How do I make turning on wifi tether quicker? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

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."

Definitely go for Widgetlocker.
Widgetlocker!!! its brill
Like others have said, Widget Locker is probably the best. It's available for $0.99 in the Amazon App Store and it's one of their best selling apps (that's how I found out about it).
Thanks guys, just got it. agreed its the nuts!
the other little thing pissing me off, cant customise the powercontrol widget.
Anyway to get WidgetLocker to not unlock with home key press?

Yes, it got something to do with homehelper.
Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.
That did the trick for me.

Same but I want something which works with Samsung's music player's lockscreen widget.
Where I don't need to unlock phone to change tracks, pause /play etc.
Anyone got any ideas???
You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper

WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

I'm using the stock android pattern lockscreen.
when I enable widget locker it appears an icon in the notification tab. Is there a way to remove that?

Extended Controls. Market search it. It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! ) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app.
I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.

[Q] PA ROM - Drop Down Menu Question

So I had a ROMd Moto Atrix 2, and moved into this N4 a couple days ago. On the A2, when I pulled the drop down menu down from the top, I had the Wifi On/Off, GPS On/Off, Data On/Off, Vibrate/Ringer On/Off, Bluetooth, etc.
Is there a setting somewhere in Paranoid Android ROM that allows me to add these features?

Hey i was googling for my answer and this thread came up that's why i'm replying so late.
But if you can help me i'd love it.
I just installed PA and gapps.
It works fine and all but I can't get the quick pull down menu at the top to show up.
I can bring it up using pie but I really want to have the toolbar at the top too displaying battery life time and notifications.
Is there anyway to do that?
I have "quick pulldown" selected in the settings menu but i don't think it works.

[Q] Notification bar/Quick tile settings

Just a random (but important) question: why do I get Quick Settings page as my default when I pull the notification bar down? Shouldn't it be the notifications page? And how do I change it? Running OmniROM 4.4.2 Nightly (26/1/2014)
You should only have quick settings when swiping down from the upper right corner. You can change this under settings -> notification bar. If it's happening generally when swiping down i don't know. Sorry

So you have the smart pulldown enabled?

Notification Swipe Down Option? (No, not with the fingerprint sensor)

Is there an option or an app that allows you to swipe down from anywhere on the screen to bring down the notification bar? I know launchers like Nova allow you to do that, but I'm really enjoying TouchWiz this time around, and with my small hands, I'd really like to swipe down anywhere on the screen to get the notification tray. If I'm adjusting my hands and fingers to stretch up to swipe down from the rear fingerprint sensor, I might as well just swipe down from the notification bar.
I've noticed Samsung is blocking this only when it comes to the notifications. In action launcher 3 I can map swipe down to anything other than the notification panel.
I use the "All In One Gestures" app and remapped my back soft key to the notification pulldown on a long press.
Odd. I have this working with Nova on my S8
If you enable the app drawer button instead of just swiping, then you can swipe down from anywhere for notifications.

Are you sure this is true? Did you have to enable that somewhere? Not the fingerprint reader, and on the touchwiz launcher.
Well, I was wrong. I read that adding the app button would allow swiping down from anywhere. Just tested out and it still doesn't work. Sorry.

Why do Verizon customers not get this version through official channels like the Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy App Store?

Quick settings - hot spot toggle won't hide?

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

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

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.
