I would love to have a toggle widget for the wireless hotspot feature in cyanogenmod 6. It is a bit annoying to have to go into settings each time to activate it as I use it alot.
Anyone wish they had it also?
There's a lot of Widgets in the market that work. I just tested hot spot toggle, it works fine

i am looking for a app that i can use on my home screen to toggle bluetooth on and off since i dont like how i have to go to settings and do it.
Hello,try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601203
Before Froyo, if I wanna enable/disable mobile data usage, I used a passive way, changing the APN server setting, to fool the system so it couldn't connect.
In Froyo, there is a new option under Setings -> Wireless & Network Settings -> Mobile Networks called Data enabled/disabled, which is a much direct approach than changing the APN.
But up to today, I've yet to see a widget which targets at this option. Currently I hv made a 3G shortcut to that setting page on to my home screen. Really hope there will be a toggle widget instead!
So how do u guys enable/disable data usage at the moment without a handy widget on Froyo?
Thanks!
P.S. I know about SwitchPro and Extended Controls. They worked as expected but in the old APN way (changing the APN server name), like other widgets such as apndroid. I m looking forward to a widget which can make use of the new froyo setting.
(yeah I know 2 approaches produce a similar effect. I just wonder if I keep the Mobile Data setting on and let it to connect to a wrong address will cause any battery waste. Hope u understand my point of view.)
SwitchPro just updated their widget to include turning the data off for real. Not the APN way. When I updated, it was defaulted to off. Took me so long to figure out how to get my data back up
Old APN way is still available under the settings too.
I use extended controls power widget. It looks like power manager, but with more options and customabilty =D
JuiceDefender has an APN on/off widget. Not sure if it's in the free version or not.
I'm sure a lot of you already use this, but this widget is a must have IMO. It basically has toggles for almost every setting you might need (e.g. wifi, bluetooth, reboot, flashlight, etc.) and is highly customizable. The latest 1.8.1 update also has a toggle for 4G, and is confirmed working. Give it a shot, it's only a buck, and the dev is very responsive.

don't be sorry, dazzle is nice but doesn't have a 4G toggle (yet )
I don't get it... When I long-press the screen, I am able to add widget toggles. I already have one for 4g, Wi-fi, bluetooth, gps and LED Light. Is my phone special?
Those are the Sense Widgets. These will work for those of us with Sense disabled.

They don't work without sense, not to mention, those are each 1x1 icons. With SwitchPro you can fit 7 switches on a 4x1 area. I have it to switch my wifi, 3g, brightness, ringer, led flashlight, and sync.
SwitchPro had a data button too that works with the EVO.
So you have 4g and Data toggles. This program is crucial for any EVO non-sense launcher.
are there any free widgets that toggle 4g. it's really the only thing I'm missing. sticking these power widgets on quickdesk is awesome and i just want to round out my widget pack without paying $1 for a widget that i technically already have but can't use.

I have this on my HTC Legend, but it acts a little weird. The data connection tab only works if the data connection was disabled through SwitchPro.
e.g. I'd have to enable my data connection in the settings and disable it with SwitchPro to be able to enable/disable it with SwitchPro.
Another thing i don't like is that data is automatically enabled when WiFI is disabled. Is there any way around this?
Iv noticed that the mobile data toggle switch in the power widget doesnt work??....anybody else noticed this?,im on my 3rd NS and everyone has been the same,not a major thing i know just i like to turn mine off when not using mobile data,and the mobile data toggle is a handy widget,it doesnt work on the Power widget that comes with the phone or any of the beautiful widget toggles...tut..someone help...
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.

Change to Nova or Apex launcher....
Sent from my Moto G using TapaTalk
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)
