Does any one know how to make an app that can auto on/off connectivity functions?
For 3g,Bluetooth, airplane battery saver??
That would have been perfect. I don't like to have to go into an app to do that, it should have been possible to do it just from a tile.
i don't think the api's necessary are available to developers for that, but i agree it would be a killer app to have.
have it timed auto/on/off
At least for unjailbroken devices I can assure you that this can't be done with the current APIs. Otherwise Apps like Connectivity Shortcuts and Network Dashboard would use this instead of linking to the settings pages.
It might be possible with a jailbreak but as of today i have no App that managed to change those settings programmatically.
What would be killer is to have the phone toggle "ON" wifi when you are at home based on your GPS location. And automatically turn it "OFF" when you were no longer within range.
Its really frustrating as this should be simple for MSFT to implement and this functionality works really well on Android.
I love it that my phone turns the bluetooth on for me to drive to work and BT off and the Wifi on when I get home.....
Hi,
I am currently using a VPN to get into my network & Then accessing my data that way. However to get to it in Gingerbread, I have to hit menu, then settings, then wireless, then scroll down to VPN, then click on my VPN, then put my password in & hit connect.
It would help a lot to be able to just click on my VPN link on the 'home' screen. I cant figure out how to get the shortcut there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rich
I just tried and you add a shortcut to your home screen, just as you add a widget.
I dont see anything related to a VPN within the shortcut menu or widgets. Any ideas on how to do a shortcut for the VPN?
Tried anycut from the market?
Sent from an Epic in the sky.
Thanks, Anycut might do the trick, of course there is no VPN listed. Is there a way to determine what processes are running in Android? If i could find the VPN process, I could probably get it going.
I believe you can achieve this with Tasker. I know its a paid app but its an option.
As a side note, how did you manage to get tour vpn to work? Are you using ddwrt by chance? Since getting this phone I could no longer vpn over sprints network due to firewall issues. From what I found online if you ask sprint for a static IP it fixes the problem but they charge you a monthly fee. It used to work fine on my old HTC hero.

We use L2TP/IPSEC PSK at work though Sonicwall, and it works great.
I don't have a static IP on my account. Works fine from 3g or my home WiFi.

I am using a Zyxel firewall & L2TP also. It works fine but... sprints lousy service seems to stall out, requiring me to re login to the VPN. Yesterday with 1 bar, I was logged into the VPN but there was not enough 3g to actually use any data, but enough to stay logged in for 2 hours & not get any emails.
It works fine & I suspect if i had better 3g (or verizon) it would work OK.
I was using DDWRT & OpenVPN with CM7 on my Evo 4g & it worked but I switched to a new router.
Yeah, missing emails is never good.
We don't have an Exchange server at work (not cost effective enough to make it work properly across 10 locations), so I'm able to access my email with K9 via IMAP or POP3.
It's strange that it worked with one Sprint phone, but not reliably with another. Has data service had a general decline in your area?

You should try vpn show. You can find it in google play.
Check the "Launch VPN" app on Google Play
Sorry to revive an old thread. I was looking for this as well and found a way. Just adding if anyone searches for this sort of thing.
Add a shortcut to home screen, select settings, then look for VPN.
This works in my HTC ONE on 4.2.2
I use NFC Task Launcher on my Samsung Galaxy S4.
The following could be a little bit different depending on your phone's make and model and rom type. I did the following.
WARNING: I am not responsible for any damage made to your phone or anybody or anything else during the reading or by following the acts of this tutorial in any way possible.

Open up NFC Task Launcher and go through the tutorial.
- In the end you can create you own task.
- When you create a new task just click for NFC.
If you have NFC Disabled, just leave it like that and when it'll ask you if you want to enable it, press cancel. (TIP; if the top bar overlay is bugging with more information, just tap on one of the buttons after explanation to have it's focus come back to the window.)
- Name the task 'VPN' or something.
- Click on the cross (✚) in the right top corner to add an action
- Search for 'Applications & Shortcuts' and select 'Open Activity', then click next at the bottom.
- The application list will load up. Select 'Settings' as an application and the activities list will be updated.
- Choose; 'com.android.settings.Settings$VpnSettingsActivity' and select 'Add to Task' at the bottom.
- Then press the arrow to the right '→' in the top right corner.
- It will say you need to place a tag underneath it. DON'T DO THAT, AS IT WILL OVERWRITE THE TAG. (I hope you still have NFC OFF!)
- Just press the tick mark (✓)
- Now you have at least 1 task in the 'My Tasks' list.
Now, to add this to you're homescreen, do the following;
- Go to your homescreen.
- Add a widget like you would normally do. The name of the widget is 'Run Task', so look for the 'R'.
- There are 3 options there, background color (I personally like the black BG), select Icon (I've chosen the gear icon since its a setting) and select task. In 'Select Task' choose for the VPN task you've made and press 'Done'.
- Now press the task on the homescreen, and it'll open up the VPN list (at least on SGS4 it does).
- Connect to your VPN as you would normally do.
You can even write this to an NFC, but that doesn't make sense, since all it does is open the VPN settings menu, not connecting to the VPN directly.
Sidenote; This app is also handy for making other tasks, such as tweeting your at work, check in at Foursquare, send your boss an email that you're in the office and turn off the sound of your phone all in one task, just by connecting to your works wifi connection or by taping an NFC task.
Now you can easily connect to your favorite VPN easily.

