Widget to toggle mobile data?

I am looking for a simple widget or way to turn mobile data on/off like the one I used in Cyanogen Mod 7 on my Inspire.

There's an App for that
Widgetsoid2.x
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2

I don't think it actually turns it on and off like it does in CM ROMS. I believe it just takes you to the screen so you can turn off(uncheck) the data.
I believe only AOSP ROM have that options to actually turn it off directly

No luck with Widgetsoid2.x most of the widgets including the toggle of mobile data, the flashlight and more don't work on this phone. Thanks though.
I found a fairly easy solution to this. In the pull down menu there is both a WiFi toggle and an Airplane mode toggle. So, I just hit Airplane Mode then the WiFi toggle to turn my WiFi back on.
This is a HUGE battery saver, no real need for me to have LTE or any mobile data on most of the time because I am within range of WiFi. Seems that this has allowed me killer battery life.
Now I just need to hope for or figure out how to write an app myself which will detect a valid WiFi network, then automatically turn off mobile data. That would be nice! I think this was/is possible in CG7 but can't remember.

it works on the T989 version, so seems like the LTE is not compatible with the 4G switch in the widgets

Duh, just remembered that airplane mode also turns off the phone, voice, texting etc.. Ha ha.. Not what I was after. Oh well, back to needing a solution if anyone has one.

in Widgetsoid2 you have the option to control the data flow with the widgets, even if the LTE/4G widget doesn't work
have you tried those?

Do you mean the Mobile Data widget? If so, I did try that one but even when I turn it on, it doesn't work. Doesn't cut off mobile data at all or it brings me to the screen where I can turn it off myself. I can't remember which because I uninstalled it already.

this is partly why i switched to BeastMod since it's in the notification bar

Try 'Simple Mobile Data Link' by Marc Ole Bulling from Android Market. I installed it on my Skyrocket and it doesn't use AT&T data at all! So no more surprise data usage bills

won't have to worry myself once my original iPhone shops, unlimited data loophole

I will adding this to status bar hopefully before the weekend is over on my stock ROM posted in development section

Push Notifications

It seems push notifications works in sleep mode in EDGE/3G for me.
I don't know if it was written before but this information may help you.
When you enter Samsung Apps, It installs an app called "Samsung Push Service". After that push notifications works perfectly.
I'm using JVKPE stock rom.

Thanks! Helped me alot!

That app keeps your phone awake, that's why notifications work.
This problem is now solved by XDA_bam in his latest kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675.

Are your sure that It keeps the phone awake?

Not so sure, but you can check it. Install CPU Spy (it's free), then open it, press the menu button->Reset timers and turn the screen off. Leave it like this for a while, then turn the screen on and Refresh CPU Spy stats. See the percentage of Deep sleep, it should be above 80%.

I guess you are right that ruins battery and I guess this app is for pushing Samsung Apps's notifications... While the phone is awake notifications works. That explains everything.
So, Is there a way to solve this issue without a custom kernel? I'm quite happy with my phone and don't wanna plug it to the odin again.

No, unless you contact xda bam for his patch and u patch it to your stock kernel and flash it... just flash the kernel, its very simple

doesn't work to me
I have installed the both Samsung Push Service and the XDA_bam kernel. None of them appear to work. As soon as the phone enters the deep sleep mode, no notifications arrive.
Wi-Fi works just fine, Gmail notifications arrive even earlier than to my webmail interface. 2G/3G doesn't work properly (it only works a few minutes after the screen is turned off).
I'm on a rooted XXKPH, XDA_BAM kernel version 10.
Any ideas? I'm losing patience with this phone and timely emails are VERY important for me

You are not the only one with problems. See if this can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23376556#post23376556

You're still on XXKPH??? try XXKPQ or XXKPU along with BCK 10 rc 14.
And do not install samsung push service... that is meant for use with samsung ChatOn and is a battery hog.

Did as you said. Installed a clean XXKPE, then a clean XXKPQ and after that - the BCK rc14 (cache wiped, restarted the phone for about 5 times). No luck.
Few minutes after the screen is off notifications arrive, but later, when the phone is in the deep sleep mode, they either arrive considerably late (e. g. 10 minutes late), or do not arrive at all.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Hmmm... try with this kernel and report.. http://www.mediafire.com/?5rq4amddbhjdhub
Try over both 2G/3G and wifi.... and make sure you set wifi sleep policy to never...
also if you are using gmail, open the app and go to settings... go to account settings and uncheck the notify once option.
Also make sure Juicedefender and other such apps are not running.

May I ask how BAM kernel solved the notifications issue? Does it preventing the phone to go to sleep mode?

No luck yet

First of all, thank you for being so helpful.
I did everything as you told. However, just as before, WiFi notifications appear to be working constantly, but the 2G / 3G notifications stop working after a while (I suppose when the phone goes to deep sleep).
So until now, I've tried the B10, B10 rc10 and B10 rc14. None of them appear to fix the issue.
I'm also using Launcher Pro, but I suppose this is not related.
EDIT: I've posted about this issue in the XDA_bam's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675&page=36), so maybe the guys there may have other ideas. Thanks again for all your help.

