The Xperia Z2 just like the HTC One M8 and the Galaxy S5 comes with a dedicated Quick Settings panel. However, unlike the other two, the Quick Settings panel cannot be accessed by the two-finger swipe down gesture introduced by Google in Android 4.2.2.

Even the quick tiles offered by Sony are pretty limited in number compared to the One and S5. Some notably missing ones include the user tile, torch and more. 

Thankfully, Sony at least provides users with a way to add or hide tiles and re-organize them. Read below to find out how.

Step 1: Swipe down on the Z2’s home screen to reveal the notification bar. Now, switch to the Quick Settings panel by tapping its shortcut on the top-right.

Step 2: Tap the Edit button you see on the top-right to customize the Quick Settings panel.

Step 3: From the list that opens, select the tiles that you want to be displayed by ticking them. Use the drag handles on the left of the tiles name to drag ‘n’ drop and re-order the tiles as you like.

When you are done customizing, simply tap the back button to exit the menu. Your changes would be automatically saved and reflected instantly.

As a Z2 owner, I am pretty disappointed with the lack of quick tiles on the handset. Most of the tiles are related to Sony’s own feature, which will hardly be of any use to majority of the users out there while others like roaming and screen mirroring are of very little use in day-to-day usage.
