I'm thinking of getting a Verizon Touch Pro when it's available.
Right now, my battery life on my Motorola Q is terrible. I live in an area where the signal is pretty poor and I think that's the main reason for the bad battery life.
If I go into the "secret" settings on the Q, I can change it to CDMA Only and that disables EvDO and probably gives me at least a 50% increase in battery life.
Unfortunately, it's pretty much of a PITA to go back and forth.
So, if I get a Touch Pro, I guess I have to hope that it's better at picking up a signal (probably not, right?) or that there's some way to put it into CDMA Only mode.
Does anyone know, for sure, that'll be possible?
Now, if that's possible, does a program already exists or could someone easily just write a program that would give me a program icon that if I click it, it toggles the phone between CDMA Only and Automatic? I'm thinking something like the nodata program that I've used before, but even better would be just click on the icon to toggle and no submenus to go through.
I know on the Q when I change back and forth, the change is immediate (Ev icon turns to 1x and vice versa as soon as I make the change), so if I had an icon to just make the change for me without digging through 4 menus to make a change, I might be able to live with just activating EvDO when I'm going to use it.
Any help is appreciated.

I just upgraded from a q, i havent recieved my htc yet so ill try and help with your q problem.
First and foremost never ever let the battery run down. My q worked fine for a year and a half until tuesday the battery ran down and i got this
Anyway, make sure its not going out and checking your email every 1,5,10,15 minutes etc. That really kills the battery fast. Bluetooth too. When I disabled those i saw my battery life skyrocket, but it still went down pretty fast when i used the internet and camera. maybe those two things will help you in the interim though.
you think your moto q battery is bad wait til you get to the your touch pro. i forced my touch pro (data speeds sucked big ones) to 1x by going to settings phone and roaming i set it to roaming only? but that is a sprint version i dont know if verzion allows you to pick roaming only
benitojuarez, I appreciate it, but it's none of that. The reason for the bad battery life on the Q is that the signal is low and it's fluctuating between 1x and EvDO. When I set it to 1x only, the battery life is fine.
cjmedina, yes, I'm worried about that.
That's why I'm here. I'm still hoping someone could come up (either it exists already or someone could make it) with a little utility that when clicked would toggle between 1x (CDMA Only) and Automatic modes. I think I could live with that.
I can't imagine that'd be too difficult. You can force 1x on your Sprint, I can force 1x on my Q. The change takes effect immediately. There's got to be an easy way to program it to happen.
It sounds like you might benefit from this type of program as well. I know on my Q, I rarely switch back from 1x only, just because it's about a multi step process that's a slight PITA to make the change. If I had a one step process, I could leave it as 1x while it's just sitting around and quickly change it to EvDO when I want to use the net. At least that's how I envision it.
Lastly, I'm not certain that my Q hasn't just been defective for 2 years now. I even have the 2100mah Seidio battery and if i leave it as Automatic, I pretty much can't get a full day out of it. If I set it to 1x, I can make it though the day unless I use it real heavily.
I'm worried that unless the TP has a better radio, I might not even make it though the day on 1x only mode. I guess we'll see what happens.
Is there anyone who can assist here?
I can't imagine this is something too difficult. Everyone phone I've had so far allows it to be put into a 1x only mode.
With the work all of you guys do customizing, someone must have a good handle on what needs to be changed to put the phone into 1x mode.
Am I in the right place or should I have posted this in a different forum?
Well, hopefully, someone can come up with something...or point me to something that already exists.
Thanks!

