Hi guys
I know there are apps with sole functions, such as screen off. Open the app, the screen goes off.
I wondered if anyone knew of a WiFi Hotspot app that you open the app and wifi Hotspot turns on and an off app that turns it off.
Anyone know of any apps like this? I don't want an app that you interact with just does it.
Basically I'm trying to get automate it to auto switch on or off WiFi Hotspot depending on the trigger,but the official plug in doesn't work with my z3.

Tasker might be able to trigger a hotspot on given conditions. I've not used Tasker myself, so I can't give you instructions, but I know Tasker is very versatile with this sort of thing (root needed, of course).
Thanks, unfortunately though I don't want to root at the moment as it's a new phone with warranty.

Hi All,
I am (and may be many of us) facing the following problem while using Portable WiFi Hotspot.
When you are using your device as a wifi hotspot and if mobile screen goes off (after certain timeout) your connection will end and you will not be able to surf internet on other connected devices. Again, if you wake your screen back, you will be able to connect, access and surf via wifi hotspot.
i.e. one has to keep screen wake in order to keep connected via WiFi hotspot. As soon as screen goes off, the connection drops away.
Can anyone provide the solution of this problem.
I am using MiNiCM7+ nAa11 on X10MP.

well, maybe this is not the best solution, but worth to try, I usually used this:
1. download on market app called No Screen Off
2. run the app
3. now your phone will not turned off it's screen
4. decrease the brightness to lowest
5. activate the wireless tethering/portable hot spot
Does anybody know of any mods or apps that will disable the lock screen security when you connect to home wifi?

You can try "Delayed Lock" by j4velin in the play store. Great app - It will even turn your lock back on after disconnecting from home wifi. Works for blue tooth as well. Trial version just has a nag screen every 5 unlocks. Worth the purchase to support the dev. Also, support available here at XDA.
Currently running [email protected] app with Unlock with wifi app works great for me.... Also if you're willing to learn check out Tasker..
A slight hijack... I want to do the same thing, but slightly different. Does anyone know of an app that unlocks when you are NEAR your home wifi, but not actually connected to it? I live in the sticks & have 12Mbps satellite internet with a 10GB monthly limit. My 4g connection is faster & I'm still on unlimited. I've tried using Tasker, but can't seem to get it to work.

With this:
"Delayed Lock Location Plugin" - in the play store (same developer).
(same lock screen functionality, just location based, not GPS, uses cell towers)

I use an app called "phone locator pro" and it has the option. It works great. I've tested the remote features including locating, camera snapshots, and even remote wiping. All work great. It disables the lock when on any wifi connection that you register with the app. I just wish that you could also add a bluetooth connection so when I am in my car I do not have to unlock it.
Here is with tasker and secure setting example. Tasker never fails me.

I've never used Tasker. Do you think it would be possible to keep the phone unlocked when connected to any bluetooth connection? This would be awesome if you could keep the phone unlocked in your car.

I am a fan of tasker, but I think delay lock is better. It does Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I have never been satisfied with using tasker for this purpose...it "misses" too often.

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

Like the thread says, wondering if anyone has been using Tasker and their Z3V. More specifically, has anyone used a profile to activate/deactivate WiFi tethering using Tasker?
I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus, very hesitant on getting a new phone on VZW as it seems like our selection is limited to rootable/unlockable phones. The Nexus 6 seems to be buggy, and too large. The Z3V seems like a great phone but it being unlockable is making me hesitant on buying it. I obviously would like to remove all the bloatware but it seems like most of you guys here are loving the phone regardless of Root/Unlock.
The main thing I use my phone for is automated WiFi tethering (activating my hotspot) when I get into my car. I just want to make sure this feature will still work on the Z3V without root access using Tasker and/or Secure Settings.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Bought the phone, setup a profile with Tasker and Secure Settings. Works like a charm!!!
I'm using tasker for Auto Off Unpaired Bluetooth and automated Wi-Fi when nearing two saved points (home and work).
I'm still working out the latter, but I still need some help in that. And it seems the auto Bluetooth profile is a bit glitchy and shuts off my Bluetooth overall when I connect both my Smartband and SBH50 headset together. I'd appreciate to get some input as well.
Anyhow, I can pretty much confirm root is not needed for tasker.
Thanks for the response. Do you mind creating a temporary profile to see if it works without root? You can have anything trigger like if connecting to a Bluetooth device, then automatically start WiFi tethering. My main concern is if WiFi tethering works in Tasker without root. If so, I'm buying this phone!!!

