[Q] Default data toggle widget, disable "Allow data traffic?" message

Hi,
I like the default data toggle widget and I use it a lot. But there is a problem - when I enable the network data, there appear a big message - "Allow data traffic? .....".
It annoys me, as I see it at least 5 times per day. Is there any way to disable it ? I am even ready to root the device for that
P.S. Yep, I know that there are other alternatives on the market but this is the last way I would count on.
Thank you in advance.

If I'm correct, the message isn't from the widget, but from the native android. It's there to warn user that enabling will cost you money.
I don't think you can disable that unless (not sure yet) you touch something in the system (of course, rooted for that).
well I wish we could! It's driving me insane, having to click the damn thing everytime. I KNOW it's going to cost me money to use teh data connection, I have an internet plan thank you very much.
That and the "Oh noez you switched data off!" notification on statusbar are annoying the hell out of me.
So, I rooted the device. Can anyone give me a hint how to remove this message ?

I am not sure about this, I am just asking. May be someone knows.
Maybe just assuming that with root access one can alter a variety of things in the OS. But yes that message is hella annoying and really should be shown only the first time.
I don't see other phones do this and my old phone either so there must be a way...

If you are just looking at removing at msg saying the data is disabled, just pull the notification bar and click on the "Clear" button.

Try Widgetsoid. You can create your own widget that one give that dialog. And loads of other handy ones, like batt/cpu info, flashlight, screen-on lock etc.
Well, I realized that is more interesting to write my own data toggle widget. Mobile data and WiFi already works, with no warnings

Most annoying for me is the GPS warning one Never had it before on my Desire.
Even when using a Sony Smarttag to automate the turning on of the GPS you still get the warning dialogue. Annoying as hell.
Those warnings annoy me too! I wish I could get rid of them... And they do pose a problem if I want to automate tasks, what were Sony thinking of???
They should add an option "Don't remember again" when that message appears.
It's ok to advice you the first time you turn on Data, but is necesary to say the same thing five times a day?
If you add to your phone the notification toggles, the message will not appear if you turn on/off data from there. (With 2011 Xperia was so)
I can understand why someone would turn off data, but why turn off GPS? As long as you don't have an app open that actually uses GPS, it doesn't do anything.
I personally NEVER turn off GPS, Data, NFC, ... The only switcher I ever use is WiFi.
If your rooted you can freeze certain apps...I found you can disable the unsupported headphones notification by freezing the following app:
com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier
Theres probably one on there that causes the notifications for 3G data toggle, but I've not found it so far yet.
And yes, I do agree that the notifications are a tad annoying!
I've added a small application widget to android market. It allows to switch on/off network data without any notifications. Please help me test it

Does it still ask even when youre using the NFC tags?
Cause they just updated the NFC app with adding on Data traffic and stuff. anyone tried? and i just ordered NFC tags on ebay. :S

Just tried it and you do not get a message for turning data on.
Enabling GPS still gives a message. This annoys the hell out of me because their advert for smart tags clearly shows this as a use case.
[shameless plug]
If you find you need more tags, or your want some cheap ones you can stick to things (including ones designed to be stuck to metal), just buy blank ones (about 60p each) and use my new app for turning them into Xperia SmartTags

[/shameless plug]
So, anyone ?
I've added few new features to my app. It's free and add free.
Please leave some feedback.

Anyone realized how to solve this? I need this message not to show because i'm using cerberus app and if my phone it's stolen and i need to remote control it i don't want the thief to be asked if he agree the message

Location services using wifi/mobile networks.

Hi I'm havin a problem with the location services when using mobile networks. Sometimes, google maps can't give me my location and it will show, location is temporarily unavailable. Any ideas why? Gps works fine but it only works when there's a clear view of the sky. My iPhone can show my location all the time whenever I request it like Facebook check in etc.

Ok now maps is working fine with mobile networks but the only problem left is applications like Facebook/weather using mobile networks to attain the location. Any ideas?
Bump... Anyone facing this issue too?
the location/gps in this phone is pathetic.. i try to "locate" in weather app and it's using data/cellular to show location and it's wrong, it looks like it's using the cell tower as my position.. i don't understand why this phone needs data to locate a position.. isn't that what GPS is for?
even my old windows touch pro 2 found location without using internet data and it was very accurate.
Okay guys, silly old me. Dont disable background data for google services if you want it to work!

Same problem with me: Missing Mobile data toggle Galaxy S6 Edge
It was there y'day but today the data toggle and mobile hot spot are both missing on the notification bar.
A lot of users are facing the same issue since today morning.
Is there a FIX ?

