So I've been testing stuff out and I notice that when I have 3g turned off I get like twice the battery life. Is there an app anyone knows of that keeps 3g off unless specifically using data without having to manually use a 3g/2g toggle?
Nexus S - cm7
tasker would do it, its not free but its really worth the money

Would tasker do it without root on stock?
Every app I tried since 2.3.x... none seem to be able to disable your mobile data connection.
Thanks.

Looking for a app similar to the one in cm7 that can toggle 2g on and off. Haven't found anything like it yet

I've notice there's an option for "Use only 2G networks". Was wondering if it's possible to make, or if there already excist a widget/switch to quickly switch it on and off.

Widgetsoid is awesome, but it still only throws you into "Network settings" menu, not toggling the "Use only 2G networks" button.
Is it even possible tho? On my older phones (Desire, Desire Z) I remember it was impossible to do a button to instantly toggle between 2G and 3G.
Control Bar?

That's our best bet for now. On the g2 you could toggle.

Try xda superpower. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but it is useful. You can set it to disable data when the screen is off, set exemptions for specific apps, and a whole bunch of other options. Its free so you might want to give it a try.

pm me if u need help with setting it up before 2.3.3 it didnt work to automatically enable data. u had to toggle it on and off. but now it works like a charm and best thing (well not best thing on tasker but best for what u wanna use it for) u can disable data completely and still recieve mms.
and btw tasker can save u lot of battery if u set it up to ur usage
edit: forgot to tell u:
search tasker on the market and go on developpers site. there shoild be a 7 days tryal version

i just started using launcherpro cause its super bad ass. but there seems to be no way to get a switch to turn mobile data on and off. i turn it on and off a lot and its a pain to keep switching it thru the menu. theres no downloads and no way to make one please someone save me before i kill myself and punch my girlfriend and ***** slap my dog ill do all three in reverse order
"you want to try getting physical with me?" -airheads.
but really, i assume you are on a sprint leak rom, and are used to the sense widgets. i feel your pain. i use an app called juicedefender (when i'm on a sprint rom) and it has a widget called APN off or something like that. the app its self is badass but that widget is... superbadass. check it out it maybe exactly what you've been looking for.
Have you long press on the screen and set it up that way? Choose widgets, go to settings and select mobile networks.

Since it appears you're not running Sense, you should have a widget called Power Controls that should do it for you.

Is it only on sense that long pressing the end call button brings up a menu to power off the phone, and somewhere in that menu is mobile data on/off, or is it just not something you want to be bothered with?

Is there a reason why they have not created a Mobile Data Toggle on/off switch for the none rooted Hero using either ADW or LauncherPro UI other than the only option of using the end button and scrolling down to turn it off

All 3rd party widget apps say it's because it requires system access or something to that extent. There is one app that can do it. Download JuiceDefender. If you don't care for its battery saving functions, just open the app and disable it. After it's installed though, you can add a "Toggle mobile data" widget which acts just the way you want.
On stock running sense you can hold the power button and toggle it on it off by selecting mobile network

I did install JuiceDefender a couple of days ago but cannot get the data stream to work, it is X out, any suggestions on how to get it to work, again remember I am on Sprint, I sent the developer an email but have not received a reply from him as of yet
I use a widget called smoda widget from the market. That takes care of it. I think it needs root I forget.

Basically, just disable JuiceDefender. Then add the "Toggle mobile data" widget to your homescreen! You don't have to fiddle with JuiceDefender if you don't need it. Just use the toggle widget

I added a OOPs to my post, I had Wifi on,LOL, but I do have a question for you, I tried putting the widget on another page, as I am not crazy about the icon, but when I do put it on another page, I cannot get the JD icon off the notication bar, even when disabled, any clue, can you try it, I assume it has to be on the home screen
Open the main app, on the bottom click on Advanced mode if you haven't yet. On the top to the right Disabled/Enabled click on Notification. Notification is an option only if JD is enabled. If JD if disabled you shouldn't see the notification icon. Note, JD being on and Data being on are 2 different things, you follow?
Thanks Bud !!

