Is there a shortcut or widget to simply turn off/on the data roaming option?
It would be so much easier than going through home/ settings/wireless & network/ mobile networks
thank you
I use widgetsoid 2x.There is a option to add shortcut for system activities.
Also you can download a handy little app called 'Anycut' from the market which lets you create a shortcut to more or less any function. I use it for turning ON/OFF background data.

i have try widgetsoid x2 but system activities is limit, i don't see data-roaming only , there are network ,2g/3g , however can you explain me how?
I have also Anycut, ilt should be but with 2 actions , when i run shortcuts and i must enable the ratio . what's the name system activies for this?
Thank you
use the 2g 3g toggle from CurveFish. its very simple and neat app.
when you open the widget, u will be taken to mobile network settings page, when you can turn on/off the data roaming.

Can anyone lead me to how I can make a Widget with Tasker to Toggle On/Off Data Use and Roaming?

I don't know how to with Tasker, but it can be done with Widgetsoid, which is free.
You select to make a widget on your homescreen, choose switcher, and then select "Enable/Disable Mobile Data" on the network tab.
I figured it out and made a Widget with Tasker. I would like to edit this Widget but don't know how or even if you can edit a Widget once you have created it.
i used to have a widget on my htc hero that could turn on/off mobile data network aswell as wlan, gps and so on, think it was called power manager.
But after i migrated to the lg optimus 2x, no such option is available, even tho it appears to be the same widget as on my old phone.
I tryed searching for this but could not find anything useful, so i ask you guys if you heard of anything that could enable/disable mobile data network.
I would love to get the option in the status bar next to the current toggles (wlan, gps, rotation and so on), but a widget would suffice.
Cyanogen rom has the options to toggle all that.
For stock rom check in the market place for APNON widget
As a widget I use widgetsoid and would recommend it. You can customise what is on it and also the look to a certain extent. Been good for me
my first post was a bit unclear..
The other toggles i list in my first posts are already in the drop-down status menu, the one im missing is the mobile data network toggle.
i´ll check the widgetsoid, thanks for the hint!
Or try "Elixier", lots of toggle functions.
Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=bt.android.elixir&feature=search_result
Try quick settings
I would recommend Widgetsoid.
Elixir is good in function, but it uses a lot of power. My battery drained twice as fast with Elixir compared to Widgetsoid..
Does anyone know if there is a widget capable of toggling the 4g on and off?
I haven't found a widget but you can switch between 4g/3g in this menu...
Settings > Wireless & Network settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
That's been my current method, but i'm looking for something much faster for when I know ill be watching nfl live stream or using the market.
I have not found one either. Extended controls has the controller widget but I don't think it's updated for Bionic yet. Errors saying your device is not 4g-capable.
Have you tried Power Control Plus? I don't know if it's compatible with the Bionic (and I haven't seen any upgrade notices for it recently), but I believe it had a 4G toggle available.
The app "LTE Switch" is good. throw a shortcut on the homescreen and it takes you directly to the settings to turn it on/off

In my opinion this works good. it also gives you the choice for 1ex (cdma only) in those areas (like my work) where the phone is trying to access 3g but cant.
So you have the option to go 1ex, 3g or lte.
I just downloaded LTE switch and I agree that it works well enough for now.
Zdbox network widget works as well
Do you know any mean to switch automatically from 3G with data to 2G without data and vice versa with only one click?
Notification toggle or power widget.
we will miss you Nicholas.... /s

Thanks for a suggestion, but on neither Notification Toggle nor Power Widget (lite) I couldn't achieve my desired function. Could you clarify how to do it?

use an app like Tasker or AutomateIt pro to create a profile with the following tasks:
1. Switch Data 2G/3G
2. Turn Data Off
Create a shortcut for this profile in your homescreen, and use it as your toggle widget.
Tasker has a HUGE range of features, but AutomateIt pro Is much easier to use, and is cheaper!
Also, automateit has a FREE version, which has features enough for you.
Hope i helped!

