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.

Has anyone found a hotspot toggle that works reliably? Neither Power Toggles nor Widgetsoid are able to turn it on, seemingly because the phone needs to verify the service. They can turn it off ok. It is one of the little annoyances that seem to really bother me. Once in a while I saw it turn on successfully but usually I have to go into settings.
I like Power Toggles design and features but I'd jump ship for this toggle. I'd prefer a widget that allowed multiple toggles on a bar style set up, but a stand alone widget could work

Thanks for the recommendation.
Tried it, but it doesn't work as I hoped. It is primarily a shortcut to the settings menu. I am seeking a one touch hotspot widget, like Power Toggles and Widgetsoid were on my last Android phones. With previous phones I could have a switch that turned hotspot on and off without entering settings; I rarely used the setting menu, as I should be able to access the most frequent things like brightness, hotspot, and sound without going into the menus.
Since NO play store toggles seem to work I turned to Tasker. I've been using Tasker on and off since it came out. Usually for simple tasks like this toggle. However I cannot get Tasker to do it either. The toggle seems to work to switch the setting but the authorization delay before the phone turns it on seems to mess it up.
Any ideas?
+1 would luv a solution.

If you're rooted, you can get the stock touchwiz hotspot toggle back (that should be in with the quick toggles on the notification pane) with a little digging.
This is the thread I went to to get the mobile data toggle back, but the same works for the hotspot toggle:

Basically you need to get sqlite and use it to modify values in your settings.db file. Follow his instructions, but instead of adding MobileData; add WiFiHotspot; (case sensitive and don't forget the semicolon)

That's buggy as well. It works great for data and the other toggles work great as well, just not the hotspot. That's probably why AT&T disabled the toggle from original firmware. The toggle was actually there when I only flashed the AP file from the firmware, but disappeared after the other files were flashed.
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
OK, first off I just want to say thanks for the help. I usually can figure the problem out without having to bug anyone.
So my problem has to do with the quick settings on my htc one (m7) running viperone 9.0.0. When I installed extended settings it brought all my quick setting tiles to my notification area (I'm use to that, usually I'm able to take it back to normal). I've tried to set the tiles how I've wanted them but it never seems to work.
In the status bar settings in xtended settings app you have settings panel options I click it and there are 3 options; disable, tile quick settings, and htc quick settings. The disabled option is the only thing that will work.
Even when I tap the edit quick settings from my notification area still nothing will change.

Currently it takes a swipe and 4 taps to turn data on from the tile. A swipe down on notification, tap on data tile, tap data switch and two back buttons return you to yr app. Would be great if the tile was an on and off switch. Has anyone a way around this i wonder ?
I would like to know that too.
I have tried some custom quick tiles app which require root but they work sometimes only and result in battery drain due to wakelocks from android system.
Maybe power toggles from the play store. And run it as a widget.

Notification Toggles
Using third party notification tiles, comment 2 covers that. Just a matter of identifying which system app is responsible for quick tiles and someone who writes code tinkering with that app. Has anyone done it yet. I'd be surprised not as this little thing is kinda crazy....
