XZ1c Pie has two separate quick settings tiles: mobile data and 4g. I've noticed a few imperfections in Sony's overlay, so wanted to ask rather than assume: what exactly changes when none/one/the other/both are switched on?

Due to my wonderful provider (KPN Mobile in The Netherlands) I have a very very poor reception at home. Causing simple telephone conversations to be cut off. They have only one solution: indoors I should use Wifi, switch off Mobile Data plus change Network Mode to GSM only.
Indeed that works, but it is crazy to do that every time I get home. It involves 11 screentaps:
settings - Wif-Fi on - back - More settings - Mobile Networks - Mobile data OFF - Network Mode - GSM Only - back - back - back.
Then, when I step outside, I have to repeat the whole process, disbaling Wi-Fi, enabling mobile data and setting Network Mode to 4G.
Would there be a widget, or is there some simple way of programming, to replace all these taps with one?
I am on Android 4.1.2, the phone is not rooted.
Both wifi and mobile data ON / OFF are on the quick settings drop down panel at the top of your screen.

Click to expand...

Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately there is no quick-setting for changing the Network Mode, and exactly that causes several needed screentaps, even via the quick-menu:
slide-down - Wif-Fi ON - long-press Mobile Data - Mobile data OFF - Network Mode - GSM Only - back.
So indeed, 7 instead of 11.
Still, it would be preferable to have a widget on the homescreen or some kind of script to replace this series of "keystrokes" with one tap ....
NFC task launcher
Tasker is another possible .

Right ... checked both Tasker and NFC Task Launcher. What I noticed is that no external program can change the Network Mode, due to rights-management in Android. Only one of the two can do that when Cyanogenmod is applied, and I am on stock.
So what i did now was place https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.softxperience.android.switchnetworktype&hl=en on the homescreen, from there it is only one extra tap to Network Mode.
What I would be looking for now, is one little app that toggles between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data.
Something like the G/3G switch, preferably a program to be put on the homescreen (not a widget), that with one tap simply toggles
Wi-Fi OFF and Mobile Data ON
Wi-Fi ON and Mobile Data OFF
So far I have not found such a thing ... every app I found strictly toggles either Wi-Fi or Mobile Data on and off, but not toggling between them.
Apparently interacting with certain settings adds them to the Quick Settings screen.
Which can be okay: I went into the "tethering & portable hotspot" setting and turned on hotspot to see if it worked. (Worked!) Then I noticed a new hotspot toggle on my quick settings. Fine. Maybe useful.
BUT... then I selected and turned on "color inversion" from the accessibility settings section. Woah. Trippy. But probably won't ever need to do that again. Except when I swipe down from the top to bring up the quick settings, I now have a "color inversion" quick setting toggle taking up valuable space and cluttering up the page.
Any thoughts on this -- specifically how to get rid of the unwanted toggle?
Just saw this -- https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6111329?hl=en"]https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6111329?hl=en -- hoping that means it will eventually remove itself from quick settings.
Hey, I have realised that on 1064/1063, if you tap the mobile network quick setting, it will open a panel right on the quick settings page.
On 1068/1069 roms, due to the possibility of having two sims with different data plans, if you tap that button it will open settings app and that stuff...
So, I was wondering if does someone know how to enable that panel on a dualsim rom, it would really usefull.
Thanks
Hey everyone
I've tried looking through all the settings
How do I get rid of the text saying ee WiFi calling?
Many thanks

Wish I knew the answer. When it's on WiFi calling, notifications are hidden behind the notch. Very irritating.
Someone must have an answer ?
I guess you can disable 'Display carrier name' in settings. Just search for it. I believe the mobile operators often add an extra 'Wifi' part to the name thus making it somewhat extra long. Not sure
about the 'Calling' part, I don't get that, instead on my phone I just get a VoWiFi symbol and the carrier name (with WiFi) scrolling over from time to time. I'm on 128.
On mine, I have two choices. It can say "EE Wi-Fi Calling" - which is far too long, or I can remove the carrier name from with Apps & Notifications > Notifications & Status Bar, but then there's no icon or anything to tell me Wi-Fi calling is available.
Previous phone (LG G5) simply showed the Wi-Fi calling icon instead. It's a bit of an annoyance, but I guess I'll have to live with it. Almost everything else about the phone is brilliant.
I just got my mother a pixel 7 for her birthday. She's just messaged me asking how to turn on data - as far as we can see there's no quick settings toggle, not even if you go into the extra tiles with the edit button. I've looked on google/xda/youtube and can't find anything. How do you turn data on and off from the quick settings, without going into the settings app and toggling it there?
You have internet tile in quick settings, it manages wifi and data both. In alternative, if you want the old style separated button, there are some ways but i think that they needs root. One way is AOSP mod for example.
