Widget for switching gsm/wcdma

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.

Widget "Power savings" from 2.3.3

Hi everybody.
Please advise:
I upgraded from XEKE2 (2.3.3) to XWKI4 (2.3.4) and then to XWKI8 (2.3.5) but XWKI4 (XWKI8 also) came with new "Power savings" widget which is very uncomfortable for me.
Device is rooted.
My data is now:
PDA: I9100XWKI8
PHONE: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100OXXKI2
How can I return (install) "Power savings" widget from XEKE2 instead of new one? Where can I find it?
P.S. I prefer when GPS toggle switches GPS on/off but does not go in GPS settings page.
Thanx in advance!

Can anybody help me with this, please?

Personally I find that new widget better than the old one, but You can always try Widgetsoid. It has far more options and switches than stock KE2 widget

Thanx, but with this app (as for all related to this apps) gps toggle goes to the settings page. This is sad. And I`d like to switch it with one click so that is why I look for solution in stock widget...

Completely agree with OP, new power savings widget is a real joke. Only two usable buttons...
As someone said before use Widgetsoid, it's really good and very customizible. Check out notification bar options ;-)

How, without root / flash?

I use Notification Toggle: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
I think it's the best one because of its customization options and the fact that I can download stock ICS icons for it. Plus, you can add apps (free, included in app) and shortcuts ($0.99 add-on). Like I have the shortcut for my AudioManager Pro Profile list in there and an icon that runs the Lockscreen app (saves pressing the power button to shut the screen off).
I'm not rooted. The only useful thing root would give me is the ability to directly toggle GPS rather than having to go to the settings page, but considering I almost always leave GPS on, I don't really care about that.

+ 1 for that......im using too and it is awesome.....

elixir2 does this also...

I also prefer Notification Toggle over Widgetsoid. Stock icons and the ability to always have it at the top of the notification screen. My only complaint is that it's a little laggy when tapping thru the brightness settings.

I use AoKp to do this without using a app....:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

If only I liked AOKP. *sigh*

Thanks for the recommendations, shall have to try these, because besides themes, the notification pulldown with a plethora of settings to play with are what I miss most from MIUI builds on the HD2.

Much easier to install a custom rom than an app right? lol
Anyway, +1 for Notification Toggle. I was using Extended Controls for it but Notification Toggle is much better since it stays on top of other notifications and it also replaces the Battery Widget that I was using to display the battery % in the bar.

so have any of these been updated so that i don't have a constant icon running in my notification bar? i don't know why but that's a dealbreaker for me.
btw, i'm not rooting yet until CM9. temporary solutions without the annoying notification icon?

Thanks OP
Forgot about widgetsoid and how awesome it is. Between this and Nova launcher gestures I now have the perfect setup for my home screen because of this.
Swipe up - brings up the app drawer
Swipe down - brings down the notifications
Home button press while on the homescreen - brings up voice search

Any idea how to change the colour of the battery icon in the status bar using the Notification Toggle app? I want to change it to ics blue.

+1 on this. What's worse is they'll give the option for no icon, but then it just leave a blank spot in the notification bar.............

That's a limitation of Android, so until Google offers a better way, that's how it has to be.

adding to notification bar 3G on and off icon

Hi guys!
I wanted to know if it is possible to add to the notification bar some shortcuts one most important that i want to add is to turn on and off the 3G (internet) do you guys know if it is possible on stock version? and if it does require a ROM then which one?
with best regards.

There are several widgets available to turn off data or select edge speed only. My question is why? Smartphones become pretty useless without a connection or at least a connection that can provide data in a reliable manner.

There should be a few roms that allow this. Look for quick panel settings in op features. I know FreeGS3 has it.
I always keep data turned off unless I am using it. Significantly improves battery for me plus I have never liked the idea of so many system apps 'checking in' without my knowing.

Hi, thanks for the replies i downloaded the wigdet to turn on or off, but i was wondering if there is any way to add it to the status bar? Couldnt find any widget that adds it as a shortcut near the wifi sign.

Long press on shortcuts of notification bar not opening more settings.

Any possibilities of long pressing on shortcuts of notification bar will open more settings ? For example if i keep pressing on WIFI shortcut it should open WIFI settings. I have not rooted my phone yet. Its running on 6.0.1. This is normally available in HTC & SAMSUNG phones.

For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth you can click on the title below the icon and it will expand to show networks and devices as well as a more settings button. At least that's what I remember of Android M. I also remember being able to long press the icons to enter the settings for the toggle. Maybe that's just for the other buttons like cellular data.

Thanks for reply. I agree those little links below WIFI and BT opens quick setting in same notification window. Then there is more setting link to open full setting options. But that is not available for location services and other shortcuts.
Also those shortcuts are hardly manageable. Only few shortcuts can be added or deleted which is also under beta. Customization option is not available. Hard to believe for 6.0 version of android.

It's "fixed" on Android N. So you have that to look forward to in October or whenever they fully release it. It's also probably available in a custom ROM if you want to go that route.

Hopefully they will fix in Android N. My Nexus 5X still under warranty. Is it worth rooting Nexus ?
