[how to] disable wifi power saving mode - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

Having trouble with your wifi dropping out? I was, until i found the 'service mode' dialer code using *#0011#: once you access the field, push the menu button for options and select 'wifi' from the dropdown(popup?) list. In there is an option to disable 'wifi power-saving mode'. It doesn't seem to be a solution for everybody, but it sure helped me! Also, I don't believe this sticks through a reboot. I didn't discover this by accident, I found it on the s3 forum posted by Robalboa, go here and thank him if it helps you as much as it helped me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271751&page=2
*this in absolutely no way implies i know anything more than reposting a link, use this feature at your own risk.

won't help me cause this phone rocks, but nice find man! :thumbup::beer:

Toggle Bluetooth with single button press with 'discoverable' mode

Hi, i'm hoping someone has managed to do this:
I have a fantastic little app that will toggle on/off my bluetooth connection that I have assigned to the side 'media' button. Unfortunately, it does not retain the 'make this device discoverable to other devices' option. I need to this to allow my car to connect automatically to my Treo.
I would love a solution that allows me to press a button and it turns on the bluetooth in discoverable mode. Has anyone managed to do this??
I've tried AE button with same results.
Will be very grateful for any help!
Thanks,
Sham
The program Phonealarm handles that quite nicely, although it is a bit overkill if that's all you need and might be more expensive than you're looking to pay for.
phone alarm is awsome does all the things you need at a great price and good support
imo the must have no1 app
that one piece of software that worth Its weight in gold! Thanks for pointing it out.
I Love this forum!
Many thanks
Sham
Glad to hear that it helped For me, one of the greatest values of Phonealarm is the developers interaction with the customers. If you go to the forums, you WILL find your answer, or the developer WILL fix your problem. I wish all of my software had that kind of support.

I've just discovered this for myself. I think the developer definitely has the right idea and keeps listening to his customers. Again, many thanks to you for pointing this out. It has honestly completed my device!

Problem with Widgetsoid on Android

So I`m new here and if my thread is not on the right place - sorry. And here it is my problem:
I`m using Widgetsoid Switcher Widget and have this very annoying problem that when i turn on something it not works (For example: I turn on my data service, widget indicates that it`s turned on but actually it's not. If I turned it on from the Settings menu the widget indicates it`s turned on and when I stop it from the widget it doesn`t stop). Same with WiFi and GPS... This thing is freaking me out so if somebody can help me it would be great or if you can tell me other app like that one with options for customization. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Try to uninstall, install and reboot directly after install (it's important!).
After go to global preferences and check "Disable all apn"
Create your widgets and it will be ok.
Now everythings is fine but Data Service still doesnt't work... Any ideas?
data toggle help
i had the same problem with the data/3g toggle on my htc evo. what you have to do is go to "settings->wireless & networks->then scroll down and make sure there is a check mark in the "mobile network" setting" in order for the widget to control it the setting must first be enabled. it took me and the dev 3 days to find this out.
also if that doesn't work go into the app itself and as soon as it opens it you should see something at the top that says data toggle mode. make sure that setting is set to "APN toggle" and not "APN rename"
hope this helps. remember to rep if it did
Thanks man
No problem

I had a similar problem today, it looks like the data switch in Widgetsoid places a dash in front of your AccessPoint name in order to block data transfer and removes that dash when you click switch again.
After messing with Widget I was not able to connect to net, I installed, uninstalled, etc, and then I noticed that APN list was empty, I had to add the APN again and restart it, I think (as said above) that you need the data to be ON then do a restart in order for Widgetsoid to properly read the status.
If you're rooted, use the new "root method" to toggle data. It doesn't mess with your APN & it works flawlessly for me. It's the first time I've had a data toggle that actually works.
A simple method
FIX = Settings>Location & Security>Select Device Administrators> *Uncheck Widgetsoid
Uninstalled
Thanks to: mr.noobsalot
I know this is an old thread, but where is the global preferences on version 3.4.1 it doesnt appear when I click apply.
Im using a HTC sensation and ICS.
Thanks

