Hi!
I'm looking for an app which directly activate or desactivate the wifi without going on the wifi settings screen, just a toggle.
I know there are plenty of them, but all of them just bring to the wifi settings screen.
i would like an app which acts exactly like "Stop the Music!" (as I'm a new member, i can't post the link to the marketplace..) when pinned to startscreen: it just stop music without showing any screen of the app (actually, very quickly..)
Do you think it's possible or WP doesn't allow it?
Thanks
I use "Connectivity Shortcuts" from App store. Works great. I have 2 tiles one for WiFi and one for Cellular data
Thanks for replying, but this app is acting exactly like the others, it just brings you to the wifi settings screen.
But when u read the description of your app, it is written that, at this time, it is not possible to put a direct toggle on startscreen..
Update News from the app developer said:

Q: Why dont you put toggles right on the startscreen?
A: I would love to do so but currently this is not possible.

Someone could me confirm that?
I'm afraid it's not possible at all at the moment. It's a matter of APIs I guess. Hopefully this will change with WP8...

Hi folks,
Want to hide you Honeycomb system bar easily ?
I found that app in the Xoom forum. It's and old post but lots of updates have surfaced since and it works great on my GT10.1 (Overcome 2.1). It should work on all rooted tablet.
What I like :
- Always visible shortcut in the bar
- Display it back by tapping/swipping from the bottom of the screen (no screen turn off with pin code stuff)
It's exactly what I had been dreaming of, so I thought it might worth sharing : http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/. The APK is free to download. You can find it on that page
Please give credit to the developer if you like it!
Installed it and works great. Pretty easy to use.
Mine is rooted, but it doesn't really work.
Maybe I got it wrong, but you mean the bar in the bottom of the screen right?
I'm annoyed when I'm watching movies, and the bar in the bottom are faded out, but still there so the movie is not maximized.
It works just fine for me. I have to practice the uce. But I getvused to it.. we will se..
Nice tips.

Yep lovely. Great idea
Tried this app a few weeks ago but it didn't work - nice to see they fixed it .
But it brings one problem with it (well, more of an annoyance really). I keep my mobile connection disabled most of the time (I don't have an unlimited data plan) and when I reboot the tab, it shows a "You are not connected to mobile networks, so you can't ..." with the options "Connect" and "Cancel". Usually this wasn't a problem (it just appeared once after all, once you clicked "Cancel" it was done till next reboot) but it seems that when I "unhide" the bar, it checks for my mobile connection again and shows the annoying popup. I know I only have to click on the "Cancel" button and get on with my life but it's really annoying me
Anyone else has that problem? Or better yet, know how to fix it?
thank u so much man, this app is helping me a lot.
I remember trying it a couple months ago, but it didn't work with the gt. Sent the dev some feedback to let him know and he said he was working on it. Guess he did.

Hi..
I think you are one of few with out a dataplan. ;-) So now as soon as you hide the bar that message appears? Thats anoying. How do you disable data on your pad, under settings?
Have you tried the other statusbar hiders.. there is two other apps for that.

Aye, I'm mostly on Wi-fi anyway . And the cellular data where I live really isn't fast enough yet that you could be working comfortably on it (I don't live in the city) - so I went with the 1GB dataplan (more then enough for mails and other important stuff) - I can go over the 1GB for free, but they cut down the speed back to normal GSM after that 1GB.
Other dataplans were just too pricy (can't really affort 30€ in addition to other expenses right now ).
You can disable data under settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks. The message doesn't appear when I hide the bar, but when I swipe to get the bar back - but you're right, it's still annoying (I'm getting used to it though ^^).
Thanks for sharing! Really nice option to have when reading books, comics or painting.
Thanks here as well.
Working good so far on Bonsai ROM. I had supported another developer who was working on something similar but he never got it off the ground. Nice to see someone worked out this 'should have been in the default' feature.
nice .thx for sharing.

So...this app doesn't unhide my status bar. It's getting root, does anyone have any suggestions on getting this to work?
Edit: bah, I just got it to randomly work but I couldn't do it again, back to honeybar. I like the idea though!

