This is an option ALL phones i had had. Strangely not in the BT menu.. Like it's hidden by Samsung by choice..! How to get it back/find a way to switch that option? I want to use BT but don't want to be "found"!

Isn't it always hidden, unless you are in the bluetooth menu or you have already paired the device?

Bro, you think I'm dumb enough not to have checked that before asking?
Children, don't argue
Use Good Lock and you'll find the option you're looking for under Quickstar.

I was curious so I checked it. My phone is not seen when not in Bluetooth menu. So that's good to know. Goodlock/Quickstar will help hiding Bluetooth and or other icons

GoodLock is nice, but neither in Quickstar, neither other section i found the solution to my issue.
I was posting from (gasp!) iPad, now here's a screenshot of my phone (the "W" Canadian variant, but I doubt that makes a difference).
BTW, there's also SystemUI Tuner that can accomplish the same.
EDIT: Oh, I just realized you're not looking to hide the BT icon, but to keep the phone invisible while BT is on. This is not it.

But that is the standard for all Android phones for several years.
Do have any of the sharing options enabled, which maybe makes you visible?

What are those "sharing option" you refer to..? Just having BT turned on makes you visible. This is by default on any device. Usually there's a setting to make your device "'invisible". I checked on older Galaxy : it's there! Sometimes, manufacturer intentionnally HIDE a setting in menu. So i can be reactivated, but i dunno the process.

Search for "Nearby sharing" in settings...
This seems to be related to 2 settings - "Nearby sharing" is in Google settings and then there is "Quick share" as well...
Indeed there's such option in "Nearby sharing".. But it's only for this service : Phone's still visible even if you disable visibility in "Nearby sharing".. There should be an option in the BT (sub)menu itself as said.

Is it possible to disable the Lock screen altogether, or at least disable it when connected to your home wifi network? I've tried the "Unlock with Wifi" app but it doesn't seem to work on the S2

Eh? Ripple lock just added a 2nd level of lock (the opposite of what I'm looking for), and the 2nd link pointed to some irrelevant search results. Am I missing something??
No Lock ain't bad but no it won't unlock when connected to WiFi.

^Right.
Delayed Lock is also there.

the second link with all the search results was for you to actually go through and see what other people had the same problem as yourself...rather than waiting to ask for people on here to reply for you i thought i do the search for you and see what comes up, and you can see other peoples opinions and recommendations that they left on other peoples threads thats all..
apologies for the first link just thought if you try that it might of helped...what about widgetlocker
Edit: forget about widgetlocker that wont do it for you...
Check the search result link that i gave you and just read about what other people suggest in the other threads
I'm using the T-Mobile V30 and I can go into settings or the t-mobile app to activate the mobile hotspot but it's not an option to add a toggle to the pull down (notification panel) menu, does anyone else have this issue or know how to add it?
Yeah ... same here.
I think they are trying to push everyone to use the Tmo app
Yeah, no toggle here either but at least there is still the option to tether in the settings menu.
Ugh, that is so annoying. It was so nice to just hit the toggle. I can't wait for root.

Have you tried looking for a widget in the play store to handle this? You might have some luck there!

The T-mobile hotspot app does have a toggle widget but I was looking for something from the status bar menu. I actually like the floating bar that LG used to replace the 2nd screen and I would use it if you could put widgets into it (like the hostpot toggle). I think it would be so much more useful if there was a way to put widgets into the floating bar.

Thanks for finding that but can you check to see if it actually is working? I can add the toggle to the notification panel now but it doesn't turn it on or off for me.

It does turn off the Wifi though when I hit the hotspot toggle.

if it doesnt work for u go into the setting to add an app to the quick setting. after doing that select the hotspot app. is another step but is a good solution for a shortcut
it will end up looking like this

I hope someone from this discussion is still paying attention. I can't get this app to work for me. I got the hotspot toggle to be available, but it only turns off Wi-Fi, and doesn't enable my hotspot. I don't get what I'm missing.
Anyone find a way to do this through the adb shell? I tried: settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "hotspot" but no luck.
I have the sprint (unlocked) lg v50 on pie and it also does not have mobile hotspot quick setting.
I have to goto settings>network>tether>hotspot.
So dumb
I also have a us cellular v30+ (unlocked) on pie and it does have hotspot quick setting as it should.

I absolutely hate this type of in your face bloat.

Swiping doesn't do anything. Really annoying "feature". Hopefully will be gone in a future update
I love using front cam with the flashlight/torch on. But the latest update disabled the flashlight when the cam is on. Anyone knows how the workaround?

Hello,
I want to change the ttl on my phone's hotspot.
Anyone have any clue where to?
Time Til Live?
If so I do not see that option on the G965U, so I don't see where or how it is possible.
Only timeout when no device connected.
I looked and saw the option present, not sure if it is present on yours or not. Only viewable after you select advanced options after going to the configure hot spot men7lu.

Maybe it's been deactivated? Check it out!
Options -> system -> gestures -> side sense
It's disappeared for me a few times, generally a reboot and then toggling it on and off fixes it. That said, I hate the bar. There is no good placement for it where it's both easy to reach and doesn't get in the way. I setup tasker to manually launch it with Shortcut > Side Sense Window Manager.
Shoot now mine disappeared and won't come back. I had it disabled but now I miss the little guy...
Edit: Trying to see if I can restart the service manually but not sure which one and I can't quite get the format right to launch any of them yet.
