Looking in the instruction guide it shows a picture of the buttons at the top of the notification bar and says that the far right button with the up and down arrow on is for 3g.
But on turning this button off the phone still connected to the 3g network which the button is suppose to stop. Further investigation has revealed that this button only turns off mobile data and not 3g so becareful if you have been using this button to turn off 3g on the phone to save battery power.

Is there an application that can be placed as an icon in the Taskbar to turn the WiFi ON or OFF without opening up the Comm Manager program? I have one for BT, but I can't find the same application for WiFi.
I use a button remapping tool for this:

AE Button Plus is a small app that can rebind your hardware buttons. It has the ability to bind the actions: toggle wifi and toggle BT. I use it on my XDA Orbit - I've set it so that holding down the messaging button for a second toggles BT and holding down the IE button toggles wifi.
You could bind the red and green phone buttons for this, or even the volume slider. E.g. holding the volume slider up for 1 second to toggle BT.
But if you need the taskbar icon BatteryStatus might do the trick.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOUR SUGGESTION IS VERY HELPFUL...
Yippeee!!
I just found out how to get around the problem where the "Start" button gets disabled and soft-reset was the only way to re-enable it! A little more info on the problem -
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
- The last application that ran would appear instead of "Start" even after you close/minimize the application.
- Clicking on the button, would do nothing...the button goes dead.
- Clicking on the signal strength icon is dead, clicking on any notifications does nothing, you cant alternate click the clock! Only thing clickable is the "Close" button and the speaker button (only when in a call)
HERE's HOW TO GET YOUR DEVICE OUT OF THIS STATE!
Simple! Just press the POWER button of your device to turn it off, and simply press it again to turn it back on to get all the buttons on the top bar functional again!! Haha!!
I used to soft reset all the time for this, now this is an easy fix ;o)) Just thought i'd share it if others have this same problem on their devices!
Cheers!

I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE. Rooted but otherwise stock.
I've read a couple of posts where people say the phone doesn't hang up when pressing the RED button. My problem is different.
When I make a call if I stay on the call screen, I don't have the problem, I can hang up when done.
When I make a call and wander away from the call screen, either hitting home or task manager and switching tasks, when I come back to the phone to hang up (by pressing the green phone icon, bottom left) the screen I'm returned to is different, and doesn't have the RED hangup button.
Basically instead of having the in-call screen (Add call, keypad, end call, speaker, mute and headset buttons) it has the ready-to-call screen (numbers, Green dial, yellow email and back arrow).
I try everything to get back to that screen, but the only way I can hang up is to power off the phone. Rather serious. Help please.

If you navigate away from the call screen, then you have to pull down the notification bar and press Phone. This will bring you back to that previous call screen.

When I load up my nexus, all I see is the bar on the top and menu bar on the bottom, with the gray camera loading screen not moving. The buttons don't work and I can't hold down the power button to completely shut it down. I believe it is a nexus 10, but I'm not sure. I really need help ASAP, as I use this for my coding class at school.
EDIT: Fixed! Just had to hold down the power button for longer.
Are there any Xposed Modules or Apps that its feature is capable of acting as a Power Button by Long Pressing the Status Bar? Basically, Long Pressing the Status Bar acts just like what the Power Button would do when you Long Press the Power Button (The Power Menu would show up when long pressed). A "Very Long" Press on the Status Bar would restart the Device.
I need this kind of feature to my ROM and Device because the Power Button in my Tablet is not responding properly as of late and I have decided to use it only in the case of emergencies, so that I won't worsen its already bad condition.
I am well aware of apps like Quick Boot and there may be apps that are already capable of doing this but I would want this feature to be noticed and made possible so that this feature would be added in Custom ROMs just like the "Double Tap the Status Bar to Sleep" feature of CyanogenMod. I'm also hoping that this kind of feature would also be included in the Lineage OS ROM.
