1.7 Quick Settings
Many android devices include the ability to activate frequently used features such
as Wi-Fi, mobile data or BT from a Quick Settings panel, accessed by dragging down
from the top of the screen at any time.
Step 1
To access the Quick Settings in Lollipop,
drag a finger down the screen and over
the status bar at the top twice. The first
swipe will just open the notification
panel. With Quick Settings open, you can
see which are enabled by those lit up in
white. Standard quick settings include
screen brightness control, Wi-Fi and BT,
airplane mode, screen auto-rotate,
flashlight and location.
You can access the Quick Settings at
any time, no matter if you have another
app open, so if you are using an app
and suddenly realize that you need to
be connected to the Wi-Fi network,
just swipe down twice from the top of
the screen and activate Wi-Fi. Swipe
the panel back up out of the way and
you can continue to use the app you
were in.