Unhidding it is not as instant as it usually is in Windows when you auto-hide the system bar for instance (no nasty comments please... )
To unhide the systembar with this app, you have to tap/swipe the bottom of the screen a couple times (everywhere seems to work), and wait 2 or 3 seconds before it comes back. Hope this explanation helps... Let me know.
Btw, apps fan, don't miss the great Google sale going on in the Android Market! 10 cents for great apps, this is huge! I am not a big app buyer but this time I think I'll spend a bit...
It doesn't work for p7510 running Gtask V7.0
It doesn't ask for root, it crashes ("not responding") but it shows an icon .. it just doesn't do its job.

Correction, it does work. It just "hiding" Superuser root request for some reason (noticed it in superuser logs). So I "clicked" the hidebar icon when the superuser app was in front - and I saw the request.
G'luck.
Love this app, works great with overcome. Way better than the power menu hidebar mod!
Updated version 0.10 is out. Links in OP.

I just started seeing the new application permissions thing on my HTC Thunderbolt and thought it might be interesting to see when apps were accessing data. It was interesting... for the first dozen or so times. Now I'm getting toast notifications (especially from Locale) about it's various activities all the time, and I am no longer finding it remotely interesting.
Is there any way to get back to the settings and turn the toggle back off?
Please?
Anyone?
What ROM are you using, and how did you enable the option? Some screenshots of the notifications and settings would help as well.
Running eternity-tb-runnymede-r238 (Infectedrom), will try to screen cap the next time one of these prompts appears. The screen only seems to show up since Android Market "upgraded" to Google Play, and only when an app changes data permissions.
Took me a while to get back to this, but...
Here's a screen cap of the settings screen I'm talking about. Only seems to show up after initial install/update to privacy settings and I have no idea how to get back to it.
Um, apparently I haven't posted enough to post links, so make this into a URL --

I think you are referring to an app that is doing that. It's called P Droid i think. Maybe if you just cleared it's data you could reset it. Just a thought I'm not sure there may be an easier way.

Hmm.
No, don't think I have that installed, unless it's baked into the ROM.
Hello all,
Its getting very annoying: everytime I pinch out on the homescreen to get to the homescreen selection section, a voice is saying some stuff I cant even understand, even in silent mode. Its getting me sick!
How can I disable it? Looked for it everywhere! Someone has a clue?
Thanks in advance.
Am I the only one with this problem? No one else?
I dont have any sounds when pinching on the homescreen.

Me either as far as I know your not meant to get any either?
Have you added an app as an accessibility service? Maybe Lightflow or Tasker? You can either remove those apps as accessibility services or you could use another launcher. This is a known bug which doesn't really have a perfect solution yet.

I had the same issue yesterday and i solved it
At first i thought it was driving mode(since that reads out things while you drive) then i checked accessibility settings and i disabled talk back(i think).....but that still didnt work.
Found out its lightflow....Has something to do with the app.I think you can disable it but i just removed the app completely and the voices stop
I'm still waiting for my s3 so can't check whether that does the trick or not but the developer of Missed It! said to check that both Talkback and Install Web Script (both in Accessibility settings) are set to off
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
I've had this problem too and I don't have Lightflow installed. For me, the solution was to go to Settings, Accessibility and under Services turn off 'Addons Detector' which I had installed.
So, perhaps it's anything installed in the Services section causes the problem. A bug perhaps?
First off, how can I get rid of the little blue tab on the side with the icon shortcuts. I never use any of them. It would be great to be able to add my own app shortcuts to it but I could not figure out how. I am guessing that these are limited to only ones that are able to do the split screen feature.
Another question is, is there a program that can allow you to use your mouse and keyboard from your PC to control the phone, in a way that I have my phone next to the computer monitor, drag my mouse across over to the side, and the cursor appears on the android screen? Similar to Synergy (PC program)?
Is there a way to keep track of how much data you use over the 4g network? I don't want to go over my 2gigs a month.
I saw on a website that had "top 50 features of the Note2" that it has a feature where you can make the camera track your eyes, so that when you lay in bed, the screen does not rotate. Anyone know about this?
Also, I am pretty new to Android as this is my first smart phone ever. Is there a way to make google reader show pictures from blog artices, instead of having one app for slickdeals (iSlick) or another app for reading lifehacker articles? (Lifehacker unofficial)? I think I would use google reader if it showed pictures.
Has anyone started using Utter!? Seems like a great idea but I did not get very far with exploring it.
Sorry this is a big mess of random questions. Thank you for any input.
PS ~ I tried searching the android forum for how to control with pc mouse and keyboard but was unable to find something. I found AirDroid but i don't think that is what I am looking for.

