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!

It is so irritating. My data enabled feature turns on automatically. Even though its off.
Any solution?
As far as i know, this is an ongoing problem. It is not the rom that is the problem, but some apps installed on the phone. Some apps on instillation, you agree for the program to access data services, so even if you switch it off, the app can enable it again.
Very irritating indeed, but i did find a short term solution. As data services are really expensive, I personally only use Wifi before i get a big bill. Due to those conditions, i never require data services, so done the following:
1) --> Settings
2) --> Wireless and network settings
3) --> Mobile Networks
4) --> Access Point Names
**By default, this should be your service provider
5) Press the complete left button at the bottom(next to home button).
6) Select add new APN
7) Just change Name and APN to anything random(I used Test & Test).
If data services does get enabled, it will not be able to connect to the service provider and won't cause any problems. You can also swop between the test and the default settings if you do require Data.
Hope this helps in your case.

Hi all!
I just recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0" to a Moto G. I sold my SGP and accessories for almost what I paid for my Moto G, which I considered a pretty good deal. I currently have no need for a cell phone, however, and merely use the Moto G as I did the SGP. That means connecting with WiFi only and using it mostly as a media and navigational device (with pre-downloaded maps and GPS enabled).
In an attempt to conserve as much of the (already amazing) battery life as possible, I've set location to Battery Saver and disabled "Data enabled" and "Data roaming" under Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile network settings. I've also set "Battery Saver" under Settings>Battery to "On". Despite this "Cell standby" under Settings>Battery still consumes an average 20% of a full charge of my battery. Part of this could be that as I am in a remote location, with only very weak cell signals available, the device is constantly searching for signal despite the fact that I do not even have a SIM card installed.
Is there any possible manner in which I could switch off the cellular modem in the phone without switching off WiFi? I can set the device to "Airplane Mode" but that also turns off WiFi, which I prefer to leave on during the day and only switch off at night. I am very new to Android 4.x, so do not yet know all the ins and outs of the Settings menu, and as such may be missing something. Or there might just not be the option. Either way, is what I am wanting to do possible?
You can turn WiFi back on (long press it in the quick settings tile) after enabling Airplane Mode. There may be an app or widget to do this more seamlessly, though.
Turn OFF cellular radio.
I can't wait for my Moto-G to arrive, so I am winging it here..
You can try this: *#*#4636#*#*, and you will enter the TEST mode.
Select Phone information, and scroll down to where you see the SMSC dialog box, directly above this, you will see another greyed out box with the wording: Turn off radio. Select that, and the radio will be disabled, but will restart on a reboot, but there is a way to shut off the radio completely as well, but this should help for now.
You can also use this: ##7764726(program) and then tap DIAL to access the SPC password menu, where you enter SIX ZEROES, and tap 'verify' to enter the programming menu.
The two you will be more interested in, are the first and third selections, User activation and Extended NAM
You can wipe all the data if you wish (but write that information on paper so you will know its location if you decide to actually use that device in the future!
Scroll down to Extended NAM and write that information down, first to last, in proper order as before.
If you wish to completely disable ALL outbound dialing, you should delete the emergency number listings as well.
To upgrade your overload class, change that number to a '1', so some schmuck can't boot your call in favor of theirs.
Your MIN and MDN should be erased, as this prevents the phone from placing any calls, even 911 calls if you erased those numbers.
You can erase everything, from the SID to the MCC (Mobile Country Code), to anything the phone uses to access the network.
Just write everything down in proper order so you have a point of reference when you forget what you did.
Once you finish your task, reboot the device. You may need to once again, shut off the radio using the *#*4636#*# operation, but each device is unique here, you may not need to do this.
You can then try the above mentioned shut down procedure again, and disable the radio completely.
WiFi should still be operational
Thank you both very much for your replies! tma200's method works quite well for me, being easy to get to (definitely seamless compared to doing anything in Gingerbread!) and simple to remember. Thank you for your reply, AECRADIO, I'll keep it in mind if I ever need to do some more advanced radio management on my device!
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.
[DISCONTINUED][ROM][MOD] S8+_U1_Unbranded_Rom_PlayStore_Addon_Mods_ADB & Odin_Install
THE FIRMWARE IN THIS OP IS FOR VERZIZON S8+ ONLY
The PlayStore Nougat Mods Zip Or The S8 Nougat Mods Zip Can Be Used On Any Carrier​This involves some knowledge of using odin and adb if you do not how to use these please read up before attempting this as this thread is not going to be a how to use odin/adb thread​
How I Achieved This If You Want The Technical Stuff
I found that Older CSC zips pulled from the cache.img of the S7 model phone will install using adb sideload.
I dont flash a S8 CSC file in odin because this contains the carrier stuff
I have to flash 2 different csc files from the S7. The first one flashes the correct stuff to blacklist unwanted other carrier Apps and install vital verizon apps. But the first csc zip blocks samsung cloud so by flashing the second csc zip which is from S7 MM firmware Samsung cloud was not blocked then. Finally the 3_Install.bat zip removes unwanted carrier files that cause problems with verizon VoLTE.
This Will Wipe Your Phone!

