Is there a way to add mobile data quick toggle to the notification dropdown bar/menu?
Swipe down on the notification area click the three dots and choose button order and you should be able to collect it from there
The S10+ is yet another device that doesn't have the mobile data toggle. You have to settings, connections, mobile data, and so on. I am aware that previous Galaxy phones have a work around involving ADB. I'm wondering if this is true for the S10+ as well.

What's your variant? Mine is international Exynos. The toggle does exist.
Same here. International Exynos and switch is in Quick Toggles.

I think only TMobile removes it. I have Verizon and it is there. I've always had this since my S5.

AT&T removes the Data toggle. There was a way to add it back in using ADB commands that worked on my S8+, but I don't know if the same commands work on the S10+. Here's a link to the article explaining it, should you decide to give it a try.
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-restore-mobile-data-quick-settings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
FYI, you will have to run the commands after each OTA to get the Data toggle back
The same ADB commands work no problem. Tested and verified on Canadian SD855 model.
I need a data toggle!! How can this work for the AT&T S10+ though when root access is needed? U.S. snapdragon model phones can't be rooted.
S10+ unlocked phone, with Freedome Mobile. Not sure when or how, but I now have the data toggle for the first time since I bought the phone in June. Perhaps switching to Nova launcher instead of One UI did the trick? That's the only thing that I've changed, recently. The mobile data toggle seemingly just appeared all by itself -- I did absolutely nothing to try to enable it.
There's a OneUI Tuner in the apps section of XDA, maybe this could offer you the toggle without needing ADB.

I noticed when I tried to enable WiFi tethering/hotspot it launched com.motorola.entitlement, and com.android.sdm.plugins.sprintdm (and I'm on ATT!)
And then denied me!
I can wait for root to come to this device, so I can remove those stupid carrier entitlement packages. This is supposed to be a Nexus device!

Do you specifically have a tethering plan? I have a grandfathered ATT unlimited plan. I used to be able to tether on my Nexus 5 just fine.
Logcat is showing that these entitlement actions are preventing me from turning it on...uhg...
Sadly, it seems that Nexus 6 is chatting up with the carrier before enabling the Hotspot feature. When I press to turn on 'portable wi-fi hotspot' I get:
- 'Checking subscription status. Please wait ...'
- Network Error / There is a temporary network problem that prevents enablement of the Mobile Hostpot function. Please retry later.
First of all, this is Google giving it up to the carriers. One of my reason to get a Nexus is NOT having to deal with the carriers. Then, I am assuming AT&T hasn't enabled yet on their end whatever system needs to be up and running so hotspot is enabled? I can do mobile hotspot with this very SIM just fine on iPhone 6. Anyone else having this problem?

Not that I know of. I only have the 3gb plan (formerly the 2gb) because I mainly use WiFi due to the terrible Att service where I live.

i believe the difference is that for this device you are able to fully uninstall the crap that gets pushed. not disabled, but fully uninstall. i dont have to worry abt that with the unlocked version. of course, you have yours and mine "leaves warehouse by november 21"
Doesn't work for me either. I'm on VZW.

This is not how it works. I got mine directly from motorola, I'm pretty sure is the same one you'll get from Google Play Store. When device detects SIM from a particular carrier it will install apps and configurations specific to that carrier. With T-Mobile you get their app account, same thing with ATT. This probably goes beyond apps and adds the checking for tethering in your account with some providers.

Again, this is NOT true.
The unlocked version will install apps during the setup process if you have an ATT/T-Mobile sim put in and you don't skip that step. The setup explicitly asks you to hold on for a bit while it connects to the cell network. Even if you skip the step, the tethering system will 'call home' to check if you are provisioned for tethering data.
This new way to bundle apps specific to carrier after SIM detection, has been widely reported elsewhere. Even when the ROM is stock unlocked, the setup wil pull down specific apps if it detects specific SIMs like ATT or T-Mobile.

