Any easier way to turn on/off GPS?

There's no option on the notification bar to turn GPS on and off. My Nexus 4 just came in today. I switched over from Galaxy S2. I always had GPS turned off on my S2 until I use maps and navigation. On the Nexus 4 I have to go into the settings menu. Not very convenient.

Not on stock. Custom roms have the option to add it to the quick settings. Alternatively you can add the power control widget to your homescreen.
In my experience, leaving GPS on doesn't effect battery life. It stays idle until its called. Saves the need for toggling it on and off.

If you want quick toggles in your notification bar, you should try Widgetsoid app.

Control Galaxy S5 setting with Tasker

Hello,
Are there any app that can control Galaxy S5 some settings with the Tasker profiles.
For an example enable Power savings mode at the night as well as battery drop to 20%.

Can Schedule Power On/Off?

Hi, anyone here know have Galaxy Note 4 got Schedule Power On/Off?
I want to turn off my device and turn on automatically by pre-set timer. I saw other brand devices can set this function on the setting, why Samsung Galaxy series don't have this function?
Or can use other apps to make it?
Thank you.

Turning off on a preset timer by an app is easy but turning on... how can turn on if so is not running?
Think in an old crt TV. If you power off using power button on TV the timer don't work but if you turn off using power button on remote controller timer works because TV was on stand by mode.
When you turn off your phone is like power off TV with power button. No stand by mode so cannot turn it on by software

As previous reply said:
turning off = YES
turning on = NO
Only some type of phone (rare) & a computer can do that (with capable BIOS)
Each phone has its own advantages/disadvantages & our phone has Ultra Powersaving + S-Pen

What exactly does the S6 Edge+ power saving mode do?

Hey all,
I have a rooted Samsung S6 Edge+ (928F) - since Secure Settings isn't all that functional on Samsung devices anymore, I'm trying to workaround that by re-creating, as much as possible, in Tasker the things the Power Savings Mode achieves when activated.
Does anyone know exactly what power savings mode does on a device?

Vibration off for back and recent apps buttons and also light off for those buttons. That's all I noticed

The processor will get under-clocked a bit!

Hmm, I wonder if that's doable in Tasker. I'll dig around.

Yeah, so far it seems like vibration off, screen brightness set low, screen timeout set to as low as possible - I wonder if it also turns off auto-sync?
