On the Nook in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888216
user xboxexpert managed to unload the phone tools on the nook and stop the nook from searching for a cell network. Since a few of us are off contract, I'd love to be able to do the same on my Tab. So I tried the same, renaming the files. It didn't work. The Tab ended up in an infinite loop of trying to restart the phone when phone.apk no longer existed. I didn't dare try restarting after renaming it when it was all I could do to get the Tab stable again without infinite app crashes slowing it down.
I like to use a bluetooth keyboard at work and airplane mode disables bluetooth, so no deal there. So does anyone have an idea on how we can disable the wireless network without being in Airplane mode?
I have the same question.... I want to use my tab Wifi only... anyone find a solution?
You can switch WiFi ob when in airplane mode.
Regards,
Dave
is there a permanent solution for it?
You can go into Phone Info via *#*#4636#*#* (or create an Anycut shortcut to Phone Info, under Activites) and switch the radio off there at the bottom of the page.

And bluetooth?
I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mean, but you didn't even read the entire post.

I suppose if I really want to do this then I need to get the dialer working? It seems kind of roundabout, I'm trying to disable the mobile network and phone options, but in order to do that I need to make it more like a phone first? I say that because I tried Anycut and under Activities there was no "Phone Info" activity. Thanks for the thought Hairy.
This is on a stock rooted T-mobile Tab, that I'm not planning to flash just yet. Maybe when Cyanogen is in a later beta. I'm just not that deep into hacking my devices, and while I appreciate people that do I just have other priorities.

Must be a ROM issue as I'm on JM6 and the Phone Info option is there on Anycut. I went through this myself for the same reasons, so good luck

i am also in perma-airplane at home and just having wifi or bluetooth enabled.
works perfectly

Rather presumptuous of you to assume that? You can use Bluetooth too (at least on the ROMs I've used)

Yeah, just tried again, and *#*#4636#*#* is the right combo. Can you change the radio band? Mine always getting "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped.".

Take a peek there.
There's a pretty handy app on the play store that makes a shortcut just to this. It's called Network. Author is Philipp Mangelow. Cannot post a link yet due to low post count.
thats work but after restart u need to do same thing again ?!! anyway to make this option is default?

It should be that as default, mine is. I force LTE via the testing menu myself.
This is a bit of a workaround but it'll get it done.
If you add telephone.lteOnGsmDevice=1 to your build.prop, it'll enable "Preferred network mode" in mobile network settings. You'll be able to select LTE/WCDMA. Hopefully this will keep you off GSM.
Perhaps there's another flag that'd enable the menu offering WCDMA only.
preference not saving
I have both 2G and 3G network available but i want my phone to connect to a 3G network only ... i would like to set this to "WCDMA only" but after every reboot its switching back to "WCDMA Preferred".
Is there a way we can save this preference ?
does this work in android 4.3 ?
because i can't get it to show the setting. galaxy s4, GE ROM 4.3
edit: got it to work with TelInfo app.

Hi,
My Use for all screens stopped working. Anyone experience this or know how to fix it? It's checked in the One-handed operation option.
Thanks.

I haven't been able to get mine to work period. I have disabled and enabled the feature multiple time and I just can't get it to work.....
Use it all the time. Might be an issue with a specific version of the phone or if you have modified it somehow.

I tried when my phone was completely stock. Prior to even changing out the launcher. Humph.... I may have to go talk to verizon.

I have the T-Mobile version and it worked in the beginning, but now I can't get it to work
A shame since I was just getting used to it and how to gesture it on and off.
This seems to be a Samsung issue rather than a carrier fault.
(mine is unlocked and in use on AT&T)
Would it be advisable to contact Samsung directly?
Go to Settings>Device>Accessibility, and check under "Services". Having apps turned on there can break the one-handed function.
I have NiLS for lockscreen notifications, but it seems to run fine even when the service permission is turned off.

Bingo! Thank You barnabydog!
The good news: It worked! I turned off the offending app and I'm back in business!
The bad news: The offending app was Pebble (smartwatch)
A feature that is more useful to me than the one handed mode . . .
So then is this the sad state of affairs? I have to choose between my Mini-screen mode and my smart watch?
How did you know about this barnabydog?
is there another thread that discusses this issue?
Yes, but I was too lazy to search for it.

Is there a way to acess Service Mode on this variant of the S5? I tried setting shortcuts, using nova launcher, and a lot of other things but dialer codes are turned off. I can't even dial to check the IMEI which is sad. Is there something I'm missing or is root necessary to enable hidden dialer codes? Reason i need to acess service Mode is to change the Network Band to LTE/GSM so I can use LTE on T-Mobile network. When I go to settings, applications, all, I see the IOTSERVICEMODE and Service Mode app on the system

Don't think it's possible. ....I know in "more networks"-mobile networks-settings you can switch between global/lte&cdma/gsm&umts..... but, I think that's the best u can get. ... which isn't what you want at all
beav3r
I know the S4 had the band's I needed, so the S5 should have it as well. It was a mistake buying the Verizon version, should have bought the T-Mobile version but people these days reporting their phones lost as soon as it's sold, can't really risk it.

You probably need root to do anything but try these dialer codes if you haven't already -
Code:
*#2263#
*#*#2263#*#*
The terminal command below probably needs root to succeed as well. But you might want to give it a try anyway. Install a terminal emulator app from the play store and then try entering:
Code:
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378

I've been looking for it on and off today honestly. Wanted to use it for a tasker profile. But it's no longer a settings activity named smartbonding. Been scouring activities all through relevant system apps to try to find something that I think would be it with no luck.
Honestly I havent tried super hard. More just in off time when I remember it, or notice my booster turned off again. (on tmobile so I have the switch in settings to turn it on and off)
But ill keep you posted if I find it
International unlocked 950f model and i have it here. Just search for it
It's disabled and hidden on this version

Carrier disabled. Not removed from the system though.
Were trying to figure out the new activity name for it.
Before even when it was disabled, you could use Nova launcher activity to find it in settings.
Use to be called . settings$smartbondingserviceactivity
Okay so from what I can tell there is nothing referring to download Booster or smart bonding in any of the activities. I believe it is part of an activity menu of some sort now and no longer called bonding. I've checked in every activity sub group.

You and me both. I have download booster on tmobile. I feel like they changed it from a settings activity and embedded it so people couldn't do this. What I think i might do later today is debug the phone and see what script comes up when I enable it and report back.
Man. I guess this isn't an issue for most with this device. Is Sprint the only carrier that hid this setting?
Bump...I know someone can do this easily
Still no luck. Anyone else find a thing worth trying yet?