I believe @indianajonze meant that a fully unlocked device lets you root, which then allows you to fully uninstall the app. If you haven't unlocked the bootloader and rooted your phone, then you effectively have a locked device. The Nexus 6 is not an unlocked device. It is an unlockable device. (At least the Moto and GP editions are... the jury is still out on Carrier versions.)

These are system apps, you dont see them on any screen. Only when viewing a logcat debug.
I checked the Google system images, these packages are in there too....
Its like one of the previous guys said... Google bent over for the carriers, and included this **** in the system image.
Once we have root, we can disable.

Yup, you're wrong. Please don't make assumptions if you don't have the device, and then put out those assumptions as if they were fact. I mean no disrespect with that...but since you don't have the device you probably shouldn't be telling people that *DO* have the device how it works.
All Nexus 6 devices, no matter where you get them, function the same way in this regard: Google has set up Android 5.0 to allow downloading of carrier apps after SIM provisioning. They talked about it at-length a few months ago. The Nexus 6 is the first device that carriers have supported this technology with, which means when you put in the SIM Android auto-downloads anything the carriers have set up with their provisioning package, and they can determine if it's installed into System or User memory...meaning some of it can't be easily uninstalled by non-rooted folks.
My Nexus 6 direct from Moto works just fine with tethering on VZW. However I am on a 30 gig plan, and not unlimited anymore...

I tried this but didn't work for me with AT&T. I have a Tethering shorcut, but it takes you to the hotspot settings to turn it on manually like you mentioned. So I was excited to try this app out, however after I installed it, it just says it's Enabled (but it's not) and then when I tap it again it says Enabled again, not Disabled. Unless I go into my settings and turn it on, then the app will say Disabled (but doesn't really). So I guess I'll stick with what I have for now.
Hey I ended up returning my S8. I apologise for putting this info out about the Tethering app. It works perfectly on all my other ROMS. It is the only "widget" type app that worked on my LG G5 on stock rooted FW on MM. Anyway, I am not sure if you guys got Tethering to work on Verizon or whatever, but I had no issues with it on T-Mobile... However this app didn't work on T-Mobile on my S8 even.
Buy from Samsung?

You didn't by any chance purchase the phone directly from Samsung did you? I had the exact same problem with an S8 purchased directly from Samsung (got the free Gear VR promo) and I have Sprint.
There was no hotspot option anywhere in the setup menus. And of course, I did not notice this until 2 weeks later when I was on a trip. The hotel WiFi was messed up and I needed to use hotspot. It's not that it did not work, there was no option at all in Setup for Hotspot and Tethering.
I talked to Sprint, took it to a Sprint store for help, and talked to Samsung tech support. Nothing they all tried fixed it. Both Sprint and Samsung suggested the phone might be defective and I should pursue getting a replacement. That didn't make sense to me because WiFi and Cell Data were working fine, and hotspot is just software.
My fix was to do a full Factory Reset and then set it all up again. Tedious, but when it came back up, the Hotspot and Tethering option were there and it works perfectly now.
Recent update messed it up again?
Tried the adb method of Get/Push revealing Hotspot via Quick Tiles. Didn't work.
Any other ideas for regaining hotspot on the device? Without rooting?
Current date: Jan 7 2018.
i have same problem too, waiting for update

I just got me new Oneplus 5 and my carrier supports wi-fi calling but only on a very restricted amount of Android devices like Galaxy S6/7/8 so no official support for Oneplus phones but is there any way to force the activation on the 5 with an app or something else if you have a rooted device?

Wow, that sucks if it's true. Do you know if it works on unlocked versions of these phones? If it doesn't, it could be something the carrier added.
Just to rule out the obvious... You need to manually enable WiFi calling on OP5. It's a toggle switch in the "SIM & network" section in the settings menu.
If that doesn't do it you might try editing /system/build.prop and changing ro.product.brand and ro.product.model to a known working model.
No setting option to enable it is there on the OnePlus 5 but same Sim in an S7 has the option to enable!
I will look at the build prop
Let me know if that works.. ?

