Then go to: Tether_entitlement_check_state

Locked AT&T G5 works
Oh my gosh, thanks so much! I have a locked AT&T variant G5 and this works with no issues. This was the only thing I felt my phone was lacking, the ability to tether via hotspot. Now I can. Yay!
Thanks again for the fix!
Is there a good and somewhat easy way to root the h820 that someone might point me towards? I'm not that savvy when it comes to computer stuff, so the more detailed the better in my case... Thanks!

Hi, I have the same issue as the others, Hotspot works but no Internet. I'm in India FYI.
Wonder if there is some other setting that needs to be changed for Internet sharing to work..

I finally figured it out. Using the same Settings Database Editor app, click on Global settings, then "tether_dun_required 1" and a dialog box opens saying you're not allowed to do so, but to enter a command (it was really long, and I can't remember the exact language) into adb shell.
So I downloaded Android SDK and used the adb shell, and entered the command that popped up. I can now change the tether_dun_required state to "0" which enables the internet. The setting will reset each time you reboot, but you can change the tether dun state at will through the Settings Database Editor.
(You can also use adb shell to directly change tether dun required setting, but for me it reset to 1 each time after reboot, requiring using adb shell each time.)

Quick update
Quick update, I had to FDR my phone due to malware and when I redownloaded settings database editor, the "Tether_entitlement_check_state" was missing from the list of settings. I couldn't redo my hotspot option. So I just copy pasted "Tether_entitlement_check_state" (minus the quotations) where it said " add setting" and the set a value of "0". It changed the setting to "5" but I just reset it to "0" and all is well, hotspot re-activated. Thanks again for everyone's help in this thread, as I wouldn't have even known about this type of option. Now who's got root for H820?

It does not automatically create a start menu icon. Go into the Windows folder on your device and find the file in the root directory. Click and hold and make a shortcut in the start menu. From there, simply start the device and enter a WEP key of your choice. Your laptop should find it as a wireless network.
From WMpoweruser.com
The cab does not create a shortcut, but the app can be found under \windows\CMInternetsharing.exe. Once a shortcut is created under \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, the worst part is over.
Now one simply need to start the app, set a WIFI WEP key, click start and connect from your computer. No further setup seems necessary at all

Hey Folks, I am an owner of a new HTC Evo View 4g hoping to find answers to the following questions...
Is there a way to bypass the Sprint Hands Free Activation when you power up Evo View 4g?
Is there a way to cancel the constant sync of nothing? When it is powered on an connected to wifi the "sync" icon shows up, but when I go to Settings>Accounts & Sync, there is nothing checked. So I click on "Cancel Sync" and it stops.
I have S-off, root and CWM recovery, with HBoot 1.13.
Any help would be appreciated.
I would like to know how to disable the hands free activation as well, it is super annoying. My View is bone stock, unrooted.
Bump!
Anyone have any ideas?
Install No Lock - click on No Lock to switch on Locking Disabled - when you next boot up No Lock blows away the Sprint Logo and Activation screen - at least that worked for me
I think you can get rid of the nagging prompt if you can somehow obtain the MSL/SPC code.
If I am thinking this correctly, after you obtain the MSL/SPC code, you need to go into EPST mode (read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146127) then change the phone number to something else...
The hard part is getting the MSL/SPC.
OR you can just sign up for a service, have it activated, then just turn the radio off and cancel the service within 3 days for a full refund.
Done.
No Lock works for me too!
Thanks matthew2582. The No Lock app trick works for me too. For the benefit of others who wan't to try it, i noticed the following caveats: The tablet must be in Airplane mode (yes, wifi still works in airplane mode) and you must turn the tablet off rather than use the restart option.
Love this forum. I looked for solutions on this issue for hours unsuccessfully (well, I found options that involved rooting the tablet, but didn't want to go that route) before finding this.
Does anyone have a link to NO LOCK? I have purchased these as gifts so I want to give them the information on how to remove the activation menu if required.
Also, can this be done from STOCK without ROOTING?
No Lock is free of charge and in the Market here -- https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
And you don't need to do anything in terms of changing any wifi or airplane settings -- just install the app, enable No Lock and you are all set

And I forgot to mention -- no rooting required -- just stock app for stock tablet
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using Tapatalk
Matthew...good news. Thank you! One last question, if you uninstall No Lock, will the Sprint items stay gone?
Nothing is being changed or removed in any way -- No Lock just turns off screen locking and has the coincidental effect of zipping past the Sprint boot screen and their activation screen
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA using Tapatalk
I installed No Lock and still get the sprint boot screen and activation, any tips or tricks I'm missing?
I wonder if there is an app in titanium backup you can freeze to get rid of this...

