Missing data toggle - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

Didnt see anybody make a post about this so I figure I would post a new thread. Is anybody missing the data toggle button? I know Samsung is natorious are not putting them in but I believe in some of the other note 7 forums people have the data toggle in the quick panel.

The toggle is hidden, but you'll need Nova launcher or App Shortcut Maker. Here's the thread on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-note-7/help/q-volte-settings-t3443296
And here's the detailed instructions from the thread above:

I don't know why you'd need to toggle mobile data, though, as that's what airplane mode is for.

Except airplane mode effectively disables all signal transmissions. Wifi Bluetooth and gps included.

Talking about that data toggle. its more convenient to just swipe down and press the button vs going to settings connections then data.

Ya I noticed earlier today that the mobile toggle wasn't available as a quick toggle. Unfortunately without root, I doubt you can add it in. I remember adding it on my note 4.. I cant remember the exact way I added it back it because it's been so long. All you do is add the " ;mobile data " to where all the another toggles were listed.

Is VOLTE/SMS working with mobile data off? Because that maybe a reason to restrict mobile data in some other ways. I think my phone is factory set not to update unless on wifi and even if I go to play store myself, when on LTE, it will give me warning about large file download over cell network, which I would have to override, to actually start the download. Other traffic is miniscule, couple Kb here and there, but it is interesting that programs I haven't used for days still access network. Another reason to keep asking Google to make forcestop apps easier? The left button to close all apps is a step in right direction, but I'm not sure what it does (just makes you feel better?), because apps still running in the background and can be killed. Maybe word "closing" has a different meaning at Google, that I'm used to.

Sprint Hero Mobile data toggle??

Is there a reason why they have not created a Mobile Data Toggle on/off switch for the none rooted Hero using either ADW or LauncherPro UI other than the only option of using the end button and scrolling down to turn it off

All 3rd party widget apps say it's because it requires system access or something to that extent. There is one app that can do it. Download JuiceDefender. If you don't care for its battery saving functions, just open the app and disable it. After it's installed though, you can add a "Toggle mobile data" widget which acts just the way you want.
On stock running sense you can hold the power button and toggle it on it off by selecting mobile network

I did install JuiceDefender a couple of days ago but cannot get the data stream to work, it is X out, any suggestions on how to get it to work, again remember I am on Sprint, I sent the developer an email but have not received a reply from him as of yet
I use a widget called smoda widget from the market. That takes care of it. I think it needs root I forget.

Basically, just disable JuiceDefender. Then add the "Toggle mobile data" widget to your homescreen! You don't have to fiddle with JuiceDefender if you don't need it. Just use the toggle widget

I added a OOPs to my post, I had Wifi on,LOL, but I do have a question for you, I tried putting the widget on another page, as I am not crazy about the icon, but when I do put it on another page, I cannot get the JD icon off the notication bar, even when disabled, any clue, can you try it, I assume it has to be on the home screen
Open the main app, on the bottom click on Advanced mode if you haven't yet. On the top to the right Disabled/Enabled click on Notification. Notification is an option only if JD is enabled. If JD if disabled you shouldn't see the notification icon. Note, JD being on and Data being on are 2 different things, you follow?
Thanks Bud !!

Disable LTE

i miss the quick access to disable my mobile data/LTE/4G connection on the S5. S4 had it right at the top. Best i can find is a widget called 'Data ON-OFF'. Couple other apps/widgets would turn it off, but not back on. i would have to go into the settings, more networks, mobile networks, and check the box by mobile data.
anyone know of a way to get this in the drop down menu in the top? On the S4 it was just a swipe and touch on the 'mobile data' button.

yes, follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721550
And it will add the disable/enable data to your notification panel and quick toggles. Some carriers have removed that quick toggle from the panel.
Note that this will just disable/reenable all data, if you need to specifically disable like LTE only and fall back to 4G, you will need a app like phone info from the app store.

But with our AT&T phones not able to root would we be able to do that? In the tutorial it mentions needing root. Thats why I am asking
Yeah, I forgot that you are all locked sown on AT&T variants. You'll need to wait for a root method and then this will work.

[Q] tasker WiFi tether control

I'm trying to enable WiFi tether with tasker for arunchained. I have the secure settings app and it doesn't toggle WiFi tether. It comes up as an error when running the task. Anyone have any luck with this?
Same issue here and have seen it on several other threads..... have not seen a solution to this yet. I've used Tasker and Trigger in the past with no problems, but can't get either to turn Hotspot on/off.
Strange...
I just tried with both the built in Tasker toggle and Secure Settings and both times Wi-Fi Hotspot turned on without a problem.
What's the error?