Does the wifi calling work without forcing data off as was required with your method to enable wifi calling outside this ROM?
Thanks

Maybe I misunderstood some of the conversation in the other thread. Here is what you stated there:
I don't know of any other way to force WiFi calling other than turning off cell radio. On Verizon base rom you can put phone in airplane mode and connect back to WiFi but that don't work on unlocked firmware. The whole root thing depends on an unsecured eng boot image. Which the ones we have right now are not
So I thought that in order to get wifi calling working you would have to turn off cellular service. Maybe all you need to do is connect to wifi to get it to work since wifi would be preferred? Right now, when I am at home I get wifi calling and when I am not on my wifi I get cellular radio calling. I don't have to turn anything on or off. It just works.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I dont know how your getting wifi calls with verizon without either having no service or your roaming or you turned off the cellular radio. Verizon doesnt let you choose when the calls are made over wifi they choose for you the only settings you can control is if you want to use wificalling while roaming. Just because your connected to wifi doesnt mean the calls are being made over wif network. Unless this has changed in the latest update

mine just seems to choose when to use wifi calling. still on stock atm, but when connected to wifi, it calls through wifi, and my data is still enabled from what i can tell. when i walk out of wifi range my call doesn't drop, just keeps going as normal. if that makes sense

Do you have bad service at your house. I have an s5 s7 and s8 and none will make wifi calls by simply being on wifi network unless signal is bad so I dont know what the deal is.

full bars at the house, 2 or 3 at work. rechecked my call log, and they were all while i was at work. so i guess 2 or 3 bars makes a difference in when wifi calling is used?

Download the Latest VZW Firmware and flash it with Odin3_v3.12.7 from the OP
VoLTE_Fix.zip this is an updated zip to replace the one that came in the System zip. Unzip this and replace your old VoLTE_Fix folder with this new one and the rerun the 3_Install.bat. This will fix wificalling issue not activating
To test wifi calling open rom control app click on Phone Testing Menu
Turn Cellular Radio Power off
If working Properly your setting will look like thisView attachment 4195477
Notice Data Network Type =IWLAN This means your connect to Wifi Calling Network
If your phone is ready to make a WifiCall your Voice Service=In service
If your Voice Service= unknown then go and try and make a call it will fall to call try a couple of times then come back here turn cell radio back on. Wait a few seconds to connect then turn cell radio back off and wait a few seconds it should show Voice Service=In service and you should be good to go. Then try and make a call and wificalling should now work
Also updated the S8_PlayStoreNougatMods_V2.zip. Added a few more things
Just want to say jrkruse you are the truth been following yiu since my s5 keep up the good work .
After upgrading to Android 12, we lost wifi and cell toggles. There is a replacement - internet toggle which brings another popup which can be used to turn on and off Wifi and Cell data. This is one more tap and is not needed imho.
I've looked around and found a way to restore wifi toggle and cell toggle:
First, adb shell into your phone ( enabling debug mode of course )
settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
This is going to show all toggles which are currently available.
You can then add wifi and cell to the list and
settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "wifi,cell,<here goes the rest of your toggles>"
for example, this is what I did for Pixel 4a
wifi,cell,bt,dnd,flashlight,rotation,night,screenrecord,custom(com.google.android.gms/.nearby.sharing.SharingTileService),dark,controls,hotspot,location,airplane,cast,cameratoggle,mictoggle,wallet,alarm,reduce_brightness,internet,battery
settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "wifi,cell,bt,dnd,flashlight,rotation,night,screenrecord,custom(com.google.android.gms/.nearby.sharing.SharingTileService),dark,controls,hotspot,location,airplane,cast,cameratoggle,mictoggle,wallet,alarm,reduce_brightness,internet,battery"
I however noticed that once in a while Wifi toggle stops working, reboot helped with that. Please share your experiences.
Just did this to my son's pixel 4a because he was missing the toggles. Seems to be working, but the cell one doesn't show connecting/disconnecting just connected/disconnected.
I'm sticking with internet because I rarely block data and usually want to block wifi at the same time when I do.
There is one problem. If there is no known Wifi to connect to, the toggle gets stuck in an "on" position and doesn't turn Wifi on or off. Not sure how to fix this. I have developed my own toggle but it has a similar problem.
