Default 2g 4g toggle widget?

Not sure if this has been covered here but does anyone know of a widget that we can use to switch between 4g and 2g instantly? I searched the market and saw some for the evo and Nexus S. But no universal ones.

Curvefish 2g/3g widget is about the best out there.

I haven't found any that will straight-up toggle the network state, the closest I have ever been able to find is one that takes you to the network settings.

I use 'Network' by Philipp Mangelow, which is basically a shortcut into the RadioInfo from com.android.settings.

If you find a widget that can change you from 2g/3g/4g without bringing you into a settings page, let me know

My search for this has uncovered that it is not possible to switch automatically via a widget. Maybe someone with more skill can figure it out.

I think this could be a way of saving battery...using 2g most of the time and 4g only when necessary, for example...

Whatsapp 2g, liveprofile 2g, web 4g, netflix 4g, etc

Do you think this would work?

Yes, it does work for saving battery, and I thought we were all good before the necro-thread was resurrected.

All day with light use and I'm at 80% batter life. I'm rooted now, but just using 2g instead of 4g was huge for battery power when it was stock.

i thought gsm 4g tech was all in the same radio.

cdma had a separate radio, and hogged all the battery life
