And that would be which screen exactly in the Settings app?

'Mobile'

 

[C DM]

'Mobile'

So...Settings > Cellular?

[LordQ]

What screen is that in settings exactly?

Settings -> Mobile -> Mobile Data.

 

[C DM]

Settings > Mobile

Don't have Mobile but have Cellular so figured that must be the equivalent.

Settings -> Mobile -> Mobile Data.

So Mobile/Cellular Data is a toggle basically or some sort of a different screen inside the Mobile/Cellular section?

i've been searching for a long time, but couldnt find an updated list...

this list is from ios5 or something.. and i think that feature was removed afterwards and is only now returning in ios8.

Got it. Been trying a few different ways to get to it but no luck so far.

It may not be available. I've tried to generic paths and a few using the general logic of these shortcuts. No luck so far!

How do we identify these? Maybe someone can use Xcode to find the URL scheme? (I'd do it but I'm away from my personal mac)

 

[HawkBYU]

Has anyone found one that will just open the Phone app so that I can just dial a number?

Settings App

Anyone figured how to open settings app home?

comgooglemaps://?saddr=Google+Inc,+8th+Avenue,+New+York,+NY&daddr=John+F.+Kennedy+International+Airport,+Van+Wyck+Expressway,+Jamaica,+New+York&directionsmode=transit

saddr: Sets the starting point for directions searches. This can be a latitude,longitude or a query formatted address. If it is a query string that returns more than one result, the first result will be selected. If the value is left blank, then the user’s current location will be used.



daddr: Sets the end point for directions searches. Has the same format and behavior as saddr.



directionsmode: Method of transportation. Can be set to: driving, transit, bicycling or walking.

Thank you!

Hmm, but for some reason Google maps doesn't use my actual GPS location with this method (instead going by the cell tower I think), even though it works fine when I open the app normally.

Incidentally, I just discovered that the "code" code breaks quotes in Tapatalk. Lol.

 

[deathnite]

- mobile data (prefs:root=cellular) - haven't figured this one out. Any help appreciated.

You can get url schemes for apps and such from these sources (they let you create customised actions):

Thank you so much for the cellular shortcut #

 

[s2smooth4u]

I googled Apple battery icon and looked for one that matched the others.

You are awesome! Thanks!

You are putting way to much work into this, this functionality is already built in!

1 Add app launcher
2 select the built in settings (notice the > pointer to tell you there is a drill down)
3 scroll down to add the individual sub menu you want.
4 Profit

Just select the settings app and it drills down to submenus for you!

hey all! Thought I'd make this so we could share what we're all doing with our notification centre widgets. Apps like Launcher let us put shortcuts to apps etc in there, so let's see what we've all got!

Would be great if we all share the URL Schemes that got us those actions too.

So far, I've got shortcuts to:

- Personal Hotspot (prefs:root=INTERNET_TETHERING)
- Location Services (prefs:root=LOCATION_SERVICES)
- Mobile Data (prefs:root=MOBILE_DATA_SETTINGS_ID)
- Sounds (prefs:root=Sounds)

Some others:
VPN: prefs:root=General&path=VPN
Phone App: mobilephone://
Settings App: prefs:root

In my notification centre. Full control centre switches now! Huzzah.

how did you find out about those?

 

[Fynd]

Not sure if this is even possible, but is there a way to set vibrate on/off using this? I'd love a toggle for that. I always keep my phone on my desk in silent mode during work hours.
