Quick settings effing sucks - Nexus 4 General

Google dropped the ball on this one. First, no gps button. Second, the buttons that do exist only take you to a menu (ie, the wifi menu) from where you can actually turn things on or off. Also, apparently no ability to customize whats in the quick settings.
With all the great implementations of quick settings available in both custom roms and widgets, google had a lot of great ideas from which it could have modeled its own quick settings, but somehow it managed to put out this worthless piece of garbage. I think most people will have to keep using widgetsoid or notification toggle and google's quick setting will almost never be used. What a disgrace.

Another thread on how bad quick settings sucks? Link? If so my bad.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

The kind of people who want to badly customize it, is also the kind of people who do not need settings to do it.
I'm fine with it, if anything it'll probably only take the CM team a few minutes to change the functionality of it.

I agree. If anything, it gives a new platform/base for CM or other developers to build upon and a pretty spiffy one at that. I think it's a great first release for a feature. Just because you can see the future of it in current roms or inherently tell where it's going doesn't mean it shouldn't be a welcomed improvement. Could they have made it better? Of course, but that's not a reason to overreact and call it a "disgrace".

Yeah, I don't know what they're thinking. The buttons should obviously be toggles for quickly turning things on and off, not shortcuts to various settings menus. That's what the regular settings button in the notification shade is for. I was really excited when I first heard about this feature, since I expected Google to do the logical thing and put a bunch of useful toggles in there, but what they've ended up doing seems pretty pointless to me.

A great first release? I think it's a horrid first release. It takes as many clicks to turn wifi on or off in this implementation as it does under the current ics or jelly bean 4.1 without the so-called quick settings. Moreover, this is hardly a new feature. It has been around in roms and widgets literally for years. People want one-touch access to the most commonly used settings, and this so-called quick settings fails to provide that. And who the heck made the decision not to put gps in there?
Even as a first release, Google should have surveyed what is currently out there and tried to make its implementation at least as useful. I think it utterly failed. If you don't, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Thank you... I am not sure how anyone could disagree. Yeah, the two fingers to swipe down is cool, and maybe people think it looks nifty, but functionality is nearly nonexistent. And isn't functionality what android users demand first and foremost? If I want a beautiful but useless user interface, I'll look to apple.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Do like me, ignore them and hope CM will keep what they are doing best...

I liked the idea of swiping twice to bring a second notification shade down. But yeah, them just linking to settings pages sucks a little. The ideal setting is to tap to toggle or hold to dive in and change settings in detail.

Ever since I found about about most settings just directing you to the appropriate settings menu, I was also disappointed.
The only proper toggle I think there is brightness, it brings up a little popup in the middle of the screen with a slider.

google's probably going to update it soon

Keep your opinions in here
Google ******* fails again...

[App] NoLED - Use the AMOLED screen for incoming notifications (Crosspost from I9000)

The dev has released more updates, currently on version 0.6. Check it out, the app got a whole lot cooler, and is in pretty active development now!
There's a dev in the I9000 forums working on using the AMOLED screen to display notifications. Currently it's displayed as a red dot in the top left corner of the screen. It's in an early stage, but it works on my Captivate.
Read the thread here for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
The dev is apparently going on vacation soon, and won't be working on it for a while, so any potential developers here that know how to implement something like this, take note!
Edit: I don't take responsibility for the work on this app at all; just posting here because it works on the Captivate and is an awesome idea.
Sweet this is something exactly what I was looking for!
Hope he can make use of the bottom 4 buttons or something.
Edit: I just read there are no API's to light up the capacitive buttons
But the project so far looks amazing. I'll have to give it a run when I get off of work.
works! sideloaded this thing right into my Captivate easier than rooting (and that was possibly the easiest thing I've done customizing a phone in the past!)
thanks! was definitely missing my notification LED from my last two WinMo phones....
I have got to find out how to side load apps.
Install the Android sdk, add the tools directory to the system PATH, install Samsung drivers to your computer if its 64 bit Windows you need 64 bit drivers, open a command prompt, type "adb install blahblah.apk"... that's pretty much it... obviously your current working directory needs to be the same as the apk file.

Well, it's still better than nothing. The app is still very much a work-in-progress, and hopefully the dev makes some good progress on it soon.
I've been trying to learn how to write Android apps, since the dev won't be around for a while to work on it, but all I've accomplished is realizing how incompetent I am in Java, heh.
When i first saw this app the word pixel burnout came to mind. But the dev says the red square moves around on the screen to prevent that so it might just end up being useful. I think samsung and google need to give us an api to use the menu keys since they didn't provide us with a notification light.

How Google screwed up quick settings ...