Is it possible to have a pop up menu made available like it is for the Wi-Fi settings under the Mobile Network Settings...an advance menu..so a person could have the Data Network become inactive when the screen goes off ?
The reason I ask is this would allow those who choose to have their phones remain on all the time only have this active when the screen was on if they wanted set up this way. I believe having this option be made available would increase battery life...since so much battery draw can be used for the cell standby and it's constant searching for the best tower to give the best reception for data..
Thanks You

Well you could always use superpower beta from the market.

Most extra apps do...and it's for this reason I am asking if this can be included in any of the roms out there..It would make more sense to me to have the option to be able to schedule this within the system..than relying on a application to control it.I know Gingerbread is going to be able to manage things better..but even with it's new task managing improvement..this would be a nice feature to have...
Mac
It would be nice but juice defender has many options to schedule data and does allow programs to sync. It may be an ongoing background process but it doesn't keep the cpu from sleeping too much. It works pretty well.

no need to run any script, or use any 3rd party tethering apps,
juz use Root Explorer, edit
"build.prop" under "system" folder,
find "ro.mot.entitlement_check=true" and change it into
"ro.mot.entitlement_check=false"
restart machine and tht's done, at&t authentication gone, tested and work
if this has been posted before, please remove, thx!
I guess there's really no reason to even add a custom APN with this, right?
Doesn't work for me. Still attempts to check.

Doesn't work for me, but i did something alse:
under my APN, i add "default,tether" in APN type (the last one) and thats it

if you're using root explorer you need to hit the tab near the top that says "Mount r/w" to edit the file.

This works but doesn't show the notification. Could cause people to lose battery life with this...
Bump, works for me on 1.8.3 with Gingerblur
Change the ro.entitlement to false and then add ",tether" next to default on the APN type.
Reboot the phone and enable the hotspot.
You won't get a notification in the taskbar, but just disable it when you're done with it.
hi i have changed. ro.entitlement to flase and reeboted, but it says too much battery and when you press yes it just closes. how is supposed to run when you have it right?

Well, if you changed it to "flase", then I'd imagine it not working.
Anyway, there is no "indication" that the hotspot is working, you need to verify that it is working by trying to connect to it via a computer.

1. I would like to know your process of rooting with gingerblur on 1.83
2. I have added false to that line, what do you mean by add tether to what APN?
3. would you have detailed instructions? like step by step vs. this vague info is just hard to follow.
I have had the best luck by simply changing the apn of att tether to "phone" from "broadband" using a SQL editor.
This allows mms and text messing to dynamically chose the correct apn (no manual downloading mms messages) and they icon works.

Those instructions are completely, patently obviously crystalline. You should go google your google os then reread. Seriously, don't ask to be served on a silver platter. Read, understand and ask for specific clarification on a step that confuses you if google and forum search fail you. Rooting is well documented. Get unlazied for that one. Which apn should you consider adding tether to? Probably the one you are using, common sense would dictate. (Further extension of common sense states that you might need to make a new apn that is a copy of your current one with changes for this.)
Mine worked without adding tether to my apn! I don't know that this particular step is necessary. I've downloaded several hundred MB's through my phone on Steam without adding tether to my apn, but YMMV.

I suppose it's not available in tasker after all. Weird BC I thought nothing was off limits in the app http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-apps/538920-how-can-tasker-programed-toggle-hd-voice-lg4-widget.html
So unless you're a developer, I suppose there is nothing you can do to get a volte widget.
I know this is an old thread, but I came across it because I was looking for the same feature. I have Verizon, and I have a Network Extender in my house to get normal service. Well, one of the downsides of using an Extender is that you have to have your Advanced Calling turned off to connect to it. Because I want to toggle it on and off frequently, I wanted a widget on my desktop. So I found a solution after trying a few apps.
Solution:
1) download app called "Quick ShortcutMaker"
2) on top, change search from "incremental search" to "normal search"
- this is easier, because you would think you could access it through settings, but you can't because its not there
3) type in "advanced calling" and search, you'll get two matches
4) choose the 2nd one which is labeled "Phone -> Advanced Calling -> com.android.phone/com.android.phone.VzwAdvancedCallingSettings
5) put that shortcut on your desktop and now you have a quick toggle to jump to that page and turn it on and off. Its not an official toggle, but it does save you several screens
PS: you can do the same for WiFi calling. Just make sure when you search that you search for "Wi-Fi calling", the hyphen is important. It's also under the phone category.