Oh I just notice hot spot toggle missing as well. Good to know I'm not alone. Hope to see some solution soon.
yep on carhd custom rom and mine disappeared overnight too?? bizarre?
any fix available please?
thanks
I thought I was the only one
I was about to create a thread about this, especially on my devices it's not only the Mobile Data and Mobile Hotspot missing, but quite a few and it's really annoying, I was thinking that maybe after gaining root and changing the build prop settings for better multitasking caused this or maybe the mod I applied that removed the S-finder and Quick Connect buttons, did any of you guys make this modifications, check my attached screenshothot to see how worse mine is I was even thinking of going back to stock
Also I had a backup on Flashfire and when I restored it, everything was back to normal buy after some few minutes the issue is back again
Holy **** I thought I was going nuts !
Same problem here in Switzerland, Int. version. No update, nothing but during this night the toggle disapeared. I have no idea what's going on.
Same In France
grooted s6 edge not rooted
This is how it was before
I just restored the flashfire backup to see how it was before, check this
So you not rooted and facing the same issue?? If yes then it means that my assumptions we're wrong that it's probably because of the modifications I explained on my first post above

Not rooted, same issue sadly
ive got new button in place...Network restriction? but it cuts out everything data wise..like airplane mode- but you cannot put wifi on afterwards??
mines rooted but not changed anythting at all since rom install. its just removed by itself
Didn't have the time to look much into it but without any software update could it be related to Google Play Service ? I mean, I don't see how they could remotly remove it from us ?
Fix
Same thing here, no data toggle.
I fixed it through sqlite editor. I added MobileData and changed the number of active toggles.
Updated OP to mention I did not root
Wow. Seem like a lot of people having this issue. Interesting. All occur at once. How does this happen.
Should we wait or do a Factory Reset ?
This is a common issue since today. Something happened 6-7 hrs back causing this issue.
The big question is "what's the fix" ?
Since mine is an unlocked non-carrier International version, I am sure this is not a T-Mobile or Verizon issue.
Is there a way to contact someone in Samsung about this problem ?
Will a FACTORY RESET solve the issue ?
Any ideas ?
Has anyone tried a factory reset yet, I'm facing the same problem, some of my toggles are just gone. Not rooted, factory unlocked, so I have no idea what's going on.

[Q] 50% battery drain overnight

Hello.
I usually don't post here because I get my problem solved by myself. But for this one I have no idea what could cause the drain to be that big? The only thing I suspect is that Quick Search (Google bar) from the Nova Launcher? Could I be right? I've attached the dumpfile here plus the pictures of BBS for the first run.
View attachment 3405362
After I've tested another night with the persistent search bar from Nova launcher diabled, I still get the same drain with the same process. I'm puzzled right now. I haven't updated picture this time becasue they looked almost the same as the 1st time. Here's the dump file tho

My S6E is rooted with ping pong. I'd really appreciate the help of anyone willing to help me because I have no idea where or what to look for. Thanks.

In your list of alarms, you will see the major players in battery drain.
The big ones here are facebook & messenger. Greenify those two and it will fix your problems.
Source: i've 6% battery drain overnight.
Could it be related to the fact that I have received notifications on them? And 50% battery drain because of that? I wouldn't believe my eye. Is it normal? Never greenified apps in my life and didn't have that problem
Edit : what about the quicksearch?

My S6 edge is quickly becoming unusable... I'm losing 20% - 30% per hour when not charging and the biggest offender is cell standby, not screen on. I've contacted T-Mobile for a replacement. It will also heat up to the point that it throttles the CPU resulting in lags of 3+ seconds from screen taps.

Hey Jason,
That cell phone stand by is a issue that had already been resolved by removing the 'calling over wifi' or 'Enhanced 4G LTE '. If on ATT go to "Settings > Connections(TAB) > Mobile Networks > Mobile Data > Enhanced 4G LTE Services (uncheck it). If on another carrier go to the Dialer tap MORE up top and Settings. That should take care of battery and crappy signal.

Check out some of your wifi settings under advanced . Uncheck 'Network notification', 'Passpoint', 'Always allow scanning' , and 'Auto connect'. That should be it for wifi settings now if you have already done it let me know . I will dig in to it.
That IS with WiFi calling disabled. And smart network switching disabled.

"searching GPS" all the day...

Hello,
my Honor 7 shows up since some days with the GPS searching icon in the statusbar. After dragging down the information panel it shows that the Google play store is searching for GPS signal... That process will never end...
I was afraid of a high battery consumption ... but it seems that there is no battery consumption at all...
Nevertheless I want to get rif of that issue..
Does this problem has got anybody else ?
Yes but for me it's weather app
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Select which apps use GPS, Mobile or Wifi location services, at the Location settings. For example, Mobile or Wifi is fine for weather.