Hrmph, not finding any place that has a phone number to change here.
Has anyone contacted sprint or htc to see if there is anything that can be done to remove the activation? I'm sure there has to be someway to disable it. I mean I'm sure not everyone that's buying them is using them on the sprint network. Maybe if you call HTC they can help out.
Also an easy way to get the MSL is in terminal emulator just type "getprop ril.MSL" (no root required) I'm not sure if it works on the view but I know it works on sprint phones.
Has anyone tried this?

Want to get ussd codes to work with archos g9 and 3g modem from archos, but apps complain that there is no sim card or 3g modem.
It is for example aAlditalk app which is important for me to work. Is there a hack to make think it has telephony unit or 3g modem or ussd function (which i really have) ?

I'm guessing it's an application issue then... probably the only thing that can be done is to wait for an update of the app...
It may be system related issue, it's not a 'phone' build. I've noticed in a logcat posted somewhere here that android.provider.telephony is redirected to android.provider l.settings

Hi,
i just purchased the 3G stick for my Archos 80.
Any news on this issue?
I know that standard telephony function would never work, because it is a data modem only.
It would be very nice though to hack some parts to get USSD working.
EDIT: Did some research here... guess what... USSD is supported by the Archos 3G stick.
Unfortunately there's nothing out of the box for sending USSD commands to the stick and receiving them in a nice pop-up message.
Anyway, i'll have a look into the RIL API and stuff, maybe it is possible to write a small app to manage this.
Concerning the App mentioned above, i guess there's no easy way to get it working, because there's no complete telephony support.
If someone would like more info on that... ask
Maybe some prop file or similar could be tweaked.
EDIT: The board's default prop has an entry ro.board.has_gsm which is actually set to no.
I wonder if it would change something (at least for some apps).
Any information would be useful.
EDIT: Did anyone try USSD Dialer from the market?
EDIT2: Tried it myself... it does not work and don't like it... it's build for smartphones only.
Cheers,

Hello fellow Note8 and Tasker users. I'm huge fan of both and usually have lots of questions on how to accomplish things in Tasker. Some of those things are device specific, so I thought a thread here may be handy.
Let me start with this: does anyone know how to use Tasker to activate PowerSave mode? I'm a teacher and I'd love to have this active when I'm teaching (then turn that off during my lunch break/plan period). Is there a certain intent I'd have to send? Or is it simpler?
Also, without root, I cannot turn on/off mobile data or adjust GPS settings...
Any workaround that you guys know of?
Here you go: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/4zsi0e/project_share_toggle_settings_eg_location_mobile/
In case Tasker can't help you, I am doing everything you have mentioned using Bixby Voice. Just set up the Quick Actions and assign a voice prompt to it.

That's actually really cool and I didn't know it could do that. The beauty of Tasker however is that it's automated. I don't even have to think about it. I step into work and my phone is on Powersave mode with no mobile data connection or Wi-Fi (while I teach). I get in my car and my GPS is in high accuracy mode. I go in the library and my phone is on silent. I go to a house I'm tutoring in and my calculator app is already pulled up. It's a thing of beauty!
Okay so it turns out the method linked earlier is already "prepackaged" so to speak: it's included in Auto Tools! I already had that app and didn't even know it could do this. So you still need to use ADB to grant it the proper permissions but it will save you the effort of getting the app factory and importing the xml file and exporting the app.
I'm excited to see if I can toggle mobile data this way! It seems to be hit or miss for different devices. Anyone tried on their Note 8?

