[Q] APN Switch Widget - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for something that I thought would be easy enough to get.
I need to switch apns quite a bit and it's just time consuming going down into the menus. Best I've been able to find is an app that lets me swap from one apn to the other but again more time taken. Ideally I'd like an app that would just switch from one apn to another and back again.
Been searching for over a week from the marketplace and forums and can find nothing except an on/off widget.
Thanks for any help?

Does this help?

If you're on ICS though, I assume its a no-go. Access level for applications to change APN Settings isnt allowed.

You can use Extended Controls, but with a trick. In the configuration menu you can set how turn off your APN, (changing name or turning off). Just set your second APN to turn off the data. You can easily swap between booths APN but you wont turn them off.
My english isn't good but i think you can take the idea.

Wifi - Fix required!

HI,

Have You the Problem too?

In the meanwhile try this:
Open Settings... Wireless & network settings... wifi settings... (press menu button, choose advanced). Wi-fi sleep policy should be "never sleep".
Long press on the network and choose "forget" and re-add it also fixes it for some.
If that doesn't help regulatory domain... change to the number of open channels (try 16).

Thanks, works great, even if there is no map, I can search for my street or zip code and then set the location.

Need to find auto-correct dictionary

No, not that one... I know where the 'Personal Dictionary' under Settings, Language & Keyboard, HTC Sense Settings, but that's not where my problem lies.
I have a stock HTC One from AT&T. No custom ROMs or anything like that. I have a bunch of apps installed, but nothing that relates to keyboards or input.
The issue I have is that in the past month or two my phone has started correcting 'mn' to 'mm'. Living in Minnesota, I type 'mn' a lot. It also corrects a variety of other words by adding a period '.' after them. It obviously learned this somehow through something I inadvertently did. But these correction mappings are not found in the 'Personal Dictionary' section. In fact, I've deleted all entries in Personal Dictionary and it didn't change things. I also went into app settings for HTC Sense Input and cleared the cache (or was it 'data'?). No change. This issue happens in any text entry field, from Contacts to SMS to Notes, to whatever.
I've opened a support case with HTC but they haven't been helpful. Tried a few troubleshooting ideas, such as testing in Safe Mode (still happens), but otherwise no results. At this point they are trying to get me to turn off Word Prediction, but that's not really the root of the mapping issue.
There has to be a database somewhere that maps these auto-correct words. Anyone know how to find & edit it?
Thanks!
Wow. No responses. Well, I guess that explains why I haven't been able to find anything via Google and HTC hasn't been able to help me. It is actually a mystery. It's very odd that there are mappings somewhere besides the 'Personal Dictionary' that are used but they are apparently well hidden.
Can someone else with an HTC One at least try typing 'mn' and see if it auto-corrects to 'mm' for me? At least that way I'll know whether a factory reset will fix this or not. I swear it didn't used to do this, but I can't be 100% sure.
Thanks!
I'm rooted and running a custom Rom BUT using stock keyboard. That being said I typed mn and it showed mm as default. I selected mn and it saved. Tried again and it came up mn as the first word. Also, have you tried a custom keyboard? Swiftkey is excellent as it learns your typing habits.

Also I've done this before, and may sound like a facepalm moment, but any chance you hit the language button without realizing you did it? I've done it before and changed it to FR.

That's awesome! I didn't know it would override things if you select the word you meant to type. That's good enough for me.
It's weird that the built-in autocorrect mapping changes mn to mm in the first place.
Thanks for the tip!

Okay, sorry that it's posting me here for some reason.
I'm not familiar with the applications on the phone yet so i don't quite understand how you want me to delete that folder. Thanks for the hint about the 0.0.0.0 not being allowed, shouldn't 'allowed'be the default setting for the ROM?
Also I haven't explored a lot on the phone, but I noticed that I cannot seem to add widgets in the personalization area. The entire field is blank and it's a bit of a problem for me.

I sent ya pm on A.Forums saying how to enable root explorer on ES File Explorer, when enabling root, ES will ask to use the su binary, SuperSU is in charge of that, and there will be a pop up asking you if you want to grant ES root privileges- to access your /system + other partitions on the device. Just press yes, by default, you only need to grant one time, and SuperSU will continue to allow.
I realize your a beginner(I was this time last year, thanks to xda n its members for the knowledge), you need to become familiar with your file explorer. I like Xplore best for navigating, it's UI- user interface is simple and shows a 'bigger' picture- but it's down side is it doesn't handle large operations well, so use ES to delete the framework-res FOLDER(not apk). It's useless, I'm not sure why dev left it in there.
So, in ES File Exp., hit icon in bottom right corner-view, press on 'medium detail', easier to navigate in this view. To free up more space, delete /system/vendor/pittpatt- find system, find vendor, find pittpatt and press and hold on it, options will show up on bottom, hit delete, hit OK. That frees up over 20 MB. It's for facial recognition to unlock screen I believe.
The reason ya can't add widgets(htc widgets that is) is because this is a 'Senseless' Rom. The sense launcher isn't in base Midnightrom. Although I put up a zip with Sense Launcher with widgets over on main thread. Get it if you'd like. The launcher we use is Nova Launcher, it's waaaay faster. I suggest getting pro version for better transition animations, plus you can enlarge icons.
The sense launcher is called Rosie.apk, it's a system app, and of course it's located in /system/app I've had trouble getting ol' Rosie to load unless I flash the zip before the first boot, if you still want her, wipe and reflash.
btw, what all zips did you flash?

