Hi,
My galaxy S4 recently lost its capability on the upper part of the top screen, to pull down the notification bar (which is very handy, because it also gets me the whole Panel of quick actions. The workaround for this (I discovered by research), is that when the screen is in rotated mode, and only then (for whatever reason), can I pull down the notification bar. But it's annoying & cumbersome have to fire up an app and then hold the phone sideways just to pull down that bar.
At the moment I'm just living with this, not fixing it, and SO:
1) I find myself making a lot of widget-shortcuts to various settings categories, (but there aren't enough and they often aren't granular enough)
2) I want to see if there is a shortcut I can put to the Notification panel itself. Not directly via an android home screen widget, I know, but any other creative idea/hack? I want to tap something once on my home screen and somehow see notiofications and/or the Panel of all those settings.
