Disable LTE? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

In my area LTE is very weak. Sometimes I will,l get 2 bars only to have it flatline. Even when outside I will be lucky to get LTE. HSPA+ however is very strong. Is there a way I can disable the LTE radio to save battery life? I love this nexus but the battery life is a bit lacking.
Thanks!

I try to help you even I do not have (still) SIM card in my N7-LTE.
On phone I "call" *#*#4636#*#* to open Phone testing app and select "Phone info" and down the page there is "Set preferred network type:". Elaborate this...
One question still persists - how to "call" *#*#4636#*#* on tablet without dialer?
On tablet, you can simple put the "Tablet info" using launcher shortcut to activity.

Any 4G switcher App "should" be able to do this. I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapbase.LTEswitcher ...
This way you can switch to WCDMA/EDGE or WCDMA Only. ... The change won't stick across a reboot though.
However, it is even easier if you're rooted on the stock Rom (or perhaps others)... Install XPosed Framework. Then using Gravitybox, you can add a 2g/3g/4g switcher toggle to your quick status box.

I don't think the easiest way is "root -> install XPosed fw -> install GravityBox -> add switcher toggle"
For me the XPosed is still something really hacking installed apps and coz my paranoia I don't trust it. All is IMHO so if you want to use XPosed, use it.

It's "easier" in that, once you complete the steps, you just have a nice looking toggle that works and looks like it is SUPPOSED to be there. Using the phone diagnostics menu is not the quickest way if you want to change things on the fly, plus it is possible to mess things up there.
And really, if you won't use XPosed because you don't trust it... then you pretty much can't trust any aftermarket ROM or even rooting tools... so ... I guess you run your device stock unrooted?

You are right of using the diagnostic menu can make some bad things (which are repaired after reboot) but the same can be told about XPosed and installing any of snippets which are not "authenticated".
I disagree with your last long sentence - XPosed is hacking the system/app/whatever you have installed. Custom ROM is not hacking. As "hacking" I mean "modify the application in run-time". I make an example - take the QuickPic - application for displaying pictures and play videos. Creator of this application makes it to display pictures and play videos - no more, no less. Using XPosed you can "modify" this application to browse some web pages. And this is not purpose the developer create this app for. I don't condemns the XPosed fw. It is mighty tool which can help in some circumstances (like tweak OEM ROM), but I primary don't want to use it.
BTW: I use CyanogenMod from version 7 in all of my devices, but you cannot compare XPosed with custom ROM - these two are too way different... and same with rooting system....

[Q] How to use App Ops on the Note P605?

Hey there,
since a week I own a Note 10.1 2014ed with LTE. So far I didn't modify anything on it and run the stock -MJ2 firmware.
I want to restrict some apps of accessing what the don't need to access and since 4.3 supposedly has this rights control feature called "App Ops" already integrated, I checked how to use it... Google gives many links to descriptions how to open the feature, they are all the same: Either you use a launcher that can start "Activities" (like Nova launcher) or you install one of the many apps from Playstore which do the trick as well.
Here is what I found on the Note:
Whenever I start the App Ops (no matter if I use an app, and I tried several, or start this activity), it just takes me to the first page of the Settings screen (WiFi).
Although searching the web for a while, it seems no one who owns this Note is using the feature or not having the trouble with it.
Can someone confirm this problem or, even better, give me a solution for it?
Cheers

I have that very same thing happen with something totally different. In wanam when I try to enable the flashlight from lock screen feature it takes me tu settings page nothing to do with camera flashlight or lock screen.....No idea I just gave up for now
Hmmm, no one interested?
I'm just wondering now if people don't care what their apps are accessing or if they use a third party program to make restrictions.
Any idea how to control apps will be welcome. If you use sth like LBE, please leave a reply.
Cheers
Hi there again.
Since there is no information available throughout the web concerning my question I was in contact with Samsung support about it. I thought it might be helpful for others what was replied.
They said that using the original Samsung Firmware, the feature cannot be used. They didn't specify whether it was completely removed from the system or only disabled so itcould possibly still work.
Since I am not a developer I didn't go into more detail there.
Now I hope that a custom ROM like Cyanogen will be available soon for the tablet.

