Quick Settings
Tested version: 1.9.2
Latest version: 1.9.9.7
Requires Android: from 1.6

Summary
Ever since Android 1.6 came out, most of your phone’s settings can be adjusted directly from the desktop using widgets. Of course, not everyone has had the chance to get used to Android ‘Donut’ 1.6. Since not all settings can be quickly adjusted using the built-in widgets, some of you may find Quick Settings very useful. Find out how to better organize your phone in this test report.
Features & Use
Section rating:
Quick Settings offers you access to all your most important system settings, all within a single app:
- Ringer Mode
- Wi-Fi
- GPS receiver
- Screen timeout
- Volume control
- Lock pattern
- Auto rotation
- Bluetooth
- Network data
- Auto-sync data
- Airplane mode
On top of all that, your current memory status and battery life are displayed at the top of the screen. Last but not least, you have the option of adjusting the screen brightness at the top. On the main screen you’ll find that most options have a small on/off button to the right of them (turning WiFi or GPS receiver on/off). Depending on the particular settings, the app sometimes redirects you directly to your Android options, at least in the case of WiFi settings. Unfortunately, you cannot create customized profiles with a specific set of settings using Quick Settings.
Screen & Controls
Section rating:
On the main screen you’ll find that most options have a small on/off button to the right of them (e.g. turning WiFi or GPS receiver on/off). Depending on the particular settings, the app sometimes redirects you directly to your Android options, at least in the case of WiFi settings.
You can select between the following ringer modes:
- Silent
- Vibration only
- Sound only
- Sound & Vibration
Volume control lets you adjust:
- Ringer volume
- Notification volume
- Media volume
- Alarm volume
- Voice call volume
- System volume
Adjusting the screen brightness is made simple and practical. Using an adjustable bar you can set your brightness in increments anywhere from zero to 100.
Bottom Line:
Quick Settings gives you easy instant access to all of your most important system settings. Before Android 1.6. and its long-awaited widgets, Toggle Settings was my favorite Android tool. Unfortunately, Toggle Settings constantly runs in background mode. Now with Quick Settings I no longer have to worry about depleting my battery life.
Speed & Stability
Section rating:
Quick Settings runs efficiently and without any problems or crashes.
Price/Performance Ratio
Section rating:
Quick Settings can be downloaded for free from the Android Market.

Pretty Good Was looking for an app that sets all the toggles in the notification bar but this works also. Like the dialog popup with the search button instead of the pull down. Could access toggles even when notification not visible. Everything essential for me worked so not complaining.

Fantastic Tool Extremely useful, adds much needed access to important functionality.

Still working htc amaze Love this app even with phone shortcuts built in. Worked on Motorola Defy and now on HTC Amaze.

Makes Android appealing! One of the things that constantly annoys me on Android are the sub par quality apps. Mobile hotspot saved me from further lambasting Android. Although I think its disabled on some other phones...

Does not work Well the app works but the hotspot feature does not work. Maybe my carrier.

This app is so perfect, I want to cry. I don't even need the paid version after this but I'm buying anyway for support. The best for me hands down. An

Great app Add to swipe pad for immediate access to settings anytime from anywhere. Please fix network access.. won't allow access to menu options for turning 3G off and on

Great app.. I love that you can choose to have it in the task bar all the time making it easy to turn on or off WiFi or blue tooth as well as all other options while in a program without needing to close out of an app just to make those type of system changes.
