Re: Mobile data switch on Network Indicator

 

I understand simplicity you ask for and from certain point of view i like it, there is one more concern with mobile data switching on and off from drop down menu, it's security

the way it is now user have this option behind the lock code of the phone, so no mean people can turn on owners cellular data and spend his money, if you set up this switch into the drop-down menu it will be completely unprotected to these jokes.

For me it would be nice to have possibility to setup feature like this (e.g. in cellular under cellular data have switch "show in Network screen")

Hey all!

I have been using a Bq Aquaris E4.5 phone as my daily driver for more than 10 months and I really love it. Last month my mother's phone was broken, so we needed to look for a new one. And we've bought a Bq Aquaris E5 to her. She really likes it. The only problem is that she has a SIM card with a very low amount of mobile data (50MB) and she easily runs out of this limit if she doesn't turned mobile data off when she doesn't use it. But on the Network Indicator there are switches only for Airplane mode, WiFi and Hotspot, there isn't any for Mobile data. So she needs to open System Settings everytime when she wants to enable or disable it. Is there a reason behind the decision to there's no switch for this purpose? If no, could you provide a switch for mobile data on this indicator too? She and I would really pleased. Thanks.

p.s.: Thanks everyone for you hard work.
