Shortcut for WiFi hotspot? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to put a shortcut to WiFi hotspot on the home screen or the Quick Settings bar?
The G4 was nice in that it had one in the Quick Settings when you pull down from the notification bar. That was nice, but I cannot find a way to add that to the G5.
Any suggestions?

Not on my phone. I have the Sprint G5, which one do you have?

[Q] 3g/2g toggle

Hi i was wondering if it is possible to add a 2g/3g toggle in the quick settings where other toggles for gps, ringer, rotation toggles are?
I'm used to keeping 3g off until i need to surf the web to preserve battery life.
Thanks
The quick settings in the notification slide down cannot be changed I'm afraid. Use something like Extended Controls to add a widget to your homescreen.

Extended Controls on notification bar

Question for anyone using Extended Controls on the Atrix. I want to be able to place Extended Controls in my notification bar, but to also be able to eliminate having the widget on my Home screen. I find that if I remove the widget, it also no longer shows up when I bring the notification area down and tap on the EC. Anyone know how to do this, or is it necessary to have the widget on the Home screen, in which case, it seems like a waste of time to put it in the Notification Bar.
Thanks.
I'm not sure about EC, but if you use Widgetsoid you can add them to the notification bar and then set the widget that's on the homescreen to invisible, so that it's ONLY in the notification bar...I believe. There's a free widgetsoid, so you could always try that out!

I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Another work around for not having buttons on the notification bar is if you use
swipePad + mySettings
just swipe on the corners to mySettings and change your settings through there. IMO best way.

Sounds like a novel approach. I'll try that too. Thanks!
Widgetsoid blows because..
if you click on a toggle it is not truly a toggle(in notification area) because it launches another toggle window and you cannot toggle directly from notification area

That's true. I guess it depends on the phone. I'm trying the Swipe Pad + My Settings suggestion and finding that I'm liking those apps a lot. The Swipe Pad seems to add a lot of additional functionality. Thanks.

That's true. If EC does it better while still hiding the home screen widget, then by all means use that! Just offering other ideas in case it doesn't.
May not be what you're looking for/more work than you want to do, but CM7 pre beta2 has notification bar controls built in with a bevy of other new features that make day to day use more convenient. I've been using it as my daily driver since pre beta 1 was posted and love it. Minus the few addressed issues that are being worked on now it's the best rom available IMHO.

Change toggles in notification bar...

When I pull the notification tray down I don't have wifi in there. Is there anyway to change them?
Not with a the stock ROM. Verizon added an ongoing notification (which you should see) to turn wifi on instead of a toggle. Beans and CleanROM remove that ongoing notification and allow you to customize the toggles including adding in a wifi toggle.
Is this the popup that shows every time I open an app? If so, I shut that off...it was so annoying!!!

Toggle app without invisible icon?

Hi there,
I am currently using Widgetsoid for displaying several toggle buttons within my drop-down screen of the status bar. Now (As you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/3eiUSQg.jpeg) there is an invisible icon to the left which I can't delete. I could change it to a battery display, but I don't want that.
I also tried Notification Toggle but sadly with the same results.
So my questions is - is there a similar app w/o an invisible icon? Or do I have to use a custom ROM?
I actually like the Sony loader very much and wouldn't be pleased it I had to change to another just because of this.
Thanks in advance!

Change the Quick Settings Style?

Hi,
is there any way to change the quick settings bar to a more Sense like style?
I came from a HTC and i really miss the option to see all relevant settings at one screen and can quickly change the settings and not only switch them on and off...
Thanks!
If u long press the toggle the settings page for that toggle appears