Press and hold back until it goes away. Press and hold back again to bring it back.

Don't think this is possible the way you describe. They do offer a dock that allows you to plug in a USB keyboard/mouse to control the phone, but you can't have one mouse control both without unplugging it from one and plugging it in to the other.

You can't track JUST 4G usage, but you can track mobile data usage. Go in to Settings and then Data usage. You can even set an alert to warn you when you get close, and a limit that will disable mobile data after so much usage.

This is also in Settings, though under Display. What you're looking for is Smart Rotation. Smart Stay is also there and that keeps the screen on while you look at it.

Google Currents allows you to do news/feed reading. Not sure how it works, but it's listed as an option. Get it in the Play Store.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
I saw a video on YouTube where the guy uses the computer keyboard on his note 2 but without a mouse. It is the guy who makes those daily note 2 videos.

If you download the update from the computer using the Verizon update help app you will get the WiFi toggle if you used kies to download the update you won't have WiFi its that simple their two different updates or u can just wait like me who just got a notification right now at 3:20 about the update ota and its its only 15mins not an hour and 30mins like you all over the PC

I used Kies to do my update and ended up with no WiFi toggle.
My son took the update OTA and ... ended up with no WiFi toggle.
My phone would hang on the Verizon splash screen when trying to reboot. Tech support had me clear the cache but that would only work for that boot - it would still hang if I tried to boot without clearing the cache.
I decided to do a reset and now everything runs much better, boots fast like it did originally, and I now have the WiFi toggle.
Son is putting off the inevitable reset but the writing is on the wall, he's going to have to do it.
My take from the forums I've read is that you have to do a reset if you don't get the WiFi toggle after taking the update (regardless of the update method: OTA, Kies, Verizon updater).
If the wifi toggle does not show up after the update, do a reset. It will be there after you do!
What is the significance of the toggle that would justify the time of starting from scratch? The function is available with an app to toggle. I use Quick Settings since can not bother putting 260 apps back on the device and setting all my apps up again. Bleh to that.

I agree.. though...
I reset my device and the wifi toggle is there.
I fell like this is just another example of Verizon's "Overlord" mentality. Now I have a wifi toggle and right below the toggle I have an ongoing notification that sits there and tells me what my wifi status is. What? No option to remove it the unneeded redundancy? I am looking forward to rooting this device, if merely to get rid of the "Overlord"-ness forced onto this device.
Thanks for the toggle veriZon......
Thanks for confirming... I thought there was an error with my reset when I saw this redundant silliness. But no... just Verizon being Verizon, "Oh, so you all want the WiFi toggle? Then here you go!"

Any update on missing toggle after update?
So now I'm on MI1 and still I have no Wifi Toggle. I was wondering if anyone has found a work-around to get the toggle to appear other than a factory reset. Even if I root and backup all apps w/TiBU, it seems like too much effort to just get the toggle. Any advice?
If you root you can use an sqlite editor app and add the wifi toggle. I did this and it was quite simple, here's a link to a thread explaining how.

There is a thread on another forum with pictures and a video walk through but I'll let you google "wifi toggle s4" and find it since I doubt some people would like links to other forums here.
Not a problem. Thanks. Sad we need to resort to this given It's supposed to be there.

For some reason I had to add the "semi colon" before and after WiFiHotspot to make it show up as a toggle.
;WiFiHotspot;
So it doesn't work for you as described above quoted above try adding the semi-colon ; before and after they should fix it

Yeah, I'm definitely sure it's not in there. I have 17 toggles and I've seen screen shots from other S4 variations that had 20 or so toggles. It's definitely still missing.

I used this method and it worked great! it was simple (but read the thread for a few pages to get all the info to make it simple) and fun. Softwared will have glitches, it's just the way it goes, but it's nice to be able to fix some things on your own.
