Hi all, I'm using Sailfish OS on my Nexus 4 and it's great. I usually keep my phone offline and I enable connection only when needed.

It should be very useful to have a way to enable / disable connection without the need to go to setting every time.

A possible solution shout be to add a new item in the pulley menu in home screen near "silence sound" with "enable / disable wifi" . It should be removable from the pulley menu using a specific check in the settings.

I use 'Control Center in Events View' from Patchmanager... So it's only a 'swipe up and click' to enable | disable internet for example. Same goes for bluetooth and airplane mode, GPS etc.... :)

As Sailfish OS is promoted to be true multitasking environment - How about keeping settings active in home screen for easy access and adding the Wlan and mobile data switches as settings favorites?

This way the enabling/disabling the wifi is availbale with two clicks and one edge swipe (left or right) back to home screen.

@schturman bit off topic, but as you have created lot of small apps already

Would it be possible to create app for autostart/run of apps

Of course the best would be if app itself would have setting for autostarting enable/disable

Sorry, I'm not programmer and can't create real app with GUI. Maximum that I can create with terminal GUI... Also, you already have answer how to do this in this post from your link: https://together.jolla.com/question/404/autostart-applications/#post-id-11430
