I use Dazzle Widget. Also allows me to move Wifi, GPS, Sound, Brightness, Bluetooth, etc all to the homescreen with a widget.. Works wonders
What ROM (if any) are you using? Anything 2.2+ should have the option to disable/enable data connection from the power menu. Otherwise, the extended controls widget worked well for me.
Widgetsoid works great for me.

I like several of the curvefish widgets. You should try the battery widget and the vibrate widget.

I picked the widgetsoid2x, as what the above poster mentioned it runs really good and it does what it says in the description..
I Recommended that app..

*#*#4636#*#* on Atrix HD?

The *#*#4636#*#* code to get to the menu to choose 3G/2G is not working. How else do you choose 3G or HSPA or 2G on the phone?
Download the app Phone Info from the Play Store, it works as a replacement to it. Works 100%

its only shows the info not change anything in radio settings though
So, you can't force the phone to go into WCDMA only mode with the app?
Update: I tried forcing it and it is working so it is certainly more than just an info app. Or did you mean something else?
Of course you can tinker with the settings, I used it to disable 4G LTE

How did you disable LTE? I try switching to 3G or EDGE and it goes back to automatic
It works fine for me, the 4G logo remains but 4G stays disabled. I set it to WCDMA only and it stays that way.

If you have ATT, you need to switch it to GSM only

That trick (*#*#4636#*#* ) is still in some official support notes but may no longer work, perhaps due to a JB update or provider chicanery, and on my phone Power Toggles only invokes a native configuration screen in which network settings is greyed out .
I've been using "LTE Setting" by Ryo Ueshima to force 4G without LTE. In spite of having been designed for the Sony Xperia, on my AT&T Atrix HD the "LTE Setting" app successfully forces the setting until phone is next powered off (not sleep, actually powered off) like so:
Within the app under "Set prefered network type"
- Select "WCDMA only" to use 4G (HSDPA) without LTE. Phone shows 4G icon without the LTE icon.
or
- Select "GSM only" to use Edge (LOL and to hear some nostalgic interference in nearby speakers). Phone shows E icon for Edge.
- The default for this setting on my phone/provider combination is LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Phone shows 4G and LTE icons. This state is restored if the phone is powered off/on and I wont mess with any other settings in this app.
I don't know of this will work for providers other than AT&T but has worked like a charm for me while AT&T updates software for Lucent switches in their towers in an attempt to fix an LTE specific issue where phones are not properly being switched to the phone-call state by a service called Modem FastDormancy Monitor Service (the service resides on the phone but problem invoking it is in the towers). Coincidentally the aforementioned update to the towers was applied just days ago and today is the first day that I haven't needed to force 4G without LTE in order to prevent missed calls. This settings force also has battery conservation application and may help maintain more reliable service when when mobile in some instances.

Tweak the build.prop to use WCDMA only. Don't have the value off hand...you're a 3 year xda member...longer than me...you should be able to find it. Might have to do a factory reset to make that setting stick. Titanium Backup Pro batch comes in handy for doing build.prop mods.
Cleaning up old threads and found this. Late though it is, why not add; If you use Nova Launcher you can create a shortcut to an "Activity" named "Phone Info" which invokes the same settings panel.

[Q] Issues with "My Places"

On my S5 Active it seemed to have auto-chosen GPS location for "My Places- Home", but I want it to use WiFi rather than GPS. I cannot seem to change this... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Anyone have any ideas?

You can change this in Settings > Location > My Places > Home. Select Wi-Fi, and choose your home's network SSID
I can set it there, but not change it

I'm going to use chronicaust's directions for the download booster, except I changed the download booster to the mobile hotspot, since the directions for the shortcut are nearly identical.
TO GET THE QUICKSETTINGS TILE: ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED.
1. Download SQlite editor version 2.1. It's 2.99 in the playstore, unless you obtain it free from somewhere else.
2. In apps, find settings storage > settings.db > system
3. Search for notification
4. Choose Notification_Panel_Active_App_List (there are a few VERY similar ones, make sure its the right one.
5. Add WiFiHotspot; Make sure you don't forget that semicolon.
6. Reboot
Mine was a little buggy, so I deleted the shortcut.
Thanks for the response. I ended up using Power toggles app.
Add widget to home screen.
Modify widget by clicking add.
Add WiFi hotspot item.
Click done in upper left corner.

I changed build.prop:
ro.product.name=kltexx
ro.product.device=klte
The last tile on the becomes "Wi-Fi hotspot" (next to Toolbox).
The pull down also changed: now it has "S Finder" and "Quick Connect". 4G LTE icon also changed to 4G and 4G changed to H+.
Then for some reason, even I remove AT&T's Mobile Hotspot app by Titanium Backup Pro, after a factory reset the icon comes back in Apps, without AT&T's provision though.

[Q] GPS On/Off Shortcut on Home Screen - NO ROOT

Hi All,
I tried all GPS Widgets available on Google Play but none seems to be functioning. Some do nothing and most of them will just open the GPS phone menu, where you have to activate GPS manually. Is there a way to turn on/off the GPS via one-click shortcut without root?
Thank you.
The simple answer is (unfortunately): No.
Just use the quick settings in pull down menu?

That's location, not GPS. There's a slight difference.
Sent from my D5803
Correct, using Location from the Quick Settings does not allow to turn on GPS only without having to confirm over and over again not to allow Google access.
