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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DOH!
I'd flipped the USB Tethering tile and others... but just didn't flip the WiFi one... LOL
Thanks!
Looking for an app or a quick way to access bluetooth settings (without having to swipe down quick settings).
The apps I used on my other phone force closes. Not sure why samsung is making this hard. Tried anycut and more shortcuts btw. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to add a hotspot button to my homescreen? On my S III I had a button that got to the homescreen that took me to my hotspot screen so I could quickly change settings and enable it. Is there a way to get this feature on the s5?
Just downloaded the app Anycut from the play store. Makes any shortcut you need.

Was just wondering this myself
I was about to post the same thing and it showed me his thread was already out there. Bumping for visibility.
I don't care if it is a quick toggle or a widget but "pull-tap-swipe-tap-tap-swipe" to enable is way too much.
I use Nova Launcher and have a shortcut set up to take me to the screen with the toggle (on/off) switch for Mobile Hotspot. This is very similar to the way you access the built-in DPI settings control.
1) Add widget
2) Drag "Activities" under the Nova Launcher section at the top to the place you want to put it on your home screen (or in a folder)
3) Scroll to "Settings" and expand the selection
4) Select "Mobile Hotspot" (.Settings$WifiApSettingsActivity) (Note: this is on my T-Mobile S7 Edge. YMMV.)
Now when you click on that widget you can activate the hotspot with one additional click.
Here's on Tmobile as well... another way is to add "TMobile Hotspot app" on the edge apps list.. then when you need it, just swipe, tap, tap to enable it
I use this literally everytime I get into my car. (I have a Android Mirror for Navigation). And its a huge PITA, to have to go into settings to enable the hotspot.
I can' believe they have nearby but not Hotspot.

Actually Apps can add there own toggle on Nougat , I have a App called ACR (paid for), and it has a toggle I can add to the pull down menu.
SO we just need a app that enables this and it will be better than before.
I use Tasker to automate hotspot when i get i my car. Create an event to detect bluetooth connection -> turn on hotspot.
I use a Power Toggles widget. With Samsung's Good Lock app, I can even add the widget to the lock screen, and turn on the hotspot without unlocking the phone.
Try this:
It is an app, no permissions no adds, add to homescreen, done.

Unless Samsung adds it, not without root.
It's available in Good Lock.
