did this problem recently start or it has been there since you bought the phone?
and have you tried doing a factory reset in recovery mode?

[james bwalya]

The problem as been there since i bought the phone. I tried hard factory reset and all the data including all installed apps were erased but no solution.

I made a dum scater file backup of my phone using wwr mtk tool and sp flash.I even flashed my phone using the backup rom using SP flash tool but nothing changed.
I downloaded the smart quick setting app from play store from the link you provided using wi-fi and installed.Only a few settings like bluetooth,vibration,wi-fi are working.The rest nothing is happening after clicking on them.

Install App Shortcut Maker from Playstore and launch it
Under Shortcuts, select the Settings app. You should now be in the Settings shortcut. Select any of the settings then click Run / Open the app
