Need something similar to the WiFi toggle, but for 3G/2G.
Anyone?
Bump...
Anyone? I can't be alone in wanting this??
Hi,
You can always toggle it in CommManager.
Yeah but the point is like the WiFi toggle - it's easier to have it on the home screen quicklinks rather than having to go into the comm manager
Find this program but not working well, is there any solution? thanks

Looks like no one find it yet.
There are numerous requests on xda, but no real solution
I'd be interested in this too. The 'Advanced Network' program lets me change it, but it also says that I need to reset the device after I change the setting.
I'm looking for something that I can just quickly toggle a few times a day when I'm not actively using 3g.

I use the brightness switcher on my Widgetsoid widget. The default is REALLY low and you can barely see anything. Since i have a Droid Pro, I have some reboot problems (happens daily). Because of that, when it comes back on, I can't see anything.
I posted and asked the dev on Android Forums if he knew how to change it. He didn't act very helpful, so I'm trying here.
Does anyone know how to change the default?
I use the Hidden Menu to adjust the LED brightness, but I don't really know anything else about the many things in it. I was looking at the various tests and checking them out today and noticed something weird. When I did the Gyro Cal Test (in Device Test just above the LED brightness one), I got "Functional Test Result: FAIL" as the result. That doesn't sound good.
Can anyone try that test and see if something is wrong with my phone or if the G2x is supposed to fail that test.
I don't know if my device has always failed that test or, if not, when it started. The only thing that is wrong with my phone is that the screen doesn't come back on after the proximity sensor turns it off during a call. Either the other person ends the call or I have to pull the battery. If you know how to fix that, I'm all ears! [I'm running Tsugi with stock kernel.]
And speaking of the Hidden Menu, does anybody know anything else useful in it other than the LED brightness adjustment?

Not all items in the Hidden Menu have to do with the G2x, example FM Radio Test. I get the same results with the Gyro Cal Test.

Do you know of anything that is useful in the Hidden Menu or is it all just tests to make sure something is on or not?
Call me crazy, but what it's this hidden menu and how do I access it?

Here are two ways of getting to it here.
It's got a bunch of tests for your phone. I've never heard of any major uses for it other than what I do with it, which is adjust the "Touch LED Brightness." I like to turn them down.
You can also set some parameters that are used for GPS; in particular, some people have reported significant speedups by using the Google SUPL server instead of one of the three that are available in the stock ROM.

Where can I choose to use Google SUPL? It's not listed on mine. Only T-Mobile, Spirent, and LGE SUPL. The T-Mobile one was chosen by default on mine. Do you know what is meant by "Use XTRAS" in the same sub-menu?
Yes, those are the three I mentioned that are available in the stock ROM. You have to add the Google SUPL server before you can select it. If you go to the SLP Server Setting screen and hit the menu button, you'll get the choices Add, Edit, and Delete. Hit Add and set "name" to Google, "slp address" to supl.google.com, "port" to 7276, and "certification file" to /etc/SuplRootCert. Leave "TLS Setting" unchecked. Hit the menu button and then Save. You should then have a Google entry you can select. I'm not sure about "Use XTRAS", but mine is checked.

Awesome! And you say this will help with GPS? Do you know what it does/how it works differently? Do you use the Google one? Maybe that makes XTRAS become checked because currently mine is unchecked. It is listed as "Disabled."
I do use the Google server, but it's not clear to me whether it helps or not because my TTFF is not great (but not terrible) and varies a lot. Some people have reported that it gives a big improvement. I don't know what the difference might be other than possibly increased bandwidth or decreased latency when downloading the AGPS data. I don't know what the story is with XTRAS. Sorry I can't help more; you can find several threads here referring to the Google SUPL server.
Hey guys - searched, didn't find anything.
I'm spending some time overseas for work. I have my phone with me because I use it for a lot of things besides "phone," and anyway I have "wifi calling" when necessary.
But wifi calling doesn't adjust the time, so the clock is way off right now. I cannot figure out how to adjust it, and therefore using the phone as an alarm clock is a challenge. I'm using a countdown timer to wake me up instead...
Is it POSSIBLE to manually set the time? I dug through all the settings and couldn't locate it anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
It seems you are on stock (or hopefully rooted Gingerbread ROM), since you have wifi calling.
It has been a while for me since I ran a gingerbread rom, but if memory serves me right
there should be an option in Settings to adjust date and time. Just un-tick the box that
says something like automatic time update, thus activating the greyed options which allow
you to change the time zone..
If that didn't work, and your phone is rooted, download the free app called ClockSync
which updates your clock. (similar to windows time update server).
Yeah, rolling Valhalla Black. Would love to put ICS but I travel a lot and need the wifi calling.
Like I said, haven't been able to find "date and time settings," but failing anything else I'll look for the app you mention. THX

Well, apparently I am a moron. I went back into the phone and BAM... "date and time settings."
Problem solved. Thanks for the help.
I want to prevent certain apps from being launched on my phone unless a pattern-lock is entered.
I've tried various solutions from the Play Store, but they're all clumsy, ugly and/or don't work properly (the most common issue is the 'protected app' is shown on the screen for 300ms or so, before the 'lock/protecting app' kicks in and draws the pattern-entry screen on top of it).
I'm sure there must be a simple Xposed solution for this?

Yes, it has the same problem that most of them have, ie. there is a delay between the 'protected app' launching, and the time when App Lock kicks in - meaning the supposedly protected app is visible for a fraction of a second. That's not good enough.
Tasker has a keylock function like what you've described. Just gave it a try and seems to work pretty well. The app you are trying to launch does actually show up for a split second before the lock screen shows up on top (you can select whether it's in an overlay window or full screen). You then need to enter the code to go back to the app. Couldn't find any obvious way to bypass it. It doesn't have a maximum attempt option, though so you probably want a reasonably long PIN. If you disable the cancel button (that will send you back to home screen) then the whole phone will be locked until you enter the code (or reboot).
If you have Tasker or plan to try it, the task is called "Lock" under "Display". You'll have to assign it to an "App" profile so it's automatically triggered when you launch the app.

This is what I'm trying to avoid. Every 'app lock' app I've tried has this problem.

Sorry, I misunderstood your original post. I thought the lockscreen app was showing up not the app you're trying to protect. So tasker won't be any better.

One other thing you could try is enabling multiple users and set up restrictions on one account to disable those applications all together. Never tried this feature so don't know how easy that would be.

That's an interesting solution, but I don't think it's workable for me.
I'm essentially a lazy person and hence I have no pattern/pin security on my phone for day to day use - it's just too much hassle. What I'm trying to achieve is:
1: an interim security measure for certain apps/media/docs if I lose the phone, until I can send a remote "kill" signal
2: protection from friends and my nephew (who I often hand the phone to) from launching certain apps.
Logging in and out of different profiles is way too much work for me whereas a pattern lock on certain apps (which I might use 10 times a day perhaps) is less of a chore.
