[Q] toggle wifi for certain apps - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi I got a simple question and was wondering if there's a simple solution for this...
Is there an app where I can assign data profile where if I launch facebook (an example) it would use wifi and when I kill fb, it'll go back to mobile data?

Yes, this can be done easily with tasker. Check it out.

Recommended Disabled Apps

What apps have you disabled on your note II? Just wondering in case anyone had encountered any issues. Not rooted, and no intentions of doing so anytime soon.

How are you planning on disabling apps without root?

Um, it's a feature included with ICS and higher. I've been disabling apps on my Note II already, just wanted to see what other people have been doing.

Settings/applications...click an app, to the right of force stop is a disable button. Same as freezing with Titanium as best I can tell. However, not all apps can be disabled. For example, I just checked Allshare Cast app, the disable button is grayed out, even after a force stop.

Restrict data

I am traveling to Europe this weekend. While I am over there, I would like to disable all mobile data on my phone. Occasional I would like to allow only one or two apps to connect to the network while restricting all others. Is there a way to do that? Maybe an app?
Thanks for your help.

You can disable your mobile data and just connect to WiFi

How to get rid of quick remote?

How can I get rid of quick remote from notification bar? Even after freezing the app it still shows on there can't seem to find any setting to the it off the notification bar drop down menu. Anyone having an idea? Using a LG G Pro.

Are you talking about quick remote or quick memo? I don't think quick remote stays in notification bar. Or are you talking about slides?

Here is a screen shot. Ever since I activated this app the remote stays and can't be taken off. I even froze the app and it still is in the notification drop down menu.

Oh, I think I had that same problem. I think I had to delete all the devices to get it to stop doing this. Also, it has a feature that allows it to automatically start devices when it connects to your home WiFi. Make sure that is disabled first. If that is not the problem then simply delete all devices you have set up in the app and it should stop.

Nope that doesn't help. It is only for the remote to show up automatically when connected to a WiFi connection you can select. Also freezing doesn't help it either. I also can't swipe it off the notification bar. It sits here forever.

Then delete tv1 and it should go away. If you have other devices set up you'll have to delete them also. This is why I quit using this app.

You might try SD Maid. Open the app, slide over to app control tab, tap screen to refresh app list, then scroll down to quick remote, tap it, then select freeze app. You can also use SD Maid to delete apps. You might have to buy the pro version. Not sure.

LG told me there would be no way ones opened the app to get the notification bar remote status gone. That is totally stupid.

You should just be able to tap on the QuickRemote button again in your drop down. If you've removed the button (or never had it in your dropdown toggles), then swipe all the way to the right of your dropdown toggles to "Edit" and then hit the "+" in the upper right corner. Now, when you tap on the QuickRemote toggle, it will toggle the controls that appear in your notification dropdown.
I hope that helps. What I described is the normal behavior on my device. I haven't removed or frozen the app and I'm stock/rooted.

Funny thing is that I contacted LG about it as well and they told me it could not be removed. Lol LG doesn't even know there own stuff that well.

Eye ball App

Does any one know what the eyeball with eyelashes up on my notification is? Also why when using Boat browser or any other browser it won't download video no more thru my regular data but it does thru my wifi? I had the G2 and it would work fine, just switched and it's not working any more.

It defaults to WiFi automatically (if it's available) to save use on your data plan. You can configure it to use data connection only in the advanced WiFi settings, not sure why you would want to, but the option is available.
And yes, the eye is smart stay/scroll etc... , you can turn it off by going into controls >smartscreen >smartstay. Keeps the screen on as long as it detects your looking at it ..

Unknown Icon Notification

So I get this icon that shows my CPU usage and battery that appeared randomly on my notification bar. I'm not sure how it got there but I'm quite used to it now and like the looks of it. Does anyone know how to enable or disable it just incase it goes away on it's own? Or should I be aware of it because it can be a harmful third party app?

Can you post a larger screenshot of your phone? I can not make it out. Also, are you rooted and running any Xposed modules?

It's actually getting on my nerves now and I want it off and I don't know how, I restarted my phones a few times and it's still there.

Are you using any 3rd party app that monitor your cpu status ect.? I know when I used "Quick System Info" app I had the option to shows those info on my status bar.
Does it also show in the drop down panel? If it does long press on it and chose "App info".

Open your notifications and tap and hold the notification then click app info.
Nothing shows when I drag the notification bar but the same thing it does now. It covers my icons under it and if I were to be on Youtube watching a video on fullscreen it still shows. I haven't installed anything in about a week either. I don't want to take it to T-Mobile and ask since my phones rooted also

Start over. Flash back to stock. Then start adding your stuff back 1thing at a time.

Can you provide a list of apps that you have installed? It would help narrow down which programs have the permission to draw overlays and that would likely reveal the culprit. Also, have you tried disabling the Xposed framework to make sure it's not one of the modules you installed (doubt it, but worth the trouble)?

You've installed something recently or changed an app's settings recently. That is an output from a monitoring app. CPU, GPU, or something of that sort.
You need to check that app(s) and uncheck whatever seems to point to showing it.

Agreed! It's definitely an app since it's always visible. It's creating a window on top of everything.
