2G/3G toggle possible? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
is it possible to have this kind of switch on a rootet desire? The Redux ROM seems to have this feature but other roms dont. On the Market are no such apps, there are only shortcuts
To be clear, i dont want to disable the mobile data. I just want to be able to swich between 3G and 2G with one click.
Thanks for Help

This should work:

or this:

Are there some other apps?
The first one is doing the switching automaticly, the second is just a shortcut to config.

You definately did not try any of them, because if you did, then you should know by now, that the first one has the option in the menu to "Switch back 3G Manually". This is all for now.
And no there no official apps, because this feature is not enabled in Android. MAybe if google enables then there will be a proper app.

Well i definitely tried them both. And i saw this "Switch back 3G Manually" option but it didnt work on my rom (Reflex 1.9.5). As i said its not exactly a "manuall switch" it does automatic switching to 2G wich i dont want to happen.

The cyanogen ROM has a power widget which allows you to switch between the two manually...

Yes and Redux too but i'm using Reflex rom and there is no such feature

Ah I see - I know tasker has the capability of switching between the two and it's sister app Zoom allows you to create widgets that call tasks created in tasker. Not tried it but maybe something to look into

Did you dowloaded everything for the program? Because, if you download the plug-in, it allows you to create a home widget and you can switch easily between 2G/3G. At least on Froyo (ImsertCoin Data++)
Maybe the GB/Sense ROMs don'tt support it.

Yes i did, but the widget didnt work. Maybe its because of GB.

Yes, then the app is not supporting GB ATB (worked on 2.2.1 froyo).

I'm pretty sure widgetsoid does this but I haven't used it since rooting about 6 months ago!
It's free from the market.

Nope it does not: http://jaumard.android.free.fr/widgetsoid/index.php?lang=en_EN

You're right, it's a shortcut only - apologies!

Any news?
Hi,
I also tried to find a working toggle widget for Gingerbread sense roms. Nothing found yet Maybe we have to wait until devs could add it to the quick menu..

Did you try tasker and zoom?

Not yet, will try it - THX
EDIT: Could not try because I had to buy tasker for 4,50€. Maybe I'll try when I am at home. Perhaps I find a free alternative in the meantime, I'd let you know.

You can download tasker for free off the devs website (7 day trial).

I did it a direct purchased for £3.50. Best app I've bought.

Working mobile data widget for ADW launcher?

Have tried beautiful widgets and apn on/off and neither allow me to turn mobile data on or off!
Any suggestions would be most appreciated?
Use a custom ROM like CyanogenMod, it has widgets to do this.
try switchpro, it works for me

Do you mean turn the mobile network off or mobile data? I don't think any turn the mobile network off but I know extended controls and widgetoid 2.x turn data off by renaming your APN.

Yeah it's a pain. I want one to be able to turn mobile data on and off but it seems there are no widgets that will work with a launcher that turn mobile data on!

I've already been around the block with roms and am happy with my current leedroid 2.4 rom (the most stable i've come across)
Is CyanogenMod a gingerbread rom? Whilst I admire the developers of all roms I've just ran out of patience with gingerbread roms as they all seem to go pear shaped eventually and am fed up keep backing up and flashing roms on a regular basis. I'm waiting for the official gingerbread release as I believe the roms will be far more stable when this is out.

[Q] direct switch 2G / 3G

Hi, would you know a widget / application that could switch between 2G/3G directly, without asking the user to select the network on a settings page?

Managed to get that on the Hydr0genMod rom via the power control widget that came along with it.

Wrong place to post this question mate, should be in Q&A
But look up widgetsoid, there's a swich I use in there and it comes with customisable widget switch things, it was exactly what I was looking for and I've now been using it for months =)

same thing with "widgetsoid", only a shortcut, despite it seems to be a great app !
edit: I just read on android SDK doc that the function to use to set the value of choosing 2G or 3G is readonly...
So the answer to my question will be "no" until an Android version of the framework has got this functionnality available in its SDK.
Thanks for your anwers

This is available on Cyanogenmod...

Is there a widget or profiles app with capability to switch between 2G and 3G?

