Hello. I want to use this phone as a WiFi router, but there's an option I have never seen on any other: the timeout. How do I disable that option, or is there any way I can enable again by command-line? If so, I can create a script to detect if the process of wifi tether is disabled and re enable back again. (I think I can do it)
Thanks!
So I have a data-plan on my phone, and that's it. The actual 'phone plan' is all VoIP, so the only time I need the phone's 3G radio on is when I'm not connected to a wifi network.
I've found many programs that can automatically do an action when I connect/disconnect from wifi, but for some reason I cannot find an app that just disables the phone radio. Airplane mode is not desirable because it disables all connections. I've found programs that attempt to modify which radios are disabled in airplane mode, but it seems like none of them are capable of leaving the bluetooth radio on. I always need wifi + bluetooth on, but the best I can do is airplane mode with wifi, and that's it.
Now I know it's possible to manually disable the phone radio and nothing else under phone info. Does anyone know of any applications that will press the 'turn off radio' button for me? Preferably, I would want two; one that turns off the radio, and one that turns it on so that I can coordinate the actions in my automating program.
Also, in case anyone is planning on saying 'herp derp you can reenable wifi and bluetooth manually after going into airplane mode', NO that is not what I want.

You could try this app: http://www.appbrain.com/app/airplane-mode-modifier/com.wparam.airsettings and you could also check out this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217038.
NB.: You cannot enable bluetooth while in airplane mode.
The first application I already tried, and although it works for wifi, it doesn't work for bluetooth for some unknown reason.
That second script is interesting; I can turn off the mobile radio, but I can't turn it back on. The guy that wrote that post seems like kind of a tool for acting like he just wrote a script, when really his entire script consists of only:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#!/system/bin/radiooptions
radiooptions 1
I checked the radiooptions API, and radiooptions 5 is supposed to turn the radio back on... but it doesn't seem to work.
Hopefully somebody knows a way around this :/.
Hi All,
Somebody have a any idea or hack for turn on the torch of an Android via IP?
For a wildlife photographic project I need to control the torchs of two old Android from my own Android. I will stay in the mountain, the old android have not SIM card (no 3G) and no bluetooth.
I have probing with Tasker and Wifi Zone:
- Turn ON Wifi Zone on my phone
- Tasker switches the light when the new Wifi is detect.
This works, but fail too much:
- Is very slow (when I activate Wifi zone) the other phones takes about 30 seg - 3 min on detect and connect.
- In one or two hours the devices tend to sleep and not connecting anymore
I think what the most usefull will keep the phones connected at my phone via Wifi Zone and controlling the lights via IP with tasker or similar.
Any suggestions are wellcome.
Thank you.
Hi folks,
since the Oreo update my auto enable task in Tasker stopped working. Tasker seems to be unable to switch the Wifi Hotspot on Oreo. I made a task that enables a hotspot for my car infotainment system as soon as the phone got connected to it automaticaly.
Any way to do this on Oreo with or without Tasker?
I would like to have the confimation (unlikely) that in this Android One we cannot disable the wifi network auto reconnect for single saved networks....is that really true?
