Is there any way to disable the quick settings panel on the lockscreen on Android 12 and 11? I want to disable it, just like it used to be on the older Android versions. If I cannot the disable it, can it be abused if my phone is lost or stolen?

I am using Realme 3. I would like to restrict the quick settings icon from being used so that when the user clicks on the quick settings icon, the mobile should ask for a password. What is the way to disable the quick settings icon or set a lock for that icon?

Device name: Realme Narzo N61 Android version: 14 The Pulldown Quick settings 1st screen is shown below. It has more screens as you swipe right on this. Through the edit Quick Settings options, other options like Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, Torch & other icons can be added or removed from the Quick Settings panel. However, the Big Fat Display Adjustment Icon doesn't seem to be removable. This is a huge problem because if your hand accidently touches it at the wrong point, you may end up making your display brightness zero and after that it's very difficult to adjust it back higher because you can't see anything. Is there a way to not have this big one in the Quick Settings? UPDATE: Looks like this is an Android 14 feature, rather than something specific to the Narzo. I found someone complaining about it but for other reasons. https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/1fctlmd/very_unwelcome_change_to_quick_settings/

The default "Screen Record" button from the dropdown menu on my Huawei P40 magically vanished a few days ago. I checked Reddit for a solution and found others having the same problem without a solution. I updated the phone to v12 Kernel software. The recorder icon is still missing and the old screenshot button has a screenshot/scrollshot dropdown. After an hour, I found that I could roll back to v10 Kernel, but I don't know yet if it will restore the icon. I first need to backup 116GB on my phone which is a huge inconvenience. I may back up my phone, do a rollback, and find the icon is still not restored. Please help.

I'm trying to modify the quick settings tiles on a Pixel 8a (Android 14) so that I have instant access to the mobile data tile (and preferably wi-fi also) without having to navigate via the "internet" tile. I did this on a Moto G Pro 2020 with Android 12 via ADB tools: - install android-tools-adb on computer - Settings > About Phone > Build Number 7 times - Settings > System > Developer Options > USB Debugging mode - plug phone into computer - file transfer (MTP) mode - adb devices, confirm on phone, then run again - adb shell - settings put global settings_provider_model false - settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "wifi,cell,$(settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles)" But I understand the exact commands vary by phone and Android version and can really mess things up if you get it wrong. So wanted to confirm first that this approach is still valid for Pixel 8a and Android 14? And if not, what are the correct commands?

I'm using a Samsung phone. I need a way to disable or hide the edit pencil icon that edits the tiles on the quick settings panel. Is there any way to achieve this using ADB command?

Here is what I am trying to achieve, I'm trying to derive an adb shell command that allows me to toggle these switches inside the settings app programmatically. I've used dumpsys to figure out these component names (at least that's what I believe). fuxi:/ # dumpsys package com.android.settings Service Resolver Table: Non-Data Actions:

In my Android 14 (stock/Pixel 7) (it was the same when it was Android 13 before the update), I can activate and deactivate the internet connection via Mobile Data and WiFi. What bothers me is that I have to do two taps. Is there a way to have Mobile Data and WiFi connection as separate options instead of one? I remember that this was possible on a Huawei with Android 9 flavour.

On my Nokia C20 which runs Android Go 11 when I pull down the quick settings menu there is only 3 items on it, and I cant find a way to change it. Is there any way I can fix that?

My screen timeout is set to one minute, but there are cases when I temporarily want to change it to 30, which is the maximum value apparently. The fastest way I found is to create a shortcut to the Display section of the settings app. I still need to close the app I'm in, click on the shortcut, then click timeout, then select 30 minutes. Is there a faster way? Ideally, I'd like to have an option to completely disable screen timeout in the quick settings dropdown, but I think it's up to the device manufacturer what's in that menu? If it matters, I have a FairPhone 4 with Android 12

I translated the firmware Flyme 8.0.0.0A Stable (RU & UA) for Meizu Note 9 and Meizu 8X, but I can’t kill the Chinese in the quick settings: The fact is that China’s events are taking place there - the usual date, for example, if you translate from Chinese “己亥 年 十月 廿六” - “October 26.” Who can help remove this problem from the quick settings? Or at least tell me where to look in SystemUI.apk , I suspect that somewhere in the Smali code. Thanks.

