Hi there,
I've done some searching and can't seem to find any app capable of disabling and enabling hardware in the android system. The Windows equivalent of this would be the device manager, in which I get a list of all the hardware the OS knows about and can disable or enable it at will. Now obviously the Android settings already allow us to turn on and off the Wifi, cell chip, NFC, GPS, etc., but we have no control over the camera or the microphone, for instance.
Plus, now that airlines are beginning to allow phone use, it might not be long before airplane mode disappears from devices.
Obviously such an app would require root permissions.
If anyone knows an app that can do this, or whether this is even possible, please do tell!

Hi, other than the obvious "turn off your wifi" I was wondering if there is a way to more selectively manage probing requests in android. I am always forgetting to turn off my wifi when I leave the office/home and don't really like the idea of my phone broadcasting so much info about me in the requests (esp when i don't need wifi). I have been looking for settings but didn't find one and was thinking about an app perhaps that maybe can turn wifi off based on location (though i guess that would need gps which would be another issue?). I would settle for something that turns off wifi once it is out of range of a certain point (like home or work) for a certain period of time, then i could just turn it on manually when I am say at a cofee shop or whatever (and maybe it could turn off again when that point gets out of range).
I'm investigating this as well. I've scoured build.prop and bcmdhd.cal and am not seeing a way to disable probe requests. Anyone?
Well, i am bit frustrated because, i have connected to wifi, and i need to connect to the phone, to download, News, Weather data, apps and all these? Then what is the point of Wifi? How is it a standalone device. I also do not have a Samsung device now.
It's not a standalone device and never claimed to be. Yes, it can make calls and has GPS but it does need to be paired with a Samsung phone to fully function. This has been discussed at length and in detail from the launch of the phone.
As I have my phone on me at all times thought I might be able to use it as a trusted device for the tablet? Supposedly lollipop supports android use as Bluetooth LE peripheral but I can't seem to get them to connect in a normal fashion?
I have this working with my LGG2 (running CM11). In order for it to work though, you have to pair the phone to the tablet, then share the phones internet connection. It doesn't seem to be a good solution, as the devices only connect when manually selecting "internet sharing" in the BT phone settings on the tablet.
I'm also trying to accomplish this. Anyone else have a solution for how to use you phone as a trusted device to unlock your lollipop tablet?
As long as I manually established an active Bluetooth connection (by using an app like Tablet Remote) it will stay unlocked, but how can we get a paired trusted phone to establish a connection to a tablet without some sort of manual intervention?
Thanks.
On my android device the display has broken down, whereas the device itself is working. Without recovering the display, which I don't know how to do, how can I control and utilize my device? Via ssh? How exactly?
Or what are other ways to utilize it including programming, downloading something from the internet on a regular basic, using it as a web server?
For years I've been using apps that change sound profiles (e.g. Tasker) when I am near cell towers or wifi routers WITHOUT the need for location/GPS to be enabled. When I upgraded to Android 9.0 Pie wifi polling stopped working when location is not enabled. I read that cell polling is also not working.
My desire is to have this functionality (near cell / wifi polling) WITHOUT the requirement of location to be enabled in Android settings. I simply do not want my location to be tracked quite precisely 24/7.
Is there a solution or some workaround to this problem? Maybe some additional apps, Magisk modules, custom roms or something else? At least I would like to have the option to disable GPS if location is enabled (there is no such option in stock Android). I have a rooted Smasung Galaxy S9+.
Ohhhh I don't know

How are you guys using Tasker on Android 9?! It's a popular app with 1M+ downloads and I can't believe that noone is sharing any experience with Pie!
