I posted this question in the general Q&A forum, but it may be more pertinent to post my question in this device specific forum...
I am running the MDOB rom with the newest version and it appears that VZW has more deeply removed blocking mode from being accessed. I used to use quickshortcutmaker to create a back door icon for blocking mode, but since updating, the blocking mode appears completely removed. Any attempt to find or access blocking mode causes the settings app to crash. \
Unfortunately, blocking mode still appears enabled, but I can no longer access it to modify it or turn it off. Any suggestions on a solution? Are there any ROMs using the latest VZW software release that have a blocking mode toggle modded in?

I have looked and not found anything that would allow me to turn this back on. Not sure why ATT disables this when other carriers don't but if anyone knows of the file that needs to be modified with root access please post.
Hello Everyone,
I recently upgraded to CM 12.1 and discovered that my WiFi won't automatically connect to my router anymore if it doesn't detect access to the internet (I'm in China and Google is Blocked). I believe this explains why this is happening as there is internet and having to manually connect each time is annoying at least Is there a way to disable this "new feature" ?
Regards,
Bob
In Settings, got to WiFi, press the menu button in the top right and there should be an Advanced settings section or something similar (sometimes varies based on ROM/Language). Then untick the Avoid poor connection option. This should resolve your problem. If not, you may not have the correct firmware for 5.1.1
I already have Avoid poor connections unchecked. Any other way to fix this?
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Try disable mobile data before connect to wifi, maybe this way should help

I have the EXACT same problem - it really does happen because you're in China and the method of internet access testing is through Google servers blocked in here.
I'm still trying to figure out how to disable the test or maybe reroute the destination.
It would definitely be a temporary solution to make the VPN active 24/7 if you put it on the router instead of on the phone / computer etc.
Let us know if you find a solution!

this was a very popular and general problem for every Chinese user with google service device.
you have to root your phone and manually change the google server address to a local substitute site, or just turn off the google server detect.
the easiest way is to use an APK developed by Chinese to have all these things done in a click.

came here with a google search. this problem is generic to later android versions. i'm on cyanogenmod 12.1 which is i gather is android 5.1.
looking at DNS logs, it tries to access: http://connectivitycheck.android.com - which redirects to google and fails as it's blocked by the GFW.
just downloading the chinese apk to fix it... the link to it i found is: http://m.hiapphere.com/apk-org.foxteam.noisyfox.noexclamation
EDIT: so now got noexclamation the app running, but not sure it's doing anything. UI is in chinese, not sure what options to deal with and how. anyone have success with it?
EDIT2: it's like this: install the app. leave it at defaults where it's using the developers website for connectivity check. toggle it ON if it's not already (i believe needs root). reset network settings by toggling airline mode ON/OFFl. you're good.
however - conceptually better fix would is to take the "feature" OUT, not alter the server that it's checking the accessibility of. from the chinese thread, i gather this will get done by:
su
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
this seems to survive reboot as well. problem solved, end of monologue!
Hi folks,
I just switched my rooted custom rom HTC One M8 with the Galaxy S7 and now I am missing a few things (which was expected).
Is there a way to activate / deactivate airplane mode with Tasker or toggle mobile data even though Secure Settings is out of the picture (for now)?
I know this is not exactly a Galaxy S7 specific question but there may be a chance that someone else also switched from a rooted phone....
Additionally, I can't get Android Auto to work.

Yes, I was able to do this on my unrooted Z3C using Tasker and AutoInput. AutoInput emulates user swipes on the screen, meaning that you can pull down the notification menu and then enable/disable whatever toggle you want, including airplane mode.
So I have a G920T that is factory unlocked with an CSC being XAR that works perfectly most of the time. After I updated from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1, however, the mobile data toggle in the notification centre is gone, which according to my observation on the Internet happens to a lot of other users in the U.S. (except for Verizon users). I am reluctant to root as that would permanently disable me from using Samsung Pay, so I figured out a way to modify the system UI without root using a Windows computer and ADB commands:
1. Enable USB debugging in the developer mode
2. Connect the phone to the Windows computer
3. Run adb.exe in cmd on the computer
4. Input
settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles Wifi,Nfc,PowerSaving,RotationLock,Bluetooth,WifiCalling,Location,SilentMode,AirplaneMode,DormantMode,Flashlight,UltraPowerSaving,AllShareCast,Sync,SFinder,
and enter
It seems to work pretty well as the toggles can be moved, removed and added, as long as the syntax is correct. But when I try to get the data toggle, inputting MobileData, (as suggested by many other people on the Internet) doesn't work, neither do Data, CellData, or CellularData,. If I put Cellular, however, a mysterious toggle with an unfinished icon appears in my toggle tray saying "Emergency Calls Only", and if you click on it it's gonna display your recent data usage in the notification centre, with options to go into the data usage settings or "Done". Nonetheless, it still does not allow you to turn on/off your mobile data with one click like before. So I'm really just wondering: anyone knows what syntax I should use for the data toggle? Or it's basically impossible because Samsung has permanently removed this feature from non-Verizon U.S. phones?
Thanks!

Hello everyone . So after I got latest adhell 3 apk from mediafire and changed package name I installed it and got it activated but it doesn't seem to work https://imgur.com/a/K8G8Cmj. As you can see, I can't enable domain rules and firewall every time I press to enable the option , It says enabled but it still shows disabled. It doesn't seem to block ads because I still see some ads . Is there anything wrong with it ? cause I tried other build and got same result options always stay disabled .