Here's some tidbits of info.
If you don't like the Nexus bootanimation, you can delete it- it's located at /system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation. But it will then display the fallback boot animation that's customized for me. You can find a variety of them in our devices threads. Charlie Brown(for Christmas), Thundercats, 3D ones,etc.
You can add audio to boot, name it android_audio.mp3 and stick it in that same folder. Down animation sound is audio_out.mp3.
Use my fonts package, stomp on the boring.
After flashing the music mods zip, it'll enable xLOUD and sound will be LOUD. To disable, go into Walkman, hit menu key, Settings, Sound Enhancements, options for equalizers will pop up, don't click checkbox to use as default, hit sound enhancements, settings at top right, untick XLOUD, And if the eq isn't working, greenify Sound Enhancements.
There are scripts that run automatically at boot time. They're in /system/etc/init.d. Shell scripts can do a variety of things, such as change kernel parameters, how your 'internet functions', when your android kills apps, activate swap(s), and so on.
Try switching to a Sprint prl.
Use Xprivacy and AFWall to block apps from connecting to internet.
Xposed modules are activated in Xposed Installer- I have thread of which ones are useful on this phone.
I suggest getting app called Logging Test App and its Pro Version. It's only a buck and very useful. Plus it's by XDA legend trevE that unveiled HTC's spying practices and our vulnerability, and who also brought us WiFi Tether, support him!
Rom Toolbox let's you choose which apps you want to start at boot in Auto Start Manager menu.
Greenify and Pro are musts for battery life, stop 'most' apps from running in background- there are exceptions. Use in tandem with Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats.

I remember finding a list somewhere with the information on it but I can't locate it anymore. The Slot Cycle Index is currently 2, which is the default. I believe 0 and 1 are for emergency services only. So I don't know what the benefits of lowering the number by one are. I don't know what SID/NID to switch it to so I can't change that. I changed the EVRC home page from EVRC to EVRC-B, and I enabled Dormant Handoff Opt. Both were not that way by default.

Are you sure this will foil the data throttling that sprint does?

@reshy
No, you'll still be throttled. It was explained to me that your data usage is being measured on the server's side, not from your device. Although, there's still a folder at /data/system/throttle. Why, I dunno, I investigated it, couldn't find anything out. There's an init.d script that will erase files in that folder and change the permissions so it can't be written or executed.
btw, please redownload and flash the FlashEtc.zip because there was a script in old that is deleting your stock browser's bookmarks, sorry about that. And on that note, I had asked if you're s-off because am wondering if your flashed the mod kernels. Reason being- Mac Kernel(original kernel with Midnightrom) uses zram, which is incompatible with the turbo boost zip I posted, just saying, don't use Turbo Boost with original kernel.
Back to the question, there are Roms that claim no throttling(and confirmed by some users). Negalite is one, get version r121, it's stable, and you could see if you're not throttled if that's been a problem for ya. You can choose Sense option in aroma installer too, if you don't like Nova launcher.
The values given for changes in epst##778# are tailored for your part of country, hopefully will speed up 3G.
Edit- Check out this thread- http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?t=858735
Again, some confirm it, some say no go. 00runnow is init.d script that has what they're talking about. Pay attention to what ModdingMyMind says.
You could make use of afwall to not allow apps to use 3G data. For me, I don't let Facebook or Messenger use 3G. Check out your main offenders in Settings, Usage.

Been having problems with the ROM, I think I will need to reinstall (the file partition system is unable to install any new apps what so ever and cannot connect to Wi-Fi networks). Can you post the installation tips again and how to backup and restore the data for convenience sake?
Other issues happening too, like the phone resetting whenever I attempt to send an App to the SD card and the like.

How to Block or Blacklist All Xfinity wifi Hotspots Want to Connect Hotspot Popup?

I have a new phone with Android 8.0 on it. Whenever I pass through or by somewhere there is an Xfinity hotspot a popup appears and sort of halts everything else asking if I want to connect. It is always annoying, but, I can necessarily get to it and deal with it if I am driving or doing other things.
I've heard that it is that somehow, somewhere, sometime you have signed into a Xfinity hotspot. It creates an account on the network apparently and not just at the location you are at. I guess if you have an Xfinity account for cable and all the rest you get one as well. I may have done the former, but, I don't think I have the latter, although I do have a Comcast account just for cable TV. Maybe they created an Xfinity account for me and my phones somehow. If I go their site I can't find any password I'm likely to have used that lets me sign in though. Anyway, I hear if you can log in it lists any devices or yours and you can delete them.
How can this thing be blocked or blacklisted. I don't have a rooted phone yet. If I can do it with just the phone that would be great,but, I'll use an app if there is one.

Here's how to turn off the Notifications...
Go into your System Settings Menu and select WiFi...
On the top right side of the screen, select the 3 dotted menu and select the "Advanced" option.
At the top of the menu is the "Network notification". Just turn it off (the toggle will slide to the left).
Now exit them all and now you won't receive any WiFi Notifications. It doesn't turn off the WiFi, it just stops the Notifications for it.
I hope that I had explained this okay via text...
Good Luck!

OK, thanks. I'll check it out later.
It looks like it has been an issue for a lot of people for a while now. Maybe Xfinity keeps adapting to any fixes along the way.
It sure is annoying. I saw one person said they were using navigation and it popped up over their map, couldn't respond to it because they were driving, etc. Someone could get injured.
