Hello,
I've recently switched from HTC Sense to using Launcher Pro -- and I miss nothing except having a mobile data toggle and a 4G toggle.
I'm tired of having to go into Settings (yes, I know you can hold down the power button to turn it off, but it doesn't work) to turn this off. I've searched and searched to find one that will work on the EVO, but haven't had any luck.
Is there a non-HTC widget toggle that lets you switch on and off mobile data (3G) and 4G?
yes search the market for a SwithPro Widget, I also use Launcher Pro and the 4G widget there works just fine.

Does it also allow you to turn on/off the mobile internet? I know many advertise that they do, but don't work.

I downloaded it and put it on my screen but none of the options were for 4g. i see data onnection and 3g-2g
I downloaded it after the developer emailed me back saying it supported the EVO.
It works to turn on/off 4G, but the toggle for mobile internet doesn't work. Very frustrating. Hopefully I'll get another response in 24 hours or I'm getting a refund.

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Its nice and clean with the no background option. It does have a 4G toggle you have to make sure you assign it to one of the slots when you add the widget to your screen.
Hello everyone, this is the first phone that I am using with data (yup, i've been using smartphones without a data plan). so I was wondering what "power control" widgets or shortcuts out there that could switch between 2G and 4G with just 1 click. The reason I wanna do this is that 2G saves battery while I'm not using the phone.
If I am not wrong, most of the power control widgets only "take" you to the setting page and you have to manually check the "use 2G only" box. But then I've also heard of some power control widgets do APN renaming of some sort.. no idea how that works.
in short: Please suggest a widget program that could switch between 2G/"4G" with just 1 click AND that program doesnt drain battery
thank you
I like Switch Pro. Not only does it have this switch but it has about 12 others all in one widget. You can also customize it color wise.
2G 3G OnOff by CurveFish toggles between 2G and 4G on my phone with the widget (no sending to setup screen). Don't be fooled by the name though, mine goes from 2 - 4 and back.

Whoops! Sorry, it does send you to the setup screen. I was thinking of another app I have that shuts the network off without going to the setup screen.
Sorry for the confusion!

I use SuperPower with Sidekick installed. Works great to switch with one button press, or automatically after a certain amount of idle time and/or battery level, etc ... Great power management app in general.

I thought switchpro widget only takes you to the settings? can you confirm that it does indeed switch 2g/3g with 1 click?

I use it all the time. Just one click. It also has just one click to turn data completely off. I think switch pro is the best option because you can get 8 widgets in one row.
Hmmm..
I believe that Elixir has that and there widget takes literally no power, and it can display everything including the 3g/2g switch.

4g switch on the app isnt either working or its grayed out. Not sure if its cause im using leaked GB or not but its the same for my Power Control widgets.
Still looking for the 2g/4g toggle widget and have yet to find it?
Switch Network Type 2G/3G from SoftXPerience.
It stays invisibly in the notifications drop-down screen and takes me to the settings page in a single click.
It's a simple, instant shortcut I've found more accessible than a widget.

SuperPower, requires root and a patch but it will automatically swap between 2G/4G (listed as 3G in the app). You set conditions for the switch, or if you want to do it manually you can do it from the notification bar or with a shortcut on your desktop. So far it's the only app I've found that doesn't just take you to the settings screen.
try toggle data. It's a simple one-click widget. Works perfectly on the g2x.

Hi Erislover:
How exactly do you set up the APN's to make sure MMS works. Can you by any change provide step by step instructions?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure on that. You could always just check the box to keep it enabled, hit the toggle so data is off, and then have a friend send you an MMS to see what happens. If it works, try to access a webpage to make sure data truly is off. If you can get the MMS and the web isn't working (and 4g isn't showing), you should be saving juice while still getting MMS's.
I'm super ignorant when it comes to APN's...not messing with the nightlies for just that reason!
well i need a kernel which supports bln control and notification power control.. nothing more than tat no uv or underclocked kernel just the above mentioned.. if any1 can help me out or guide me to the rite page im runing stock rooted 2.3.4.. thanks
Well if you use Matr1x, you can set it to 1Ghz using setcpu lol

You will need custom ROM for notification power control if you meant being able to choose options such as Sync, WiFi, 2G/3G Toggle, Brightness setting on notification bar.
As for the appropriate kernel for your need, Matr1x and Netarchy fits your bill. Both kernels support BLN control and an option to UC/UV if you prefer.
ok jungbum thanks bt i have heard that stock rom is the best for battery so a lil hesitant to change rom.. by the way wat does your username mean.. sounds different

there i a hack and flashable zip at the themes section! search for it! it is for 4G Nexus, but you can use it on GSM too
I am looking for a simple widget or way to turn mobile data on/off like the one I used in Cyanogen Mod 7 on my Inspire.
There's an App for that
Widgetsoid2.x
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
I don't think it actually turns it on and off like it does in CM ROMS. I believe it just takes you to the screen so you can turn off(uncheck) the data.
I believe only AOSP ROM have that options to actually turn it off directly

