I want to be able to turn off the Radio only so that when I'm Wire-Tethered to my PC and playing a game I don't get any calls or texts to slow down my connection or be disturbed.
I found a thread in general where someone advised using tasker but it's $6 and I just want to be able to disable radio only. Airplane mode kills everything.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
There has to be a way...
There might be a way to do it via dial pad commands. I know that I was able to do this on a Droid in the past. I'm looking into, but make no promises.
edit:
Ok, this is what I've come up with.
*#INFO*1111# - Testing mode
Go into Phone Info...
Scroll down to Set preferred network type:
CDMA only
This should make it so the only cellular connection would be a data connection.
For my phone WCDMA Preferred is the default, which should be what you want to go back to to allow phone calls again.
Let me know if that works for you?
There's an app I used when I was on Eclair called Widgetsoid. It was the ability to toggle pretty much anything u can think of on your phone. I havent installed it since upgrading to Froyo so I can't verify that it can do what you need but its free and probably worth the download in any case. Check it out and let me know.

details of what this app can do are on the developer's website:
http://jaumard.android.free.fr/widgetsoid/
Doesn't list being able to disable text/voice while keeping data alive.
Thanks guys I'll check out both of those!

No it doesn't but I tried it anyway and found that no, it really doesn't. Thanks for trying though. I'm having a brainfart on typing letters into the dialer... how is that done again?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Just goto the phone dialer and type in those exact *,# and numbers (info is 4636)
once you put in the last # it will take you to the "testing" menu.
Let me know how it goes.
OK, I see it... will let you know how it works... Also, aren't our phones supposed to be set to CDMA? It had unknown and now it shows WCDMA. Isn't this the cause of the TWS bug?

It works great... Thanks!
Happy to help. I'm not sure exactly why it starts with WCDMA and then goes to unknown, haven't really looked into it too much.

It is the cause of the TWS bug. Our phones are constantly searching for a gsm signal never to be found. Causing battery drain. It has to do with the Galaxy S i9000 being gsm and samsungs poor ability to make changes to the coding.

This actually assisted in correcting or at least varifying another problem's solution. I've seen forum discussions point to PRL updates solving the TWS issue but other say it doesn't. However I installed sprintzone and let it install the PRL for my area. In doing so it set the default radio search shown using steve's info trick shown above. And no more TWS after reboots.
Woohoo!

Hey there! I've recently started having problems using 3G on my DHD.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 5.2.3, but the issues started occuring many versions before this, I just haven't had a chance to sit down and look into the problem.
When I connect to 3G, the icon appears in the notification bar but I simply seem to have no connectivity at all. Occasionally the icon will change to a H. If I try to browse a webpage, the up arrow on the icon will light up and the down arrow will occasionally flicker, but nothing happens. Can't browse webpages or use any apps that require a connection.
Sometimes it will randomly start working again for 15mins or so and then drop out again. 90% of the time, turning airplane mode on and then off again will fix the problem for 15mins also before it drops out.
Does anybody have any idea what problem I may be having? I'm with Vodafone Australia.
Update: At the suggestion of another XDA member, I tried flashing another radio and I'm still having the same issue, so I assume it is not related to the radio.
Bonus Question: When I can get access to 3G, since upgrading to ARHD 5.2.3, the google homepage no longer detects that I'm on a mobile device and does't take me to the mobile version. How can I fix this?
Please do check your 3G mobile data APN configuration. Make sure the 3G APN matched with your current carrier 3G configuration (search google for your Vodafone APN setting). The letter H indicates HSDPA connection (or 3.5G, maybe).
In browser setting, check your user agent setting, set it to Android/mobile. If not, clear cache and data of Browser program in Manage Application Setting.

Fixed the browser, thanks!
However, I have set up my APN correctly (as far as I am aware) and am still having the issue. Could re-flashing my radio help?
Update: At the suggestion of another XDA member, I tried flashing another radio and I'm still having the same issue, so I assume it is not related to the radio.
You have a fine, working mobile data, so you shouldn't have to push radio,RIL or flash kernel though. My best suggestion was the APN thing mentioned earlier. Or its network carrier related maybe? Try to consult your carrier customer service.

I consulted customer service and they are uncertain of any problems and simply told me that their service is 'not guaranteed to be perfect'.
However, a friend who lives in my area on the same carrier with the exact same phone is having no problems at all with connectivity, so I'm certain it's related to my phone alone.

