Network Dashboard

[Tee]

Connection Shortcuts was featured in the frontpage, but the icons is ugly and some implementation is not good. After digging the what's new in the app marketplace, I found Network Dashboard.

ND has better live tiles icons and unlike Connection Shortcuts tiles, ND doesn't go back to the app when you press the back button on the radio toggle setting. Instead it will exit the app completely and go back to the live tiles screen eliminating one unnecessary step

Here's a screenshot

Thanks for mentioning Network Dashboard, Tee. I just submitted a new update to the marketplace today that hopefully will be out in a couple of days that has a couple of nice new features.

It's just a shame that wpcentral covered ConnectivityShortcuts, which came out a week after Network Dashboard was announced and completely described on my blog. I've brought Network Dashboard to wpcentral's attention, but they don't seem to be very interested in covering it.

I just installed this and I like it a lot better than Connectivity Shortcuts. Active tile, one tap takes you to the radio settings and then just tap on each of icons to turn on/off. Nice looking and a great shortcut.

Nice. Oh and I did notice that ND was released a week before C.S too. Shame you didn't get any coverage on both here and wmposeruser.

Happy I found this app. It's essentially the same functionality as ConnectivityShortcuts, but this one is the nicer app; it's got that extra bit of polish.

The only thing I would love to see is if the WiFi tile could show the network you're connected to on the flipside, assuming that's possible?

Unfortunately, no. The APIs do not give you that functionality ... in fact, I can't even tell if you're connected to Wi-Fi, just that it's enabled.

Great app. Seriously. I had connectivity shortcuts for a couple days and this is much better. You've solved a problem that has plagued me since the launch of Windows Phone 7
