[Q] Modify Power Control widget

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.

Thanks I'll have to check it out.

The 2.2 ROMs have an option to cut off Data in the Power Menu.

Thanks for the suggestion.

GSM/WCDMA switch for Incredible-S (2.3.3) ??

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.

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.

CM9 3G data

How can I set line mode only on 3G (WCDMA) on Owain's CM9???

Have you tried this? Dial the following on your phone dialer
*#*#4636#*#*
Go into Phone information. Scroll down to the dropdown menu, and you should find WCDMA only option there.

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).

Anyone care to try this see if there's is the same.before update it just toggled on and off with out taking it in to setting menu

Seems a "bug" or a choose by HTC.

Yes, I am facing the same problem. Not only that but most other toggles don't work and if they do the status on the toggle doesn't change.
Some third party widgets are not supported and they freeze.
