New feature: quick settings?

MIRKUZ74 — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:58:55 GMT

Hi Xperia people!

I was just wondering... as I see in the changelog for the new update 4.4.4

– Quick settings – customise your settings to access what you need quickest

What is the difference now? I can't seem to find where is the "new thing".

Any help? Thank you and cheers!

@srv1 That's right, the flash light is new.

And since you guys are talking about it, if you have not noticed yet you can drag down the notification field and swipe left or right (depending on which tab you are at) to change between Notifications / Quick settings. Just a tip.

Flash light when rotating screen

Hi,

I noticed a bug. If the FlashLight is activated by Quicksettings, the FlashLight lights, but if you rotate the phone with an application that follows the rotation of the phone (i.e. not the Home), it automatically turns off.

I tried on a Z3 Compact and the problem does not appear.

A swipe to choose is a great thing, I was missing that before. Also choosing setting doesn't blow you to settings menu, just a bar below which is much easier to operate. Good work on that

agree, swype is much more convenient, well done Sony.

Now everything is easier than before, now U can personalize your shortcuts in the same place where u put your finger to activate wifi for example, instead to go into settings - ecc ecc and move up & down your prefered shortcuts.

Now is easier, but I think that quick setting and notification shoul be together and not separately ...

I like the swype option but I have a suggestion on how to improve this even further:

Depending on where you start to drag down (upper left or upper right corner) you should first see Notifications or Quick settings.

How about that?
