I can't seem to find any widgets or apps with the ability to switch on/off 3G data in the market for Gingerbread. Those that have that function only worked with 2.2 and is not working with Gingerbread. Any ideas?
I'm not 100% sure with gingerbread, but did you already try quick settings?

Moved to Q&A
I believe that Widgetsoid can disable mobile data...along with a host of other options. Highly recommended toggle application!

Hi,
on HTC Sense there is a widget that can turn on/off "Mobile Network". I am looking for a replacement.
What I am *not* looking for is a widget that changes APN setting, but one that toggles the checkbox for "Mobile Network" like the original one.
Is there something in the market? Tried Switcher Pro, Enhanced Controls and various other widgets.
Thx!

Search the market for '2G' and you'll find: 2G-3G OnOff.
Or any other widget you want. All of them will be a shortcut directly to the settings to change it. Since it's not possible to create a one-click widget. (Weird, since on my Desire with Sense, there is a 1-click widget).

This sucks :-(
i use GTWidget Data....works great for me...only problem that it has is if you use home replacements and switch through them or update them the widget will go invisible so all you have to do is re-add the widget and then the original widget will appear.
Search market for curvefish. This developer has many toggle.
I know what you want, a data switcher on or off.
The best that i've tried: "APN OnOff" from CurveFish. Easy to use, fast and reliable.
Well he is looking for a one click one. Like the HTC ones. I have just tried what he already did and true. The extended controls renames the APN and switchespro semi disables them with a text "use Data when no wifi available". What basically means it will turn itself back on pretty soon itself or in about 40 mins from your last use when you turn the screen on.
OnOff does reneme the APN also.
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?
anyone gotten data toggle to work on gingerbread? on 2.2 i switched to toggle mode and it worked. but its grayed out for me on here
I have this too. When I click the toggle when data is off it takes me to the mobile networks settings. If data is on the toggle still shows as off.
I need a power toggle widget that is similar to Widgetsoid or Extended Power Controls that allows me to toggle on and off the GPS and 3G/EDGE without the need to go into the menu. I like the one that is in CM7 but rather stay on stock roms or AXURA ROM
widgetsoid 2.x

I am using widgetsoid2.x right now and I have set it to use root for data toggle but it didn't prompt for root access, if I can get it to let me toggle GPS and Data Connection without the need to go into the settings it would be great and perfect!

Switchpro is good. Costs $1 in the market. Gingerbread support was recently added and it works well. I can switch 3g on/off fine. Everything prior to the gingerbread update worked except 3g.
