Anyone else notice that LTE OnOff doesn't seem to work since the OTA (which added a CDMA/LTE toggle under network settings)?
It brings up the screen like it always did, but changes you make don't seem to stick. Doesn't really matter since you can do it from Settings now, but still interesting.

Is there an app or something that allows me to switch between 2g and 3g networks? I have a widget which takes me directly to the settings but I would love an app that I could use instead. Especially something that could for instance switch automatically on location change using something like locale or Settings Profile.
I am rooted if that helps.
Thanks
Needn´t app.On screen dial you type *#*#4636#*#*,and switch it in there

right on, but isn't there a "beautiful" widget or something similar that simply toggles between the two?
here is one i use
2G-3G OnOff
Thanks for the replies, but it's not quite what I am looking for. I already use the widget ghostrida suggests, but really I want a way to either change it directly from the home screen or even better a way to change it using locale or something similar so when I get home and am on WiFi, the phone will automatically switch to 2g networks saving my battery - especially as I have poor 3g reception at home.
Thanks

I dont believe it is allowed any longer in the android sdk due to security issues. I could be wrong though I know a lot of the settings where moved to a secured section.
What you could do is create a contact with the number mentioned above and add it to your homescreen as a widget. If you want to get really in depth with it, you could add a picture of something that would signify edge for you (i.e. a 2g icon or something) and it would show up like that on your homescreen.
Setting it as a contact doesn't work, ive tried that before.
closest solution is an app in the market known as phone info
I use an app c alled switch network type 2g/3g it's not quite what you're looking for, but instead of being a widget it shows up in the notification bar only when you drag it down. it doesn't automatically change it for you, but it also doesn't take up a spot on your homescreen and it's available anywhere the notification bar shows up.
I'm after a way to be able to switch from GSM Only - WCDMA/GSM Auto.
Plenty of widgets that claim they do it, but most of them are "Mobile Data" switches, which I find useless as I can do that from my status bar...
Not even sure if its possible on a stock 2.3.3...might have to be rooted...
Thanks in advance.
Yea you will need a rooted phone as far as I am aware

What about extended controls?
I think it can do the trick.

Have you tried following:
Home -> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks(Set options for roaming, networks, APNs) -> Network Mode dropdown
My IS is not rooted(or I'm not aware of it) and it is possible to change network mode.
Hi
Just press "Phone" and enter *#*#4636#*#* under "Phone information" you can change it.
Could you indicate what you are trying to do?
Only switch between GSM & CDMA for internet usage?
Or to turn 3g/2g internet connection on-off?
Ok, sorry... It seems like I haven't explained myself right here...
OK...
I am totally aware of what options there are in the settings...but thank you none the less for pointing those out though seriously.
Currently, this is what I do to change it (Mobile Network Settings)... I wasn't saying I cant change it haha. Misunderstanding. My apologies...
I am just after a widget that does it for me basically... from...
"WCDMA/GSM Auto (or just WCDMA)" -----too---- "GSM Only" ----and vice versa...and so on...
I hope this makes sense...
Thanks again, in advance guys.
It makes perfect sense, but I don't think its possible.

Hrmm, yeah I'm starting to realise that...unfortunately...
I'm still going to try some stuff. A friend suggested "Toggle 2G"...but i cant seem to find it on the market... The add on for it is there but, not that actual app...weird...
Under HTC widget, there is one for the on/off for 3G.
I don't have an on/off HTC 3G/2G toggle widget

On the main screen, touch the personalize button.
Touch widget.
Touch Browse all HTC Widget.
By default it is number 50/71 widget.
My unmod IS have this.
The topic is about switching between 2G and 3G not switching mobile data on or off.
Thanks for your reply man. But unfortunately there's no such thing. There's a mobile data switch, which has nothing to do with GSM or wcdma.
Thanks anyway.

I only have 66 HTC widgets and 2g/3g is not one of them. Very strange.
I guess IS from different countries differs.
I have that widget and it works fine for me.
It does toggle between 2G/3G. Tried and Tested.
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
Is there any way I can toggle between 2G/3G networks? Just to save some battery and data usage.
Thanks!
There's 2g-3g onoff widget by curvefish in Google play look there.

Hold down the data toggle in the notification bar. It should get you to data settings menu

Thanks, got it. So in "Network mode", GSM/WCDMA would be 3G if possible, "GSM only" is 2G. :victory:

In Cyanogenmod ROMs it´s possible to create a power toggle that switches between 2G/3G without having to enter the Mobile networks menu (one click switch). Is anything similar possible with the stock ROMs?

There are various apps that create shortcuts to the menu of mobile networks, but I haven't found anything quicker than that.
Does anyone know of a 5g 4g toggle / widget or easy way to change the network setting for the pixel 5? I don't see an easy way to do it without jumping through the settings menu hoops but I could be missing something. Running on t-mobile USA if that matters.
how do you do it through the menu?

Settings - Network & internet - Mobile network - Preferred network type
Then choose the toggle of the network you want to use 5g LTE 3g or 2g
I was just hoping to be able to more easily switch between 5g and lte if I'm not going to be doing anything too bandwidth intensive and want to extend my battery life.
ok, so the built in app "phone services" has this activity called radio info. you can create a shortcut to it using nova launcher for example, or other apps that let you create shortcuts directly to activities. there's a drop down menu there that lets you change the 4g/5g (and 3g and 2g too). it's not a one click solution, but it's much faster than the other way (like 2-3 clicks).
Hey u can change it in phone info
Then set preferred network type if u don't know these setting do not mess it.