I'm facing the exact same issues.
When following the windows opening when starting App Ops from e.g AppOpsX, a window titled "App Ops" opens quickly, then closes and ends up on the Settings screen. Same for flashlight.
My best guess was that Samsungs version of the Settings App blocks access in a way that they can only handle windows/panes that their app is capable of - would explain why it shows up just quickly and then closes.
I've been thinking that if I'd be able to flash the stock settings app, temporarily freeze the Samsung one and try App Ops - might work?
I have the same issue. My p605 is not rooted

Home Screen / KFTVLauncher WAY too busy-looking now?!

after the latest update it feels like there is way too much stuff
nice that they added Music.
FreeTime, at first I got foolishly excited thinking: "even though this is for kids, it says 'you can add Your Apps' !!!" but then quickly realized the obvious: amazon's apps, not your own apps. duh.
but now it feels like there's just way too much junk sitting there.
it would be nice to be able to choose the order of the categories, and which categories to display (or not-display)
I don't think this will happen, because then the user won't constantly scroll past all those things to buy!
I've been happy with stock everything for a while - all I ever use is Plex and whatever free videos I've loaded. So basically I only ever use: Home, Watchlist, and Settings.
didn't want to bother with rooting or with llama / launcher.
hmmmm... actually... with rooting, there might be a way to change some of the KFTVLauncher display settings... if I get annoyed enough maybe I'll look at that.
Maybe someone can make an xposed mod for editing the selection menus so we can add,hide/remove,or reposition selections.
Of course the settings page will need to be made unable to hide or delete.
I want to at least hide all but home and settings so I can quickly access my apps by going down only once and without using as much memory since the other options would not take up extra RAM space.
Random question for anyone:Can I set up a SWAP file on my 32GB USB Mass Storage connected via Stickmount to gain serious performance?

I was planning on expanding my Xposed module to allow you hide/show the various sidebar items. I already figured out how to modify it but with the recent update some or all of my code is broken and I haven't had a chance yet to see which part of it is.
I'm not sure what kind of boost you think you are going to get from swap. For one, USB storage is slower than molasses and for two, that's a great way to kill said usb storage device.

Play Services Wakelocks, causing batt draining and overheating - This worked for me!

**English is not my first language and i haven't used it for a long time, knowing that you should consider to forgive me any mispelling and bad language.
I've had a extreamly ugly case of this phenamenon for the last 7-0 days. And tried almost every method that people here and on XDA have been posting about the subject, with absolute zero luck.
But, yesterday i decided to mix together methods that i had seen from other people, there were few that i tought was more logical than other so why not give it a try. And it worked
Please notice that this is not my work, this is completely other peoples knowledge that i simply put together.
I have LG G3 D855, but theoretically it should work on any kind.
you're device have to have root access and Xposed framework.
open App ops (you can find many apps on play to access it) scroll down to Google Play Services and disable the permissons "Wake" and "keep awake" Then repeat this on Android System and Google Search, you´ll find them on same list as play services.
Install 3C Toolbox (aka Android Tuner) and activate it in Xposed.
on the list on the left in 3C Toolbox, scroll down to Apps manager and select apps startup and events, there you find the same apps as before and when you click each one you´ll get a dropdown with endless processes, find and uncheck "WAKEUP"
On the list on the left navigate to app permissions and click "prevent phone from sleeping. Find those apps there and turn the switch to "block"
Now restart your device.
This should do the trick, or at least it worked for me. I went from 80% wake to sweet deep sleep most of the time that im not using the phone.
I Should add that i also installed Greenify and added those and few more apps to it.
I hope this will help at least someone

I see in your sign you're using AndroidNow: did you apply those tricks on that ROM or on the stock one?
What app did you install for enabling App Ops access?
There are many on the GP and some apparently have some kind of problems (uninstalling, crashing, etc.).

