Power control widget

[johnnyshinta]

Anyone use it? With the settings menu so conveniently located in the notification bar do you really need it?

 

[Beyond Fire]

only use it if the current ROM im using does not have those settings in the notification bar

I use a notification widget so I can change brightness or put it in airplane mode, mostly.

I didnt realize it had that there hah!

So I tapped it, and my phone froze and rebooted.

okay... take two.....



... okay worked that time.


Yeah, I will still use the power control widget. Its still slightly quicker for me to slide one home screen over and tap on what I need to power on/off.

I wish there was something you could press up top to make the screen shade scroll back up.

 

[johnnyshinta]

I use it just because its easier to get to my most used functions. Especially brightness and and GPS, which are a pain to get to otherwise.

I've been using the Power Control Widget ever since it came out.

Easier for me to swipe across the bottom of the big screen than to reach up to the top of the big screen to pull down the drawer and tap the settings key.

I had a power control widget that lived in the drop down notification bar, and I cannot remember the name of the app. Anyone know what I am taking about?

I like it for airplane mode, brightness adjustments and wifi on/off.

Thanks in advance.

 

[samkatz]

are you all referring to a stock widget or one from the app store? There are quite a few..

You may be referring to Widgetsoid.

Is there a way to customize the power control widget that comes with the phone?

There isn't a unified Power Control within the Settings app, but the Settings app allows you to control all of the things that you can toggle with Power Control (Wifi On/Off and Bluetooth On/Off are the first two things in Settings, and elsewhere you can toggle location services, screen brightness, etc.)

Thats when I long press on an empty spot on any homescreen