Stay FAR away from Widgetsoid. It can slow a Galaxy S5 down to a Crawl. Your Dialer will not function, Your phone will not respond. Its trying to load your phone with Ads or something and keeps your CPU busy, whether its a dual core or quad doesn't matter. Developer does not respond and does not seem to care. After uninstalling this App, the phone feels "new" again.
I believe this app is some type of Spyware/Malware combo. Why does it need access to my Contacts? Something very fishy and the developer never responds. It's a great Widget when it works but certain things about it don't seem right. Uninstalled!

Disable airplane mode confirmation dialog

Hi there,
after quite a bit of searching both on google and on this forum, I cannot find anything about this, although I am sure I am not the first one wanting this tweak...
My Samsung sgs2 will open a confirmation dialog when I try to enable the airplane mode by selecting the apropriate "phone option" by long-clicking the side button.
Does anyone know what do I need to modify to disable the confirmation dialog? I mean: I already long-clicked a physical button to get into the menu... what are the chances that I did that unintentionally??
Thank you!
Hello
It occurs in ICS (4.0.3 for me).
This may also concern other confirmation popups. If it is doable only in a ROM, just tell us, but do not leave us in ignorance.
If someone has not the confirm dialog, could he give us his config (ROM, kernel, ..) so we can try to investigate what enables that.
Many thanks to testers & analyzers there.
Regards

hi guillame
sorry for bothering you
but ı need to ask you
can you add bln(notification) feature into omni please?
ı know this is required kernel support but what about this app :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
also ı want customizable keyboard so much ı dont know this request was posted on before
ı mean this http://imgim.com/3401inciv6957156.jpg
ım waiting your answers thanx and with my best regards :good:
I know this sounds REALLY petty.. I'm so impressed with Omni its untrue. On my s3 its faultless.. the ONLY thing I can criticise (for purely poke holes feedback - come on - its awesome!) is when using Swiftkey (or alt keyboard) when the phone auto locks whilst in a text or Hangouts etc and it being on charge (USB) ActiveDisplay constantly displays 'Choose input method' along with 'USB debugging connected'. 'Choose input method' keeps it awake and every few seconds refreshes the notice on screen and doesn't disappear. Can ' Choose Input Method' and 'USB Debugging' be added to the Low Priority notification list like Google Now?
I know this is like saying you don't like the wheel nut covers on your new Bentley but just feeding back!
Loving your work!
EDIT: typo/grammer... had a serious drink and posted rather than lurked - also very occasionally looses the top menu (icons and ability to swipe down) - not found out why - will investigate circumstances -but a lock/unlock solves it. Really no biggie!! Thank you!
Android Device Manager
When trying to ring the device after locating it in Android Device Manager, it rings ONCE as Active Display kills it rather than the 5mins which will help you find the phone. This should be blacklisted if possible

Can't grant permissions for Accessibility features?

I'm trying to enable Accessibility features (e.g. the Universal Switch). However, I can't enable any of the features, as I can't for whatever reason press the "OK" button when the dialog asking for permissions pops up; I've tried it for different Accessibility features, pressing "OK" does nothing ("CANCEL" takes me out of the dialog, as expected). For reference, a screenshot of the dialog I'm referring to is located at imgur with the URL identifier "Lwg0seF" (I'm a new user, forgive me for not being able to directly post the screenshot here :/ )
I have no idea how to circumvent this. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
Please help, I can't use my phone properly unless I get this working. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I don't know how this happened, but I've just tried it again (haven't made any changes), the permission granting works now. It seems the problem solved itself somehow.
did you installed a rom that was debloated of samsung software ?
because i´ve had this problem before and it turned out the rom i was using needed the samsund TTS and voice software for me to use the accessibility option i needed
not sure if this is your case, hope it helps
