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.

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.
Hi there
Is it possible to make this work on the X10?:

Switching 2G/3G through the menus is very annoying. Or is there any other workaround for this?

Have you tried the app on the link?
Does it work?
I use switchpro widget. It's just like the original power toggle widget that comes with the phone but more features. Get it from the market.
Switchpro only calls the network menu too, or did i miss something? A more direct 2g/3g switch would be nice
Yes, i tried to install it with xrecovery, flashing without problems. After sucessful boot, the power bar is gone and on long tabbing an empty place on the desktop, nothing happens anymore :-\

Na SwitchPro gives you a button to toggle the data connection i.e 2g/3g
The button in the middle is called 'Data Connection' and not 2G/3G. But that's what it does, turns 3G on/off
It turns the data connection on and off, but thats not what i want, i want to switch directly between 2g and 3g.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is just my phone or not, but I can't seem to disable the data connection outside of the widget from the notification bar.
I first noticed the problem when I was attempting to create a profile that would turn off the data connection and back on every 15 minutes, but it failed to do anything.
Afterwards, I tried out some apps such as Widgetsoid2.x and put Mobile Data and 2G/3G onto the widget. However, I noticed that turning off the data from the widget would show it being off on the widget but it'll remain on in the notification bar. If i turn it off through the notification bar, the widget on the homescreen would be off. However, clicking the homescreen widget to turn it on would bring up the Mobile Network Settings screen with a toast saying, "Enable Data First".
Anyone else got this problem or have a solution?
Its not just you, I have profiles setup using Llama to switch WiFi on and off depending on where I am and of course I have it turn data off when WiFi is on.
Now I'm not sure if its a glitch related to turning it off manually, but it doesn't seem to turn back on when out of range of WiFi despite having a rule setup to do that. Yet other rules work perfectly. I just assumed it was a bug with Llama and figured I could like with it.
I used to use power toggle with a widget switch for data. After a restart suddenly the toggle switch for data brings me to the options menu for data instead of turning data on... also other apps with data switches don't work. I have proper root and the programs are getting the right permissions... I changed nothing...I also deleted Dalvik cache and restarted,wiped caches,reinstalled the app... Anyone has a reason or solution ?

OK, last night I rooted my g930a snapdragon phone. I am really not a power root user. Just like some of the conveniences. Previous phones I rooted, I could load power toggles and toggle the mobile data from the home screen so when I am not using mobile data, I can turn it off so some rogue app in the background doesn't secretly consume my data all day and night. If mobile data is off, it's not being used. Previous phones it toggled from the home screen and did not just provide a short cut to the builtin toggle.
But even with my phone now rooted, power toggles is still just giving me a shortcut to use the builtin toggle which I find annoying. Any idea how to fix this? I am using supersu as my su root app if it makes a difference.
