is there a widget that you guys tried working that allows you quickly toggle on//off the wifi hotspot? (without widget, I'd have to go to setting->mobile hotspot->enable, at least four clicks) I tried switchpro widget, most of the toggles coming with it work, only exception is this wifi hotspot option, I click the toggle , nothing happens...is this a bug from gingerblur?
I have the same problem here.
Someone?

Those of you who miss not being able to tap the the task bar in 2.2 (like you could in 1.6) can install an awesome app that lets you open most important quick settings from the task bar by sliding the task bar down. The app is free, its called Quick Setting (by Sergey Shafarenka). Just slide the top task bar and you will see the option for quick settings, then tap it and you will find: ringer, volume control, bluetooth, wi-fi, gps, mobile data. battery meter, and brightness.
If you prefer separate icons, you can try Status Bar Switch by friedflow for wi-fi and bluetooth - both free. I found them first but now that I learned about the Quick Setting App - I may just use it for everything.
Anyway, try it and let me know what you think.
i just tried it, and it looks really cool, specially together with his other app the battery widget which is cooler than the battery widget i had.
Only one thing missing, the option to be able to turn on airplane mode keeping wifi on
+1 for Quick Settings. Ive been using this app since my X10. One of the first apps I installed on my Streak, and couldn't live without it.
Up! +1
I've been using this excellent little app for 3 weeks already. It even give the shortcut for LED flashlight (given you configure it properly) so no need other 3rd party app for flashlight which may or may not work on our streak.
You can even customize what kind of settings you wanted to show, including GPS, mobile data, autosync data, wifi hotspot, airplane mode, auto rotation (yay!).
Edit: i show this to my friend and now his satisfy with it in his desirez
Great Find
Must have app!!!
Thx
Coupled with Visual Task Switcher (for mutli-tasking switch), my streak is finally user friendly
Is it possible that when you activate data from Notification power widget (the one under status bar) to make him auto activate 3g as well? and when you deactivate it, to change to 2g? Like the one in the power control widget?
Im using Mik'os 6.5.7 rom.

There is a separate toggle for 2G/3G in the notification bar option in CM settings. Add that to the notification bar. But you've to use the Data toggle to enable data, though.
Hi. Recent, happy convert to CM7.1 on my Nexus One.
Question, though. I use Widgetsoid, and now that I'm root, I'm using the root data toggle method. This works, but the widget provides no feedback about what state you're in. So when I click it, I need to wait several seconds until the notification bar icon appears (or disappears) to find out if the click took. Also, If I have WIFI up, the cell data notification icon goes away, so I don't know whether cell data is also enabled. Since I routinely turn off data to preserve the battery when I'm not using it, this is a frequent issue.
So. Is there a way to get Widgetsoid to light up the data toggle widget when data is enabled? Doesn't seem to be - which is funny, because I used to use the old 2g/3g toggle, which did light up to indicate whether data was enabled, even though the widget itself was only a shortcut to the data settings.
Or... is there another widget that works the way I want?
Anyone know why the HTC WiFi switch is not just turning on and off the wifi, instead its bringing you to the wifi settings?

Not sure.. I use Power control App .. which also allows you to add a row of toggles to your notification pull down. It has a native flashlight toggle as well which is handy.

Are you talking about the "Power Control" HTC widget? That's what I use to avoid this PITA with wifi. If that's what you use too, then where did you find flashlight and the ability to add toggles to notification area?

No, it's an app in the play store: Power Control Plus
Hi,
as soon as I'm running any program like google maps, waze or other SW using the GPS I get an "icon" in the status-bar telling me the obvious (that positioning is on). The Mate 20 PRO's large screen Notch does not make room for taking up space with that kind of unnecessary "information".
I tried to turn this status indicator off but failed miserably.
Is there any way this can be done?
System UI Tuner is probably the easiest option - I have it hiding the Bluetooth, NFC, and alarm icons, but it can do GPS as well.
If you can't use ADB you can use this method to hide a few of the icons, but GPS isn't one of them. Nova launcher can also create the shortcut for you.
I'm running Nova, which shortcut is it I can create with it?

Thanks, have installed it now. Strangely enough I do not seem to be able to get it hiding my bluetooth icon.

Thanks, the other symbols dissapeared immediately but as you said, BT needed a complete restart.
