Pin a shortcut to Bluetooth

[Bostonbull]

Is there a way to pin a shortcut to the Bluetooth tool in settings? Its a PITA to go to settings, then BT everytime I want to turn BT on and off.

EspecIally useful when I'm in the car and a call comes in I don't want my passengers privy to.

Are there any apps to quickly turn Bluetooth off?

that's another problem I had with Windows iPhone 7, I had to go into "settings" to turn on/off this stuff....

On my Epic running Android, I just select the drop down menu from any screen and can quickly turn on/off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, silent mode, and 4G. - LOVE IT!

But I'm sure the upcoming pineapple update for Windows iPhone 7 will fix this issue too.....

no because 3rd party apps are not to adjust the system settings and for good reason. however I find myself getting to the Bluetooth on/off switch much faster on my arrive than I did on my tp2. on my tp2 if I wanted to turn off Bluetooth I had to slide all the way over to the settings tab, click on communications or wireless controls then wait for the comm manager to load then hit the Bluetooth off toggle and wait for it to respond.

the above is the type of post u should have made. this is not a thread to compare the features of wp7 with the features of android, there is already a section of this forum and a thread for this. with that said if u have nothing helpful to say to the OP then its better to not post at all. ¿vale?

Think he is just stating a opinion but soon as you see the word "android" you go all nuts. The post is on topic and he is not bashing wp just stating his opinion.

Yeah that's probably the only thing I miss from my epic is that drop down or should i say just an easy way to turn on/off my wifi and bluetooth

To the OP if u have an unlocked phone there is an app that u can pin to the start screen, but in my testings it crashed and lagged alot it end up being quicker to just go into setting, if your device is unlocked I can see if i can find it

Im guessing when mango comes out with deep linking that you should be able to pin it without the need for an app tho
