EDIT: SOLVED
I accidentally found the option I was looking for while fiddeling around in BatteryXL. At the checkbox-option for autosync... if you click on the text left of the checkbox insted, you are able to select WIFI and/or DATA. Well hidden =). The initial results is promising, but will run it for some days to make sure it works properly. As for now I see this as solved.
I have an issue that I've stuggeled with for days now and it's starting to drive me crazy.
What I'm trying to do is to make my phone, in intervals, enable autosync + wifi, sync/update then turn back off again without mobile data ever beeing activated. I want mobile data to be activated manually only.
So far I've been able to do everything except preventing mobile data to activate. If wifi is available it overrides and turns off mdata, but im not fully satisfied with this. I use BatteryXL Pro for the scheduled autosyncs.
Here's my setup:
HTC Desire S
Rooted - cm7
BatteryXL Pro (Options: Smart Wifi + Smart data enabled, these basicly just manage how wifi and mdata is turned off again. Smart AutoSync: frequency 15 min, duration 1 min)
Background data and Autosync is disabled in the phones settings.
I've been messing around with the APN settings aswell.
I had this working on my stock OS before i rootet. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Thanks, warjar
The Non-Root Nougat Guide for the Sprint S7
You need stock Nougat on your device. There are several ways to achieve this:
1. OTA Update2. Install the firmware via ODIN from Sammobile; Updato
Why Most People Root
1. Ad Blocker
2. Hotspot Hack
3. Youtube Ad Free
4. Remove Bloatware
5. Xposed (not right now)
6. Other tips/tricks
7. Credits
Here my tips and tricks for getting this Root feel, but keeping the stability of stock.
1. Ad Blocker
This are local hosts, meaning that your info doesn't go to a random server and then come back to you. It stays on your device for your eyes only!
1. DNS66 This one uses a hosts file, just like adaway for those of you who used it while rooting. Since everything is done via a local DNS, you the battery life it is the same as adaway, non-existent! Given that it only blocks entire host names, it cannot block as detailed as some other ad blockers. However, I haven't seen any ads in apps or browsers and no battery hit either! Just make sure the hosts files have a red dot next to them and you have to refresh before activating. Will still block ads on device even when tethering! Great support too!
2. Ad Guard. Good ad blocker. Runs everything through a VPN though, which comes at a battery hit. This one also comes with a price tag! Offers Youtube Ad Blocking, but you must enable their DNS, which puts your information to their servers and then back to you...this blocks ads about 50% of the time. Good support too!
3. Adhell Uses Samsung Knox to block ads and trackers. Blocks most things on webpages and apps (no youtube), but saves a ton a battery since it doesn't require VPN. Not as good as blocking as the first two, but does work a little. Just my opinion though. Also, it is FREE!
4. Disconnect Pro Similar to Adhell, but a paid app,but can be found for free during sales. Search the Galaxy App Store to buy it. Uses Samsung Knox too.
5. AdClear. Some have had success with this, I've had mixed results.
6. BlockThis! Works well, but caused issues on some webpages.
As with all of the above, you will need to whitelist some apps for them to work properly. Like, AdHell and Disconnect have the Google Play Music bug. If you find an app is using a ton of battery, it may need to be whitelisted...usually, google apps have this problem.
2. Hotspot Hack
1. Enable developer mode:
a. Go to settings
b. Scroll down to about phone
c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted
2. Get ADB installed w/ drivers
a. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
3. Enable USB Debugging
a. Go to settings
b. Go down to developer options
c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on
d. Connect phone with USB to PC
4. Get into ADB shell
a. Open a command prompt (windows key + R , type "cmd" in the box and press enter is my favorite way)
b. Run:
Code:
adb shell
5. Enable the bypass
a. Disable the DUN requirement
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
b. Overwrite the DUN APN
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"
