Can anyone recommend a good on/off toggle widget for GPRS and wifi for the homepage?
I am using the Extended Controls widget and that works fine for me.
Yeah, the control bar works great, but if your not a fan, try the Widgets from curvefish.

I'm using SwitchPro Widget (Paid) and works perfectly! It was worth spending a few cents..
If you use CyanogenMod, the widget "PowerControl" is included. Or you can turn on the notification buttons and do it from your status bar anytime.
I use Widgetsoid. See here: http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetsoid2-x/com.jim2. Easy to use and customizable.
Can we add the toggle for the portable wifi hotspot to the quick settings pull-down?
The USB Tethering option is there...
It's present on CM etc...
I have a shortcut to the settings page on my desktop at the mo, but the qhick settings toggle is way easier to get to and less clicks.
TIA
It's already there. You have to flip the wifi tile once to access it.

DOH!
I'd flipped the USB Tethering tile and others... but just didn't flip the WiFi one... LOL
Thanks!
Can't find LTE icon in Notification drawer, or even the option to add it; I used to have the option to add it in the past!

When u use WiFi, no icon will appear. You must deactivate WiFi first.

Did you enabled LTE band in data settings? Which rom you use? Any themes or mods?
Instead of having to go through all the settings, is there perhaps a widget or something I can add to my main screen that will turn my phone into a hotspot?
Thanks!
There's a quick settings tile. That's what I use to toggle it on and off.
yup, just use the quick setting tile.
you can change it to the first 5 by pulling down the QS panel and clicking the edit toggle on the bottom right. then drag away.
Thanks guys, worked perfect and is exactly what i was looking for..!

My Tmo V20 doesn't have that option. Are you using Verizon or ATT?

I have that option on my VZW V20..
T-Mobile does NOT have this toggle. there is however an alternative. look in the play store for apps like "tiles."

I've been setting up my essential phone and noticed a weird issue with quick settings toggles...I've reordered and removed some, yet hot spot won't go away.
I remove it, it shows removed, then if i close the area then reopen it, hot spot it back. Only happens with that one. Others have removed and stay removed, like location and cell data.
Am i only in this weird bug?
I'm also seeing this same issue on mine
I'm seeing the same thing. I'm also unable to create any app shortcuts – the long-press on the launcher just doesn't work. Works fine in every other app.
On the sprint version, it doesn't even have a toggle for that.

Yes it does. If you don't have it as an option, it hasn't been provisioned for your phone. Screenshot attached and yes I'm on Sprint

It's included in my current plan 10gb\mo. I think it's called unlimited freedom. Unlimited data,talk,text, and 10gb hotspot

Ok, I don't subscribe to it so it doesn't show for me, sprint has hidden it in the settings, it's still there and it works without subscription.

Could you help point out how you have hotspot working while it's hidden in settings?

Create a shortcut to it using your launcher, I'd suggest using Nova.

I have had this bug also but it seems fixed in the latest firmware update.

If it's not too much of a bother, could you just give a step by step of how to do this? Thx.

i'm doing this with nova launcher, however this should work with other launchers.
long press your home screen
go to widgets
nova widgets
drag activities to your homescreen
scroll down to settings
scroll down to tethering and portable hotspot, click it...
you now have access to the hidden tethering menu

It works with the default launcher as well. I haven't used it much, though, as I noticed it heats up the phone quite a bit.
Any way to being it back the icon to quick menu? It is very inconvenient to use an external app to bring up the shortcut.
