\"android-shell\"<\/a>If you are using an automation app like Tasker, Llama or Automate, you can toggle \/ turn on \/ turn off WIFI, Data, GPS etc. with shell commands. I collected these little sniplets for my own setup. They work on my device (Nexus 5x with Cyanogenmod 13). They should work on other Android 6 devices as well.<\/p>\n

Run all shell commands as root.<\/p>\n

WIFI<\/strong><\/p>\n

svc wifi enable\r\nsvc wifi disable\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
DATA<\/p>\n
svc data enable\r\nsvc data disable\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
GPS<\/p>\n
# turn GPS on\r\nsettings put secure location_providers_allowed +gps \r\n# turn GPS off\r\nsettings put secure location_providers_allowed -gps \r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Flightmode<\/p>\n
# Flightmode on\r\nsettings put global airplane_mode_on 1\r\nam broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE\r\n\r\n# Flightmode off\r\nsettings put global airplane_mode_on 0\r\nam broadcast -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Turn off screen without locking device (emulate power button keypress)<\/p>\n
input keyevent 26\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Toggle Network mode (2G\/3G\/4G)
\nI have been searching for a long time, but there seems to be no direct way to do this.
\nThe best solution I have found requires xposed framework and gravitybox installed.<\/p>\n
I found the available network types here:
\nhttp:\/\/android.stackexchange.com\/questions\/44347\/simple-way-to-toggle-between-2g-and-3g-connection<\/a><\/p>\n
Identify the right settings for your device:<\/p>\n
# Disable your automation app, set networking mode with the preferences in your devices GUI.\r\n# Then run\r\n\r\nsettings get global preferred_network_mode \r\n\r\n# The currently set network mode number will be shown in shell\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
Just send the following intent to toggle network mode:<\/p>\n
Send Intent [\r\nAction: gravitybox.intent.action.CHANGE_NETWORK_TYPE\r\nCat: None\r\nMime Type:\r\nData:\r\nExtra: networkType:1\r\nExtra:\r\nPackage:\r\nClass:\r\nTarget: Broadcast Receiver]\r\n\r\nnetworkType enum values are: \r\n0: WCDMA Preferred \r\n1: GSM only <-- This would be \"2G\" on GSM networks\r\n2: WCDMA only <--WCDMA is \"3G\" on GSM networks. You may know it as HSPA\r\n3: GSM auto (PRL)\r\n4: CDMA auto (PRL)\r\n5: CDMA only <-- This would be \"2G\" on CDMA networks\r\n6: EvDo only <-- EvDo is \"3G\" on CDMA networks\r\n7: GSM\/CDMA auto (PRL)\r\n8: LTE\/CDMA auto (PRL)\r\n9: LTE\/GSM auto (PRL)\r\n10: LTE\/GSM\/CDMA auto (PRL)\r\n11: LTE only\r\n12: \"unknown\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Disable captive portal detection
\nThis needs to be set at boottime. It doesn’t survive a reboot.<\/p>\n
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0\r\nsettings put global captive_portal_server 127.0.0.1\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Force a DNS of your choice
\nGoogle removed the option to change the DNS for mobile data. (ugly, ugly, ugly)
\nYou can force your device to use your fav DNS with iptables for mobile data:<\/p>\n
\/system\/bin\/iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT ! -o wlan0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to-destination 213.73.91.35:53\r\n<\/pre>\n
In case you have found a better way to switch network mode, I’d really appreciate your comment :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
