Any widget to toggle the mobile data on and off ?
If you search data toggle in the market there quite a few widgets that will do this for you. Dcswitch gets some decent reviews and has a free version. I used to use data toggle widget but occasionally had some odd results.

The problem with others is that they don't work with CDMA.
EDIT: NM it didn't work

Can anybody recommend an app to monitor my data connection ?
Similar to SPB Wireless on WM.
Any help really appreciated.
3G Watchdog.
I got a widget off the market called data counter, simple front end that sits on my home screen with lots of stats and options in the background, works good for me

NetCounter is also a good one, free on the market.

I use NetTraffic.

It seems some users said it does not work on HTC Desire.

Doesn't work for Wifi on mine, and the cell counter is WELL out as well. I've been downloading quite a bit via 3G over the last week, and it reckons I've only downloaded 1.24MB...
+1 for 3G watchdog - does what it says on the tin. Very pleased with it...
I just tried the "3G Watchdog", but I cannot see any option to "disable" it.
Once I activated by setting it, I saw the icon ets ... but I cannot de-activate / disable / turn it OFF.

Only way I know of to do it is to close it under running services and then open the app again next time you are going to use mobile data.
I just keep it on as I keep my phone on mobile data unless I need to browse the web at home as the wifi is crap for notifications, they hardly seem to work when the screens locked on wifi.
3G watchdog is great!

Can someone point me in the direction of an app that will tell me how many minutes and messages I use in a given month? Ideally one that works like 3G Watchdog with a small widget giving me the information at a glance. Thanks in advance.

Call Meter NG? No widget.
Cheers, I'll have a look. A widget would be really useful though.

Droidstats is good
Hi,
try Droidstats, really nice UI, it calibrates after the first months bill. 99% Accurate, i checked today and it was 1 min and 1 text out
if youre on orange why dont you just install the your orange app from the market it works great for me even allows you to change magic numbers and gives data usage aswell

Yeah, great UI! Thanks for sharing. I was using Call Meter NG which has no widget...
I use a widget called Tariff Watcher Widget - you can set what your free minutes/texts are each month and when the billing cycle starts and it shows a usage bar and number
I also use Data Watcher Widget to watch Data/Wifi and Roaming data usage - tapping it brings up some little icons that can be used to turn Wi-Fi on/off, get to Wireless and networks settings and seettings for the app
Unfortunately being a new user I can't post the app brain links :S
I use "phonalyzr" try it
Hey guys,
I work in an area where my 3g signal is really weak and cuts in and out. This really effects my battery quite a bit. However I have been using that # *#* number to get into the phone settings and change the setting to cdma only which seems to put my phone in 2g mode (is that true?)..and thn back to automatic to get 3g back. My question is is it possible for some of you to develop an app or a widget which could do this with a single click?
Thank you

Couldnt you do that with power widget plus? I do something similar since I'll in a bad area as well except I use it to reset my data connection so to speak.
Sent from my DROIDX
Well I have extended controls installed all I can do with that is turn off data completely..from what I gather none of the power widgets support cdma devices when switching between 2 and 3 g

You don't want to go 1x. The data rate is pitiful at 153 Kbps max.
I just use Bettercut and make a data manager shortcut and just turn off manually the internet saves more battery than 1x connection

There is an app on the market, called Network which takes you to that menu with the push of a button. No need to enter in all those #*#*#*##* digits
Another way is to use AnyCut to set a shortcut to the field test menu where all of those settings are available.
Thanks

What is the full name of the app? There are multiple apps named "network"

yea, data is internet
Thank you for the very quick response
Hi. I just started using mobile internet but my telco only give me 250MB per month. What apps do you recommend that can control the data usage? For starters I've been using android firewall to block some apps from using my data. But I would like to know more apps. And how do I block the system update OTA from using my data to check for updates?
Why not just turn off the data radio until you actually need it?

i have been using macrodroid to turn off data when screen off(and other things). But you can do this a number of ways, through settings, and long pressing on the tile in quick settings will bring up a screen to turn off mobile data to

Try This.

Just use Greenify. Best app and has really good response. If you try this you'll never go back. It hibernates lots of apps and stops them from draining batt/data in the background remember to disable notifications in the background for all internet-related apps.
Greenify also works for ALL apps. Just add it to the grenify list.
It's the only app you're gonna need and is gonna solve your problem.
Also in settings, set the Data usage limit so you don't exceed it. Good luck

I find that the built-in data usage monitor under Settings - Data Usage works really well.

Did anybody else lose the "Mobile Data" toggle on the quick setting screen after the update to 4.3? I used that toggle a ton and I vaguely recall having an issue like this when I first picked up the phone on release. Don't remember how I got the toggle back. Tips or solutions?
I have airplane mode toggle still but not the one for just mobile data.
Yea I lost it to, I guess now using settings and uncheking data.

Link to show how to add WiFi toggle. I would imagine if you know what the toggle is called for mobile data you could just add it. Must be rooted.
I'll look on mine to see what the data toggle is called in that file, unless someone else chimes in.
Edit: should work if you add this as the link directs
MobileData
I did all that and added MobileData to the list, but it's still not working.

The Verizon method is not applicable to the sprint method.
Does anyone know a method to edit the settings/script without having to install an third-party app to bring back the mobile data toggle?

I'd even take a suggestion for a third-party app at this point. Not having that toggle is driving me crazy.
I use PieControl and set one of the shortcuts to Data Toggle. It's actually faster to toggle it on with Pie Control than the pull down & click way.
Has no one figured this out yet? I'm really surprised. It seems like this would've been one of the first fixes addressed for MJA...

There is a fix. Either a dev puts it or you did it yourself. Someone above posted a reference link on how to add wifi toggle. Its the same process in adding data toggle you just need to know the name of the toggle. Its all up there really.

I added ;MobileData to my list when I added ;WiFiHotspot and it works perfectly. The Semi Colon is required between each entry.
