is there anyway to permenantly disable the cell radio? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded to a thunderbolt and i'm currently wondering if it is at all possible to disable the cell radio permanently that isn't going into the network test menu(the only reason i have Jrummy's rom toolbox installed) and turning off the cell radio?
is there something i can uninstall via titanium or is airplane mode my only option?

how not to get apps downloaded automatically when log in to market the first time?

Hi. I just flashed CM7, and I have used MyBackup Root to backup all my apps already.
Now, I just want to go to Market, and download mybackup Root, and restore my apps. However, once I get into Market, all the apps seems to start download immediately, without any notification. I do not have any of those to "update automatically", and it is a hazzle to cancel all my apps download one by one.
Anyone know how to prevent market from updating my apps after a fresh ROM update?

You cant cause that's what it does, maybe switch to 2G to slow down the process and then cancel the Dl's. Or try turning off b/g updates after logging in.
This is a very easy problem
Your apps get automatically saved on the phone incase you get a new phone or something happens.
The phone doesnt know you have a backup.. so it just restores everything automatically.
To turn down that feature go to
Settings >> Privacy >> Automatic restore
uncheck it
Or simply turn on airplane mode or take out ur sim

If you have any battery managers running while it is on they will turn off your data connection if the battery gets low. Make sure your apn settings are correct for your network. Use Titanium Backup to freeze hotspot manager and/or tethering manager.

Teethering is Crashing Settings App - Newbie Needs Expert Advice - Help!

I know... it's tethering, not teething, lol.
SHG-I747 AT&T
Installed JB 4.1.1 via Kies
Installed CW Recovery - pulled batter - installed Team Epic Root
All Good
Installed Titanium Backup Pro
Uninstalled Tethering Provision (to disable check for AT&T Tethering Plan)
Unisntalled Bloatware per list in first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728126
Not realizing the Tethering toggle was built-in to Settings > Advanced > Tethering I downloaded WiFi Tethering for Root, wouldn't show up on network selecting Auto and S3 profiles.
Try a couple others (supposedly not requiring root), one crashed "stopped working" when launching but SSID showed up on network and blue tether icon showed up in status bar. Another launched without crashing, blue icon in status bar. Both I can connect to via my Windoes 8 computer but get a status of "Limited" with no Internet access. Apps on phone show the computer is connected.
Here's the major problem. If I just uninstall all the tethering apps and go into Settings > Advanced > Tethering and try to toggle wifi or USB tethering the settings app itself crashes "settings app has stopped working"
I did a TB backup of the apps prior to all this, but then did another TB backup late last night. So that tethering provisioning things can't restored as it appears, at least default, the TB backup overwrites the previous backup instead of making an incremental backup.
I'm at a loss what to do. This is my first Android device. The Sys Admin gut in me says I need to start from scratch (reinstall stock ROM, reinstall CW recovery.. bla bla bla.) But not sure how to even do that (can I even use Kies now that CW recovery is on there or do I need to find the stock rom file and copy to the internal memory and use CW recovery or use Odin to flash stock ROM - hoping I don't need to reflash ROM, will take forever to reinstall my apps and settings in trying to solve Tether crash!)
In desperate need of some advice.
Soultion is a newer hacked version of Wifi Tether for Rooted user that is not on the Play Store and the apk has to be downloaded directly. Current version is here:

What a pain in the ass it took to finally find this. The problem is all the posts and methods out there essentially became defunct when the JB 4.1.1 update came out a few days ago yet you still have users unknowingly recommending the same methods because they were still on ICS. Guess that's the price you pay when you are brand new to Android and an OS update comes out two weeks after you got your phone and you install it the day it comes out. Sigh.
Ugh. Got too excited too quick. You can't toggle Wifi back on after shutting down tethering without restarting phone! Guess it's going to be a few more days until some good developers come out with a simple one-app solution without issues. It was WAY easier to get free tethering on the jailbroken iPhone that this. I'm shocked this is so hard right now on Android JB 4.1.1. But I have to remember the OS update just came out.

Unable to get LTE Data - Modified Stock ROM

Hello, I am running a Sprint Note 4 with the following ROM -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-stock-pg1-bloated-deodexed-t3447044
It is, as the name says, a DeOdexed PG1 version of Marshmallow.
I activated this device today with Sprint. After doing so, I was able to do calling and texting immediately, but I am unable to access LTE mobile data. If I go to my data settings and switch the setting to "CDMA", I am able to obtain 3G. But if I switch it to Automatic or LTE/CDMA -- I get no data whatsoever (The bars icon shows an ! in the bottom right).
I have no idea what could be causing this and could use some assistance.
check your apn settings are correct.
I can't modify my APN settings. When I try to do so, they immediately revert to the stock APN settings. This includes trying to add new ones--they just disappear.
What would cause this?
So I'm fairly certain the issue is related to the inability to update my APN settings. What would I do to remedy this? I can't modify the APN settings. When I try to, the settings don't stick.

switching airplane mode automatically

Hello there,
I am looking for a way to activate airplane mode at night. Just now i found out that on Android11 you can enable root access via adb. That way afaik i can give permissions to apps, like WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.
I tried this with the app "Auto Airplane Mode" from F-Droid, but it didn't work - although in the quick-settings-panel the airplane mode got marked as activated, it really wasn't - the status bar didn't show airplane mode but the usual connections and calling s/o was still working.
So, my question is this:
I there a way to automatically switch airplane mode on my unrooted S9 with LOS ?
Ok, so thats my problem. I would love to hear some insights from you,
kind regards,
d4foasta
PS: yeah, i know, Rooting would enable me to do so, but i want to try and keep it unrooted.

Seems to be not take easy without root.
But I found a thread where somebody stated that he got it working on an unrooted device ... using tasker and some plugins:
Is there any way to programmatically turn on airplane mode on non-rooted android?
I used to use Tasker tasks to turn airplane mode on and off automatically when I needed it. Now, it seems, this requires root. But rooting my phone bans me from using Android Pay or any other Safet...