I didn't come up with it but I have tested and it works like a charm.
To do this, you will need your MSL number, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you.
1) Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST).
2) You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone.
3) From the top left, select Modem Settings
4) Preferred Mode: The Default is Automatic, which is the best available mode (EV that will roll back to 1X when EV is unavailable). There are times when you might be in a fringe area and your mode may cycle frequently and this can seriously drain your battery. Setting this to HDR will force EV-DO only if you demand an EV-DO connection. Changing this setting to CDMA Only will force the phone to ignore an EV-DO tower and maintain only a 1xRTT connection.
*Change your "Slot Cycle" while you are on this page to one so your phone polls towers every 2 sec instead of 5 sec. I did know about this trick but did not know the force 1xRTT was one of the setting on the same page.
here is the cab for roaming only un zip and install
mrrogers1, I appreciate the response, but, first of all I'm on Verizon.
On my Q, I can do ##*, go into the "secret" menu, to to the option to change it to CDMA only, save it and back out.
It's just too long a process to really do it frequently, so I just wind up leaving my phone in 1x mode and that stinks.
So, what I was looking for is just a program to install that would activate/deactivate that option by just clicking the program icon.
cjmedina, before I install that, can you tell me exactly what that is? Is it for Verizon? What do you mean by roaming only? I want 1x/CDMA only. Will it just disable roaming or is it a toggle thing? I don't want to risk installing something that's not easily reversible.
Roam only wouldn't really address this because if you (at least for me) roam in EVDO coverage the phone stays in that mode. Forcing 1x is something different all together.
Changing in the modem settings is it for now and works well.
I went from a 9c to a Diamond. Maybe the TP is much different but my Diamond signal strength is a little lower than my 9c.
Combine that with the Diamond/TP already bad heat issues, battery life I don't think you'll be happy with it.
Just go to reg and mimic these keys.. It will enable the ability to switch it on and off in the settings panel.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"HiddenModeOperationPage"=dword:0
"HiddenAlertPage"=dword:0
"HiddenNAMSelectPage"=dword:0
"HiddenAlertPage"=dword:0
"HiddenVoicePrivacyPage"=dword:0
I actually found this elsewhere and it works.
---
Here is the Registry edit for enabling Hidden Phone Settings "Mode of Operation" option to pick 1X mode only.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting
Change the option HiddenModeOperationPage from 1 to 0
Then go to Phone/menu/option/service/and check in the list, "Mode of Operation" should be at the bottom. You have 3 choices, Hybrid, EVDO, and 1X.
---
With your way, it is supposed to appear somewhere else? You mention settings, but I don't see anything new there.
What does changing HiddenAlertPage, HiddenNAMSelectPage and HiddenVoicePrivacyPage to 0 do?
I'd still like an easier way to do it, like a toggle I can put in my start menu.

What would be really neat is an app that would force 1x unless you were in certain applications (like opera or you tube) and than switch to hybrid for the duration of the session.

That script is probably the best option. Otherwise there's a registry key that enables the menu option, though I can't remember where it is. Verizon usually has the option disabled so the key needs to be added to the registry.
So I found through the Advanced Config a way to add a 3G on off button in the comm manager, but as we are CDMA it does not work for us. Can anyone confirm what this button is trying to do? Perhaps a redirect to the reg setting for hybrid/1x?

I know you noted that it wasn't your idea, but maan, did it work. Thank you so much. that was the last step I needed for my HTC Touch PRO to work on MetroPCS web... this is the easiest method (rather them editing registry)!! Thank you much.
Has anyone made this work on a Verizon HTC Touch Pro2?
My extended battery lasts about 12 hours (EVDO 0-1 bars in buildings) and I think this could help me.
The *-something and #-something numbers place a call that says invalid number. The registry edits don't make anything for Mode of Operation appear under "CDMA Services" on Phone Settings.
Help?
Hey guys,
I've been on my Vibrant for a 1.5 month now, and I absolutely love it. Had my hiccups and speed bumps, but a great experience. I've so much the past month.
Thing is though, I was on BlackBerry for 4.5 years and it had a "connections" menu where I could toggle
Wifi/3g/voice/bluetooth.
But with the Android, it seems to only toggle Data /3g or WIFI.
there is nothing to turn off ONLY (Solely, singularly, by itself, exclusively) Voice Network, meaning the BARS.
Any help here? Call me lazy ass, because evidently I am, but I don't want to hit airplane mode, then reenable wifi again. I'd like a widget to be able to turn each wireless on/off independently.
I've searched, but nothing came up pertaining to my topic.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
You could use tasker to set up a profile for that. Hit a button and perform multiple operations. I live it so much I paid for it. Unfortunately there is no voice setting.

