I love the quick settings buttons in the notification bar as you can control your device faster. All the basic controls are there and with one touch you can open and close the Wi-Fi, close the Volume button etc.
I love Samsung and LG smartphones that have these options and this is one of the main disadvantages of HTC devices.
So to open the Wi-Fi in Samsung Galaxy S5 you need only to swype down the notification bar and press the Wi-Fi button.
If you want to do the same with HTC One M8, you need to go to the settings, find the Wi-Fi in the huge menu and then select the Wi-Fi and then turn it off.
So it’s a huge advantage to have the quick settings panel with all these quick options. Now let’s see what you can do with the quick setting panel.
