Hello
i've been using my Honor 8x for 24h and i haven't been able to figure out a way to enable/disable Wifi or the flashlight or Hotspot or just recent notifications without unlocking the phone first.
It is really annoying and blocking.
On my previous phones for examples, after turning on my bluetooth headset, i just had to enable bluetooth from the quick-access section on top of the notification menu to let them be paired again together.
Can someone tell me if it is just a setting in the security settings section or if the phone really doesn't allow this ?
Thanks a lot
Try sliding from down to up while the lock screen is on, it'll show you torch and other useful shortcuts. And as for WiFi, BT or mobile data toggle switches enable show on lock screen in settings, that'll help you! [emoji1360]

Can I answer the call other way than sliding the bar to the right? or can I disable the lock screen?
Is because when somebody calls, sometimes the slide bar looks like does not answer and google voice shows as a miss call, so it is not answering. That is way I want to try disabling the lock screen if that is the problem.
I installed the last update, 198-6 and rooted.
Thanks

To disable the lock screen: Press Menu at the home screen. > Select Location and Security > Under Security, select Change Screen Lock > enter your current pattern/pin/password > select NONE
I don't use patterns to unlock my screen, I am talking about the all unlock program.

I use an app called power control to enable/disable the lock screen through a desktop widget, the app has a bunch of settings, most of which work as they should. The only 2 I have found that don't work right are the mobile network and the 4g controls.

Hi. Recent, happy convert to CM7.1 on my Nexus One.
Question, though. I use Widgetsoid, and now that I'm root, I'm using the root data toggle method. This works, but the widget provides no feedback about what state you're in. So when I click it, I need to wait several seconds until the notification bar icon appears (or disappears) to find out if the click took. Also, If I have WIFI up, the cell data notification icon goes away, so I don't know whether cell data is also enabled. Since I routinely turn off data to preserve the battery when I'm not using it, this is a frequent issue.
So. Is there a way to get Widgetsoid to light up the data toggle widget when data is enabled? Doesn't seem to be - which is funny, because I used to use the old 2g/3g toggle, which did light up to indicate whether data was enabled, even though the widget itself was only a shortcut to the data settings.
Or... is there another widget that works the way I want?
This very annoying removal of the quick toggle I am trying to find a workaround, everytime there is a new android version I have to fight with feature removals.
I thought this would be simple using tasker but in tasker the 2g/3g mobile data toggle function is red, marked as unavailable on my device.
It can still be toggled but only manually navigating deep inside the settings menu. It seems tho a quick toggle API function is removed.
Any app/tasker guide to work around this? as I suspect this can still be done via tasker but instead having to make it call the menu function instead.
If someone steals your phone, they will immediately turn off wifi/data services and then turn off cellphone
I've just realized I can do both without needing to unlock. In case of a theft I will be unable to use the android device options to clear the phone memory.
Do you know if there is any option to block these functions while locked? I can't find it anywhere.
Unfortunately there is no option to block access to quick tiles while on lockscreen. It's one of least secure phone which I had since few years, even if they claim differently.
The solution I'm using is:
Use app called Shortcutter which let you put wifi icon in quick tiles and block access to it while on lockscreen. Not all options works as should but it's one solution.
I disabled all tiles eg. gps, airplane mode from quick tiles as I'm not using them (gps, data always on)
Hope it will help
Thank you for pointing this out, I would take those options off the tiles and use them from the settings menu.
Just extra precaution in case you lose or someone steals your phone.
Does someone know how android 12 custom Roms behave in this topic?
GrapheneOS asks you to unlock the phone when you press the Airplane mode tile, for example.
protonaosp also asks you to unlock the phone before disabling internet
Thanks for both replys! Now I have an other reason to try GrapheneOS
What iv done I didn't notice it tipp this post iv removed the settings from the tile qmd then did a shortcut on home screen to settings then internet works ok that way can confirm it's the same on a pixel 6 pro and a pixel 4a to
It looks like all custom roms support this security on lockscreen. I'm using Evolution X rom (unfortunately discontinued at this moment for pixel 6/6pro).
Hello,
I don't know if this is a bug, a "feature" or just my device but would anyone be able to check their "Call & Text on other devices" Quick Panel icon to see if it toggles the feature on or off and let me know? Mine takes me to the settings. I used to have it enabled all the time on my phone and I would toggle it on the tablet as required. That way I get to enable it only when I need to use it on the tablet.
Since migrating to my S23 U from my S22 U and updating my tablet to One UI 5.1, the option now takes me to the settings page instead of simply toggling the feature. This is the case on both the phone and the tablet (S8 +) so I think it's either a bug or a "feature"
Thanks in advance
I don't have a S23u, but a S22u and tab s8 ultra...my s22u was setup with call & text with the tabs s8ultra. worked like a charm. My s22u screen broke and sent in for repairs. I used an old s9+ lying around. For some reason it asked me to change to s9+ for call & text. I ignored the pop up...when I got my s22u back call & text was disabled. When opening call & text I had to re-register/configure my s22u for call & text as it automatically changed it to my s9+, although it never worked on s9+. After changing settings it worked on s22u and tab s8u. re-register/configure call & text

Yes, the same. The icon is not activated (disabled) although the function itself is enabled. When pressed, it jumps to the Settings of this function, where Calls on other devices and Messages on other devices are now separated. In Calls, my GW5Pro watch and in Messages - empty!
Google messages has this bug that keeps any notice below sms screen flickering forever.
Looks like they modified the Quick Panel icon to take you to the settings so that you can toggle individual options i.e. call and/or text on other devices. I can see how that could be useful but I really miss the ability to simply keep the feature "on" on the phone and toggle it on/off on the tablet as required.
I would have preferred two icons one to toggle calls and one to toggle texts if they wanted to give users the option instead of the extra steps especially since it's called the Quick Panel for a reason lol
Thanks for looking guys. I really appreciate it
