One of the most common tasks i do many times a day, is turn the wifi in my ATT Tilt on and off. For this I have to go to the Comm Mgr and toggle it on and off. I've always wanted a one tap way of doing it, and had used BatteryStatus in the past, but its icon was too small. With Manilla2D, we dont even have that option anymore, but we do have the nice big manilla launcher.
So i put together some C++ code from myself and from samples around the web, and made a simple exe that just toggles the wifi on and off. I've cabbed it up, so that it will install into \Program Files and put a shortcut in \Windows\StartMenu\Programs called AKToggleWifi.
You can now add it to the Manilla launcher and it will show up as in the attached screenshot.
You can uninstall it from the Settings\System\Remove Programs.
I havent tested it on any device except my Tilt/Kaiser running a 6.1 ROM from Sakajati (Hyperdragon/Blackstone).
let me be the first one to say: THANK YOU.
many, many people have been waiting for this kind of solution before.
regards
bro
nice solution =D
if you got your keyboard open (for the tilt) you can always hit fn + right and it has the same effect. i just discovered the button a few days ago and it made my life easier but so shall this app.
thanks
Just flat out awesome. Works perfectly, using the default AT&T WM6.1 ROM minus bloatware.

to be honest... it's recommended for anyone.. Hbutton is very very fast and works smoothly.. and also very stable.
you can set multiple apps for every button and there are many options to customize the way it loads them... also there are options to assign
Quit, Ok, Toggle WiFi, Toggle BT.. and many more options.
mmh, i use such a wifi toggle since one year, so i´m wonderíng why you made a new one, or did i miss anything ?
the one i´m using at the moment is also here at xda devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2788804&postcount=2
here is another one that is 2 Years old but i think i rember it works only on wm5
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/index_en.html (look at SmartUtilities)
so thank you for your work, but maybe next time some searching ?
big thanks for this function!!!
i'm looking for this for a long time!
i have a P3300 with alot physical buttons
then i searching to activate the wifi without switching to my home screen or comm manage to activate it.
if you can create samething for phone function
i'll be very very happy !!!!
thanks again for your work !!
i wanted something extremely simple to use, needed no configuration and didnt need other apps to be installed on the device. Hence i wrote this in C++. Yes, other tools can do more and thats great, but they all might require some setup. Since i flash often, i wanted something for myself that i can just use without using any brain energy. Hence the simple app. I'm glad some people find it useful... i certainly find it extremely useful for my own usage style. I released it to everyone rather than keep it to myself, because i have benefitted from the work by other developers on this site, and even if 1 other person finds it useful, i'm satisfied.

do you mean you want something to turn just the phone radio off, similar to how this one turns wifi off? i'll look into it..havent looked at those api's yet, but it should be possible. However, just out my curiosity, why you want to turn the phone off so often?

hehe dude. don't take this the wrong way. no one's judging. developing new apps is ALWAYS good.
cheers for the initiative.
I agree! Good on you for contributing! I want to say thanks for this app and I will be using it.
i am sorry AK and thanks again for your work.i just want to inform that there are allready existing such wifi toggles. they are simple small exe files and dont need any other application or must be modified, like yours.
HI!
Thanks for this great tool!, I will save some of my times
Could it be possible to get the same but for bluetooth ?
@akarnik: thanks mate, for a useful application. Cheers!
Just notice that S3 has a new feature, Smart stay. It is a good feature and am looking for long. Sometimes, I have a couple of notes to do a public speech and would like to put it in my mobile. Unfortunately, after a couple of seconds, the display becomes dim and locked. It is very cumbersome to unlock the unit. Is there any utility app to give me the similar feature? Thanks!
you can simply use "screen on" app from the market, it will allow your screen to be awake until you close the app(any app) use on speech.
do ask your questions in Q&A thread next time
Or you can use intelliScreen, has some more functions than ScreenOn.
Both should be more energy efficient than the Smart Stay feature, because the camera isn't used here.
Wonder why Samsung used this method instead of a definition per app -.-

defention per app needs manual work, smart stay is actually indeed smart , no need of manual work to setup the apps and it also turns the screen off only when the user is not seeing the screen.

Hello!
I have been looking for it some time and I couldn't find anything specific.
I know that is not possible switch between 2G and 3G in a stock ROM except from Settings.
But I also know that some CyanogenMOD have a button than can switch in the status bar.
Why isn't possible switch between 2G and 3G using a widget or an app (even being root!)? Why is not possible emulate the Settings button? Is not possible even recompiling some parts of Android (and making an apk or something to install via Recovery)?
I know the short answer "because Google doesn't allow it", but I'm looking for a technical one.
Thank-you very much.
Thats a rather advanced feature, and most stock ROM's are set up for noobs. They dont put that feature in there because they dont expect the majority of users to use it.