I'm running stock and always have, prefer vanilla Android.
As to Secure Settings not working on 5.1.1, I wouldn't know since I haven't used it in some time. Last time probably was just prior to posting in this thread (almost 4 months ago).
Sorry, no help here...

I found a wrokaround that allows you to still tether automatically with Tasker. I posted my results here in the Tasker Groups page. More or less you simulate screen taps to use the standard phone quick setting in the notification pulldown window. Send a PM or hit me up on Hangouts if you need any help figuring it out.
Thanks @andrewjt19 I'll have to give this a go later! I actually found an app that will toggle Wi-Fi tether automatically, but it is paid. I wonder what method the app uses to do it, I never checked on a debugger and I'm not even sure I would know what I am looking at. It is a shame to have to pay for something that should be such a simple procedure.
The app is called toggle WiFi hotspot 5.0 by Erwin Goslawski.

I found this widget and bought it too. It works well. I guess I'm glad I found an alternative methods of this stops working at some point. The only downside to my method is that the screen must be on and off the user is interacting with the device when the script runs, it could interfere this not activating the intended purpose. But overall it's simple and efficient. Thanks for sharing this widget though.
taPpeD fROM my nExUs 6
I had been having this problem on my 5x and just found a solution with xposed. I installed the xposed module 'x tether' which says it enables tethering for the moto x phones and afterwards tasker is able to enable / disable the wifi hotspot. This is the first thread that came up on google when I searched for this problem so I thought I would post here in case someone else encounters the same problem.

Q's lots of: Oreo can't figure out, find stuff, or how to do stuff. Ongoing.

N6 Oreo 8.1 [AOSiP-8.1-Official-shamu-20180617] TWRP & open_gapps-arm-8.1-micro-20180623.
Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?
How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?
I have other questions but I've been tweaking hard on rooting this, exploring & trying to figure N6 (new to me) & Oreo.
So I'll add other questions.
Almost all my progress so far due to ktmom, & Strephon Alkhalikoi. Starting here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481/page93
Post #928
Done a lot of searching, figuring & fixing on my own as well.
"Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?"
Use a different OpenGApps package.
"How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?"
Search for a mod to enable it. I'm not familiar with the ROM you're using - I use Nitrogen - so I don't know if there is a setting for it built in to the ROM.
Most kernel apps such as ka mod, or ex manager will enable what your looking for. Being you are running aosip its cooked with ex kernel which has double tap to wake. As far as Google...maybe try different gapps.
Let me also suggest that you read through the thread where the ROM was downloaded as there is always gems hidden away.
And I kinda suggest that using the stock open Gapps package with a config file to prevent the install of unwanted apps help you ensure all of the frameworks you need are installed.
You can create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki I linked to in the other thread and then reboot to recovery and flash the new Gapps setup. The install script will remove the old packages and install the new ones based on any config file available.

Would I lose my non-Gapp apps?

No, as long as the data partition is not getting wiped, you won't lose play store apps. And there's no reason to wipe any partition for this exercise. The ones you flash in recovery go to system.

I have Double Tap to Sleep not Wake. So I'll happily ask for more ideas for that.
I imagine I will take your suggestion to flash stock open Gapps & write a create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki. Not quite yet. I want to transfer my pdf, epub, photos, vids, get shortcuts sorted & just get used to my N6 before that.

Yes, sorry you're right. I don't use that. It's possible it's activated through a kernel app.

So I'd have to flash the specific kernel? Anybody got this licked with a specific kernel please let me know.
How do I turn off cellular data? I don't see a data icon in the notification bar. There is a wifi icon but whenever I turn off wifi cellular data starts up. I don't want that.
Do I need Titanium Backup to disable system apps? For instance I don't like the default file manager. Or is this an instance for reflashing open Gapps editing out the File manger in the config file?
What is the best way to disable ads systemwide? I'm using Blockada. Or is Adaway, Ablock or something else the way to go?

The AOSiP room comes with Elemental Ex kernel. Look at settings -> System -> About phone. I don't bother but I believe you can just install the Ex kernel app to manage settings. You'll need to read an Ex kernel thread.

I have no idea. Maybe it's not optimized for Oreo, maybe another app or mod is conflicting, maybe battery optimization needs to be turned off.

