So now I have to open Bluetooth to toggle it on and off instead of a one-click toggle. Real shit "feature upgrade" (sh.itjust.works)

And there's no way to fix it short of flashing a new rom,as I understand. Just have to deal with the extra step now.

I was not impressed with this phone and they just keep making it less-user friendly.

I mean how the fuck are they justifying not letting you see which devices are connected to your hotspot?

Ri-diks.

This is definitely a case of overloading a feature when they could just make multiple features.

I personally love the ability to easily switch the active Bluetooth device (so I love the new behaviour), but not everyone has this need.

They should just have added multiple quick settings tiles so we can all be happy.

Right. Even if they wanted to change the behavior for everyone, this feature should have included another button that has the old behavior. More evidence that Google has long jumped the shark.

I agree 100%.

If it's a choice, fine.

Mandated extra step that block out personal convenient use unnecessarily?

Baffling and frustrating.
