  Do you have a Samsung phone? If so, the Gtricks article says the "Add
Settings shortcut widget" method does not work for newer (whatever that
means) Samsung phones and you need to "Use a third-party app":
"Shortcutter" [Quick Settings].

  In any case, I would try the Shortcutter Quick Settings app. Not being
updated in a long time, isn't neccessarily a bad thing. Good software
doesn't have to be fixed/updated every other day! :-( This post is
brought to you by over two *decade* old software!
