quick question 5g toggle - Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi I have a quick question., can you toggle off 5g completely. In my home country (Trinidad) it doesn't have and may not have for a good few years ?.
Please post screen shot verifying it

yes, there is a quick setting in the tile pull-down menu.
5g is off by default .. I have never enabled.
sorry, cant be bothered doing screenshots if you dont believe me .. or check phone screenshots on notebookcheck.net or gsmarena.com

Ok thanks...

Yes you can toggle it On or Off as you desire.
For everyday use I ensure that 5G is Off. As 4G+ spped are more than enough for browsing and watching videos, and 5G consumes more battery and generate more heat.
I only turn it On when downloading large apps or torrents to get the most benefits of the high speeds.
Screenshot in attachments.

That button appears only when you have a 5G sim card? I don't see that icon for enable/disable 5G in pull-down menu, not even in edit mode, only in Settings, Mobile Network I can select 5g/4g/3g/2g.

Is there a 4g/3/2g option?

This is what I got, also on last firmware .121.

This is what I got, also on last firmware .121.
I am using a different dpi setting 'smallest width' .. hence a bit different in size from above screenshot

Thank you all for the information

ICS mobile networks menu/2G/3G options missing?

It seems that the mobile networks menu is missing from the settings panel?
Is there a way to switch between 2G and 3G mode, maybe with a widget or something?
Sensation 4G here, in case you guys have different menu..

go to setting and than more .. under data usage there you will find mobile network just click on it and you have the settings you were looking for
If that don't work press *#*#4636#*#* you will get a menu go
To phone options in the corner of where it says 2g,3g, ect... is a drop down menu. From there you can lock the signal to what ever you want. Then scroll down press refresh.you will see a group of numbers come up on the line before the refresh button. You are good to go now.I use this method to lock on my signal. When you reboot your phone you will have to do it again because settings go back so write down the code. Hope I helped you!

I found an app that sends me directly to the networks menu. It's a widget actually, but it does the job. The option is just not directly available from the menu. The mobile network menu is just a toggle button for mobile data...

Can't remember, but there are lots of apps that do this. Search for 2G in Google Play.

Customise quick settings, data on / off ?

I'm on a low end PAYG tariff so manually turn data on / off over 3g. The Moto G doesn't seem to have a quick way of doing this and quick settings don't appear to be customisable... ? Unless anyone knows different ?
Press the signal icon in quick settings.

stock android is like that on every phone
you must use power toggles from play store, or exposed framework and some modules

This takes you to the menu to then toggle it..... I've come from a HTC where you can just toggle via the icon in quick settings since my first android back in the day HTC Legend. I guess thats part of Sense and I'll need to use a 3rd party app. It just feels like such a basic feature though coming from a non-stock android experience.
Swipe with two fingers from the top then tap the network button(middle one), then tap "mobile data"
Thanks all
You could also use widgetsoid from the playstore.
One tap customisable toggles in notification area.
you could also use gravitybox together with xposed to override system default toggle behavior for some toggles (wifi, bt, data, etc)

Hide NFC Icon?

Hi,
I have just flashed my carriers modem/oem files to my XZP so I can enable VoLTE. Now I have the NFC icon in the statusbar when NFC is enabled. There is not the option to disable it under display>system icons. Is there a way I can hide it without root?
Which carrier are you with?

Sorry I missed quote in xda app. I am with Optus Australia.
Pull down the quicksettings, touch the gear icon for a few seconds until it vibrates. You will now find a new entry in settings calles 'system UI tuner'.
Could you send a screen shot of the *#*#4636#*#* menu? Curious to see if the VoLTE Provisioning icon is toggled to on.

I have no doubt it's working as it's also appears on the phone app when I make/receive calls
Nice. I just wanted to see it. When I would Rey on Verizon it would never stay enabled.

Well when I got my phone it did have VoLTE when running my carriers firmware however since I wanted quicker updates I flashed the stock AU firmware but VoLTE did not work... I flashed just the OEM/modem files from my carriers firmware and it enabled VoLTE again so maybe you could try something similar
Interesting. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. I'm on T-mobile now. Downgrade in service but my phone acts like a phone now.

must have apps for unrooted ?

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!
@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner
Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

SM-G9708 (China Mobile S10e): unknown symbol in notification area

Hi,
i own a SM-G9708 since a few days now. I believe it is the same as the SM-G9700, but just from China Mobile (also Snapdragon model).
In my notification area i see a symbol i haven't seen before (i used S7 before). It looks like a SMS-symbol, but has two arrows inside. Please see the attachment. Anyone knows what is the meaning?
it is there from the first start, before i installed any apps.
thanks.
