Mobile toggle button on A5 2017? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hey folks,
I just bought Galaxy A5 (2017) and I can't find the mobile toggle button in the notifications area. Other phones have a menu or mode in which one can add or take away toggle buttons. I can enable and disable the mobile data by crawling through settings menus, but that's inconvenient. The Android version is Nougat.
Does anybody know how to get the mobile data button in the notifications area?
Thank you
K

Hi,
Pull down your notification bar once again when it's pulled, and you should have it, if you want it at first pull, hold your finger on any toggle buttons and drag it where you want

Thank you for the reply, but nope, it's not there.

Post screenshot of your notification bar pulled down please

Are you sure you're on Nougat? I don't think Nougat's been out for A5 2017. What region do you/ does your firmware come from?

Hi there, thank you for the question. The version is Android 6.01 . The phone is the stock Samsung, the carrier is Bell Canada.

1. Press one of the toggles longer, then you'll get into another setting for your notification toggle, where you can choose what to put there, including Mobile Data. Bear in mind that you can't switch network through that toggle, only to turn it on and off. To switch networks (2G/3G/4G) you still have to go to Setting >> Connections
2. It's even written there: 'Tap and hold a quick setting button to bla bla...'
3. Android 6 is called Marshmallow. Nougat is 7. We would have heard if Nougat has come to A5 2017!

Hmmmm, I don't see the Mobile button there. I suspect that the carrier asked Samsung to remove it, so that we'd use more data by accident.

My videotron a5 has the same issue. These are the options I have.

Tabarnac! Stupid Canadian carriers!!!

I found a webpage with instructions that allowed me to set up a data toggle on my Canadian A5 2017. You don't need to root your phone. You will need to buy the Tasker app (~$5 at the Google play store).
I'm not allowed to post links because I don't have enough posts. If you google 'project_share_toggle_settings_eg_location' the first link listed should be to the reddit page.

Look here: https://www-xda--developers-com.cdn...ttings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
I had the same problem and this worked for me!

Just remember every time you update your firmware or factory reset, it will disappear. I just finished doing it again from the August patch.

[Q] Vibrate on Galaxy Tab 3 - 7.0?

Hi. Just a quick question... is the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T210) supposed to have Vibration functionality?
In games and apps that have vibration feedback, it doesn't do it. Nor can I find any option relating to Vibration in the Settings. I'm wondering if this is a warranty issue or a cost-saving "feature."
Edit: If it is supposed to have Vibrate features, can you advise me on where I should be able to access Settings for it?
Edit 2: I meant to put this in Q&A, but can't seem to delete. Could a moderator please move this threat over? (sorry)
Thanks in advance!
I don't mean to be rude, but BUMP.
250 views, two weeks, and not a single person can provide a simple yes or no???
I start sharing T211 kernel in development section (and no feedback from T211 owner around here so far). There's a vibrator driver in T211 but no in T210.
No

Minealso doesnt vibrate, but not sure, if it s a driver problem, or missing hardware. @ketut.kumajaya did you try to enable it in the config/driver source already?

The answer is yes and no wile in the setting.storage.apk/settings/secure db the option is there I enabled it and the problem is that samsung went the cheap route and didnt put the vibrator inside the tab along with other things like led key lights and the notification led light

[Q] Edge screen panels

I know its early days and not many people have a Note Edge yet. I really hope someone can help me out on this when they do?
My Note Edge (Korean model), does not have the Twitter, Yahoo sports ticker or the yahoo news panels. This is very frustrating because I was really looking forward to these. I wonder once its available in the US, if someone would be able to extract these panels from their roms somehow?
Im stuck with some panels showing Koren information from a source called Daum.
By the way, there's a new panel available for download - its for the S Planner, I love it! It shows upcoming appointments. Only downside is that it will only show appointment the day.
Same boat. In Korea... Daum ticker.
Hopefully something changes
Yeah, waiting for something to change soon. :fingers-crossed:
Well i have my phone but the problem now is root.
I wont be able to pull the ticker from my phone without rooting it first. I would try to note 4 method but i dont wanna be the first to try it lol.

Thanks for even considering, mate. I wouldn't expect you to start messing with a phone you just purchased for huge amount of money.
I might try to root mine if there are some step by instructions. I am just not very familiar with rooting since I haven't done one for ages.

Ok root explore has access to the system, but its in read only mode. So i can copy that, just not sure what the edge panel apk is called. Ill check it out later on tonight and see if i can find something
Then maybe for the time being it can resign it and able you to install it as a apk vs system apk.
Not sure its been a while since i done that.

For what it's worth when I had the Docomo version of the edge I rooted via some Japanese dev sites that got it done very quickly. And to add custom recovery I was able to use my own tmobile TWRP file and it added custom recovery no problem. So I'm sure it's a very similar process because they basically same sans the edge screen

I tried that explorer after your message I could see the Cocktail Ssysrem apk but it doesn't list any individual widgets. (Image attached).
Phone is full of sk telecom apps.
Why did bloody Samsung or sk telecom put these useless Daum ticker panels on the phone I got??? Why couldn't they just leave the Yahoo panels on it???
How do I get hold of these panels???
you're really not missing anything with the twitter app it only shows trending terms with it had your timeline

I think it's something called Cocktail bar apk. I posted a screenshot on page 1. I'm not 100% if the edge panel apps are there though?

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?
The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.
I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.

Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.
I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.
The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.
If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.

Build.prop is on all android devices. Also samsung has CSC settings you can change to effect some settings.
CSC is in /system/csc/

The app doesn't work on marshmallow or apps like multi window toggle.apk doesn't work too. i could only restore it with root. If you have rooted Your device you can download csc features experts for samsung. Open the app and scroll down till you find "Config def quick serting item" add a comma and "MobileData"
Click save and reset setting from phone settings (not factory reset). I wish it works for you

Network toggles (2g/3g/4g)

Hi there,
in the past in the cm and other roms I had those quick toggles available, nowadays I can't seem to find them working on the OP3. I know about gravitybox and such, but those do not seem to be working flawlessly at all (though I'm not sure as it's been since OP1 i even tried)
What roms do still support that ? Or is android not making it possible anymore ?
I never posted this question, but can't seem to find same question either ...
Is this only me or have I been looking in wrong place ?
Thx for any help!
I'm currently using exodus rom
you can use the app "power toggles" for it. it works fine.

what version of android do you have ? I see a lot of comments of toggles no longer working as well ...
As I thought... No 2g/3g/4g toggle there...
I'm using this with Tasker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.togglenetworktype
It also works without Tasker as a widget.
This is best app to toggle Network modes.
Its also free for xda users
Also have tasker support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/widget-toggle-network-type-5-0-xda-t2945406

it's same app as above but its free if you download through xda

Tile for quick data SIM switch, port possible?

Hi there, I recently switched to a HTC U11 and am really missing the tile for the data SIM switch. Is it possible to export this or make a magisk module that can be used on other phones?
You've asked in the wrong category. Question should be asked in "OnePlus 3T Questions and Answers".