6. Turn off Mobile Data
7. Turn on HotSpot
8. Turn on Mobile Data
Every time that you want to use the hotspot you have to turn data off; turn hotspot on; turn data back on. When you disconnect your hotspot you need to do the following:
1. Turn Hotspot Off
2. Turn Mobile Data Off
3. Turn Mobile Data On
People will complain, but after you run the code the first time, turning hotspot on and off literally takes just seconds.
3. Youtube Ad Free
1. Youtube in the background, downloading, and so far ad free Youtube can be achieved with OG Youtube. Read the OP and also install this apk found in post 5592 It doesn't say, but in combination with DNS66, I haven't seen any ads after installing this and disabling the old Youtube. It will occasionally ask you to update and just hit Later.
2. If you want to use the original Youtube app, this doesn't block ads, but it does silent and auto skip them. Cygery
3. Use an VPN to route your data somewhere and back. It isn't 100%, but AdGuard offers this type of service. I believe Block This and AdClear may too.
4. Remove Bloatware
This is probably the biggest difference between root and non-root. They are all installed with the same apps. With root, you can delete the system apk or, with root and non-root, you can use a package disabler, you can disable unwanted apps. The problem is that occasionally you will disable or delete something that will cause a chain reaction leading to boot loops or excessive battery drain.
I find it best to go to the application manager and manually disable or uninstall through it. This way, the system will know what's there and what isn't...no surprises. You can uninstall the Sprint crap like TV, Tech Support, Fun and Games, Family Locator...basically every Sprint app except for voicemail. Not disable, but uninstall them completely!
You can disable the following (probably more, but I must be using them): Amazon; Kindle; Facebook; Instagram; Lookout; Messenger; Prime Stuff; S Health; S Voice; Samsung Gear; Youtube (remember the tip above); some of the Google Play apps like Movies and TV; probably more too, but I must actually use those apps.
I'm sure there are some that I'm missing too....I remember uninstalling some weather app too.
The point is that Nougat seems friendlier in terms of uninstalling or disabling software compared to Marshmallow.
5. Xposed (not right now)
Not available for Nougat at the moment. But this update is really customizable!
6. Other tips/tricks
1. Skip Tracks With Volume Keys
1. Frinky Music Controller Allows you to skip tracks with screen off.
2. Noyze Not sure if still being developed, but works. Let's you skip tracks by long pressing with screen off.
Doze Related
Remember to whitelist apps you want running in the background...like Pandora, Google Music, etc. I would leave them off at first and if it cuts off when the screen is off, you need to white list it.
I haven't used these apps in Nougat as the new doze seems fine, but to each his own:
1. ForceDoze puts your phone into doze mode without the motion detectors and 30 minute wait. Great app! Does require you to install adb (adb installer) since you have to run a command to get it to run properly. Check Disable motion sensing and turn off while charging
2. Greenify The auto hibernation works great if we had root, but we don't. It works, but can be extremely annoying at times and can drain battery because it may continuously try to force stop/close an app you greenify. Plus, it will take a few seconds to re-unlock your phone immediately after you turn off the screen. However, I use it with force doze for the aggressive doze. I saw a difference in battery life by using them both. Still need to adb a command
Other Tips
Besides the obvious of gmail/facebook/whatspp/twitter/snapchat syncing
1. Turn off wi-fi scanning
2. Back up my data for Samsung and Google under back up and reset
3. Turn off some features under advanced features in settings...for example, palm swipe to capture if you never use it
4. Location History under Location
5. Change locating method...I leave mine on GPS, wi-fi, mobile, but some people want more battery life and turn it off.
6. Turn on developer options and change animations to 0.5
7. Turn off Always on Display under settings > display. I like it, so I leave it on...but takes about 2% an hour

