Yes, I use the Data ON-OFF widget, just check it on google play, its great. There is also Data enabler widget

Check out Notification Toggle

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...

Question - Maintain DRM keys + Remove NFC icon

I'm hoping this is a quick simple question (which has probably been asked many times before!)
With Android 7 being rolled out I was going to use this as a time to change my phone region (see below for why)
Am I correct that if i follow the updating process here xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide it will preserve DRM keys and do nothing adverse to the phone?
I am looking to change the region as my SG firmware has an always on NFC icon next to the clock and there is no option to turn it off.
At the moment RU, MY, VN firmware files are available xpericheck.com/device/E6683
Does anyone know which files do not have an always on NFC icon?
Thanks in advance!

i installed Customised Australia and it doesn't have NFC icon next to clock, and you also can bring down quick settings and hold down settings icon and it will start spinning and it will activate system ui tuner, there you can remove NFC icon.

Thanks, the ui tuner is new to me.
Unfortunately there is no NFC selection there either. I think some regions dont get the option to turn it off!
I would go with Australia from what you said but it isnt an option on the Z5 Dual Sim

I tried this myself so will post answers
The MY firmware does have the always on NFC icon
The RU firmware does not
Also noted was that MY firmware can select LTE only connections. RU cannot (Must me LTE/UTMS etc...)
MY shows LTE signal bars
RU shows 4G signal bars

For the NFC icon just check this thread!

Thanks, i saw that but didnt want to root.
Found a firmware with the NFC icon removed though!

must have apps for unrooted ?

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!

@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner

Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui

quick question 5g toggle

Hi I have a quick question., can you toggle off 5g completely. In my home country (Trinidad) it doesn't have and may not have for a good few years ?.
Please post screen shot verifying it

yes, there is a quick setting in the tile pull-down menu.
5g is off by default .. I have never enabled.
sorry, cant be bothered doing screenshots if you dont believe me .. or check phone screenshots on notebookcheck.net or gsmarena.com

Ok thanks...

Yes you can toggle it On or Off as you desire.
For everyday use I ensure that 5G is Off. As 4G+ spped are more than enough for browsing and watching videos, and 5G consumes more battery and generate more heat.
I only turn it On when downloading large apps or torrents to get the most benefits of the high speeds.
Screenshot in attachments.

That button appears only when you have a 5G sim card? I don't see that icon for enable/disable 5G in pull-down menu, not even in edit mode, only in Settings, Mobile Network I can select 5g/4g/3g/2g.

Is there a 4g/3/2g option?

This is what I got, also on last firmware .121.

This is what I got, also on last firmware .121.
I am using a different dpi setting 'smallest width' .. hence a bit different in size from above screenshot

Thank you all for the information

Question Persistent Wi-Fi Call notification

Hello,
I have noticed that the Wi-Fi Calling notification does not go away even if I turn Wi-Fi Calling off. I have already put the notification to silent and reduced but it constantly sits there and annoys me. Does anyone know a trick how to get rid of it completely? The options for disabling it are greyed out and cannot be turned off. My S21 Ultra which had the same e-SIM, came from the same region, did not have that issue although the function was turned on 24/7.
The package which causes those notifications is com.sec.unifiedwfc.
EDIT: At the moment I have blocked the notifications using AutoNotification app from the store.

I did check it but could not find anything useful. The one thing that could have helped, notification snooze time change, has failed to apply even though I granted all permissions via ADB. The app suggested to use OneUI Tuner but it is not available on xda labs when I open the official link.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the notification on the status bar

can you share a screenshot of what you are seeing? not fully understanding the issue here

It is just the carrier pushing for Wifi call. Tmobile does that.
What I do? I turn of wifi right when a call comes. The HD+ is much better without wifi.

If you put it to silent it will look as in the screenshot. Turning off is greyed out.