Wow, that is not a nice thing to say to a customer. Have you tried to revert to stock rom with stock kernel and vodafone radio?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I haven't tried that as I couldn't find the stock vodafone AUS RUU (I think that's what I need anyway...)
But I've had a custom rom and custom radio since the day I got my phone and up until two months ago or so my internet has been incredibly fast and not dropped out once, so I'm doubting it's ROM/Radio related... Starting to worry that it could be hardware.

I'm afraid so too. That's the worst case scenario. Still, you should consult someone who's expert in this matter personally. Not the repair shop (that would be last resort).

***Be sure to install SuperSu from the play store before following these steps so that this app will have proper root access***
1) Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34037922
2) READ THREAD INFORMATION
3) Download:
WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012_driverReload2 (defaults to Wifi Driver Reload 2) - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390208427046731813
4) Disable Sprint Connections manager through settings menu
*System settings /more settings /mobile networks*
5) If any previous versions of WiFi tether are installed, UNINSTALL
6) Install new modded .apk
7) Use the following settings:
- Generic ICS/JB (wlan0) for Device Profile
- Netd-Ndc (master) for Setup Method
- Check box for "Send Netd Max Client Cmd"
- Make Sure "WiFi-driver reload 2" is checked
- Check Keep Alive Connection
- Check "Routing fix"
8) Reboot!
That should do it for you.
Encryption settings work as well.
Let me know if this works for you

I haven't been able to get native 4g tethering to work since our ics days.. Something changed in jb and the wimax_service.jar file used from the og epic no longer works on our device (at least back in the day when I tried it). This I the best I've been able to do.

You may have to restart after the initial setup for things to work. I had to do this the first time, but not when I re flashed and tried again.

It works, but definitely needs a reboot and encryption does not work. I uninstalled sprint connection optimizer with TB and that totally f'd me. Had to reflash...

I have encryption turned on right now. WPA2. Works perfectly. Also, the first time I simply froze Sprint Connection Manager. The 2nd time I just disabled it from within the app settings itself.
Works great for me when I follow the directions, thanks OP! Encryption is working for me also.
I was too busy to try this today but posted a link to your thread on Universe JB Rom thread. First user over there that tried it said it worked great. I froze Connection Optimizer with TB and now I'm glad I didn't uninstall it. Thanks again
Worked Great!!
I'm up and tethering again!!!!!
Thanks!!!!
I had this working for a bit, then had to reflash, and can't get it working again. Those of you that have it working, are you using superuser or supersu? One-click or the original tar leak?
ive tried three times to get this working i think the problem ive got is with the connection manager, can some one please explain how to disable it,i know this makes me sound stupid but an actual video would be cool too, any help would be appreciated, thank you8 i finallygot it working thank god jelly bean rocks and thanks for all the help, to disable connection manager i used tb 4,75 hopefully after i load apps it will work
I'm not on the leak anymore... But if I remember right...
Menu, settings, more (near the top under Wifi settings and such), connection manager, disable (uncheck box).
Again I only used fk23 for less than 24 hours so I don't remember the exact options.. Anyway, that would definitely be the reason why it's not working for you.

So I finally managed to get it working... I had to disable 4G or else my wifi devices would not see the SSID being broadcast by my phone. Once on 3G, my devices can now see the SSID broadcast and join the network. Interestingly enough, once the devices are successfully connected to the network, I can then enable 4G to use the additional bandwith.

That is a very odd scenario. Worked perfect for me..
Now that the devices can see your network and are connected to 4G can you turn the network off and on again and will they auto connect? Or do you need to revert to 3g every time? That would be a huge PITA

Yes, it seems I only have to connect while on 3G once, then I can freely start and stop the network on 4g.
LIFESAVER! I played with FK23 for about a day but couldn't deal with the lack of 4G hotspot. So I had gone back to FI27 with the hotspot mod 'til I could find something like this. Works like a charm! Actually, my up and down speeds have increased from the FI27 hack, oddly. Stable Jellybean with working 4g tethering? I'll take it!
FYI: I just selected the device model along with the rest of the settings provided in the OP and it worked fine.

Have you still got your APN settings right? I wasn't able to use mobile data because i hadn't set up my APN. Check this under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. If there is nothing there, that is your problem. To set it up, search your network provider and then APN to find the stuff you need to set it up.
oh really its first time to know that ... i thought it will saved automatically like

I have wondered the same thing, I'll have all bars but Web page won't load, can't load the play store. It happens a lot , more then just a hand full of times, but now I'm running with hyper drive rom and so far so good. We'll see.

I didnt have any data drop from y'day after changing the APN. Data looks little bit slow though. But batter than dropping. Lets see how it goes.
I have mine set at both IPv4/IPv6 and I had a major improvement with all bars and poor speed.