Awesome. And you should be able to use phone data with this method while tethering too. @paul2112 did most of the legwork for this fix.

Im confused on what the "hotspot" hack is. When I turn on Hotspot on my stock S7e, it turns off WIFI and only uses LTE. Are you saying this hack will allow us to use hotspot with WIFI?

Ok, I'm lazy. Is there a single button method for the toggling for hotspot? I'm using my phone as a hotspot for a tablet thats installed in my car and so being quick is important. I'm trying to build something using "Automate" app but does anyone have something already configured?
fyi, actually just turning on hotspot or off now does the trick. No need to toggle mobile network on/off. I'm on Sprint.
I can confirm Hotspot last through new android update/dated 3/29 heres a screen shot
new update 5/31/17 hotspot non root method sticks and works fine. id like to offer a new method and give thanks to the guy that found it maybe you can incorporate this into your guide so easy a caveman can do it lol

Thank you so much for this guide! It's been the only successful method to get unlimited hotspot working on my S7 & a friend's S7 Edge! (both stock & most recent firmware) :good:
When using this method, I achieve hotspot as mentioned....but loose ipv6 by doing so!? Any ideas on why or how to fix so when I toggle data/hotspot I can keep ipv6 connectivity, thanks
[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 CarrierThis 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.

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

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?

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 .
Hey guys, I have found a way to get hotspot working in Oreo without rooting or paying for the service. Timing seems to be important for Sprint's software to load and block the functionality of the hotspot. This method does work on Oreo, but it also works on all other versions below it as well. Follow the steps below or watch the video at the bottom and post back here if it works!
1. Download and install Shortcut Master Lite from the play store.
2. Open Shortcut Master Lite and search for com.test.ltefunctionality and make sure there are no spaces before or after the query.
3. Open the result ending with LTEFunctionalityTest and find LTE APN Setting in the list and tap it.
4. Open APN2 EHRPD internet and scroll to APN type. See if you can edit it. If so then great! Add ,dun to the end and to the same for APN2 LTE internet and you're done! If you cannot edit, which is likely on Oreo, then continue with the steps.
5. Some have had success with rebooting the phone and getting into Shortcut Master Lite quickly after the reboot. For others this does not work. You can try it and see for yourself.
6. Open up the dialer and type ##27263# This resets your carrier customization settings and reboots the phone.
7. Upon reboot, follow steps 2 through 4 again and it WILL work. Make sure you save your changes when editing the APN Types.
8. Verify your hotspot is working by toggling it on and connecting a device.

Hello, I was using an app (shortcut master lite) to modify hotspot to work. But now when I go into shortcut master it's all greyed out. I cannot select anything. Can someone help to enable so I can get hotspot to working again.

I just used this on my note 8 with the CRE1 update and it worked great.
Now does anyone know if it works on the s8?

I have an S8+ and basically modified this setting via ADB way back on Android 7 and it has persisted all the way through the upgrade to Oreo. I am currently on CRG3 and it still works. One trick to note is to turn off mobile data, turn on the hotspot, and then turn mobile data back on. Has been working since I got this phone back in May 2017...
Now to see if the ADB method will work on the Note9 in a few days...

Reboot phone
Dial ##brand# accept/yes and phone will reboot
Open shortcutmaster and edit apn's as usual

Hey guys, I have written an app that makes this process pretty easy. Shortcut Master Lite is no longer available on the Play Store.

I would like to know how to get the data connection switch on the notification pannel?
I can only enable or disable data connection in Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Mobile data and it's so boring doing this every time I want to enable or disable the connection.
The phone is not rooted and on build CRL1.
Sorry if similar questions have already been asked. I just didn't find.
Thank you.
I was able to add it in until the last update I did. You can Google it but you just need a laptop and be able to know how to do adb commands. You basically do a command and it pulls a list up of all the quick settings. You then add in mobile data and run another command and it will then be in the dropdown. I had it working months ago before a update and after the update it stopped working. My workaround now is I made a system shortcut on my homescreen and it goes right to where the box is to check to turn on and off.
Please follow this, it worked fine for me just today - https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...samsung-galaxy-s6-s7-s8-note8-adding-t3757211
