Does anyone know how to get a gps toggle in the quick settings? Would love to be able to have it back. I don't like the location with everything included. I want location on and want to bounce between GPS and networks only location.

Is there any app/widget that enables bluetooth and at the same time disables wifi and data?
I need a widget that can do that...
Thanks
Quick settings is my best suggestion. Combine with quick battery to launch = excellent.

How can I do that? I was travelling in an unknown location yesterday and was using GMaps, but when the screen was going off GPS was losing its connection and it was re-established after some seconds, it was annoying and time consuming. Not only GMaps, other GPS related applications also react the same way! Could anything be done? Anyone?
Thanks in advance.

If you are using Google Maps without the "Navigation" like i do because of the country restrictions then you are right; GPS goes off with the screen. But if you have 3rd party navigation apps, like Sygic or Route 66, then they either do not allow the screen to sleep or do not let GPS turn off even if the app is minimised in the background.
But if you still want to use your Maps there was this app which you can select the apps and when those apps are on on the foreground it prevents the screen from turning off. But i can not remember the name. If i can find it i will post here.
'KeepScreen' available at Play Store. Just search for it.

What happens when you have My Tracks recording in the background?

Use backitude from Play Store to control gps usage

Yes, I've seen My Tracks keeps steady gps signal when screen is on, but it loses it's stability when screen is off, it's really annoying!
@Others: Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them both and give feedback.
PS: Backitude is meant for Google Latitude! I don't use Latitude, so it'll do no good for me.

I can't seem to find GPS shortcut for the pull-down menu after I did the KitKat update. Did they remove it or am I just blind and cannot find it?
Its called location. If you don't see that then scroll all the way to the right and click on edit and look for location. If its already checked then try toggling it off and back on

I just figured that out. I really liked having 1 click GPS on and off. Now its 3 clicks. Oh well I guess I'll get used to it.
How is it 3 clicks? Once its on your notification panel you just toggle on/off with one click

Doing that also turns off the cell and Wi-Fi location services. I was just looking for the quick GPS sensor toggle.
Yeah it depends if you want to keep it on a certain mode. Thus far using the battery saving mode has still given me accurate GPS location. I haven't tried using navigation with it though so not sure if that would work just as well or not.

Basically the title, would there be a way to get a wifi calling quicksettings toggle in the notification bar? Some areas have a good signal so I don't need wifi callong, and others don't so I do. Would love to be able to toggle it on and off.

It's what I have set right now, but at home it will nine between 1 bar and wifi calling. Just somewhat of a hassle to go into settings to turn it on and off that's all.

OK. I'm on cm 12.1.. I have tasker installed. With the system profiles in settings ,we have automobile ,silent and default. Anyone know of a tasker task that can trigger these? Like..I want to trigger silent profile at a certain time. Its an easy way to set certain things to be either off or on. Ex: data off, media sound on, WiFi on...etc etc