IMS dictates WiFi calling configuration. Hopefully you can spoof the device into thinking it's an approved one for your network?
I have the same issue on my networks in Canada. It's restricted to just a couple devices and when I did the build.prop edits I got the options but when I turn it on nothing happens as in Canada we need to accept a user agreement for it and that never comes up for me to activate it. So I either need to do that on an approved phone or live without it

It is not root making a difference it is you would probably need root to enable you to activate something on the phone if your carrier is not supporting the OnePlus for wifi calling!

I suspect there are some firmware files missing which it needs to use wifi calling, you could do an adb log cat to a file whilst making. a call (you have to be tethered to your pc) so you can post the logs here to see if anyone can help.
You could try using Hangouts as it uses wifi for calling etc
I'm on AT&T and I got my phone a few days before I actually switched to it. When I went through the settings without a sim inserted, I know I saw an option for wifi calling and enabled it. Now with the sim card in there, there is no trace of this option. I will be watching this thread now, as I've been pondering paying for a microclimate, but if this gets figured out, then I'm good to go.
I found a trick that works to enable the hotspot if you have an unlimited plan with no hotspot included. It works on my Verizon Note 8.
You follow everything in the video, except you only disable the red "mobile hotspot and tethering " app. Not the others.
It helps if you have Wi-Fi and mobile hotspot in the quick swipe down menu of your phone. Once you set up the wrong passworded Wi-Fi all you have to do is toggle them in the drop down. It's easy and fast.
Let me know if the link doesn't work.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...CC4wAw&usg=AFQjCNGLD66UrxdFo9tyLyXax3CAc0inCg
No go. I just get this error message no matter what when the hotspot is disabled - "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed."
On mine I have Wi-Fi sharing enabled in the hotspot settings and also make sure you only disable the one app, not all 3 like the video. Hope that helps. Not sure if it'll make a difference.
Attached a picture of the package disabler.
I thought I had wifi sharing on already, but I guess not. That did it, thank you!!
not sure if this will work for Verizon but I found this method on galaxy s8+ and works on sprint note 8.
Hotspot hack works here as well. Seems easier than the other method.
1. Download Shortcut Master Lite
2. Search for LTEfunctionality
3. Click on com.test.LTEfunctionality
4. Launch
5. Scroll down to LTE APN Setting
6. Add " ,dun " to APN2 LTE and EHRPD internet under APN type. That line should read default, mms, dun when you finish.
7. Native Hotspot should work. You may have to do this hack again if you update Profile.

I have a VZW N8 and nothing happens when I try to launch com.test.LTEfunctionality. I tried to modify the APN settings through ADB already, and that didn't seem to take either, so I think Verizon just has the APN settings locked up pretty tight.
Do you guys have carrier locked or unlock? I still have unlimited from 2009 and the hot spot works just fine without any of this on an unlocked version....

I'm on the locked VZW, but also still have the grandfathered unlimited.
If I knew that workarounds would be available for all the network specific features, I would have definitely preferred unlocked.
Though I would not have gotten anywhere near the deal I got for the locked VZW...
So in an effort to make this as convenient as possible, I made a Bixby quick command to perform the necessary actions.
First off, I had to install the app WIFI Prioritizer and set the wrong-passworded network as #1 priority, with auto switch on. My other wifi networks all have auto switch off.
Quick command as follows:
1- Turn off wifi
2- Turn on wifi
3- Turn on hotspot
4- Turn off wifi
The timing of Bixby's execution seems perfect, however, there's a big caveat...
It seems wifi-sharing is turned off every time after disconnecting from a wifi network (including just turning wifi off when connected to a network).
I have not figured out any way to have Bixby turn wifi sharing back on.
So basically, unless you never connect to wifi, the quick command won't work without also manually turning on wifi sharing.
If anybody has any suggestions to deal with the wifi sharing issue, please let me know!
I have the Verizon version of the phone. Which is technically unlocked but with the Verizon firmware. If it's like the vzw s8 then we should be able to flash the unlocked firmware to it and the hotspot will just work. But the Verizon firmware locks down the hotspot unless you pay, or find a hack around it.
Dr, so just to confirm you have the carrier specific locked version. That would explain why you need to do this work around.
I have a non carrier specific unlocked phone on VZW network which activates the hot spot just fine without any of this.
Only reason I'm posting is to help pin down who needs this mod.
Im also used to flashing the hotspot apps when I root a new phone, which is over of the main reasons I root however I don't need it with note 8.
Does an unlocked phone on Verizon still get throttled after 15GB of Hotspot Data? I had been using an S3 with Foxfi and never got a message about using Hotspot Data till yesterday. Was looking at possibly getting another unlocked Note8 to serve as a Hotspot if I wouldn't get hit after 15GB on Verizon's new unlimited plan.