I have a replacement File Manager (OSS). So I'd like to disable (disappear it from app drawer) or uninstall it.
Thanks for notification dragging tip. As far as ad blocker using Netguard from XDA through F-Droid. Had a scare optimized everything for battery usage. Stuck at Google screen. Held power button till off, turned on undid what I did OK so far.
OH btw I have sort of double/triple tap to wake thing working. Doesn't always work. And it's always proceed by picking up or turning over the phone & the ROMs crossing swords clock popping up 1st. Then I tap away & get to the lockscreen. Not sure what I did.
What happens if I do a Factory Reset? I know all data gets wiped. But does it stay Rooted, on the Same ROM with the same open GAPPS? And if I do a Nandroid & restore it is it Exactly the same?

Try installing EX Kernel Manager and going to Gestures and enabling Double Tap2Wake. If support for DT2W is built into your current Kernel as previously mentioned then that should enable it.
I think I have DT2W sussed. If lay down the N6 on it's front & then turn it over DT2W works perfectly.

Battery optimization is the same as "doze". It's a feature to help reduce the drain apps can make on the battery. The only apps I manually have set to not optimized are Tasker, k9 mail, Termux (because it has some long scripts that run overnight) and Auto tools plug-in to Tasker.
If you factory reset, only data, cache and dalvik are wiped. This is true whether the wipe is done through the ROM in settings, or using the default factory reset through TWRP. Any apps installed to system (e.g. the open gapps you flashed with the ROM) will still be available. Root, because it's installed into the boot partition, will still be available. But the root app (e.g. Magisk manager) will need to be reinstalled after boot. All user apps, which are installed into the data partition will be wiped as well as updates to the apps on system that were downloaded from the play store.

The DT2W is tied to the gesture "lift to check" (settings->display->advanced->ambient display). I *think* this association is required because of changes in the Google code that prevent apps from doing (certain) things with the display off.

How do I assign Speed Dial #s?
When I long press a # I don't even get "no number has been assigned to this speed dial".
All I found so far are stupid Favorites or make a shortcut for a contact. If there's no Speed Dial that's REALLY stupid.
Thanks all.

You don't. That is what Favorites are for, as they are more efficient than speed dial. In fact, the dialer has never had speed dial. The only long press button is the number 1, and that is set for your voicemail.

I was afraid of that.
Why not offer both? Grrr frusty Speed Dial is easier for me. I don't want to look at Favorites. I want to open the Dialer & long press a number.
For instance in Speed Dial I'd assign 3-5 #s for personal contacts & 3 #s that are shtf #s.
I don't want to even think of the shtf #s let alone look at them in a Favorites page.
But when the shtf I just want to long press a #.
zapjb said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because speed dial is woefully inefficient and unnecessary on a smartphone. Dumbphones need it because they lack a quick method of dialing a desired number. With a smartphone, you have your most frequently dialed numbers on the Favorites page, with no need to remember which number a particular contact is located at. A tap on their picture and you've dialed them, and more quickly than with a long press of a digit.

I find Speed Dial necessary.
I don't want to look at shtf #s on a Favorites page while calling my happy, happy, joy, joy friends & family.
But when the shtf & I need to give/receive help I just want to long press a #.

Add mobile data toggle

So does anyone know how to add the mobile data toggle into the pulldown where all the other toggles are? I was able to do it with some adb commands but after upgrading to oreo I now get a syntax error when trying to do it. I have att note 8 and they like to hide the toggle. If there is someone with a different note 8 and knows how to use adb do you mind helping me out and pull the stuff from your phone? If yes leave a comment and I'll post what you need to do. I am not rooted so I need to do the adb. Thanks
In my phone it's there as standard. UK Note 8 Oreo
Yeah, you just need to configure it, no need for adb.

Att takes it out so there is no mobile data toggle. If I want to turn mobile data on I have to go into a few settings to get to it. I used to be able to run a few adb commands and I would add the toggle back in but it doesn't work with oreo. I like to be able to toggle it on and off. I don't like to have to go into numerous things to turn it on and off. When I run the command now it gives me a error.
Here is the link in case anyone wants to look. IF someone can run the first command in adb that has the mobile data toggle and post here I would appreciate it. Thanks

Oh, I wasn't expecting that. Don't know why they would do this, maybe some customers toggled it by accident and complaint that Internet is not working? Hmm...
So if customers don't know what they are doing regular people have to be treated like little people now too lol, no it's because they want control to keep data advice at All times! Otherwise you would be able to have a widget huh!!
