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.

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).

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).

Is there a way to modify the default Power Control widget to include additional toggles.
I need a way to toggle "Settings"->"Wireless and network"->"Mobile networks"->"Use packet data" to disable data (3G/HSDPA) and save battery power when not needed.

There are apps in the market that will do this already. I use Ultimate Juice Defender myself. It has customizable schedule and settings. I keep mine set to disable data when the screen is off and disable wifi after being disconnected for more than 2 minutes.

Widgetsoid works great! And it's free!
Thanks for the suggestion.
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.
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.

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?

Hi,
New to Tasker and am absolutely amazed by it's capabilities!
Got a new Galaxy S7, which I am unable to root at this point in time.
I really need a way to toggle Mobile Data and GPS on/off.
Did quite a bit of reading and searching and only found info for rooted devices. Even tried Secure Settings, which of course needs root to toggle them.
Is there ANY way I can toggle mobile data on/off without root???
GPS will be nice as well but less critical.
Will appreciate any help.
Y.
It can be done by using AutoInput but it would require the screen to be on.
I would also appreciate some help on this too, especially the autoinput method. I got parts of it to work, like opening location settings and clicking location on if off. But I'm having trouble creating the task if location is already on. Also, the exit task is giving me fits too because every time the task runs when I open maps, it exits the app to location settings to click the on location, thus activating the exit task before I even get to use the maps haha. It basically goes on a loop for me and can't figure it out. Any help on how to configure this would be appreciated.

Is there a way to turn the screen on with Tasker?
If so, perhaps I can use the combination of Tasker and AutoInput to achieve toggling mobile data on off?
(I found Turn On under Display in Tasker but it has a cross on it so I don't think I can select it. Is there another plugin that will turn the screen on?... that is without root)

Only works if screen lock security is set to none or swipe.

Back to square one.
svampsson... That XML file is only for screen Brightness. I did try tinkering with it to have it work for location Toggle instead but it still gave me trouble. The global action on it would not go back to the app after toggling location on. Any ideas? Thanks for the help tho.
Hi,
I just installed tasker app on my Galaxy S7 Edge.
I tried to create a task to switch on GPS when running Pokemon App and then switch off once app is closed.
Task:
1. Launch App
App Pokemon Go Data %LOC
I run the task, as expected, it opens pokemon go app and 4G(gps) icon appears on the upper-left corner of my phone. But the icon won't disappear when I manually turn off the Location on Quick Settings.
Please help how to restore Location icon on-off.
Thank you

Do you have root? It is very easy to turn high accuracy GPS ON/OFF with Secure settings-plugin. If no root you can do it with Autoinput.
I just moved new from huawei to samsung. and on huawei they always had a shortcut to switch directly to 4G only. also when long pressing on the mobile data in quickpanel it took you directly to the setting page where you can change the network mode.
On samsung software i cant seem to find any shortcut to this except to go to settings > connections > mobile networks > network mode and change from there. I dont want to keep it at automatic because sometimes i am in poor reception areas and already have wifi so i need to force it to 2g only which has better reception. (to reduce battery drain)

Just use Bixby routines and create a condition or a button to trigger the change to your preferred network mode.

I have set up a bixby routine to switch network modes, and you can put a button on your homepage.
Settings > Advanced Features > Bixby Routines
If Start Button Tapped
Then Network mode (select what you want)
You can also make it revert when you unclick the button
Then on the home page, long press, add widget, add a bixby routine button, select the routine you just made

Sure. In the "if" condition choose "start button" then choose the action to switch to the preferred network mode. After that you can set a home screen button for the routine.

I have found from the galaxy store the app called widget edge that would allow you to add widgets to the edge feature.
For now this solves my problem in a way. If you think of other solutions please let me know.
