[Feature-Request] USB-Hotspot Quick Settings

[Feature-Request] USB-Hotspot Quick Settings

Please could you add USB-Tethering-Hotspot as a quick setting to Sony like Wi-Fi, Offline-Mode or Hotspot.

Reason:

I use my Smartphone as a Wifi-Adapter for my very old PC. It's possible to use USB-Tethering under

"Settings->More->Mobile Hotspot->USB-Tethering", but this is somehow very time consuming.

Could you add this as Quick-Setting even in locked screen, where you could use it faster.

I mean something like this:

1.) Smartphone is locked

2.) You swipe down and you can see Wi-FI, Bluetooth, Offline-Mode, Assistive light

3.) And if you connect the Smartphone via USB to the PC, there will be a new Quick-Setting-Icon named "USB-Tethering"

4.) If you click on it, it will give to your PC internet connection like you go to :

"Settings->More->Mobile Hotspot->USB-Tethering",

5.) You don't have to unlock you phone for this.

This already exists on Cyanogenmod 13.

Hi @Bugmenotsony,

Welcome to the community.

This feature is already available. Swipe down your quick settings and press the edit button. You can drag from several options at the top to the area in the bottom and add them to your quick settings. One of these options is Hotspot.

Once you have done that, just swipe down your quick settings and turn it on and off in the same way you would Wi-Fi.

Hi Sony,

You are really fast answering. This is very nice!

You got me wrong, because I didn't explained very well. Please look at the pictures and you will see, what I mean.

@Bugmenotsony,

I see, I completely misunderstood. I will pass your feedback along, I also recommend you contact your local support team and let them know too. Use the link in my signature to find their details.

Yeah it's good that you will pass it, but why should I contact the local service? Won't this be in the next OTA update?

@CameronT

Do you have any news, if this is getting released in the next Update? When does the next update come?