Recently I noticed the second space in MIUI has been stripped of several handy settings and shortcuts, which is a back draw on an otherwise good feature. I am looking for a way to add missing shortcuts on quick setting panel (without necessarily installing 3rd party application(s)). I already have a shortcut to the required setting i.e mobile hotspot, but I prefer a quick setting tile. I want to achieve something similar to this: How to Restore the Mobile Data and Mobile Hotspot Quick Settings Toggles on Samsung Galaxy Devices but in this case for MIUI second space. Note: settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles already has entry for hotspot tile, but it just doesn't appear in second space. *Automation solution is appreciated but should be toggle option on quick settings* The device is rooted, running on Android 9 miui.

I have been using my phone to make contactless payments for about 2 years now. I could always access my virtual cards through the quick settings menu. To be honest I don't remember exactly how I set it up initially, but I didn't have the Google Wallet App installed before this issue occured. When I wanted to pay today, I realized that the Wallet tile is greyed out. A quick online search did not provide any information other than it may be regionally locked. After that I installed the Google Wallet app and upon opening it both my virtual cards show up just fine. I just can't get the Quick setting tile to work. I've also tried clearing all Google services' caches to no avail. My phone is a Nokia XR20 with Android 13 and Quickstep as Launcher (Android One) How can I activate my quick setting tile again?

Ever since Android added the camera and mic access shortcuts and the quick access menu, I've often found myself forgetting to click the 'block camera access' shortcut after I'm done taking a picture or video. How might one set this feature so that it blocks access immediately after closing the camera app, or after a certain period of inactivity?

I have a case for my tablet that covers just 1-2mm of the edge of the screen. I love the case, but it makes accessing the notifications pull-down menu very difficult. Is there anyway to increase the pull-down range height so that I can access it more easily with the case on?

This is Nokia C01 Plus running Android version 11 (as per what's shown in About Phone). Quick Settings (swipe down icons) - when you swipe down from the top of the screen, you get these icons which allow you to toggle several settings (WiFi, Airplane Mode, Mobile Data, Flashlight, Bluetooth, Hotspot, Data Saver, Battery Saver, etc). On all Android phones I have used, there are multiple rows of these icons visible when you swipe down. But on this phone, I can just have 1 row with 3 icons - most icons are available when I try to edit the swipe-down icons list, but I can only have 3 in total available at all times. Image courtesy of [91Mobiles](https://www.91mobiles.com/nokia-c01-plus-price-in-india?ty=gallery) Is there a way to have more?

I have Samsung Galaxy A52 with Android 12. When I swipe down at home screen QuickPanel shows up with one row of icons. If I swipe again entire QuickPanel shows up. I would like to increase the number of rows visible after first swipe. I searched Settings but I didn't find anything relevant. Is it possible to add more rows? If yes, how?

I have a device with MIUI 13, that removed (hid) the Android stock multi-user feature that I need. I recalled the activity to show the multi-user feature in settings via shortcut maker (adding accounts works normally), but unfortunately, the lock screen UI doesn't show the switch user shortcuts. So, the only way to switch is to enter in multi-user menu and choose one, but with a PIN-protected device, it's not applicable. Then I need a way to "programmatically" switch to a user with an intent/activity (sorry, I never developed on Android, some concept is not too clear at this time), exactly how to the Android stock lock screen UI does. Having a way to do that in this way, I can place a quick setting tile to achieve my target. Someone can push me in the right way?

With the Android 12 upgrade, this settings menu became enormously large and a huge waste of space. I mean it is highlighted when it is turned on, nevertheless many of the buttons/switches have "On" or "Off" as an additional written text. Besides this, next to the icon which is commonly used they now waste space writing a pointless explanation like "Bluetooth". By this, about 3 times the screen space is needed per option, which results in less buttons shown on more screen space. Is there a way to have the much better Android 11 design without downgrading and the resulting security issues? Thanks Remark: there is no google-pixel-5 Tag available and I cannot create it.

Oreo has reduced the number of icons in the quick settings tray from 9 to 6. Is it possible to adjust the number of icons shown, e.g. to 6 or 12? Edit: Just to clarify: I mean the layout of the drawer, e.g. 3x2 (Oreo) vs. 3x3 (Nougat) vs. 4x2 (Samsung). I don't mean the total number of icons shown, including the icons accesses by swiping left/right.
