I've searched and tried 10-15 of the apps or toggles on the play store and have yet to find a working toggle for the mobile hotspot. I have a Verizon S5, and apparently they have disabled the tile from the drop-down menu for some reason. So as it stands, I have to open settings, more networks, mobile hotspot, then I can turn it on. The apps that I tried would actually check the subscription status, but wouldn't turn it on or even take me to the screen where I could turn it on myself. I would prefer to not root my phone.
Thanks for any assistance or information
Power toggles free on plays tore.. Might..

Hi guys,
is there any way I can ensure that any of my apps/ syncs / anything does not access internet through whatever mean until I say otherwise?
At home I have Wifi, so it isnt an issue, when I hit the road (I have disabled Data roaming and appl syncs), every now and then, Vibrant starts connecting via Edge and just runs through my Balance
I run Advanced task killer every now and then, still no help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Power control widget allows you to easily turn sync off. It should be already installed. Long press on your home screen, choose widget, and look for power control. Hope this helps.

that was one of the first things i tried...
I use Quick Settings to turn off mobile data when I don't need it. I then turn off wifi when I'm out of range of work and home and only turn those back on when I'm going to explicitly use them.
I'm more of an "update when I tell you to" kind of user so this may or may not work for you.
I'm running Android 2.2 and forget if it was available in 2.1 as well but...
Try looking under Menu -> Settings-> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Network Settings, uncheck "Use packet data".
This should disable all internet access over the cellular modem while still allowing WiFi (when turned on). No extra apps / widgets, etc necessary.
This might be already posted (I can't find it), but is there a way to turn mobile data off? (And perhaps still leave wifi on?) I find background apps draining my data plan and I need to conserve as much as I can while I go on this vacation, and Wyoming doesn't need me to have status updates and other things.
I have background data and most services I can turn off from the settings but I don't see a way to turn off data without turning wifi off as well, which kind of misses how I want to use it.
Anyone know how to do this?
If you go into the settings and find "Data Manager" then hit "Data Delivery" and uncheck "Data Enabled" that'll do it.
Ahhh thanks!
Also you can enable flight mode then turn WiFi back on

But that kills calls. I want calls to be on all the time.
Grab Widgetsoid 2.x from the market.
You can make toggle widgets to turn your mobiledata on off, as well as wifi. It's the quickest, easiest way to do it.
APNdroid would be an easy way to achieve this, and it plays nice w apps like 3Gwatchdog.
Thanks. Ill use apn droid with juicedefender to maximize this beast.

I have a legit tethering plan and works when I manually go into settings and enable it. I want to quickly enable the hotspot as soon as I get in my car. I downloaded and tried many widgets to no avail. It's not even an option in Quick settings. Also tried using NFC Task Launcher by using NFC tags and the mighty Tasker app which only gets as far as disabling my wifi. Does anyone know off an app or widget that can toggle/enable Wifi Hotspot with this phone??

I have looked for some way of switching my tab from tether to wifi when I enter house. Nearest thing I found so far is "Hotspot Widget" it is in google play, I can not post links. This is a widget that switches hotspot function on/off. May be what you are looking for.
Did you get this working with the LG Optimus G? You mentioned your tab only.

Sorry for the late reply.
No I have Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i, on which I installed "Hotspot Widget" & when I click on the icon it switches my teather hotspot on & Tab automatically switches to it when I am out of range of my home wifi. When I return home I click on the icon again to switch teather hotspot off & tab logs on to home wifi. Give it a go.

I haven't tried it, but llama has an action to toggle WiFi hot spot.
Not to mention that llama is just plain awesome.
A portable wifi settings shortcut, on the home screen, is the best solution I've found so far. At least it is only two clicks.

Hi All -
I just got my S4 this past weekend (running 4.3) and I now cannot connect to the secure network at work. On my droid if I went to any random webpage the screen for accepting terms would come up, I would click the button to accept and it would connect. With the S4 I cannot seem to get that page to appear. It just uses the 4G for the 'net. If I put it into airplane mode with wifi on, it just has the "not connected" message (tried refreshing many times). I also have tried the wifi manager app (no luck) as well as restarting and using multiple browsers. In searching it looks like this is a known issue, but I can't seem to find a solution that works. I searched here as well (wifi authentication, S4 wifi, etc) with no luck. If I missed a page, I apologize - new here and most of it seemed to be over my head development. Any help or direction would be great as I'm very frustrated.
Thanks
I have to do the same thing with my school network, try to go to the wifi menu, go to settings menu, and hit advanced. There should be an option that says "auto network switch". Uncheck that.

That is already unchecked.
I have tried numerous hotspot widgets but yet have found one that actually turns on my hotspot. When I click on the widget it shows like it is going through the motion and the phone says that it is checking subscription and the icon for the hotspot shows up and then just goes away. The hotspot is never turned on. Yet, if I do it straight from the settings menu I can turn it on. I am not rooted, am on stock. Is anyone use a hotspot widget that works with this phone? Or am I missing something? Thanks.
Go to the android market and find foxfi it will work for you