Yes i am using AndroidNow, but first time i applied these settings i was on rooted stock rom , it works on both of them.
I noticed this morning that this seems to disable the location settings of Android Device Manager. so there are some functions that this will cost, but in my opinion i had so much batt draining, that device manager is pretty much useless if the battery is off. So untill google wipes their asses and update play services this is the best i can do.
I have used these two apps to access app ops, both have been successfull:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schurich.android.tools.appopsstarter
the app ops starter has the opinion too check if your rom has app ops by default fefore trying to add it to the device. And i´ve found out that in LG G3 D855 international the app ops settings actually are availeble in android 4.4.2 so i haven't had to flash the settings yet. i just used the app to add a feature to access the setting.
I hope this was helpfull and answers your questions, and sorry how i´ve not been able to reply earlier, we're on different timezones and i usually just visit this site at nights, sometimes everyday, and sometimes everyother day.

Best Xposed modules for the HTC 10

I'm new to android and have a 10, now rooted with Xposed installed and working.
What are people's favourite Xposed modules that work on the 10?

I don't know but I would like to see a module that can bring my navigation bar back. The placement of the hardware keys are too low to be ergonomic, for me at least.
GravityBox MM is all you need

Hi guy ,is your GravityBox working fine? there're lots of apps crash after the second reboot on my phone.
I'm using xKindleMod. It's a must have if you use the Kindle app. Also using YouTube Ad Away.
And I only had a couple of status bar mods work for me with GravityBox. I didn't try too many, but even centering the clock made the battery % disappear. I ended up uninstalling it since it wasn't very compatible.

I've used to lists from those guides, but have found roughly only half of the suggested alarms and wakelocks in the HTC 10 specifically. Are you aware of any HTC 10 specific wakelocks and alarms I should limit? How do you have yours set up?

I must tell that with Magisk and systemless xposed, I had all the modules I tried successfully working without any problems. But beware of enabling modules that are made for other phones (for example Sony Xperia modules...) Just do this: Before enabling module read the description for compatibility with different phones and systems... I have a lot of modules running not officially compatible but they work anyway - Example: GravityBox MM is working perfectly except for the above written issue. If some module cause bootloop or freezes, just go in the TWRP, decrypt data and then navigate to Advanced->File Explorer (or manager, I am not sure) When file manager in TWRP is opened, navigate to /data/app/[name of problematic module] and delete the whole folder... Then your phone will work again.
I have working those:
ActivityForceNewTask
Android N-ify
App Settings 1.13
ChromePie
Google Photos Bottom Bar Remover
GravityBox MM
Heads Off
Hide Mock Location
MinMinGuard
MoonPhase
NoShareServices
PoGoIV
Pokemon Go IV Checker
Pokemon Go Joystick
Prevent Running
Route selector
Snapprefs
Tumblr AdAway
Xposed Additions
Youtube AdAway
Youtube Background Playback
Also do not forget AdAway, but it is not module but a must have app

Please people, before you are doing something and preventing things that you "think" are causing drain, just try to do what I will write now... I have done this same things since HTC Desire and its still the most efective thing that I could have done, I dont need to install any other app like Amplify or Greenify to disable things. Everytime, first setup your phone and install all apps you want. Yes, this includes Facebook app and other battery draining apps, just install everything you will use, even if it is just an app you will use once a month. It is important all apps are logged in and synced like you want them. If you use auto-sync, enable it for apps you want and everything... Then go into Settings->Apps and open every app and change permissions FOR EVERY APP you installed what to allow and what not. For example I only allow Storage and Contacts access permission for Whatsapp and Viber. If you also take a lot of pictures with camera when in Viber or Whatsapp, you should allow Camera permission too... Just know what you will use app for and then make permissions like that. I revoker all permissions for Facebook and Messenger, and I only enable Storage permission when I upload a photo and disable it after that. Okay, after you fixed all the permissions like you want you use phone until you go to sleep. Before you go to sleep FULLY CHARGE your phone to 100%. You have to leave Wi-Fi ON, auto-sync enabled and everything just like you want the settings to be when you use your phone through the day. After it is 100%, create an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning. Disconnect the charger after that. After you wake up in the morning, look at the battery percentage. I loose about 4-5% through the night, this is about 0,5% per hour. You have to remember that I loose ONLY 0,5% per hour AND I have WiFi PLUS auto-sync enabled I receive all email, viber, everything After you see the battery percentege go into Settings->Power->Battery Usage and take a look what is draining battery (If you have more than 1% per hour, here you should see what is the problem. Also take a look in Settings->Power->History, here you should see if you had any wakelocks.
Look at attached picture, first one is what is OK and second one is NOT OK.
If you have any wakelocks or if you want to manage running apps in background go into Xposed application and download and enable Prevent Running xposed module. Reboot the phone. After that, open Prevent Running and go into Advanced Settings. Enable options "Lock Sync", "Auto Prevent"(enable this only if you want every new installed app to be automatically prevented running in background), Allow Unknown Sender, Force stop important system apps.
Go out of the Prevent Running settings and and click and select "Auto Prevent" for every app you dont want to run in the background. I enabled Auto Prevent for all apps I dont use often and also for apps I use often but I dont want them running in background (Like Here WeGo navigation, Drippler, Google Goggles, Hostelworld, Pinterest, Pokemon GO, Root Explorer, Shazam, SoundHound, Translate, Tumblr, Twitter, Wake On Lan, Docs, Drive, Facebook, Photos, Youtube, Maps,...) BEWARE that all apps you Auto Prevent will not run in background if you exit from them with back button or if you remove them from recents. They can still run in background if you press home button, then they are running until you remove them from recents
This is how I achieved performance like it is on first screenshot attached here.
I hope this helps someone