Q How to hide particular files from showing up in Gallery or Music Player?
A Sometimes there are things that we do not want our friends or relatives seeing,So instead of deleting the particular files or moving them to your computer all of the time, you can hide them in just a few seconds.

Rooting:
Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. Rooting is similar to jailbreaking devices running the Apple iOS operating system. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system. Rooting enables all the user-installed applications to run privileged commands that are typically unavailable to the devices in their stock configuration.
Legality: The Free Software Foundation Europe argues that it is legal to root or flash any device. According to the European Directive 1999/44/CE, replacing the original operating system with another does not void the statutory warranty that covers the hardware of the device for two years unless the seller can prove that the modification caused the defect.
On July 26, 2010, the United States announced a new exemption making it officially legal to root a device and run unauthorized third-party applications, as well as the ability to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.
Safety: I Have always said that the person should learn the Android OS before rooting. It is a good idea to have an idea of what rooting is doing and what it will affect. I would say spend your time really learning the OS which is not a small task. Then, if you still feel like it, go ahead and root. While rooting can help you learn many things about your device, it also can reap very bad consequences, such as:
-Bricking your phone (or in an easier way to explain, making your phone a pretty paper weight).
-Corrupting core files.
-Voiding phone warranty.
-Have your phone open to malicious software and applications that can do serious harm to your phone.
As you can see, it can reap very negative things. I have read/seen people who have literally had to buy brand new phones because they tried the latest and greatest rom. Rooting is essentially something that you must take at your own risk & caution. Generally, if you follow exactly the procedure of rooting made by developers, you will be more likely on the safe side.
Root process: See Reynaldoj thread

Battery Conservation Tips:
-Set Brightness at low level: Brightness can lure a lot of battery if not changed intelligently. if you want to save more battery drain, set brightness manually at low level depending on the external amount of light.
-Remove Live Wallpapers: Using a live wallpaper is another battery sucking feature. If you turn out to be truly saving battery, make sure not to use any live wallpaper.
-Disable Location and GPS services: Keeping GPS ON at all times, decreases your battery life, so its better to disable it while not in use. To disable, go to Settings > Location and Secutity > and switch it off.
-Disable Wi-Fi or Mobile Data when not in use: Try to avoid situations when you keep your Wifi or Mobile Data ON even when the phone is set in standby.
-Manage Sync carefully: Keeping the Sync ON all the time is another reason for decreased battery life. Enable it anytime you want, manage your emails or services and again turn it off. For those who are on work and want real-time push notifications are advised not to follow this tip.
-Turn OFF screen touch sounds: To save a little more on battery, its better to switch off the screen touch sounds. To do so, go to Settings > Sound and untick Audible touch tones and Audible selection and Screen lock sound.
-Turn OFF bluetooth: Disabling bluetooth when you are not using it, is another way to save battery juice.
-Follow the method of full charge and full discharge: Don’t put your phone on charging when there is the battery remaining it for another few hours unless it’s very important. Charge it when your battery is about to get totally discharged and when you put it for charging, let it get charged totally.
-Set sleep time: Check the Sleep setting (under Display) and make sure it is set to 1 minute or less.
Keep calls short: This is obvious, but how many times have you heard people on their mobile phone say, "I think my battery’s dying," and then continue their conversation for several minutes? Sometimes, the dying battery is just an excuse to get off the phone (and a good one, at that), but if you really need to conserve the battery, limit your talk time.
-Turn OFF mobile network when not in range: Its very often that you lose the mobile network when you are travelling, so its advisable to turn OFF the mobile network by switching ON Airplane mode.
- After each month remove your battery from mobile phone and let it rest for an hour, it will give battery a breath and it will last longer.
-You should not have to turn off your phone to charge it. Most battery chargers deliver more than enough current to power your phone and charge it at the same time. Doing so will not lengthen the charge time, and leaving a phone on allows the user to be aware of its fuel gauge, so that you can remove it when the battery is full.
-When using a car charger, do not charge the battery when the inside temperature of your car is hot. Wait until the car has cooled before you plug in the phone.

