avoid having the wifi adapter turning on. Yet the wifi still does, and very quickly after I turn it off.
BTW, My phone is running OxygenOS 9.0.1.
Any ideas please on how to solve this?