Thank you.
Got it up and running. Needed to make a few changes (enabling certain apps with Package Disable Pro), but other than that it seems snappy. Will have to see how some of the extras work before I can form a solid opinion.
Does wifi calling and volte (HD voice) still work with the official Tmobile nougat release?

Just works from stock?
What type of ROM Controls are there

what is this exactly, is this just to add a feature to my stock nougat. I dont want to damage my phone
So do you have to use both the pc and phone or was the directions trying to say you could choose the method?
No replies here folks.... Somebody is going to have to step up and do the mod and report back for us on tmobile. We need a volunteer.

I linked the original thread I just posted it here because it works on our devices also. Instead of trying to be ungrateful maybe take a moment and read. My directions are correct, and very understandable to anyone who knows how to read and most importantly follow directions as stated.
Guess I don't know how to read. Thanks for posting this though.

Actually your directions are not that easy to read or understand.
The OP states a list of steps to take "from PC" and none of those steps other than running the bat files are done from your PC. They are all things don't from phone.

They are clear to those actually looking to use it Instead of just looking to argue a useless point the first person to try it got it and so did a few others. As I stated I quoted the original post so anything you are not clear on then you ask there. This is only to let us tmobile users know it works. Now I will go back to life outside of XDA and leave you to argue with yourself.
Question did it work for you? Did you try? Do you already understand adb? If yes to any above then you should be able to follow directions

????some needs a cookie and attention. You go girl??????????
If you guys are having trouble getting it to work you could always just install nova launcher and make it pretty much identical if not better than the original pixel launcher. Or else there is another app called nougat UI for Android that looks promising but I haven't tried it yet.

**** guuurl, err body likes cookies! But I'm not in any dire need of attention. I just don't like it when someone make unnecessarily rude comments to a new member to XDA is looking for some help...
If you start a thread, even when you're just giving a link to more info people will ask questions. I've been there, started a few compilation threads over the past decade on XDA and it never fails... people hope that since you compiled the list you have the info... Not to mention it is a Verizon mod and tmobile people will have different questions. But you enjoy being an ass... I'm gonna run to Fred Meyers and grab some cookies.

I would reflash without wiping anything first. If it is only the launcher FC, a reflash without wiping might fix what ever went sideways during the initial install.

I've had trouble with Pixel launcher as well. No problems during the beta, but after "official" it mysteriously stopped working.
Working awesome here! Nice and smooth!
I found the easiest way to install this through adb is, make sure you have adb/fastboot installed on your computer, DL the play store mod file, extract it and all you have to do is CLICK on the play store rom.bat and it automatically opens the command window and the directions on there will guide you through the process.
MAKE SURE your home screen grid on the TouchWiz launcher is set to 5 x 5 as that is the default grid on the Pixel launcher. If it is set different on the TW launcher it messes with the Pixel launcher viewing. It offsets the app icon grid and makes icon s look crooked on the screen and widgets are all out of place also.
