Does anyone know of a widget that will allow you to quickly enable/disable the 3g radio? I like to micromanage my data connection to save battery life.
I have tried several apn widgets with no luck. Any help here is appreciated?

The stock power saving widget has it. Can control several other items as well

The power widget doesn't control mobile data, sadly.

I've always used SwitchPro to manage all of my connections. It's nice to have WiFi, gps, 4g, 3g and bluetooth all in one widget.
Is there a tool to turn off the cellular entirely? With the GPS chip and offline maps, this phone could be used for backpacking, so it would be nice to turn off cell as you wouldn't need that anyway.
Hold down the power button for airplane mode and data toggles

Our power menu only had airplane not data.

Does anyone know of a way to control the app wifi tether with the stock hotspot widget?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I use SwitchPro widget.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
SwitchPro, or perhaps Beautiful Weather. Forget if it has a Hotspot widget or not. I know it does have everything else though.
How do you configure SwitchPro Widget to control Wireless Tether? I just tried and it activated Sprint Hotspot instead.
I would like to know too

I'm still wondering how you configure SwitchPro Widget to control Wireless Tether.
I guess there is no answer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'd just make a nice looking shortcut to it using Desktop Visualizer..Something like the attached icon, for launching the app.
Wireless Tether as in the built-in tether, or the Wireless Tether for Root Users app? I know Extended Controls can be used to toggle the built-in Android hotspot (i.e. not Sprint's).

The Extended Control (paid app $.99) power widget does this. I am using it currently.

It uses wifi tether for root?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sorry, I misread your OP. The 'Extended Control' uses the Sprint Mobile Hotspot. (No, I am not subscribing to Mobile Hotspot plan from Sprint but it works for me). I am rooted and running latest Calkulin's custom ROM.

I have tried several roms and settled on fresh but have never been able to get wifi tethering through the hotspot always had to download pre9

Nandroid and give Calkulin's ROM a try. That is what I am using. It works on his ROM and can be turned on and off using Extended Controls widget. No hassles.

Don't know if it's what you're looking for but I used "ShareSwitcher" in the market.

Hi I'm running eg22 and I'd like to force my phone into roaming sometimes, for instance when I have 1 bar of sprint but my friend has 5 bars of verizon...instead of my phone switching to and from roaming when I so much as blink. I know sprint has been known to cancel contracts when over 300 and some odd megabytes have been used in roaming..so maybe a program that let's me roam at the push of a button and also logs data usage. Please help!!! Thank you so much in advance!

Yeah I was looking for something more homegrown. I'd love it if someone became motivated from the idea and decided to release something through xda. I really have grown to value this community. Apps seem to evolve faster on here.

For those of you that have good lte/ehrpd service in your area I found a little trick to turn on lte only and ehrpd only mode.
Go into ##data# select edit, select others, then select HDR/1x selection I found this out today. Sorry if in wrong thread, a good way to check if you have lte in your area try the sensorly app free on play store
I dont have HDR/1x section!?

thanks...i already know I have lte in my area but we dont have ehrpd and I have been looking for a way to turn it off. on the evo lte tirning it off drastically improved 3g speeds
still playing...so far turning it off does not stick.

Have you tried going to data edit ehrpd menu then select ehrpd you should be able to turn it off like that

those playing with this note...phone calls will not work on lte only
indeed...doesnt seem to stick unless i choose cdma only. wife distracted me tho so havent seriously toyed with it.
hybrid seems to stick...ehrpd stays off and most consistant 3g connection
cdma only was garbage (.02 down and .04 up)
going to test more tomorrow from other locations.

well...so far hybrid may make a difference if there is no lte available... but my tests really have shown nothing conclusive.
for me in my area (lte) it apears to work best on the default setting.
still a cool menu to play with

When I turn on my data it switches between 3g and 4g and I can't even figure it out
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That is how it is supposed to work, nothing to figure out.
My gfs phones never switches or anything my phones does all the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What is she on and it never switches to what? If she hasn't updated her modem it will stay on 3g all the time. It is like this on every AOSP rom for our phone. Unless there is a theme that edits it out.
If speedtest says it's fine, it's fine.
It just switches from 4g to 3g all the time but I guess I'll have to live with it

Does any one know what the eyeball with eyelashes up on my notification is? Also why when using Boat browser or any other browser it won't download video no more thru my regular data but it does thru my wifi? I had the G2 and it would work fine, just switched and it's not working any more.

i believe it is the smart stay or smart scroll

It defaults to WiFi automatically (if it's available) to save use on your data plan. You can configure it to use data connection only in the advanced WiFi settings, not sure why you would want to, but the option is available.
And yes, the eye is smart stay/scroll etc... , you can turn it off by going into controls >smartscreen >smartstay. Keeps the screen on as long as it detects your looking at it ..