Once I dl'd PDP from their page I could disable, but then I cannot select Mobile hotspot.
The best solution for Verizon phones is to flash the unlocked firmware onto your phone. Super easy and problem solved. The one downside is you will lose vvm and wifi calling, but I don't use those anyway. And you get rid of the Verizon bloat.

I am trying to find a guide for the unlocked verizon firmware. I just got my new phone today.
Would love your advice since I also have an unlimited plan and on my note 4 I used Fox-fi to get a hot spot

It is quite simple. Flash the Unlocked firmware on the phone using Odin/Prince Comsy's Odin, check the link below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-n950u-u1-t3685884/post74087340#post74087340
Optional: Set up the Video Calling (VoLTE) by following the steps from that Youtube video:

Don't forget to give thanks to the guys from these threads who made those things possible.

@Proweedsmoker: thanks for your post. i relied on it when i ordered my unlocked note 8. i have an unlimited data plan from 2004. the phone arrived yesterday; it "only" took 2 weeks to arrive. i went to verizon to get a micro sim card (since the sim in my note 3 is the larger version). they activated it and first thing i did was turn on the hotspot to see if i could get wifi on my note 3. it worked perfectly. huge relief; no rooting, flashing or potential brick-making procedures. i'm loving this note 8 so far.

It's a great phone but I keep going back to the V20 because of my 3 main reasons: Hi-Fi sound, Interactive 2nd Screen and the ability of picking up a call by bringing the phone to your hear.

Will that work on Tmobile SimCard as well of just Verizon?
What about AT&T? Will It work
I hope that I'm wrong but I'm about 100% sure that this will not work for AT&T. AT&T actually requires a Specialized or particular APK to work. In my previous phone Galaxy S7 Edge these apps were installed during flashing of the CSC
Does not work on Sprint Note 8.

These features will work out of the box on T-Mobile including WiFi Calling as long as you have the correct plan provisioned on your account.

Yup! ?
when i do the toggle provisioning in the self provisioning it keeps going back to disable, it wont stay enable. Any idea? Verizon, unlocked note 8
I wanted to add: For me, the Video calling option in settings wasnt there till a hard reboot. After that is exactly like the OP demo'd. Wish I had somebody to call to test lol.
Thanks OP.

Note 4 got Video Calling in Lollipop IIRC; was your device stock?

I was on stock until root was made available and been on that.
I tried this, but when i go to IMS Information everything is false and can't be changed. It also doesn't have the VZW VoLTE registration information at the bottom of that screen like you have. I see the VZW VoLTE profile under "IMS Profile", but forcing a manual register doesn't seem to do anything

If it is false call carrier to have imei whitelisted and reprovisioned, say it's for connectivity issues...bought from Samsung...afterwards you can see it change to true....you may have to ##SCRTN# to provision on your end...you may just need to update profile and prl...
I wonder if this will get wifi calling once I root. The rooting process uses a method of mixing boot files and essentially makes it a U1 rom with a Verizon csc but wifi calling isn't available. I'm going to give this a go to see if it'll enable it. If anyone has tried let me know. Thanks to the OP for this one.

Interested to know if this fixes wifi calling, if so that's the only reason I haven't checked out root - I get 0 signal at work, and depend on wifi calling for my primary cell number. Google voice works over wifi of course!

Any success with this?
Hey,
I can enable video calling but I cannot use it.
When I make a call, it just shows up for a second and turns off. Does anyone have this issue?
