Absolutely tired of the WIFI toggle in android 13. Alternatives?

Using Better Internet Tiles with Shizuku is a bit inconvenient, since you have to re-enable Shizuku every time you reboot, but it definitely is a solution.

In total, this will greatly reduce the amount of taps and swipes you would have to make. It allows you to have quick settings tiles that disable or enable wifi or mobile data with one tap. After the initial setup, starting Shizuku after reboots does not take that much effort following these steps:

1. Make sure you are connected to wifi.
2. Enable wireless debugging with a quick settings tile. (Developer options > Quick settings developer tiles > Wireless debugging)
3. Open Shizuku and tap start.

User2288 I guess you just wanted to blow off some steam. Fair enough. But back to the facts: Toggling WiFi is exactly one swipe and two clicks currently, whereas it was one swipe and one click in the old days. Not much of a difference it seems. The current solution is much more elegant, so I can see why Google went this way.

To toggle WiFi: Swipe down, click Internet, toggle off WiFi.

I have to say, I also hate this new toggle method, and we have to be correct here:
Old method: Swipe down, toggle wifi, swipe up
New method: Swipe down, click Internet, try to hit the tiny switch to toggle wifi, press done, swipe up
Plus another disadvatage of the new solution is, that you don't see the state of the wifi toggle in the pulldown menu.

I saw a nice solution for this on a LOS based rom: they just added the two old tiles (wifi & mobile data) as an option, so you can choose, what you want. Wouldn't this be a great solution for GOS as well?

"Not much of a difference it seems"

Actually it seems like it's a big difference to OP, and I'd agree with them.

I can't give you a cool and fitting tip for your problem. I just want to say that I like your attitude concerning Google. I share it in general. ;)

And now back to topic...

You can toggle this easily with using NFC tags with "NFC Tools" and "NFC Tasks" by wakdev. These apps are great for automating stuff like this. You don't even need to use NFC to activate features, you can have it as a shortcut on home screen. Maybe some of the features recuires you to purchase the Pro-edition, but it's cheap. You could have a NFC tag by you front door, one on your nightstand, one in the car, one in the workplace etc. 🙂

User2288 How do you install shizuku? Is it complicated? Do I need to have root? Does it introduce any security vulnerabilities?

Shizuku requires enabling USB debugging. That significantly reduces the security of your device, and thus it's strongly recommended not to use it.

Shizuku does not require root. I suggest you take a look at their own documentation: shizuku.rikka.app

Shizuku requires enabling USB debugging.

Shizuku reduces the security of your device, no doubt about that. However, Shizuku does not require USB debugging. Instead you can use wireless debugging, which works independent of USB debugging. Wireless debugging is not required to be enabled all the time and therefore can be disabled after starting Shizuku.

I do it WITHOUT any actions required... I don't even need to pick up the phone... It goes like this: honey can you turn the router off, thx. Done! ;(

Is it rude to ask why you are using Android 13?

Oh.

How embaassing!
