CNET How To - Rid your Android quick settings menu of oddball toggles

2015-01-30
I'm a big fan of Android 5.0 lollipop I love the new look and most of the new features but there's one thing that has been driving me insane and that's the quick settings menu when you pull down the notification bar you can do a second swipe to quickly access quick toggles for things like Wi-Fi Bluetooth and airplane mode it's really useful but what I've been knowing me is that when you use it as a hotspot or invert color feature a new icon will appear in this menu the only way to get rid of this icon is to leave it alone for 30 days and it will simply disappear well I didn't want to wait that long so I figure out an easy fix for this here's what you can do head to settings click date and time and uncheck the box for automatically setting the time then select set date and choose the same date from a month ago pull down the quick settings menu and toggle the hotspot or invert color feature on and then back off then head back into the settings menu and recheck the box to use your network provided date and time and voila just like that those annoying icons what disappeared for more how to's like this one be sure to check out how to cnet com you can also hit me up on twitter with any questions or comments i'm dan graziano cnet thank her
