Widget or App for manually syncing everything if you have mobile data turned off ?

Is there an app or widget with which you can manually sync all widgets requiring data connection and email accounts and all other accounts if you have mobile data turned off or not always on data.
UPDATE:
What I'm looking for, I'll try to explain in the following scenario.
1. I have mobile data turned off to save power with the mobile data that came with sense on my HTC Eris.
2. I want to hit this widget, and what it should do is turn on the mobile data long enough to refresh the HTC weather widget, twitter, facebook and other widgets that depend on internet. After that it should turn the mobile data back off.

I use Extended controls. It is basically a modified Power Control Widget that allows you to choose the widget size 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4.
The widget bar has 2 color styles, black and white and allows for you to change the transparency of the bar in increments of 10.
Also allows you to choose which controls you wished to have placed on the widget itself
*2g-3g switch
*Data network switch (enable/diable data)
*Wifi
*Bluetooth
*GPS
*Autosync (press once to turn off auto sync and press again and it will turn back on and begin syncing your data. This is what you are asking about in the OP)
*Brightness (have mine set as user selectable when pressed but also an option to have it increase in increments when pressed)
*autorotate
*airplane mode
*media scanner
*silent/vibrate
*timeout (backlight timer)
*torch (use lcd or flash as flashlight)
*silent
*autolock (press disables autolock)
*screen always on*mass storage
*battery
*reboot

there you go. Great Widget. I love it.

Dazzle is a free but slightly less comprehensive version of Extended Controls. For you, OP, it is perfectly suitable as it does have the sync on-off switch option. Just make a 1x1 widget and choose only Sync.
Description:
The ultimate switcher bar for your phone. Choose from 4 widget sizes, and choose which controls it shows: ringer, sync, WiFi, BT, GPS, airplane, or brightness with min/max/preset (and auto toggle on some phones).
Now with both one-touch and popup controls.

that looks like what I need, but I don't think it does what I need to do.
What I'm looking for, I'll try to explain in the following scenario.
1. I have mobile data turned off to save power with the mobile data that came with sense on my HTC Eris.
2. I want to hit this widget, and what it should do is turn on the mobile data long enough to refresh the HTC weather widget, twitter, facebook and other widgets that depend on internet. After that it should turn the mobile data back off.

So basically you just need a widget to turn mobile data on/off. You could look into JuiceDefender/UltimateJuice. While it might be an excessively complicated workaround, it does have a widget to turn mobile data on/off (I believe it requires root). The free version has a fixed on/off interval (1 min on for every 15 min off) but I think the pay one (UltimateJuice) will let you do everything manually (for ex, n minutes on for every m minutes off, where n and m are user specified amount of minutes). The free one does have the manual control widget though. I know this sounds complicated, but just try it for yourself lol
Edit: I got it, you can do it completely manually with the free version.
After you initially get it set up, change it to advanced view. Then, disable everything so that every field is grayed and says "Do nothing." Now, the mobile data can be completely controlled by the widget once you add it. The widget is called "Toggle mobile data."
I really think this app is what you're looking for.

Samsung Epic taskbar Radio on/off buttons port to EVO??

I've been searching everywhere and see ports or attempts at the Epic launcher/touchwiz, etc. being ported. I would rather stick with Sense.
However the 4 radio on/off buttons hidden away with the task bar seems perfect and would love to see it ported to the EVO.
Is anybody working on this or have any ideas/suggestions?

Agreed! This would be so amazing… I think the best bet would be for someone to add it to CM6, as it seems more like a core OS feature than an addon.

probably wont happen, I asked about this a few months back and many devs answered with why not. for it to happen we would need to port the framework from the galaxy s phones. it can happen, but it would take a lot of work. i would love this feature too though.

Would love this also....BOUNTY anyone???

Isn't there already an app that can place a control bar in the notication area?

Your sig is obnoxiously large. Why don't you resize it?

I think what you're looking for is bar control
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Bar Control is ok. It let's you put app short cuts in control bar. What the Epic task bar does is keep the Radio on/off buttons hidden till you pull down. Something we need but hidden away, yet quickly and easily accessible!
It like receiving a notification in your pull down task bar, but it's permanent!
The market app "Notification Status" comes closest to doing the same thing. It cost .99yuan

I would to also love this function on my EVO. My wife has the Epic 4g & I love the status bar buttons. Tried some other apps, can't find anything that works as simple as the Epic4g buttons.

CyanogenMod Nightly (after build 116) has this built in. You can select what you want to have in the bar, just like for the Power Control widget (WiFi, Bluetooth, Hotspot, GPS, Sound, Brightness, Auto-Sync, Screen shut-off timer, Auto-rotate, 2G/3G (doesn't work on CDMA phones), data on/off, lockscreen on/off, airplane mode, etc.)

I was looking for the same thing, best I could find was using "quick desk beta" (double tap home to bring up a screen over your current app and add whatever widgets you need to it) I have most of the curvefish widgets on it (brightness, gps, airplane, WiFi, auto rotate, etc pretty much everything but a 4g toggle)

Power Control Widgets

So, anyone got a working one for data and GPS? I have Power Control Plus but it's a no go.

Doesn't the default Power Bar widget have toggles for data and GPS?
Barring that, check out Widgetsoid, it has an abundance of toggles you can add.

SwitchPro Widget.

Has the bluetooth button and GPS button been fixed for switchpro?

It does have GPS (the data one is only for wifi) and I'm using it but since I bought power control plus I'd like to keep using its features. To be honest, the only one I really miss is the data(3g) toggle.

I'm not sure about customizing the provided one, when I was using the stock rom I looked for a way and didn't find anything. Since switching to CM10 it has a similar way with quick settings being customizable in notification area.
You could use Notification Toggle, an app that adds buttons to the notification area, but Samsung already crammed that notification area so full I wasn't real happy with it as it was - and this would just make it fuller...

Customise quick settings, data on / off ?

I'm on a low end PAYG tariff so manually turn data on / off over 3g. The Moto G doesn't seem to have a quick way of doing this and quick settings don't appear to be customisable... ? Unless anyone knows different ?

Press the signal icon in quick settings.

stock android is like that on every phone
you must use power toggles from play store, or exposed framework and some modules

This takes you to the menu to then toggle it..... I've come from a HTC where you can just toggle via the icon in quick settings since my first android back in the day HTC Legend. I guess thats part of Sense and I'll need to use a 3rd party app. It just feels like such a basic feature though coming from a non-stock android experience.

Swipe with two fingers from the top then tap the network button(middle one), then tap "mobile data"

Thanks all

You could also use widgetsoid from the playstore.
One tap customisable toggles in notification area.

you could also use gravitybox together with xposed to override system default toggle behavior for some toggles (wifi, bt, data, etc)
