"Switch the most usual Android settings with just a few taps"
Reviewed by: Peter Warrior / Aug 08, 2011
With the same spirit as Quick Battery, Sergej Shafarenka developed and has kept updated Quicker, the paid version of 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.
In addition to these and those features included in Quick Settings, Quicker allows to add up to three scrollable screens for your settings and some storage and battery status info. Useful if you have to play around with your device all day long.
If you want to test the essential features of Quicker, you can check Quick Settings for free before.

***) LED flashlight might not be compatible to some phones
FAQ:
- Can Quicker launch after phone restart? Yes, just install it to the phone memory (not SD card)
- Why Brightness switch does not work? If you have a SwipePad running, then it can interfere with this function on Android 4.0 or higher devices.
NOTE 1: Although Quicker does its best to switch Mobile Data, GPS and WiFi Hotspot with a single click, there are devices / Android versions where these settings cannot be switched directly. In such cases shortcuts to stock settings are available only.
NOTE 2:
Why no direct switch? Because Android security model does not allow installed applications to change secure system parameters. This is done to protect users from malicious application that can misuse those parameters otherwise.

Would love if it automatically would start up as soon as the phone reboots. Keep forgetting to turn it back on, please add that feature.

Great software for each Android device. Pretty flexible and configurable. Looking forward to see other great features. Screen dimmer is a good new one, especially useful for reading at night.

Liked the origonal quick settings. These "tile" type ui's SUCK THE MOLDY ONE. Just paid to support dev. This is really clunky.

I have always used quicker for every smart phone I've owned. And over the years I think a few minor improvements are needed. But without them it'd still a great app. Like the transitions between the screens are too slow. It'd be great if you could have co
