Android 5.0 Lollipop has rolled out now to the likes of the Nexus 4 , Nexus 5 , 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices, with the new Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet rocking the software out of the box.
Major areas that saw improvement were the Quick Settings menu and Notifications bar. A simple swipe down from the top of the screen reveals notifications from texts, emails and other apps, while a second swipe lets you quickly adjust the brightness and turn on things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Airplane mode.
The default screen in the Quick Settings menu shows toggles for eight options: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, network connection, Airplane mode, Auto-rotate, Flashlight, Location and Cast screen. When you turn on the Hotspot feature or probably the Invert Colors option, a new icon will appear in this menu.
These new icons can be annoying (or irritating), especially if you mistakenly inverted your colours. The toggle icons will automatically go away from the Quick Settings menu after a month of inactivity. You don’t have to wait that long anymore as there is an easy fix to rid your Android 5.0 Lollipop Quick Settings of Menu Oddball Toggles.