Thanks for your super quick response. Apparently, i've got lots more to learn. Sorry, but I haven't got a clue what you just told me.
1. Tasker: No idea what that is.
2. No voice setting: I figured as much.
Any further clarification?
Much appreciated.
So, over the past couple of weeks, my phone just randomly loses the ability to use data. I use that term because, 4G is still on the phone, i'm not getting a no service signal, I just can't do anything that would use data. I'll be at work, using the Wi-Fi, then i'll leave and all of the sudden, nothing. It's like my phone just loses signal, but doesn't tell me it is. The little arrows under the 4G symbol don't do blink, nothing happens. I end up having to restart my phone. I haven't done anything different for this to happen. No updates, i'm not in abnormal areas when it happens(even if I was, it comes back after restart), nothing. Anyone have any insight on this?
I've had the same issue for about a month now. I am rooted and used this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558
if i reboot i get my signal back, or sometimes if i toggle airplane mode on/off it will come back. haven't been able to find any fixes on it yet though...
I have the same issue, I've found toggling airplane mode works 90% of the time.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
If u go to > Settings>Wi-Fi and tap the hardware menu button (bottom left most button), tap advanced...see if Smart Network Switch is "checked". If so, try toggling.
This is the worst bug yet!
I hope someone finds a fix to this soon. I am running 5.0.1 on a Verizon S4. All the techs at the Verizon store could tell me is that I need to upgrade to a new phone. After telling them I didn't want a new phone right now they gave me a new SIM card but that hasn't helped either. When I go into an area where I don't get service it seems like my phone just stops searching (perhaps to save battery?) Then it never seems to wake up and find service again even after I go back to a known 4G location. The toggle airplane mode on and off thing rarely ever works, so I don't think the radio is just "sleeping" to save battery. A complete restart is the only thing that helps.

I have this same issue (stanglite 5.01 ROM) and have tried a number of things to resolve it. I can post those steps if it is helpful to the discussion. In short, I've tried several modems and resets.
I should specify that mine is not identical to the OP as mine specifically shows that I have no signal. and it doesn't seem to be trying to find signal.

Not sure if it's just me or not, but ever since the update, my antenna seems weaker. I've never gotten much service at my house, but typically, I could go near a window, or outside and get service. Now, once it goes so long without service, the only way to get it back is to restart my phone. I've tested this even going into areas where I know there's good service. I've tried toggling airplane mode on and off, and even that doesn't get it to hook back up. It's incredibly annoying having a phone I pay this much for, and yet, can't use it without restarting every time I want to make a call or text.

One of the responses from this or another thread on this subject mentions to try changing "Preferred Network Mode" to LTE/CDMA. I did this and then rebooted (didn't work until after the reboot). It seems to have corrected my issue (I did also uninstall some apps I don't rely on but otherwise no other changes). Note that after another reboot the mode seems to have switched back to Global, but the issue has not returned.
Change "Preferred Network Mode" from Settings > More networks > Mobile Networks > Network mode.

Hi Fellow ATT S7E Owners,
Some of us have chosen to stay Stock on this phone. My primary reason is not tripping Knox and using Samsung Pay. I have been trying to fix most issues or workarounds:
1. AdBlocking
2. Mobile Data toggle
3. Package Disabler to turn down the bloat
But for us ATT users, there is this annoying continuous notification that pops when we turn off data for the first time, after a reboot, EVER IF, we have WiFi on ! It goes, "Mobile data is turned off."
Googled and researched ways of getting rid of this annoying message. Wondering if any of you had success with it? Getting all of us to talk about it to see if there is a solution, thank you!

There is very simple solution . Turn your data on. If you worry that you get overages turn off some background data for apps. When you on WiFi your mobile data is not in use.
For all the hype about having control over your notifications, not being able to change this one is super annoying. I'm also guessing AT&T is trying to get us to us as much data as possible so they change charge us more.

It shouldn't have to be this way, if I don't want data on, don't you agree? Why have needless signal processing or searching when I don't need something? ?

The only way to get rid of it for now which is not very fun btw, Swipe right on the notification until you see the gear on the left and tap the gear. After that tap "phone" with the green icon next to the word "phone" and then tap "force stop".
So far that's the only way to get rid of it.

No Sir it was never solved and I moved on to the S8+.
The Theme I was using was called, "Red Strokes" I believe with custom icons and a wallpaper.
Hope someone cracks this!
Galaxy s9, Android 8.0.0 here. Following worked for me, check if it works for you:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Developer Options
3. Look for "Keep Mobile data turned on". Uncheck that.
And hopefully, voila...
EDIT:
This method does not work anymore...
1. Settings
2. Apps
3. Select Options, then Show System Apps
4. Locate "Phone" (Maybe there will be 3)
5. Select every "Phone" App that you find and select "Force to Stop"
and the message dissapers.
(If you restart the phone you will need to do this again).
Hello fellow Note8 and Tasker users. I'm huge fan of both and usually have lots of questions on how to accomplish things in Tasker. Some of those things are device specific, so I thought a thread here may be handy.
Let me start with this: does anyone know how to use Tasker to activate PowerSave mode? I'm a teacher and I'd love to have this active when I'm teaching (then turn that off during my lunch break/plan period). Is there a certain intent I'd have to send? Or is it simpler?
Also, without root, I cannot turn on/off mobile data or adjust GPS settings...
Any workaround that you guys know of?