So, quick toggles for WiFi, Bluetooth, data... Most manufacturers have had them for YEARS : Samsung, HTC, LG and now Google finally decides to include them in stock Android but it seems like a half baked effort
They're not really quick toggles, more like shortcuts, instead of turning WiFi on you're redirected to the WiFi settings, the same happens with Bluetooth and the rest of the pack, also what is the purpose of having my picture on quick settings? Maybe on the tablets where you have multiple user support but on the phone?
Also the toggles are not customizable, do you guy enjoy this toggles?
I think they have a lot of potential but until android 5 arrives I hope cm 10.1 or aokp takes care of this broken toggles

It could be useful to access settings if you need, for example, to switch WiFi quickly. I found using a toggle widget that came with it - pretty useful.
I do like the layout and two finger swipe method. If they were toggles and not shortcuts then I'd prefer it to the typical layout with touchwiz/sense. I'm sure a custom rom in the future will change this .

I actually really like them. I think they can definitely be improved, but every feature starts somewhere, right? I use the WiFi shortcut frequently to get into the settings rather than just toggle. The battery shortcut is really useful too I think. Maybe in later versions we can customize them but I think its a great starting point.
And no, I don't know what the self contact card is good for yet. Maybe someone can figure out a use! =P

I know molesarecoming from the paranoid android thread for the Galaxy Nexus said they turned the quick settings into toggles, but I don't have a Gnex to test it on and he quickly redacted the build because it was to buggy. So as others said, I'm sure it'll be one of the first features in most custom Roms.

My main beef about the toggles is the inconsistency between phone and tablet. Two fingers for a phone but a swipe on the right side of the screen for tablets.
So many times I've had to catch myself when going from N4 to N7.
They've pushed the hybrid UI on to the tablets for the sake of consistency but then they do something like this.
I happen to enjoy these toggles very much.

these are the best fricking toggles that exist on planet earth, you just dont know it yet. they created clever, extendable toggles that can be anything. a developer can put them into toggle/longpress-settings mode easily, aaronpoweruser's already done it - but rather think of how they will evolve. im blown away by the fact that some of them are intelligent, that is - they are added automatically when they are relevant (timer, alarm, gps, etc.). its such a cool idea, combine that with API support and you'll not only unclutter an abused notification tray but you'll also make room for alot of possibilities. and my goodness they look absolutely stunning.
never quite understood whats the big deal about cm's toggles. they are just a bunch of dead images chained together. i see nothing in there, but good that google took inspiration from that and brought it a step further - although the first implementation is sure not finished as we all can see.
I agree, hopefully aokp makes a rom soon .
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Tap/hold Toggle/Visit would be the better implementation but it's a good beginning.
What I don't like it's the way of switching between notifications and settings on the phones. The switching mode on the tablets is much better and I want to have it on the phones to.
I can't remember that I've ever used my phone with two hands, so the two finger method isn't a real solution for me.
Pull down left, enter notifications
Pull down right, enter quick- settings
(Like on the tablets)That would be great!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Agree with the OP completely. Sad thing is, Google had dozens of examples of GOOD quick settings toggles to look at and copy, yet it somehow managed to produce this POS quick settings menu. Custom ROMs and widgets have had superior quick settings options literally for years. How Google managed to screw this one up is beyond me. Disgraceful.

While agree it's not the end of the world, it's a complaint I see often here in kernel and ROM threads. While a lot of it is due to wonky behavior due to OC (either CPU or GPU), it's really just exacerbating an issue that is already present.
Besides, UI bugs are some of the most prevalent and immediately noticeable to more "common" end users. While functionally it's not debilitating, it's an aesthetic scar that doesn't need to be there.

Hmmm.. So I assume it doesn't matter that I need exactly 15 seconds everytime I get a notification to pull down the status bar, caused by flipbacks. Okay I'm like 1000% sure Google noticed it anyway, cause its on most devices, also 100% stock ones (like me) so...

Thanks OP, have added my star.
I had not noticed this problem but I was intrigued.
I could not duplicate the problem, but I am using Apex launcher, not the stock launcher. Does the problem occur in all launchers? Also I am not using the stock ROM.
I wonder if this problem happens with only some units, or perhaps it relates to those user's expectations. Maybe they expect their device to react more quickly than it is able to.
Far be it for me to be dismissive of people's satisfaction with their devices, but that bug-report thread has a lot of problems. It contains over-reaching claims and supposed knowledge of the problem's causes and solutions.
Again, I don't write off these people's unhappiness but I personally would not star that issue.
i too have this problem when on stock rom..now on PA beta 9 with m-kernel, the problem still exist...and it's very annoying...i even thought there was a problem with my touch screen panel and sent it to asus for repair but when i got it back, the same problem still remains..
Not starring because it does not bother me.
Life has too many other issues to worry about having to occasionally re-swipe.
Now pop-up ads in the Yahoo app could get me started...