I think title says all
Profiles app would be better, I tried with Atooma, AutomateIt, Smart Profiles, Battery Doctor Pro, but nothing allows me to switch directly between 2G and 3G.
I would use it because 2G uses a lot less battery than 3G so when I don't need mobile data (e.g. under Wifi) i would set a profile with 2G+WiFi On, elsewhere 3G+Mobiledata On+Wifi Off.
Thanks in advance for your help mates!
I use Tasker a lot and used to be able to do this switch with my Nexus One (CM7). Not possible on my HTC One. At least not with stock kernel. If someone knows how to make it possible or say why it isn't, I would be grateful.

It doesn't :crying:
Copying from the app description:
Auto Answer Call, Control Media, Display Notification, Delete SMS, Enable/Disable Bluetooth & Connect to Audio Device, Enable/Disable Auto Rotate, Enable/Disable Auto Sync, Enable/Disable Data, Enabled/Disable GPS (*), Enable/Disable Wifi, Enable/Disable Wifi Hotspot, Forward SMS, Kill Application (*), Launch Application, Make Call, Open Website, Play Sound, Popup Message, Reboot/Power Off(*), Record Microphone, Say Current Time, Send SMS, Set Brightness, Set Airplane Mode, Set Keyguard (**), Set MacroDroid Mode, Set Ringtone, Set Screen Timeout, Set Volume, Set Wallpaper, Share Location, Sleep Before Next Action, Speak Text, Take Picture, Upload Last Photo, Vibrate
This is the actions set configurable in the app..
Then try Tasker,
it's ultimate tool for android a bit hard to learn at begining but then.... nothing is impossible.
E.g. i have profiles based on my location ( according to gsm antennas around my home ), day time or calendar.

Tasker is great and well worthwhile to learn to use, but it is not possible to switch network mode on stock kernel. I will try other kernels this summer and report back if I find one where it works.

That doesn't change network mode unfortunately, it just inhibits mobile data. Thank you for your effort nonetheless!

Yup, i dig in more, and it seems it needs Cyano cause special API permissions.
I still wonder if it is achievable through some 3rd party...
I just installed Experimental kernel. It is great, but lacks this 2g/3g switch capability.

It works. I use it with Tasker on my HTC One. Use it with ViperOne and now on AxisOne.
I have now tested it and it works well. There was no need to resign the ROM. Great!

[REQUEST] App 2g/3g Switcher

I'm looking for an app that switch 2g/3g. or someone who makes an app that adds to HEQS the switch 2G/3G. In the "Rom" Viper One of this is available, but I would like to have this switch in other ROMs, type InsertCoin or other!
Thanks to anyone who will help me
I used Tasker for this when I was traveling through areas of bad reception, you can also create a widget for that.

Thanks for a Reply ,but I am looking for some mod Having 2G/3G in HEQS ... How about viper rom ...
In any case, your answer may be the solution, as long as they will not do this mod
I do not know about any mod, even tough I searched, that's why I posted the tasker solution - not the best, but works better, than going into *#*#4636#*#* and change it ?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Install Viper One, and Look HEQS
If you don't want to flash a new rom, the tasker widget really is your best bet. I've been looking for a long time for something like this and i've always been told it was impossible through an app, they just redirect you to the settings.

Network toggles (2g/3g/4g)

Hi there,
in the past in the cm and other roms I had those quick toggles available, nowadays I can't seem to find them working on the OP3. I know about gravitybox and such, but those do not seem to be working flawlessly at all (though I'm not sure as it's been since OP1 i even tried)
What roms do still support that ? Or is android not making it possible anymore ?
I never posted this question, but can't seem to find same question either ...
Is this only me or have I been looking in wrong place ?
Thx for any help!
I'm currently using exodus rom
you can use the app "power toggles" for it. it works fine.

what version of android do you have ? I see a lot of comments of toggles no longer working as well ...
As I thought... No 2g/3g/4g toggle there...
I'm using this with Tasker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.togglenetworktype
It also works without Tasker as a widget.
This is best app to toggle Network modes.
Its also free for xda users
Also have tasker support

it's same app as above but its free if you download through xda

I used to use it earlier on my moto x play running 6.0.1. it had 4g toggle and it works fine on it. I've not tried it yet on oneplus 3 as i keep my phone on 4g all the time.
