Switch 3G+Data<->2G(no data) with one click

[maludroid]

Do you know any mean to switch automatically from 3G with data to 2G without data and vice versa with only one click?

Thanks for a suggestion, but on neither Notification Toggle nor Power Widget (lite) I couldn't achieve my desired function. Could you clarify how to do it?

use an app like Tasker or AutomateIt pro to create a profile with the following tasks:
1. Switch Data 2G/3G
2. Turn Data Off

Create a shortcut for this profile in your homescreen, and use it as your toggle widget.

Tasker has a HUGE range of features, but AutomateIt pro Is much easier to use, and is cheaper!
Also, automateit has a FREE version, which has features enough for you.

Hope i helped!

I can't find in AutomateIt Free 2g/3g or Data on/off trigger/action. Will take a look at tasker.

Try using the "Set Mobile Data Action" on AutomateIt

I think it's there. Check again.

I appreciate developer's feedback. But what would trigger set mobile data?

That depends on how/when you want to disable or enable data.

Some users use the screen on trigger to enable data and screen off trigger to disable data (conserves battery) - you can download these rules from the app built-in rules market:
Data off when screen is off
Data on when screen is on

Others use the wifi state trigger so when there is a wifi connection data will be disabled:
WiFi On, Mobile data Off

On top of this - if you don't have a specific trigger for that and you want to control it manually from your home page, you can use the "Manual Trigger" and create a widget that runs the rule to enable or disable data on the device.

As I wrote in the first post:

[ykumar00]

Create a rule with two actions:
1. Switch to 2g
2. Turn if data.
add a shortcut to home screen.
Click on it to turn if data AND switch to 2g.

Create another one with two rules:
1. Switch to 3g
2. Turn on data.
Add this second shortcut also to home screen.

DONE.

2G/3G toggling is not supported on AutomateIt, but if you disable data - why do you need to switch to 2G ?

oh. My bad then. Sorry

But switching to 2g is important, cuz (at least here in India) 3g network doesn't have much coverage....I can get Upto 2 bars on 3g at home, but full signal when I switch to 2g.

 

[maludroid]

why do you need to switch to 2G ?

As ykumar00 written - I have poor 3G coverage in my home place, so switching to 2G lets me be always available and helps preserve power (poor signal = searching for Cell Towers).

Tasker can easily do this...

Thanks. I am fooling around with tasker. Is is possible to set a 'mobile data on/off' context? I can only do "On switch to 2g/3g switch data on/off", but I would rather like to have "On data on/off switch 2g/3g" (because I have a system data on/off switch easily available).
