The ability to toggle things on and off from the home screen have always been important to me. This is something I feel is major that WP7 doesn't have. I am looking for the ability to have a toggle switch to turn Wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, and other similar things on and off from the home screen. In searching the closest thing I could find is this:

If anyone knows about development of toggle switches or know if they are coming in the update that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Try attached file this contain toogle for.
airplane mode
wifi settings
bluetooth
data connection
location
Are these supposed to be toggle switches for the home screen or just open then settings for each individual application? For me this is taking it from three steps to turn Wifi on and off of only two steps. Thank you for the reply, and I absolutely love your registry thread, but I don't think this is what I am looking for. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I would like to see them in metro style. Simple white icons without the 3d effect.

No problem. You can do it yourself.
1. Rename the .xap file to .zip
2. Unzip the file
3. Open the unzipped folder
4. Replace the application and background icons with the icons of your choice (same size)
5. Zip all files again
6. Rename the new .zip file to .xap
7. Deploy
Personally I use Dinik Anastasia icons because on OMNIA 7 they look much better than the metro icons...

Not Switches
Once you go to settings and set each of these application you do not need a button on the home screen to get back to each individual setting. This is a waist of space for a home screen that is supposed to be clean. The switch would just turn it on and off from the home screen. I am not looking for a shortcut (and I know what one is), I am hoping to find someone working one toggle switches for the home screen.
What it would need to be is a program that runs a live tile. When the particular tile is clicked on the home screen it would have the program switch that particular connection on or off.
The look of the tile doesn't matter unless it is a useful tile.

better than this you don't get for the moment
I figured this when I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. I am hoping to spur somebody into working one this, or finding someone that already is. I was also hoping to find out if Microsoft was thinking about this.
What I would love is a one tap shortcut to 1 page with all the toggles. So instead of me going to setting- wifi - on I could go settings -on , this would apply for bluetooth, location, brightness, etc.
I swore I saw this app posted somewhere but so far all i could find are the individual app shortcuts.
PS If you're like me and actually use voice control all the time, I actually installed the wifi and location shortcuts but didn't pin them to the home screen I simple hold down the start button and say "Open Wifi" works like a charm!
I'm also waiting for a toggle feature. In fact its the only reason I haven't purchased a WP7 device yet.
As soon as there's an easy way to toggle data on/off I'm buying the HD7.
take a look .

The OP said 3 or 4 times that he doesn't want to have that, lucmar! And if you would read the first page you would see exactly that! He wants to have a toggle to switch it on/off! Is reading a post that hard?
Personally the live toggle tiles are a waste of space. My idea is to have the toggles in the menu bar that pops up when you press the volume buttons.
So you press the volume buttons, the menu pops up, you swipe left or right (same you get rid of notifications) and it brings up another part of the menu bar with access to all the common toggles.
The main advanage of this is that you can access the toggles from anywhere as the volume bar is OS wide so you don't have to quit your app/game to access the toggles unlike if you have live tiles.
This is a great idea and would be nice as an overall experience. This would take a lot of programming, and at the rate Microsoft is coming out with updates, this would not be done for another 2 or 3 years. That is why I can asking for a very simple program that turns on and off settings and has a toggle switch when pinned to the home screen. This would only take a day or two by an experience programmer. Anyone?

Well I don't know if MS reads this forum or if anyone at xda is even working on this.
That's actually a great idea. To swipe the volume bar to get comm manager toggles. Clean and simple

Hi
I´m wondering if there is a solution to hide the night mode notification banner in the lockscreen.
On HTC 10 and A9 you can hide it under:
settings/apps/settings/notifications --> block all
but with htc u11 (or android 7.1.1) block all option is gone.
So I can see from sunset to sunrise, the very informative banner that night mode is on.
So the only way to hide this ugly, big, white banner that tells you what you
know anyway from the icon in the left upper corner, is to forbid all the notifications on lockscreen.
Also no good solution because, now it´s clear that no other notifications are displayed like SMS..etc.
So please if somebody had a solution to hide only the night shift notification banner on lockscreen please let me know.
thx

Thanks for your response but for me there are only two options in the
menu shown in your picture.
Show all or hide all notifications..... maybe its Rom specific......Rom is Maximus HD 2.0
It's been bugging since I got the phone... The notification is always on when night mode is on.
I finally figured it out.
Long hold the notification on the lock screen or the notification tray
a menu will appear and then tap on "all categories"
Once that's completed, a new page will be brought forward in notification settings
On my device (yours may defer) there are 4 options to choose from. Choose night mode
You'll be brought to another new page and towards the bottom you'll see "on the lock screen". Tap it and you can choose to never show
Hope that helps if you havnt already figured it out
Hey ya'll,
Finally upgraded to the S8+ from an S7
Setting up as usual, and noticed the brightness is too high.
So I go to turn on Auto Brightness only to find-
There's no option for it.
No button, no check box in the context menu on the nav bar, no selection in Display settings, Accessibility, or Dev options.
What the heck?
I've already checked the forums here and went to Google- no answers.
The S8 seems to have an option for it- was it removed for BS reasons in the plus model?
Or is it hidden really well?
I seem to recall Samsung once hiding the Mobile Data button a few years ago on a previous model; dunno if it's the same thing this time around.
Screenshots added for proof.

Hi XDA,
I updated to Pie this morning and noticed that now when my phone turns to night mode this pesky little bar appears on my lock screen to tell me that night mode is on. As if I didn't already know. I've tried searching for other posts of this problem but couldn't find any.
When I go into app notifications, under 'Settings' the option to turn off 'night mode' notifications is grayed out. Previously in Oreo the notification was never an issue, I think because there wasn't a big bar across the screen.
It'd be great to disable just the night mode notification and not any other notification like WhatsApp or Facebook for example.
Thanks in advance
PS tried uploading images using the app, didn't work. Tried uploading the photos to my Dropbox then linking it here but XDA won't let me because I haven't reached 10 posts yet
Well from my understanding... We are unable to remove this notification permanently... Jusy a few hours at a time. It bugs me so much
I just got a Zenfone 6 and mostly like it so far, but I'm running into a really annoying UI issue that I've not been able to find any info on.
When I'm using the phone in landscape mode and drag down from the top, the quick toggle pane dominates the view and won't minimize, leaving a tiny sliver of space to view notifications that's smaller than even a single notification.
I've attached a screenshot of what this looks like, is anyone else having this issue? Have you found a setting to fix this?
Yeah, I've got this, I notice it when I put it my holder in the car.
Does seem strange & completely unnecessary so hope there's a solution within the current settings somewhere......
