Hey guys,
I like to keep "Access to my location" under "Location Access" off unless I'm using a navigation app.
It's a pain to dig through menus to turn it on/off.
I've found widgets for enabling/disabling everything else except this. Anybody have any ideas?
GPS widget won't do it.
Thanks!

Tasker with Secure Settings plugin can do it.

It is now yes, just search the Market for "data toggle".
hm, i don't think you got my point
all of these just toggle between 2g and 3g, that's not what i need
in wireless under mobile, there's an option to completely turn off any data traffic, i want to make a shortcut to that option
EDIT: ok, now it works! (data toggle)
i had data traffic disabled so nothing happened but when i enabled it, now the widget works (but curiously in wireless settings it still says that data traffic is enabled but i can't connect to anything so it must be disabled i guess)

I'm not sure about customizing the provided one, when I was using the stock rom I looked for a way and didn't find anything. Since switching to CM10 it has a similar way with quick settings being customizable in notification area.
You could use Notification Toggle, an app that adds buttons to the notification area, but Samsung already crammed that notification area so full I wasn't real happy with it as it was - and this would just make it fuller...
Hi all,
On Sprint Stock OC9, and rooted.
I am wondering if there is a way to disable some of the system notifications like "Charging... xx minutes Until Full" or the "Location Set By GPS". These are rather unnecessary. The GPS icon can stay but I don't need a notification along with it.
I'm sure there's others.. but those are the two driving me crazy right now.
I hear you on the Location Notification. Also don't like the keyboard switcher either!
I didn't even notice the IME wasn't an option in Language and input. I know on AOSP ROMs you can show and hide that one.

Remove keyboard switcher simply by disabling the other keyboards. I'm only using SwiftKey and that's it.

Go into Settings->Sounds and Notifications->App Notifications. You can then turn off notifications on a per-app basis. For some apps, you can actually long-press on the notification and change the setting.

I think the ones I want to disable are all from System UI.... and there are no options...
Ah, I see. Yeah, might need a special root app for that.
I was using the S4 mini ( Android 4.2.2) before I switched to S6 (Android 5.0.2).
On the old device the stock weather widget can detect my location without GPS on. I suppose it uses data from ISP via mobile radio or wifi.
However it is not the same for S6. The stock weather widget required "Location" to be turned on in order to detect my location. When I enabled "Location", the GPS was automatically turned on. I then set the "Locating method" to "Wifi and mobile networks". I thought I could disable GPS whilst still being able to detect my location. Sadly turning off GPS would also disable "Location" and the detection failed.
Is there a way for the S6 widget to act in a way as my old device?
I now understand what has happened. The quick setting button after dragging down the notification bar is a "Location" button and not a "GPS" button. This is extremely inconvenient and causing confusion !!
On 4.2.2 I can select coarse location detection via mobile and wifi and if I need more precise detection I just toggle the GPS button.
On 5.0.2 I have to re-enter the "location" setting menu and re-select "location detection" option to deploy GPS.
Why is the Lollipop so user unfriendly? I lost not only the quick launch buttons on the lockscreen but also a GPS button, sigh.

It's actually an attempt to make it more user friendly. The majority of people using these phones become easily confused when given more options. At least that's what Google and Samsung seem to think...
If you're rooted, you can use a combination of the apps Tasker and Secure Settings to have the phone toggle between "mobile & wifi only" and "mobile & wifi & GPS" as needed.
If you're not rooted, there isn't really anything that can be done about it.
I use GWD and I want to put a button on the face that will give me a shortcut to either Settings in general or Bluetooth specifically. I turn my BT on and off frequently while traveling and there is a Settings selection on the pull down but I'd like to speed that process up some. Anyone know the App ID for that? Or if there even is one? Thanks!
App "Toggles" or "Air Toggle"
EDIT : oh no, it is a phone Toggle sorry
