One of the features that most has me excited about HTC Sense 3.0 is the ability to turn Wi-Fi and other features on or off from the Notification drop-down menu. Of course, I’ve already done this on Samsung Touchwiz phones I’ve briefly used and it’s a feature built into many custom ROM’s, including CyanogenMod.
But what if you want to toggle settings without rooting your phone? Well, that’s when you download an app called Notification Toggle. As the name implies, this allows you to toggle (turn on or off) common Android phone settings like Bluetooth, Brightness, Flashlight, Flight Mode, Rotation, Sound/Silent/Vibration, and Wi-Fi. Rather than press Menu > Settings from the home screen and dig through the list of options, Notification Toggle provides a one-tap solution to flip the switch on certain features.
Sadly, other features like 4G and GPS cannot be toggled directly; however, you will get shortcuts to the settings page. While Sense, Touchwiz, and CM allow you to see 4 or more icons that can quickly be tapped, Notification Toggle has a long list of shortcuts that need to be scrolled to access them all. There is a way to set-up a horizontal group of shortcuts using the “All in one” option, but the large icons are ugly and take up space.
Notification Toggle isn’t a perfect solution for anyone looking to get quick access to their settings. However, it can be exactly what the user ordered if someone needs only to quickly get to one or two common functions like Wi-Fi and screen rotation. Most importantly, it does not require the phone to be rooted. Download the app for free and see if this app turns you on or off as well as it does functions.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
your own merchandise is one way of…
implementing non advertising strategy to monetize your blog. you can start an online business by blogging about your own products. you can also ask for donations. this is hard to do but still possible. another way is to sell your posting…
a great place to gather information. no…
one wants to read a blog that is badly researched and it’s best to know what you are talking about, look at other blogs on the topic of your choice and see how they have written it, do not copy them…
Hello, this weekend is good designed for me, as this occasion i
am reading this wonderful informative piece of

Link exchange is nothing else however it is only placing the other person’s webpage link on your page at proper place and other person will also do same in support of you.
My spouse and I stumbled over here by a different
website and thought I might as well check things out.
I like what I see so i am just following you.
Look forward to looking over your web page for a second time.
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which
makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit
more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Superb work!
