Second Screen shortcut choices? Really Limited to 5?

[Thomas Bjornsen]

Greetings, 1st post here - less than a 12 hour new owner of a V-20...
Already used a ton of info from the forums to help in setting my phone up, Thanks!
Question Is...
Is it really possible that I only have 5 choices as to the quick tools I see up in the second screen?
Seems I can only choose 5 of the following 6; Sound, WiFi, Bluetooth, Camera, Flashlight, and Capture.
No Way to choose from some of the other Quick Tools?

All Help Much Appreciated in Advance,
Thanks,
TjB

If you take a look at https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=811819 it's apparently possible to have lots of other stuff there.

I think Thomas is talking about the "Quick Tools" bar which is the one that shows when the screen is off, not the "App Shortcuts" bar that shows when the screen is on.

2nd screen isn't all that great unfortunately.

You can change and drag other apps onto the 2nd screen but only for the apps shortcut which is only accessable when the screen is turned on. There's only the quick tools option for when screen is turned off, and there's limited options.

Unfortunately the 2nd screen is very limited with options. I doubt they will release an update with new options, maybe if only enough people bug them about it. They're probably too busy with the next V30. The V20 is still a great phone however.

It didn't help sales when so many reviewers called it ugly or blah looking. I think it is a damn handsome looking phone. Nice metal on the top, bottom and back. Nice flat 16/9 ratio screen. No ugly half glass half metal back. No huge bezels. No hard to hold curved edges. Doesn't break if you drop it on the couch. Reviewers killed this phone imo.

Thanks! Not having the device yet (was originally investigating as a replacement for my daughter's Nexus 5X; since her Mom went off and got her an iPhone 7 I'm now looking at it as a replacement for my Nexus 6P) I was unaware of the different behavior of the 2nd screen based on whether the main screen is on/off.

Has anyone on XDA done any development that's targeted at the 2nd screen functionality?

Thanks GSDer, I'll check that link out.
And no, I was not speaking about when the phone was off, I want to modify what Quick Tools I see there (the black & white ones, not the Apps).
When I go to settings and click through the options it seems to only give you 6 choices. See my original post for the options I am offered.
Thanks again,
TjB

Agreed. They really payed attention to detail for the V20 and I personally think it looks perfect. Love the metal removable back, minimalistic look, and flat glass screen. Definitely a rugged and serious user's phone.

Ive had mine almost a day now and really liking it and mine came with a TG screen protector already installed from LG mine is a sealed box made in February 2017 Unlocked factory

Amazing the Nore 5 and the V20 use Nugat as the OS but so many different tweeks on both phones but really liking the V20 just wish it had wireless charging i bought a receiver and I guess Ill use it at night to charge and take it off in the morning.
