i just moved to my backup 5X i bought a few months ago while my note 7 sits safely away from anything it can explode on. is there a way to get an NFC toggle on the quick settings? i dont like leaving it on all the time and prefer to quickly enable it if i need to use android pay. it takes a few too many swipes and clicks to get into the options and turn it on/off.
Custom Quick Settings offers an NFC toggle tile, although it seems to require root... android pay

My GF has the infuse 4g and if you hold the power button down a few seconds it pops up with the options to put it in plane mode, power off, etc. but it also allows you to shut off the data plan. I am being very cautious with my data plan and turn it off quite often when im not using the phone. I was hoping for a quicker means to toggle it off/on like via the power button, or the scrollbare at the top of the screen when you drag the top of the screen down.
Any way to add this capability so I dont need to keep hitting settings and data usage?
Thank you
if you flash a rom with 15 toggle mod it comes with it in the status bar.

Or if you want a stock solution, use the widget Favorite Settings. It has the data usage button on there so you could just click it and take you straight to data usage to turn it off.
I haven ever flashed the roms or any of that before so I would need to go through and learn how to do it. but my main concern with those is that I would lose my tv-out functionality if I go to a different Rom from what I hear.
Thanks for the feedback
It would be cool to have it in the scroll bar if possible.
For now I have D/L'ed the "data enabler" app and put it on my home screen.
Or you can add the Settings widget 1x1 and select Data Usage. This gives you a 2 click solution to turn mobile data on/off.
I really hate the fact that the toggle isn't in the drop down menu. Makes me think ATT is resorting to methods of confusing is customers in order to nickel and dime us.

I've owned one of these for almost a week now, and I keep finding myself wanting to be able to find an advanced options menu and change some things. Things such as the screen dim delay, gesture customization, and vibration intensity control, etc.
To that end, does anyone know if there's an app or a way to enable the watch to allow a one-press instant unlock function for the phone it is paired to? I keep my phone locked with a six digit code, the keypad having randomized positions (Feature from a custom ROM I use) each time the screen is turned on. I'd love if, when driving and I need to check something while the phone is in it's dock, I can just tap a key on my watch and have the phone unlock.
To THAT end, is there any way to enable some sort of security for the watch?
I know these things are brand new, but is anyone working on things like these? Does anything like this already exist?
search "trusted bluetooth". with lollipop and some custom ROMs(?) you can set the watch up as a trusted BT device, which will unlock the phone. things like "open on phone" actually pull the app up.
Is there any way to add a toggle for NFC without root?
I am liking using my phone to pay for stuff.. but I like the ease of swiping down to turn on and off NFC before and after I use it to pay. As well as the quick visual of being able to see if it is on without swiping down, touching gear, and then touching more... Am I being paranoid that someone may be scanning for NFC devices and this is why I do not want it on all the time? Is there a way to give Android pay the ability to turn it on and off when it opens and closes?
I noticed quick tiles can add a toggle for this... But alas it requires root... And from what I understand root and Android pay is not a smart idea even if there is a way to make it work.

I use Tiles (though it is a paid app):

Does tiles actually turn on and off NFC or just send you to the settings page for you to turn it on or off?
Already found a solution that got me that far.
Which solution did you find?

Absolutely.
But a solution maybe through adb (no root) , give tiles write settings, so the nfc toggle can be activated.
Android 10, screen locked, but can still toggle wifi, bluetooth and hotspot using the drop down quick setting menu. Only location seems to require an unlock. This can't be secure. Anyway to lock it down besides removing the sensitive shortcuts from the menu?
This is annoying because it toggles my Do Not Disturb sometimes while in my pocket.
Every day I get these notifications, they say "Check access settings" and tell me that there's apps that have certain access that i may want to disable, and it tells me "Tap to review".
I'm getting pretty tired of having to swipe these away every day, is there a way to disable them? When i go into the options to disable them by long pressing the notification, it takes me to notification options that are disabled. There's got to be another place somewhere where i can disable this?

I long press notifications like that and set them to "Silent". Now I have a dozen silent notifications all the time, but they don't bother me. It's the price I gotta pay...
You can still swipe them away while they're silent, but I just don't bother most of the time.

I was also getting these daily (about 3 everyday) on my Pixel 6 Pro & 3 XL. And you can't disable them because they are a specific Android System notification. Such a weird bug. I even tried a factory reset.
I've moved to GrapheneOS and ProtonAOSP on my Pixel 3/6 Pro and these Android Forks are like night and day. Auto brightness, battery life etc work much better than Stock. I haven't used Android Forks in years but I've moved away from Google Services so it was time. I like being able to pick what app I want to install and what type of data is being sent to Google - rather than just having everything sent to GAFAM (Google / Facebook etc). And the built-in firewalls for network access and being able to disable sensors can't be underestimated. I can use Google Camera, GBoard etc without internet access. /rant over