Need help with tethering since new update.

T mobile us, rooted unlocked, never put custom Rom on it. I used to be able to tether even when screen shut off, now once the screen shuts off the data stops until I turn the screen back on. Any ideas how to fix this besides leaving screen on?

Not yet.

Bummer.

This actually had me thinking, since google play music is running before the screen shuts off and it constantly draws data, maybe thats why it stays active even when the screen is off. So I am going to have to test this theory by loading a huge webpage on the tethered device to see if you need a constant demand for data for tethering to keep working, I suppose I could just a youtube video.
Edit: My theory panned out and may lead to a fix. This is what I did
1) Turn on FoxFi an make sure screen doesn't time out 2} Tether my Asus Infinity to it making sure the phone screen doesn't time out 3) Start a long youtube video using the youtube app, I tried a 7 minute one. 4) Turn screen off on the phone and I was able to watch the whole video while tethered to my one s
My conclusion is if there is a constant data draw the tether will keep working even when screen is off. So they have enabled a rapid cutoff of wifi if your screen shuts off with no data draw, if there is a draw the data will keep flowing.
Test it out for yourself and share your results, off to try netflix.
Edit 2: Further testing confirms this on my device, This time I used netflix streamed dark of the moon and it continued to allow the tether to work. I dont want to burn my months data out testing this so we need a few more people to try this.

I have the EU rom but I'm experiencing the same issue.
I'm using Airdroid and it stops responding as soon as the screen shuts off. I can confirm that Ready2Mosh is right, since if I turn on the web radio and then shut off the screen Airdroid works flawlessly.
I have never noticed this before 4.0.4 so I'd guess the bug wasn't there. This is a major bug that has to be fixed soon by HTC.
What about 3g connection? Does it shut off too?

Does it do it if you just use the built in tethering app?
I don't think it is really a bug with android per se vs design
that is sleeping the app as backgrounded since screen is off and not being over riden anymore.

You're right. Tethering isn't put to sleep for me.
I can confirm the issue with airdroid and other apps though. I'm going to open a new thread in order not to hijack this one.

I tried airdroid and that works fine for me though.

Airplane toggle

I no longer have use to any airplane toggle since the 4.3 update. I've factory reset my phone without any help. I've also lost the ability to auto rotate since the update. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm currently using the pull down notification bar to switch to airplane mode. I was using a widget to switch, but since the 4.3 update, airplane mode widgets don't work. As for the screen rosin, I have it set on auto but it No longer works.

hmmm try under settings accessibility or display to check if auto rotate is enable and i believe gives options of wat degrees to rotate.i was using my bros fone earlier trying to remember the settings . if not i think i even saw it settings/ scroll down..if everything is Enable .u could try an app called ultimate rotation control for the meanwhile.
as in for the widget ..all i can think of just remove it from ur screen and put it back on again .
sorry man cant help much now i need sleep
dont worry ur not the only one with 4.3 issues . my brothers fone lags

Auto rotate is enabled and I've tried a couple of wi-fi toggles
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I can't be a lot of help but it's not uncommon for 3rd party toggles to not work properly after an update to a stock rom. For that you would do better to contact the app devs. As for the screen rotation, no idea honestly. Maybe get a sensor calibration app and see if it detects you rotating your phone. I'm assuming that you're on stock and that you've checked the rotation in multiple apps.

[Q] Permanent Disable airplane mode option in Custom ROM

I'm working on permanently disabling airplane mode in a slightly customized ROM I'm working on. Essentially, I want nothing to change when a user clicks the airplane mode button.
This is on the Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 (sch-i705).
I'm hoping for a simple solution (i.e. deleting some module) that will disable the functionality behind airplane mode or adjust which radios toggle when airplane mode is enabled.
I'm not sure where to start - right now I'm slogging through an upacked system.img with no success, and haven't found anything in my xda/google searches. Ideas of what files I could remove or modify?

So far I've tried looking through existing modules to see if airplane mode is like wifi (ie has drivers or something that can somehow be removed). It was a longshot, and I didn't come up with anything.
Anyone have any idea what I could modify in the system image to adjust which radios airplane mode toggles?

Still haven't figured this out - anyone have any ideas?

Out of curiosity... why?

I'm working on designing an educational tablet that can be remotely managed (new content can be pushed, new apps can be added for the students, etc.). The issue is, if a student accidentally (or on purpose) turns on Airplane Mode, I would lose my connection with the tablet and be unable to interact with it, or restore it remotely. Not allowing airplane mode would be an easy way to avoid this problem.
It doesn't seem like there is an easy way to do this though.. I'm trying to sort out whether I could change the radios Airplane Mode toggles, or maybe change the UI so Airplane mode isn't offered as an option (right now it can only be accessed by pushing the power button, because I have access to settings restricted)
Any ideas?

That sounds like that solves your problem to remove airplane mode from the power menu.