A lot of the tasker profiles can be used without root on the phone. It's only a few more advanced and technical profiles that will tell prior to use that it will require root.
Even without tasker, the phone can greatly alone as it is to last you quite about two days of moderate use.

Right, and root access is not required to enable WiFi tethering, however, I am using a custom ROM which has WiFi tethering enabled. I'm just not sure if the Z3V will have WiFi tethering enabled on the stock ROM (in which case it would be "x"ed out in tasker if not available).

From all the reviews, that's what it seems like, there's no other waterproof phones that I want. The Samsung phones all bother me with their "back" button on the WRONG SIDE :laugh:
Thanks for the input, appreciate it!
Just wanted to update everyone, that tasker with secure settings does indeed work to activate mobile hotspot. This phone (bloatware and all) has been great so far. No regrets on the purchase!

I just hope it's not as buggy as people are reporting on the Nexus 6. The phone is great working as is right now LOL
One thing I'm curious is what other people could add to this phone with Tasker? The wifi location sort of thing isn't working 100% well with me, and I look at a lot of other profiles to see that the phone could already d most of it itself.
@ConanOBrien What do you usually use besides your tethering?

The main one is enabling WiFi tethering when I get in my car. Note, that WiFi tethering does not work natively with tasker. It shows enabled but when you actually select it, it will give you an error and turn into a red-X. There are probably other features that show they're enabled but when you click it will show the red-X. In order to get tethering to work, I had to use the Secure Settings plugin.
What's the WiFi location issue you're referring to?
I'm currently only using tasker for tethering for my Z3V. I am going to create one to activate/deactivate WiFi when it detects I'm at home/leaving home.

Yeah that's exactly it right there. Activating and deactivating Wi-Fi when I'm at home or leaving home. It disconnects and not re-enable when I'm at home after deep sleep. I follow the exact profiles/tasks posted online, but it's not successful.

Ahh interesting. I will give it a shot next week and let you know my findings.
Just curious if by rooting a t mobile v10, if we can bypass the hotspot throttling when we pass 7 gigs? Right now after seven gigs it gets throttled to 128kbs. I want to bypass that.

Yea. Unfortunately there isn't a way around it anymore. I'm sure someone will find a way but as of right now there isn't anything you can do.
Hope. There are some of the brightest people on android. So, I have hope. Now apple, well, nothing more to say. Roflmao.

WiFi Tether Router worked for me with the LG G4 settings. When I tether now, my "tether" usage stays put and the mobile data goes up instead. There wasn't a way to copy the APN, though, so I had to make a new one from scratch (with the settings from the WiFi Tether Router help page).
Is the only way to change to ipv4 is by creating a new VPN setting? When I press and/or long hold on ipv6, nothing happens. If it matters, I am rooted.
TIA,

I went ahead and made a new one and made it ipv4. After reboot, my second screen was broke. So I nandroided back and that fixed it.

My data slow leaks to hotspot..maybe 60mb for 2 gb...however if I stream slingbox or the nba app the data goes right from the hotspot...hopefully someone figures that out because I use slingbox all the time on the weekend's.
With this app, I had this issue on my n6 and this device. And with the language barrier, I can't seem to explain my problem to the creator of this program. Basically, it works fine, then all a sudden in the middle of streaming to my tablet, it just stops. And on the tablet, the wifi tether no longer shows up under available wifi. But in the phone, it says wifi tether is active. I refresh on the tablet but wifi tether no longer shows up.

No, you can also access the hidden menu with 277634#*# and just click the "APNUnlock" option.

No way to bypass it as its enforced at the networking level at the towers.
Hey if it's any help my iPhone shows a ac Network connection not a normal wifi connection and the iPhone (jailbroken using tether me app) shows no hotspot use but my v10 does and shows a normal wifi network can't upload a screenshot from my I Pad but I can email if u pm me a email address. Also on my old note 3 it useto burn up all my hotspot data but then continue to work after that so I would be fine with that as well lol however I don't think that will be a option anymore as now the tethering is "unlimited " 128k after 7gb also I always had to have my laptop open with chromebot on for some reason it seamed to work as a work around even thou I wouldn't even be tethering just to the laptop (very weird to me) just thought I would throw out my thoughts for u developers. Who know what u r doing as I have a idea but wouldn't say I know all that much about this