No luck with Widgetsoid2.x most of the widgets including the toggle of mobile data, the flashlight and more don't work on this phone. Thanks though.
I found a fairly easy solution to this. In the pull down menu there is both a WiFi toggle and an Airplane mode toggle. So, I just hit Airplane Mode then the WiFi toggle to turn my WiFi back on.
This is a HUGE battery saver, no real need for me to have LTE or any mobile data on most of the time because I am within range of WiFi. Seems that this has allowed me killer battery life.
Now I just need to hope for or figure out how to write an app myself which will detect a valid WiFi network, then automatically turn off mobile data. That would be nice! I think this was/is possible in CG7 but can't remember.
it works on the T989 version, so seems like the LTE is not compatible with the 4G switch in the widgets

Duh, just remembered that airplane mode also turns off the phone, voice, texting etc.. Ha ha.. Not what I was after. Oh well, back to needing a solution if anyone has one.
in Widgetsoid2 you have the option to control the data flow with the widgets, even if the LTE/4G widget doesn't work
have you tried those?

Do you mean the Mobile Data widget? If so, I did try that one but even when I turn it on, it doesn't work. Doesn't cut off mobile data at all or it brings me to the screen where I can turn it off myself. I can't remember which because I uninstalled it already.
this is partly why i switched to BeastMod since it's in the notification bar
Try 'Simple Mobile Data Link' by Marc Ole Bulling from Android Market. I installed it on my Skyrocket and it doesn't use AT&T data at all! So no more surprise data usage bills
won't have to worry myself once my original iPhone shops, unlimited data loophole
I will adding this to status bar hopefully before the weekend is over on my stock ROM posted in development section

Hey guys...I know Playin4Sheezy has been busy doing tons of stuff and he thought of starting a thread about "What would we want in a rom" thread for him to possibly incorporate into his masterpiece. I will add to the OP with good ideas that are possible to implement this life time:
1) Power off menu with screen capture, reboot, recovery etc
2) Adjustable status bar buttons (wifi hotspot, disable lockscreen)
3) Wake on Vol +/-
4) GB or rotary lockscreen
5) Battery % option like CM7 95II <--- Battery % next to bar
reserved for Playin4Sheezy---
What would I want? Thats easy .. nice stable rom with no issues.. lte lights and icons must work and have performance tweaks..
Flash it and make it perform better and not worse.
LOL, that's the point of building roms and testing them out. He finds what works and what doesn't by our feedback. If you want stock....stay stock. Also, BLN notifications are enabled by the kernel from Da_G.
Here this is what i would like if possible!

Lol what is it you consider nice and stable? I haven't had a single issue besides the lte icons which I can't test for accuracy due to lack of lte. The icons will be fixed as I have someone with lte testing for me. But besides that, what issues are you having?

Customizable pull-down toggles. Let me add what I want in there and sort them my way. How many people really need "Airplane Mode" at a quick glance.
I like my pull-down to be skimpy and to the point. Not cluttered with items I may click once a week or so at the most.
GSII LTE Boot animation without any sound (like it is now).
Get rid of the glowy "Samsung" letters during boot. It just looks dorky.
Customizable profiles with shortcuts to turn each on/off.
Capacitive buttons lit 100% of time so phone can be easily used in landscape mode in dark car when docked.
Audio-out in dock mode through 3.5mm jack to OEM Samsung Car Dock.
NFC working (I think it might already be?).
Color icons in settings menu.
ICS theme everywhere else.
Large button keyboard.
I use Go Launcher for my launcher and Widgetlocker for my lock screen, so no need to customize those two items.
Continue to provide update packages instead of full ROM's so we don't have to comletely wipe things out when you provide updates. This is a great idea you have there.
Based on 2.3.6.
If I could request something, it would be for :
1)a Vanilla Android. No TOUCHWIZ, no bloats whether from Rogers or AT&T.
2) If its an add on to stock TW, definitely have a tweak that doesn't force connection to 4G (3.5g) or LTE all the time. Only unless data transfer is being used like browsing in order to help conserve some battery, Battery %, control toggles, advanced power button options (reboot, shutdown, recovery), jkay tweaks, BLN (need supporting kernel), hardware acceleration.

I'd like the following:
Disable boot/shutdown sounds
Remove power off confirmation (why a two step power off?)
Remove the vibration icon on notification bar
Remove Full Charged Notification Icon, Sound and Screen On
CRT screen off animation
Extended power menu (reboot/recovery/download etc)
Lock screen choices (I like rotary lock screen)
Hacked Camera, power button acts as shutter release
CALL RECORDING
No CIQ
And of course all the mandatory stuff like Deodexed, Zipaligned, Rooted Remove AT&T bloatware etc etc....

AWESOME! Can't wait.
Do you think you'll be able to get call recording working? I loved it with my Captivate running Continuum 4.1 but apparently it doesn't work so easily with 2.3 GB roms. ??
There are a number of cool settings we can grab out of tmo roms (rom control, miui battery meter) All with dev permission/credit of course
My problem right now is there exists not one "total package" rom of all roms...and it CAN exist. Every request listed exists somewhere...it is just going to take some work getting it in one package
It is something i have been working on but have not really had time to mess with. I am a total newb at this dev stuff. even when that "perfect" rom is developed...I am going to need a kernel to go with.
Btw...i am in an lte area ...so if you need lte specific testing just let me know
