Flashing Bluetooth Discover Icon in Tray - FIXED! Thanks!

So, I have noticed that a lot of the newer roms have a discover icon flashing in the system tray. Is there a way to disable that? Its really irritating, and I like to leave bt discover on all the time.
Thanks!
I've tried looking in the forums and on google, but I havent found anything helpful

Go to Settings > Today > Items and uncheck the BT connection

This isnt on the today screen its in the tray... see attached screenshot.
The only items I have on my today screen are HTC home, battery status, resco and IM+ but none of those applications have those features, and when I have everything tunred off and just a plain today screen it still does it.
I just flashed my friends phone... turned on bt discover and the icon is there.. its so irritating what can I do to get rid of this thing!?
Thanks!

Battery Status
Have you disable tray launch in battery status?

I use the tray launch stuff from battery status, but the flashing bluetooth icon is not part of battery status. Like I said, I just flashed my friends phone and have not installed battery status yet and it still does it. I think its part of the new WM6.1 roms

It’s in the Bluetooth file sharing settings. If you select Setting>Connections>Bluetooth>FTP>Enable File Sharing (check) the icon is always flashing. I’m sure it’s some registry setting that can be modified to fix it.

For what exactly? as i said this does not appear to be related to any today screen plugins

go to start\settings\connections\bluetooth
under bluetooth go to timeout tab
you'll see "Turn off Visible mode:"
select "after 1 minute" in the dropdown menu.
wait for 1 minute & the flashing is gone in the tray.
hope this help.

Thats a timeout for discovery mode... so of course after 1 minute when discovery mode turns off, that icon will go away.

All you have to do is turn off "Discoverable".
Any Bluetooth item you have already paired with will still work, so there is no need to have discoverable on all the time, is there?

if you have paired devices no need to have the discover me on, this is only use when you want new devices to see you . . .

There is none, it just activates/deactivates WiFi when you click the icon
Its a console application..

You should try action screen.
It has your one click wifi toggler and also bluetooth toggler.
And much more just take a look

Action Screen is all that I need...

Action Screen only makes sense if your device didn't already come with a radio toggle screen. My HTC Advantage already has one of those screens, so 'Action Screen' is worthless to me.
elmalote: Good work. This is very helpful for me because I use SPB PocketPlus and I've always wanted a desktop icon that activates WiFi without having to go to a separate screen. Any plans to make a Bluetooth toggle?

Great work elmalote!

Yeah, a bluetooth toggle would compliment your wifi toggle perfectly. You could probably even package them together.

wait how do i use this .cab file?!

put file in your device and tap it with stilus

Thanks for creating & sharing elmalote!

Hi Elmalote,
thanks for yr sharing~ It's great work~
Btw, could u work on Bluetooth toggle button (in discoverable mode)?
Thanks again~

I would like to see a gprs-toggle button. It's easy to find wifi and bt togglers but I can't seem to find a simple gprs-toggle programme... Maybe that's an idea?

There is a file named "DataDisconnect.exe" under Windows folder. You can make a shortcut and use it as quicklink.

You don't need this. Data Connection is being auto activated, when it's necessary.

Apps / power control widgets to switch between 2G/"4G" ?

Hello everyone, this is the first phone that I am using with data (yup, i've been using smartphones without a data plan). so I was wondering what "power control" widgets or shortcuts out there that could switch between 2G and 4G with just 1 click. The reason I wanna do this is that 2G saves battery while I'm not using the phone.
If I am not wrong, most of the power control widgets only "take" you to the setting page and you have to manually check the "use 2G only" box. But then I've also heard of some power control widgets do APN renaming of some sort.. no idea how that works.
in short: Please suggest a widget program that could switch between 2G/"4G" with just 1 click AND that program doesnt drain battery
thank you

I like Switch Pro. Not only does it have this switch but it has about 12 others all in one widget. You can also customize it color wise.

2G 3G OnOff by CurveFish toggles between 2G and 4G on my phone with the widget (no sending to setup screen). Don't be fooled by the name though, mine goes from 2 - 4 and back.

Whoops! Sorry, it does send you to the setup screen. I was thinking of another app I have that shuts the network off without going to the setup screen.
Sorry for the confusion!