I can't find in AutomateIt Free 2g/3g or Data on/off trigger/action. Will take a look at tasker.
Try using the "Set Mobile Data Action" on AutomateIt
I think it's there. Check again.

I appreciate developer's feedback. But what would trigger set mobile data?

That depends on how/when you want to disable or enable data.
Some users use the screen on trigger to enable data and screen off trigger to disable data (conserves battery) - you can download these rules from the app built-in rules market:
Data off when screen is off
Data on when screen is on
Others use the wifi state trigger so when there is a wifi connection data will be disabled:
WiFi On, Mobile data Off
On top of this - if you don't have a specific trigger for that and you want to control it manually from your home page, you can use the "Manual Trigger" and create a widget that runs the rule to enable or disable data on the device.

Create a rule with two actions:
1. Switch to 2g
2. Turn if data.
add a shortcut to home screen.
Click on it to turn if data AND switch to 2g.
Create another one with two rules:
1. Switch to 3g
2. Turn on data.
Add this second shortcut also to home screen.
DONE.

2G/3G toggling is not supported on AutomateIt, but if you disable data - why do you need to switch to 2G ?

oh. My bad then. Sorry
But switching to 2g is important, cuz (at least here in India) 3g network doesn't have much coverage....I can get Upto 2 bars on 3g at home, but full signal when I switch to 2g.

As ykumar00 written - I have poor 3G coverage in my home place, so switching to 2G lets me be always available and helps preserve power (poor signal = searching for Cell Towers).

Tasker can easily do this...

Thanks. I am fooling around with tasker. Is is possible to set a 'mobile data on/off' context? I can only do "On switch to 2g/3g switch data on/off", but I would rather like to have "On data on/off switch 2g/3g" (because I have a system data on/off switch easily available).
Due to my wonderful provider (KPN Mobile in The Netherlands) I have a very very poor reception at home. Causing simple telephone conversations to be cut off. They have only one solution: indoors I should use Wifi, switch off Mobile Data plus change Network Mode to GSM only.
Indeed that works, but it is crazy to do that every time I get home. It involves 11 screentaps:
settings - Wif-Fi on - back - More settings - Mobile Networks - Mobile data OFF - Network Mode - GSM Only - back - back - back.
Then, when I step outside, I have to repeat the whole process, disbaling Wi-Fi, enabling mobile data and setting Network Mode to 4G.
Would there be a widget, or is there some simple way of programming, to replace all these taps with one?
I am on Android 4.1.2, the phone is not rooted.
Both wifi and mobile data ON / OFF are on the quick settings drop down panel at the top of your screen.

Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately there is no quick-setting for changing the Network Mode, and exactly that causes several needed screentaps, even via the quick-menu:
slide-down - Wif-Fi ON - long-press Mobile Data - Mobile data OFF - Network Mode - GSM Only - back.
So indeed, 7 instead of 11.
Still, it would be preferable to have a widget on the homescreen or some kind of script to replace this series of "keystrokes" with one tap ....
NFC task launcher
Tasker is another possible .

Right ... checked both Tasker and NFC Task Launcher. What I noticed is that no external program can change the Network Mode, due to rights-management in Android. Only one of the two can do that when Cyanogenmod is applied, and I am on stock.
So what i did now was place https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.softxperience.android.switchnetworktype&hl=en on the homescreen, from there it is only one extra tap to Network Mode.
What I would be looking for now, is one little app that toggles between Wi-Fi and Mobile Data.
Something like the G/3G switch, preferably a program to be put on the homescreen (not a widget), that with one tap simply toggles
Wi-Fi OFF and Mobile Data ON
Wi-Fi ON and Mobile Data OFF
So far I have not found such a thing ... every app I found strictly toggles either Wi-Fi or Mobile Data on and off, but not toggling between them.
