Hotspot and tethering shortcut on home screen

Hi,

I can't add a hotspot and tethering shortcut on home screen with Xperia Home.

Works with other settings shortcut!

Hmm, interesting ..

Have you got the quick toggle on the pull down task bar?

Yes I do but I'm looking for a USB tethering shortcut rather than WiFi tethering.

Got ya,

Have you tried a 3rd party shortcut creator on play store?

Ok try this.

Download quickshortcutmaker from playstore.

Open it and in "activities" search the word tether followed by a space.

You will get a result called settings.

Click the down arrow and select either the second or third result called hotspot and tethering.

Try it to see if it works, then just add to home screen.

Thanks. Uninstalling alternative launcher solve the problem.