I have been reading over this for a while. I was wondering if this would allow for toggling on and off wifi hotspot? I've been trying, but I read something regarding Nougat and how the name/service or something was changed.
I have no problem toggling it off and on using the quick tiles, but I have an Android car unit that I use my Hotspot for.
This worked on my older phones, being able to stick an NFC tag to my phone mount in the car to toggle the Hotspot on when placed in it. Or having the Hotspot start/stop when connecting or disconnecting from the unit's Bluetooth.
Thank you for any help in advance.
@wigglitz I'm not sure how to toggle Hotspot, at least didn't find anything related on System-, Global or Secure Settings.
If you are using Toggle Setting method linked before, here is how you can find what you can change:
These commands will show you list of available settings with current values
Code:
adb shell settings list secure
adb shell settings list global
adb shell settings list system
Now, if you are unsure if some setting is what you think it to be, I'll give you an example how to check it.
Let say by using command adb shell settings list secure you find setting install_non_market_apps
Now if you are unsure if that is the one toggling Unknows sources on/off, do this:
Toggle Unknows sources off from settings, then type:
Code:
adb shell settings get secure install_non_market_apps
This will return 0 (because you set if off)
Toggle it back on from settings and run same command, now it will return 1
Now you can be pretty sure that's the one and will be able to make task to automatically allow installing apps from unknown sources when opening Substratum (for example)

Look into Auto Tools (Tasker plugin). That's what I'm using instead. There's definitely an option to toggle hotspot. There's literally hundreds of settings to tinker with, but my understanding is that the success of the individual options depends on the phone model.
I'm testing to see if I can toggle mobile data on the Note 8 and if time, I can test wifi hotspot too. :good:
GOOD NEWS!!!
Mobile data CAN be enabled/disabled without root on the Snapdragon model!!
Use the app Auto Tools with Tasker, give the appropriate permissions with ADB, and it works beautifully!! I'm so happy. ???
GPS works too - I can change it from battery saver to high accuracy and back at will.
I used to disable Mobile data, but now I leave it ON all the time. When you connect to wifi it's not in use so why to even bother turning it off? When I'am not on Wifi it's on. What I'am thinking of doing to save more battery is switch to 2G when connected to wifi, my 3GB/4GB signal strength is not so good. Should save a lot of battery when at home.

I am a teacher. The wifi signal in my building isn't great plus I don't need it anyway when I teach. I turn off pretty much everything during the times I teach. I have Tasker turn Wi-Fi back on for my lunch/plan period and turn off powersave mode. I used to lose 30%+ a day at work while not even touching my phone (awful signal primarily). I'm hoping this helps me keep it to 10% or less lost. I'll report back!

Turning wifi is a must if you leave it on it will always scan for new wifi and drain battery. I use signal towers to turn it on when at home and off when not, works rly good and no battery drain.

Hi,
I have rooted android 4.2 tablet.
I would like to destroy my wifi.
If I will remove MAC adress (if it possible??) will it make the job? I thought that would be possible through software code. or remove some systems folder.
also, if there is an option to remove the wifi icon from status bar and also from setting menu that would be great. I will turn it off then remove those symbols.
I need help with those things. if you have other better ideas I'll be happy to hear.
Thank you.

This by far is the strangest post I have ever encountered in all my time on xda, anyway, I don't think it's possible, atleast with simple ways, for removal of options from quick tiles and settings you will need to mod the settings and systemui which will make it impossible to access wifi on/off option which in turn will remove wifi in a sense. But doing it takes some advanced knowledge on the workings and manipulation of Android system files.

I don't think any app will help you turn wifi off if someone intentionally wants to use wifi on the device, a firewall can only stop apps from accessing the internet. But maybe you can try a method that I am not 100% sure about but it worked for some people, go to build.prop the find the lines;
wifi.interface=
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=
And delete them, or if those lines aren't present then go to system>etc>wifi, find the files which are named "bcmdhd_" and delete them and reboot, but I definitely recommend taking a backup with a custom recovery before doing either of the two because these edits might cause adverse side effects or might bootloop your device, so use caution. Hope it helps.

And delete them, or if those lines aren't present then go to system>etc>wifi, find the files which are named "bcmdhd_" and delete them and reboot, but I definitely recommend taking a backup with a custom recovery before doing either of the two because these edits might cause adverse side effects or might bootloop your device, so use caution. Hope it helps.

Thank you.!!
I found that line: "wifi.interface=wlan0" but didn't found "wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=".
Anyway I deleted that line. At first WI-FI woreked well but after reboot it stoped.
Now it show "WIFI" symbol and I can enter to wifi interface but he can't find any of the lans available. and the lans I used to connect it say "out of range" even I near the router. That enough for me and that is what I wanted.!!
Thank you!
