Hi, i'm new here. Have to say this place looks awesome.
Anybody know how to disable Wifi on my phone? I can root it and am also hoping i can disable Wifi for one of the users OR disable it completely for the entire phone; all users.

Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has had the issue where their Panache Hotspot doesn't turn off? I will outline the problem below...
On Day x, I turn on my Hotspot and gave access to my sister, who has an iPod Touch -> she finishes what she needs to do, and I turn it back off
Day y, I do not turn on the Hotspot (meaning that the Hotspot box is NOT checked - I can't post an example, as I don't know how to do it off my phone and xda won't allow me to post outside links - sorry!) but I find out she still has access. I consult with a couple other people about why this might be, and it turns out that they can all find my Hotspot (HTC Portable Hotspot) on their phones too. Also, even after I went into my Hotspot and blocked her IP, she still was able to have access. The only thing I could do was turn off my phone, or change my password and turn on my Hotspot and then turn it off again.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be? I'm on mobilicity, so I have unlimited data, but this still bothers me, and I'm only into day 4 of my 14 day 'trial' period, so if this is a huge bug, I'll probably take it back and swap for a Nexus S.
Please let me know if I'm missing any information. I really appreciate any help anyone can give!!
Thanks!

Hi,
a few month ago, my mobile network automatic turn off if WiFi hotspot on my HTC sensation was turn on. I already check setting until 2 week but the problem still not solve. I am happy right now after my software flashing with ROM Android Revolution HD, change kernel, radio. etc.
Not only my WiFi hotspot was working properly but my htc was faster and very faster.
Sorry if my answer not make you happy
Hello XDA, I'm curious if there is a way in either the standard ROM (Which would be Sprint to use with Ting) or a custom ROM to be able to turn off the WiFi and lock it to make it kid friendly? Ting allows data control from their end so it's no problem there, just curious if there is a way to put a PIN on the ability to turn WiFi on and off. Thanks!
AppLocker?

How about locking the Settings app by AppLocker or similar apps after forgetting the WiFi network in the phone?

That could be an option, thanks! I'd like for them to still able to adjust settings on the phone but that seems like the only solution that makes sense so far. Other than just deleting the wifi driver itself.
As the title states, I am looking for a way to use the "wifi sharing" feature that the Galaxy S7 and S7E's come with. Verizon appears to have not liked the idea of us using our phones as wifi repeaters, to tether a wifi signal from one to another. To be clear, I am not discussing a mobile Hotspot to tether your Mobile Data to another device, I am talking about sending a wifi connection from my S7 to another device.
Does anyone havery a work around? I am currently rooted and running stang5litre's V2 ROM. Thanks in advance.
Would likely require a framework edit or replacement (unlikely it's an easy swap) from another carriers rom. There's a tiny chance it's a system.prop or build.prop property that you could edit with a root file editor but I doubt it :/ Out of curiosity what on earth is your usecase for this? I ask this as a genuine question as someone in IT who uses hot spot all the time and I believe Sterling's rom has that enabled on non-tethered plans?
I would also like to know this information.
Could you explain "wifi sharing" a little better?
I have had Samsung phones for a while and have never seen that feature.
Wifi is either connected to a hotspot / router or peer to peer adhoc.
Are you wanting to have a internet connection from cellular or wifi or not at all?
Tagged for continued interest.
I just want to know how you rooted your phone...
Has it been discussed or brought up about being able to disable the Hotspot Verify option?
My old Moto X Pure didn't need to verify (I have the service) to enable the Hotspot. What I noticed this do was two fold:
1) data usage appeared as my normal phone usage
2) faster speeds over hotspot for my connected devices
+1
maybe an app for taht?!
Got unlimited data but limited hot spot so would be great to make things better
Now that AT&T/Sprint/Verizon are also rooted, it would be great to find a universal solution. I'm on AT&T and my V20 also does this. It's really annoying, I hate having to wait to enable my hotspot.
Has anyone been able to find a way to turn this feature back on while rooted? Any apps that offer this? Not talking about sharing 4g/3g internet, talking about sharing my wifi with other devices.
S7 had this feature but Verizon wanted to disable it for some reason.
I would also like to know this information.