Well over 500 people have voted to say they have a shonky screen, either one fault, several or all listed.
If Asus & Google don't by now know that there is a serious problem with QC of the actual screen and with the build quality then no amount of petitioning will work.
I noticed this issue minutes after pulling this thing out of the box, this might not bother you people who casually use their tablets, but top those of us who have been using android since the G1 notice this. It bothers me so much that I am considering taking this junk back and using the money to get a real tablet from Samsung.
This issue is so annoying to me, I not only notice it on the stock launcher, but also Nova and Apex. Now, the launcher I can deal with, but where I becomes a deal breaker for me is the browser, whether it's chrome or the stock browser in CM10. Trying to scroll around the OS that requires some flicking reminds me of trying to flick scroll on a resistive touch screen, I think that best describes the issue.
I just wanna know if it's fixable through a software update or a hardware problem, cause if it's the latter, this thing is going back, and that's too bad because it was a Santa gift, so I'll have some explaining to do.......

As I stated (not in precise terms sorry) in the OP, it would be a mistake to think that xda threads are the first place companies like Google and Asus check to see what issues people are having. They have issue and bug trackers for a reason. The universe does not revolve around our little community.
Also, this issue pertains to the general consensus that touch screen issues (like bounce back) have become exacerbated on 4.2 and above. Not anything regarding physical QC issues (though, to be fair, may very well be the root cause, but that is an entirely different issue; the fact of the matter remains that anecdotally it appears the touchscreen responded better on 4.1.2)
And besides, I'm just looking out for the well being of this device's future. Reporting bugs on bug trackers is important to these developers.

Yea the notification bar is better on 4.2.2, but the launcher still does it, nova prime does it too, and even when on dolphin or boat browser sometimes when you flick it will scroll nicely & sometimes a flick wont move the page much at all, weird and annoying, would be a much better experience if it was fixed!

I don't know what else it could be. Others with different devices hold their connection from the same location while mine drops. Whatever the case, it's getting old.

That's probably the only practical reason.
tommason1968,
I know exactly what you are talking about! I had a thread complaining about the same thing. Took my phone into the Sprint store and it failed "once" a test and they gave me a new phone and the exact same thing happens to my current phone. Can't go down the street (or even sometimes sitting still) and I lose data connection. Listen to streaming radio on Tune-In and it cuts out constantly. Used the Scout (Telenav) GPS and always got "There is no cell phone coverage / Now there is cell phone coverage" during a trip to Wisconsin and Mississippi this month.
Heard the excuse that the towers are being upgraded and that is the reason service is so poor. Almost tempted to say well put that in writing so that I can go to another wireless company without an ETF.
Came from the HTC LTE and never had so many drop outs. Yes, there were marginal spots that I would lose service, but in the past I have made it to Wisconsin and back without dropping service once not to mention 50 - 100 times, so like you think it is directly related to the phone. When you take the phone into the Sprint store, they are like well nothing what we can do, or well that is a lot of work and doubt we will find something. It is tempted to reactive my old HTC LTE and see how it does because I know where the marginal areas are at and the areas that are not marginal that I still lose connectivity on a constant basis with my HTC One.
Just wonder if like the first I-phone made of solid shell, that the metal casing isn't affecting how well the phone does in the terms of the ability to connect and stay connected to the cell towers.

I for one am pretty stoked about this update. It will include everything that I like in aosp plus it will have IR.

EQS and percentage are already available on Viper and HTC will not incorporate lock screen widgets.

That the EQS included with Viper looks hideous to some of us?
Just ribbing you, but seriously-- I cannot stand how it looks in the slightest. Native quick toggles are also one less app needed to replicate functionality, which is nice if you're trying to keep things slim.

Yeah. I think that the EQS are stupid looking too. Just wanted to make sure it was known that most of these features already exist in some form. I love the Holo style EQS, though. In the meantime, I'm using Floating toucher. Its pretty cool.
I'm more excited about the camera improvements. The number of pictures out of focus is too damn high!
I expect that it will be the only update released for this phone.

No way. This is a flagship device that's barely 4 months old. Support has to be for at least a year.

Good one
I'd be willing to guess the 4.2.2 delay is a Sprint issue more than an HTC one.
I personally am not even excited about the 4.2.2 update anymore, due to how long it's taken and now that 4.3 is out.

I'm not excited about either one. I have a Nexus 7 with 4.3 on it and it doesn't look/feel much different from when I used CM on my LTE. There just isn't anything to really worry about other than the kernel.

[Tip] Coping with new notification quick settings

Hello,
Some (most?) of us dislike the new layout of the quick settings, just thought I'd share a tip I discovered by accident.
If you place your thumb on the LEFT of the bar and hold it for 1 second, the bar will appear for a bit. drag it down and you'll get your notifications. if you do the same on the RIGHT you'll get quick settings. it's a great way to avoid an extra keypress or using two fingers to swipe down (who thought that would be a good idea?!)

This has already been talked about.
Personally I really like the new style, I imagine there are a lot of people that do, they just don't shout as loud as those that complain.

I don't dislike it really, I'm just used to the old way. I'm sure it'll grow on me with time.

Yes, that's true.
It always takes people time to get used to change, but if we didn't have it we would still be playing snake on a nokia 7730
I love the new style, the old one was horrible(a little more practical though)