That's actually really cool and I didn't know it could do that. The beauty of Tasker however is that it's automated. I don't even have to think about it. I step into work and my phone is on Powersave mode with no mobile data connection or Wi-Fi (while I teach). I get in my car and my GPS is in high accuracy mode. I go in the library and my phone is on silent. I go to a house I'm tutoring in and my calculator app is already pulled up. It's a thing of beauty!
Okay so it turns out the method linked earlier is already "prepackaged" so to speak: it's included in Auto Tools! I already had that app and didn't even know it could do this. So you still need to use ADB to grant it the proper permissions but it will save you the effort of getting the app factory and importing the xml file and exporting the app.
I'm excited to see if I can toggle mobile data this way! It seems to be hit or miss for different devices. Anyone tried on their Note 8?

I have been reading over this for a while. I was wondering if this would allow for toggling on and off wifi hotspot? I've been trying, but I read something regarding Nougat and how the name/service or something was changed.
I have no problem toggling it off and on using the quick tiles, but I have an Android car unit that I use my Hotspot for.
This worked on my older phones, being able to stick an NFC tag to my phone mount in the car to toggle the Hotspot on when placed in it. Or having the Hotspot start/stop when connecting or disconnecting from the unit's Bluetooth.
Thank you for any help in advance.
@wigglitz I'm not sure how to toggle Hotspot, at least didn't find anything related on System-, Global or Secure Settings.
If you are using Toggle Setting method linked before, here is how you can find what you can change:
These commands will show you list of available settings with current values
Code:
adb shell settings list secure
adb shell settings list global
adb shell settings list system
Now, if you are unsure if some setting is what you think it to be, I'll give you an example how to check it.
Let say by using command adb shell settings list secure you find setting install_non_market_apps
Now if you are unsure if that is the one toggling Unknows sources on/off, do this:
Toggle Unknows sources off from settings, then type:
Code:
adb shell settings get secure install_non_market_apps
This will return 0 (because you set if off)
Toggle it back on from settings and run same command, now it will return 1
Now you can be pretty sure that's the one and will be able to make task to automatically allow installing apps from unknown sources when opening Substratum (for example)

Look into Auto Tools (Tasker plugin). That's what I'm using instead. There's definitely an option to toggle hotspot. There's literally hundreds of settings to tinker with, but my understanding is that the success of the individual options depends on the phone model.
I'm testing to see if I can toggle mobile data on the Note 8 and if time, I can test wifi hotspot too. :good:
GOOD NEWS!!!
Mobile data CAN be enabled/disabled without root on the Snapdragon model!!
Use the app Auto Tools with Tasker, give the appropriate permissions with ADB, and it works beautifully!! I'm so happy. ???
GPS works too - I can change it from battery saver to high accuracy and back at will.
I used to disable Mobile data, but now I leave it ON all the time. When you connect to wifi it's not in use so why to even bother turning it off? When I'am not on Wifi it's on. What I'am thinking of doing to save more battery is switch to 2G when connected to wifi, my 3GB/4GB signal strength is not so good. Should save a lot of battery when at home.

I am a teacher. The wifi signal in my building isn't great plus I don't need it anyway when I teach. I turn off pretty much everything during the times I teach. I have Tasker turn Wi-Fi back on for my lunch/plan period and turn off powersave mode. I used to lose 30%+ a day at work while not even touching my phone (awful signal primarily). I'm hoping this helps me keep it to 10% or less lost. I'll report back!

Turning wifi is a must if you leave it on it will always scan for new wifi and drain battery. I use signal towers to turn it on when at home and off when not, works rly good and no battery drain.
Any idea how to turn on the Blue Light Filter with Tasker? I'm using Autotools as well. Can't seem to get the setting values to adjust. I tried the system setting Blue_Light_Filter and set it to 1, but that didn't work.

If auto tools can't help you can toggle any quick toggle with auto input.

I tried that but when I give Auto Input accessibility rights, my phone turns to a slug. Everything lags. It immediately stops when I remove accessibility rights. Do you have a similar issue or have you tried Auto Input on this phone yet?
