Turn mobile data on/off in secondary user

AcclaimSublevel19 Thank you, that's already way better. Although I dont understand why you can switch mobile data on and off in thos specific settings but not in the pull down tiles or whatever they are called.

4ch1ll Yeah, me neither. My worst annoyance is the fact that I can't create a hotspot or choose another WiFi network (except what's saved). Let's hope the profiles get a toggle to allow managing network settings.

AcclaimSublevel19 you could try

https://github.com/sdex/ActivityManager/releases

Launch this app from within profile of choice, scroll to entry 'Settings', and search for these;

NetworkDashboardActivity
MobileNetworkListActivity

If they do what you want, then make them into shortcuts to homescreen.

Thank you so much! I did not know this shortcut. In my opinion, this is the single most useful widget ever created.

It might sound a bit complicated but another option could be to set up an always-on VPN with killswitch for each profile. This way if one simply disconnects the profile's VPN to stop mobile data / Wi-Fi usage, the general call and SMS functions will be preserved.
So it seems there are a few solutions to the secondary user mobile data control, but no direct one as in the owner profile.

Novalissoide I just tried, but that doesn't solve my problem. I can already access the NetworkDashboardActivity via the Settings app and the MobileNetworkListActivity does practically the same as the method I mentioned with the difference that the former cannot be accessed without this app.

AcclaimSublevel19 understood. I did this from Private Space, which have no homescreen for shortcuts. But I forgot that second users have it. 😔🫢

Novalissoide Ah makes sense then. I built a custom lawnchair build to get my shortcuts on the homescreen, so that's not a problem for me anymore 😄