I use SuperPower with Sidekick installed. Works great to switch with one button press, or automatically after a certain amount of idle time and/or battery level, etc ... Great power management app in general.

I thought switchpro widget only takes you to the settings? can you confirm that it does indeed switch 2g/3g with 1 click?

I use it all the time. Just one click. It also has just one click to turn data completely off. I think switch pro is the best option because you can get 8 widgets in one row.

Hmmm..
I believe that Elixir has that and there widget takes literally no power, and it can display everything including the 3g/2g switch.

4g switch on the app isnt either working or its grayed out. Not sure if its cause im using leaked GB or not but its the same for my Power Control widgets.
Still looking for the 2g/4g toggle widget and have yet to find it?

Switch Network Type 2G/3G from SoftXPerience.
It stays invisibly in the notifications drop-down screen and takes me to the settings page in a single click.
It's a simple, instant shortcut I've found more accessible than a widget.

SuperPower, requires root and a patch but it will automatically swap between 2G/4G (listed as 3G in the app). You set conditions for the switch, or if you want to do it manually you can do it from the notification bar or with a shortcut on your desktop. So far it's the only app I've found that doesn't just take you to the settings screen.

try toggle data. It's a simple one-click widget. Works perfectly on the g2x.

Hi Erislover:
How exactly do you set up the APN's to make sure MMS works. Can you by any change provide step by step instructions?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure on that. You could always just check the box to keep it enabled, hit the toggle so data is off, and then have a friend send you an MMS to see what happens. If it works, try to access a webpage to make sure data truly is off. If you can get the MMS and the web isn't working (and 4g isn't showing), you should be saving juice while still getting MMS's.
I'm super ignorant when it comes to APN's...not messing with the nightlies for just that reason!

PIN Lock & Standard Lockscreen used together

I want to use a PIN (and need to really for my work email exchange account) - how can I also use the standard CM11S lockscreen with it?
The idea being to slide that down, and then get the PIN screen pop up?
I cannot see an option or combination for it in the default settings, so any ideas?
I'm rooted and TWRP'd up, so happy to flash a mod if anyone can suggest one?

When you select PIN you enter the PIN first and then the screen automatically slides down.

Yeah I just want to see the standard lockscreen first, then enter the PIN, so that I get the equaliser and camera widget etc.
Right now I just get the plain old PIN entry screen when I turn the screen on, I found the minimise pin entry button, but that just gives the padlock icon at the bottom of the screen to drag up which isn't very cool!

I actually don't think you can edit that. I know there is an Xposed Module that allows you to have the quick circle, and THEN your password/pin/pattern, but that is for the stock Android lockscreen and not CM11s lockscreen, so I would assume that won't work. The lockscreens are the most difficult things to customize for whatever reason.

It seems they've changed quite a bit in the lockscreen; there still isn't an option to do what we want though.
Oh well, can't have it all I guess.

Indeed, but what i hope is with android L they will update the lockscreen to have notifications built in and allow a secure lockscreen with their design, that would be ace ! :victory:

Quick Settings Toggle

Just received the Mi 10 Pro. Anyone advise on the quick settings toggle when swipe down? There are only 12 options unlike previous phones and no way to change their order as far as I can find... the settings wheel in the top corner takes you to phone settings. Thanks in advance guys.

Hi.
I have MIU version 11.0.10 on the global model And he doesn't show up either. With how useful it is.

This is a known issue, when restoring from a backup. Just reset the quick toggles: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/how-to-reset-restore-quick-setting-to-t3671583
This should fix it

Thx for that... no backup as first Xiaomi... and the link there to Google+ is no more...

Hola
1. This is a known bug but seemingly only affecting certain people.
2. The easiest way to fix this without the tedious resetting of your phone approach is to download System UI Tuner and reset the Quick Settings to the default configuration. You'll find the Edit button thereafter.
3. I had this issue on my Mi 10 - Global version running on the latest v11 of Xiaomi.EU custom ROM.
Hope this helps.

The link is not needed... Run the adb command... You might have to enable USB debugging and USB debugging (secure settings)

Hi.
Using this method with the app System UI will not affect when an update arrives?

Thanks a million that has sorted it out.... kept coming up with ADB server version doesn't match client but somehow figured it out adding just the line of code, restarted phone and the 2 page quick toggle menu is there along with the ability to edit it.
