Galaxy S5: Where is the 'settings' widget

[johnner1999]

I use to use multiple settings widgets on a panel to show data, battery and memory... but can't find it in the widgets.

Re: Where is the 'settings' widget

Swipe down from the top of the screen. This will expose a gear widget at the top-right of the screen.

That's just accesses the settings page. I'm referring to the widgets section.

Are you referring to the list of available widgets? Press and hold the "recent" button (lower left corner) to get Home Screen Options and from there the Widgets collection.

Yes I am.... but I don't see the settings widget listed any longer.

pinch the screen as if you were going to delete a page and its at the bottom there!!

Thanks this worked. Rather strange to put it there but I appreciate your help.

You are talking about the settings gear in the widgets section and then when you place it on the screen, you can choose display, data, battery, sound, etc.. All the settings, correct?
That went away with 4.4.2. I used it on my Note 3 when I had 4.4.1 and it was gone with the next update.

The "Usage Meter" in the app drawer can be put on the home screen and it has data, battery and apps in there.

Thanks! I agree, it is odd to place the widget page there. I would not think to pinch the screen to get widgets, only to delete pages.

On a Note 5 I would like to create a settings widget to quick-change the location power-hungry GPS to the power-saving setting, or vice-versa, but there doesn't seem to be a Settings widget available. Help?