So, is it possible to make a custom STOCK rom that allows a widget or a program (like Tasker) to switch between 2G/3G?
Where could I find more information about this topic?
Thank-you very much for your answer and your time.
SOLUTION
I was able to do it in my stock rom by following this guide

With that attitude you won't get anywhere, you can't just come here, click your fingers, and people jump to your service.
For a start your initial post is virtually incomprehensible, so maybe start by trying to clarify what your problem is

maybe i m newbie here but when i see some1 i can help i help them first i did open in the wrong section people say nothin but go to help section and in here nothin usefull i m not angry couz i m not responded i m angry couz people make responses that doesnt help my problem is simple apps are restating after a while they are not crashing they just restarts and i m thinking its couz of ram-rom management.
the reason nexus 4 will have better multitasking will be because its vanilla so has no bloatware and also it has 2 gb of ram where sgs3 has 1. most roms have some sort of multitasking fix and scripts to help free ram if thats what your asking. for example on the rom i use i have 200mb free most of the time.

this looks like a whatapp-due problem, which is not solved (and probably womt bcuz android 2.X.X is outdated ) (my friend had problems too with whatsapp and facebook-msgr, when he tried out old-fashioned cm7.2 on his galaxy.. ) we switched back to ics and it was gone , he use mobile networks...
maybve u try friends sim, to look if whatsapp works better on mobile networks?
if not come to 4.X.X
BTW! MAN THIS IS WRONG THREAD!!! IT'S Q&A!!! help keep xda clean and say it also others who post questions/reqeust/etc. to themes and apps!!!
thank U!"
peace, bejunk
thanks for ua rply...bt al of my friends whatsapp work fine even when they r on 2.3...and i dont want to switch to 4.x coz gingerbreads performance is awesome...

ok. and yes i understand u gb is simple and good in games :good: no comparement to 4+, and everybody should use the rom that fits him as well
hmm, the problem is look: like u say u try diffrent kinds of GB rom's , we can say its not software-due, also u installed whatsapp more times(not restored from titanium etc) and may in app data ? so we can say its not a apk-problem, last what can be were provider problems but u using wifi so i cant be.......
... i have really no idea...
did have gb synchronization? and did u wipe also /data on fresh install? did us e use any apps like taskillers , greenify etc???
.. dont kow more at this tme:crying:
and for the Q&A: if think ur wrong bcuz
1. read the rules (also in Q&A) if u tick ''this is an answer'' /requests for somewhat --> it belongs to Q&A
2. i think u missunderstand the forum title as this is an development forum 'apps' is meant as: ready developed/modified/or in devolping APPS!
in this section u post only 'new' stuff u maked/modded - QUESTIONS are forbidden ; ONLY THREAD-related --> so if ur on an thread about an mod there u can post questions!/requests.
.. some people also post requests here bcuz they havent read the rules or simply dunno '
i sometimes restore titanium backups and sometimes not...in both cases whatsapp gives the same problem...and yes sync is turned on in whatsapp..and no i dont use task killers bcoz i knw they r not good for android...
the good thing is....today my whatsapp is working better than other days...its quite fast (im on cm7 still)...i jst hope it works the same all the time...nd plz tell me if u find any solution to it...
nd ok ill see to it that next time i post threads in the right sections..

i think its a problem with xperia 2011 series....should we try contacting the developers of whatsapp??
and @bejunk..thanks...sure do me a pm
lolzzz....check this...
ME to the developers: I have a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i) with android 2.3. My
whatsapp works very slow, it seems like my whatsapp gets internet
connectivity after every 2 minutes, because all my messages are sent after
every 2 minutes, and I even receive messages after every 2 minutes. In
between these 2 minutes I can't check anyone's last seen or their display
picture and can't even update my status.
And if I use android 4.0, my whatsapp works very well, there is no such
problem. But due to some reasons I want gingerbread on my phone, so please
fix this problem.
their reply: Hi,
Thanks for your message.
We currently do not have a feature that allows you to go invisible or hide your online status from contacts.
However, there is the option to block certain contacts. Once blocked, you will no longer receive messages from that contact, and your "last seen at" or "online" status will not be visible to them.

Hmmm...have you ever wonder if this problem is more related to custom kernel rather than whatsapp or the ROMs itself????
Some user forget that the Custom Kernel is also related in internet connectivity...some Custom Kernel (i won't mention which one) have a problem in synchronizing with FB, Games and other social app such as Whatsapp...i know this cause i have been using a couple of Custom Kernel on the same router just to see the different and i can confirm some of them do have synchronizing problem....

maybe u r right...bcoz i used the same kernel in all roms (miui,joyos and other cm7 based) as all those rom developers recommended that kernel...but right now i am on fxp kernel, and it has the same problem...and what about stock kernel?? as far as i remember, it has the same problem (i didnt use stock for a long time)...so can it b a kernel problem?
as iPusak Gaoq™ said it can be a kernel problem, i tried stock kernel and stock rom again...and yes there is some improvement, but yet sometimes there are connectivity drops...stock rom+stock kernel has better whtsp than cm7 based roms and kernels..but not yet as perfect as 4.0...but anyways its manageable...thanks everyone for help
EDIT: i noticed something..in stock rom...i cant check anyones last seen or cant send message...but, as soon as i go in my contact list and click 'refresh' evrything wrks fine...
