I'd trade it anyday for a bluetooth toggle!
we need this!
Out of curiosity, why?
The purpose of quick settings is to turn on and off common features that are always being turned off an on.
What situation are you put in that requires LTE/Cellular to constantly be turned off and on regularly?
poor coverage? constantly searching for weak LTE signal and then dropping it resulting in poor battery life.
LTE is not mainstream yet unless you have Verizon but there are people in other countries which are still deploying this technology
Hit Airplane mode.
Then hit WiFi on.
Magic.
you can't be this stupid... why would I want to block cellular calls? my phone needs to be on all the time to receive text and calls. I just want to head back to regular 3G/4G, my city has LTE but my house struggles getting signal tilll you walk out, and while it struggles finding LTE it drains your battery life. you really don't understand how this works.
I want a "turn off cellular button"
How about leaving LTE off until you need it, rather than turning it off every time you have problems? 3G is fine for regular web browsing...
The major problem with this is that Apple allows carriers to disable the toggles for 3G and LTE.
If they were to put either or both in "Control Center", they'd need to handle:
1) What happens if your carrier doesn't offer LTE
2) What happens if your carrier doesn't offer 3G (sounds unlikely, but that's the reality in some countries)
3) What happens if your carrier disables the LTE toggle
4) What happens if your carrier disables the 3G toggle
What happens with all of the combinations of the above? What does the UI look like? Do they show a greyed-out icon? Do they move things around? What about the iPod touch/iPad (without cellular data)?
"Cellular Data" should be an easier toggle to add (and really, it's the only toggle people should be using on a regular basis), as that can't be disabled by carriers.

You still get calls and text messages with cellular data off. Cellular data is for any communication beyond basic calls and texts. Shouldn't call others stupid when you don't know what you are talking about.

did you used nc settings? if a carrier didnt offer LTE it had a 3G switch... what seems to be the issue I fail to see it?
I was hoping to see a personal hotspot toggle![]()
why should we get left out of a feature because your bloody carrier doesn't support those toggles? or at least it's carrier file? you are totally wrong, they can give you another option toggle like cellular data.It's about how many possible configurations Apple has to support.
My carrier does not offer LTE or the 3G switch.
What would be shown on my phone? Nothing? All of the other icons in a bigger size? Unavailable features greyed out?
The current setting selection makes sense on all supported devices. Toggles for 3G or LTE would need to be carrier dependent and as such, they'd need to design the UI so that it could cope with that.
it can be done theres no excuse, sure your carrier is weird and doesn't even have a 3G toggle, so be it they can leave that out and use a cellular data toggle or a bluetooth one, it's just some handful carriers who have weird configurations, I'm assuming your carrier doesn't have that because it doesn't have a 2G network to fall back, and most GSM carriers around the world do have it.That doesn't sound like something Apple would do to me.
That would be a great feature, but it suffers from the same problem as above - it's carrier and account-specific.

how about an LTE toggle that can allow me to do that instead of taking more steps to do it? almost everybody would prefer LTE over bluetooth
it was the most requested feature that auxo people and the nc settings developer got.
