Anyone know of a widget to switch between 3G and 2G? I hate having to trawl through the settings menus.

It's not possible. Even the widgets on the market will direct you to the settings screen to make the adjustment

switchpro widget should do it mate got few other things on it aswell
There's one by curve-fish that'll take you to that menu, but i don't like the logo much. Search on the market-place, and you should find some apps.
Great app available
There is one in the Market place that just does in one click.
Search for "3G Toggle"
App name : Toggle data Widget
App By : Cameron Murphy
thanks for the advice guys, I'll check them out

Does anybody know where I can get a widget to switch between the two?

You wont find one. Its just not possible as Android doesnt permit that. Sorry mate...

There is the 2G-3G Widget
I use "Network" by "Philipp Mangelow". It doesn't auto switch but it gives you quick access to the network settings so you can switch between the two (faster than navigating through menus I find).
I haven't tried the 2g-3g application from CurveFish, but last time I checked it recommended not using it with the Desire, may have changed now. Best of luck =D
I know, I saw that. It mentioned not to use it with the Droid too and that was my phone before I've just got the Desire.
I've used it with both and all seems well. Again, it just takes you straight to the setting as opposed to being a toggle switch. But its a shortcut nevertheless.
Not seen Network before, so will look at that. x
SwitchPro widget has this working with some ROMs - not all. I had it working on Eclair but not on FroYo.
The PowerControl widget in OpenDesire ROM allows this exactly. You might be able to install its APK and get it working. It has a 2G-3G toggle and a separate GPRS-HSPDA toggle. You can set mobile data to only be enabled if 3G is enabled too.
The CurveFish widget opens the cell settings menu for you to change between the two - not a widget toggle per se, yup.

The Power Control in CyanogenMOD does allow this, but presumably support for it has been specifically coded into the OS.

Is there a widget for the Defy that actually switches between 2G and 3G (to preserve power when its just laying on the table waiting for email) as opposed to bringing me to the network settings menu which seems to be the case for all I've used? Even better would be to get Widgetsoid to do so...
I use Extended Controls from the market which has this widget function.
Edit: widget just brings up network menu as you described. Sorry.

To my knowledge, this is not supported by Android, this, no widget can do it up to now.

+1 it's not supported by android
Then how come system settings can do it?
Didn't find a 2G/3G widget yet, but if you point an "activity" for Any Cut to "GSM/UMTS Options." I've renamed the shortcut to 2G/3G on my phone.
This launches the part of the network settings in which you can toggle 2G-only on and off.
It's not a direct toggle, but it takes only two taps to switch 3G off which is faster than navigating to settings>wireless&netwoks>mobile_networks>select_network. And with the Any Cut method you don't have to remember where to look in the settings menu, which is laid out in a very unlogical way.*
*) Really, why are Location&Security combined? Wouldn't Security&Privacy make more sense?
hey guys,is the such a mod as a power widget similar to the one already in the gingerbread widgets. i want one to go on my home menu so i can turn on/off data etc.
i no there is widgetzoid and there are small buttons in the settings menu, but is there a mod/add on like the stock one. there are aosp ones,is there sense ones?
Not much help but...
If i understand you correct there is a HTC widget called Mobile Network for this.
Add widget from home screen > Settings > Mobile Network.
No idea if this can be obtained as an individual widget for use across non-HTC devices.
I know I haven't been much help. LOL
Theres a flashable mod to get notification power widgets on sense 2.2 but not seen one for 2.3

It'll always be there for you in the future.
Is there any place to change what options are on the Power Control widget? I've found settings to be kind of a pain on this phone so far...
I was having problems setting up Google Voice to control my voice messages. I kept getting "network is not currently supported for automatic set up". All I wanted to do is find where in the settings menu the Voicemail setting was...Why did they hide it in with the "Phone" app rather then in the actual phone settings menu? Took so long to figure that one out lol...
Yeah moving the voicemail was kind of silly. You can customize whats on the power widget by using a app named Widgetsoid.

No really, not a different customizable widget...
Is there a way to change the settings on an already configured Power control widget?
I used to go about adding a new widget and deleting the old one, but that gets tedious.
I thought I found the existing widget settings somewhere when I updated to cm7.2 but now I cannot for the life of me find it ANYWHERE
I just want to choose different brightness toggles, but I do not want to go through all of the data / wifi / sync combos again...

I'm on Verizon and it doesn't support automated setup but when I clicked the help it told me to dial *something and that fixed it right up.

Just use something like widgetsoid. The stock Power Control widget has its 5 toggles and can't be changed.
Answered my question!

Thank you for the answer to my question.. I wish the setting could be changed so you didn't have to install another widget control bar.
Question #2: Is it safe to remove the Original Power Control widget .apk so I can get rid of unused apps?
Thanks!

How do you make a shortcut to the WiFi settings on the desktop? In the other Android, we were able to make shortcuts to any setting, was that removed in ICS?

Oh, so that's how it's done now. THANKS!
Hmmm, I noticed that there are no "direct" shortcuts available anymore, is this true?
Kinda sucks cuz I use Simi Clock and wanted the battery launcher to open up the Battery Setting screen.
I use widgetsoid to add toggles to the notification bar, which will also launch wifi settings directly when pressed. (or any other setting you want) it has a widget too.
