"Switch the most usual Android settings with a just few taps"

Reviewed by: Peter Warrior / Aug 08, 2011

Quick Settings is an easy app to access some key controls.

With the same spirit as Quick Battery, Sergej Shafarenka developed and has kept updated Quick Settings. It's one of those simple apps that tries to make our life easier by having the most important sliders and switchers together.

With just a couple of taps you can change your volume, wifi and GPS settings. Well, you're probably thinking to yourself that your phone can already do that without any third party app, and it'd be true. Quick settings just try to save you some taps or the trouble to look for wherever every option could be. To launch the app, long-press the search button or look for a shortcut in your status bar. Quick Settings is customizable through the Menu button if you need to add more options.

This app's for free. If you feel like it isn't too much or if you want to collaborate with its developer, try Quicker instead.

Developer's original description available here
This app provides quick access to system settings via a single configurable view. Since 2009 this app has been saving time to millions of its users. Now we have new apps for you.

For adding settings to the status bar try Settings Extended: http://goo.gl/QfjEM
For Android 4.0 and higher try Quicker: http://goo.gl/DHg7m

* Mobile Data (APN) switch might not work (or may even break your Internet settings) while working with APN of some mobile network operators. Use it on your own risk. Not supported since Android 4.0 due to security restriction.

    Lately it seems that I can't set the volumes. When I try to set them and set the button, it won't confirm the new volumes.

    Can you add shutdown and reboot options. And when sliding down from rights to down direct open quick settings.