Recommendations:
-Too loud wallpapers may sometimes disturb the look of your home screen and make the icons quite invisible, simple or a less-colored wallpapers are always suggested as to be the best choice. But your choice is what matters.
- Disable USB debugging when it is not in use. Leaving USB debugging enabled makes your phone vulnerable (e.g. lock pattern can be reset).
- Use only essential widgets on your home screen - each widget consumes memory and processing power which can slow your down your phone.
- Uninstall apps that you don't use - after awhile your phone can get cluttered as some Apps are designed to always run in the background. If you rarely use an App, then uninstall it to free up memory and CPU resource.
- It is best to avoid task killers such as Advanced Task Killer. Android is designed to automatically pre-load certain applications, even if you don't load them yourself. If it starts to run low on memory, it will smartly unload the oldest running apps automatically. Manually killing tasks will only mean they get loaded in memory again. Task killers can make the phone slow, laggy, or drain battery life more quickly.
- Avoid putting your phone in direct sunlight, it may affect touch screen & your battery performance.
- Check rom/kernel.zip md5 before flashing if it is convenient.
- Always update applications, if available, for better performance.
- Make a backup of your data, applications, contacts...always ready to restore from your computer.
- Read, read and read before you mess with your phone.
- Always be sure that you are flashing the right thing for your Young variant.
- If you do not know what you are doing, so don't do it .

you are right about *#*#44336#*#*, forget about it. the manufacturing date of hardware is "RF Cal date" you can find it when you dial *#12580*369#.
or type *#197328640#, This will open the Service Mode menu on your Galaxy device. Select the option N. 2, that is “Version Info”. On the next screen, select ‘HW Version” (here HW means hardware). Now you will see another set of options on the next screen. Now tap on “Read CAL Date”, and bingo!

Will never move this thread from my subscription list....:thumbup:
So I just got the S20 Plus and am loving it for the most part but there's one (admittedly niche) issue I'm having with it: it is obnoxious to just turn on USB tethering, which is something I have to do quite often so it's kind of a big deal for me. Like I'm not sure if it's always been the case with Samsung phones (I just switched over from a Pixel 2 that I used for 3 years, it had this option for as long as I can remember) but you could either go through Dev Options to change Default USB behavior to USB tether or simply click on the drop down notification that pops up whenever you plug in the USB cable and select tethering from there. On this phone, in both of those instances the option's just not there; they show pretty much every other possible function for a USB connection aside from the one that I actually need.
Basically, I just want to know if there's some shortcut/workaround or preferably a widget that I can use to just hit the USB tether toggle instead of what I have to do now which is Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > USB tethering. There's obviously the Mobile Hotspot button in the quick menu but pressing/long pressing that button both result in exclusively WiFi-related tethering but obviously that's not quite what I'm looking for here

Like I'm not sure if it's always been the case with Samsung phones (I just switched over from a Pixel 2 that I used for 3 years, it had this option for as long as I can remember) but you could either go through Dev Options to change Default USB behavior to USB tether or simply click on the drop down notification that pops up whenever you plug in the USB cable and select tethering from there. On this phone, in both of those instances the option's just not there; they show pretty much every other possible function for a USB connection aside from the one that I actually need.
Basically, I just want to know if there's some shortcut/workaround or preferably a widget that I can use to just hit the USB tether toggle instead of what I have to do now which is Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering > USB tethering. There's obviously the Mobile Hotspot button in the quick menu but pressing/long pressing that button both result in exclusively WiFi-related tethering but obviously that's not quite what I'm looking for here

There are shortcut maker apps you can use to add shortcuts to system settings
I use this one

Thanks for the quick reply and recommendation; this is pretty much what I was looking for, or I guess the closest I'm gonna be able to get to it (made a shortcut to the TetherSettings menu). Still find it odd that there isn't an option for it in either of the previously mentioned places but oh well, everything else has been great so far so I guess that's a fair tradeoff
