I'm using the Extended Control app to activate some of the phones functions.....However, I need to be able to quickly toggle Mobile Networks on and off without going through the settings menu. Extended Control has a function to toggle APN, but this doesn't affect the Mobile networks.
Can anyone help me out here please.
Thanks.

I'm using Direct Mode but it doesn't switch on Mobile networks. Can't get my head around the rename APN mode.
try this
you need to first manually set in the settings->wireless and networks, the mobile network flag to on; after that set the mode to apn toggle (check that your apn settings are correct, they might have been modified!)
your extend control will work now to activate/deactivate mobile network

My old device was htc wizard. There was an option to disable gsm (phone) only. Is there any way to do this in g1? I just want to avoid calls and in the same time to use wifi. Airplane mode doesn't work for me, because it disables wifi too

Not quite the way you are accustomed to it, but there is a 'way' around it... you basically leave the phone on but you can turn on call forwarding... settings > call settings > call forwarding > always.
It doesn't turn the phone off but it won't ring either.

i was wondering the same thing, there might come out with a fix for this in the next update.
demontefixo, i was using the same solution, but I hoped for real solution to disable GSM. Anyway I will just wait
PS: This device is amazing I'm so happy with it. I wasn't using windows on my computer and laptop, and now i am completely MS free
Install anycut and Create a Software to Hidden Application named Phone Info, their you can see the Phone or Radio disable type of option. I have Tried it
It can actuall disable Radio and keep the Wifi on, But i could not renable radio and must have to reboot the phone.
Through the same Phone Info shortcut you can enable it to use WCDMA only or just prefer WCDMA or use GSM only. I think that is what mony87 was looking for.
Or you can go to:
Settings
Mobile networks
Operator selection
If you only see T-Mobile then Search Networks.
Select a non subscribed Network like ATT
It will tell you you your SIM card does not allow a connection...
But if you don't re-select TMobile the Phone Connection will turn off.
To get your Phone Connection back, just select TMobile

I thought I had the same issue but you actually can re-enable the radio after you turn it off...it just takes a while...
Bring up the dialer, type in: *#*#INFO#*#*. Shouldn't need to hit enter. Scroll all the way down, and hit "Turn off radio".

Works fine for me.
Tho i do hope a app or a fix for this in any near update
I've been trying to get a juicy theme going on but I'm having real trouble finding a switch to allow direct access to allow me to switch mobile data on and off.
SwitchPro doesn't allow me to do it, both "Data Connection" and "2g 3g" only switch it off for a few seconds and then it pops back up. If I then go into settings, Wireless, Mobile network shows as being ticked, yet says "Connection failed" - It is of course connected and functional.
Extended Controls 2g/3g and Data Network do exactly the same.
There is, of course, the native Sense UI widget...so how hard can it be if you don't want to use Sense?
Is there a widget out there that will allow me to directly switch Mobile Network (data) on and off from the homescreen?
Currently on latest Mocado R8 custom bake.
i had that problem before as well..what i did is remove the defualt apn and add them back manually..and the problem solve..u can try on this method..
Try APNDroid:

you can change switch pro's settings to make it do the same thing as APNDroid too.

Could you give me a quick step-by-step?
Will try apnDroid too, thanks guys.
EDIT - apndroid simply disables it for a few seconds, it then reconnects.
widget didnt do anything.
I need one because you have to press and hold the power button and it seems a bit rough on it and we all know that these little buttons always go bad so a widget would be great for relieving the burdon on the power button.
any other suggestions, for a rooted evo?
Upgraded to 2.1 and first impressions are rubbish!
Why get rid of the enable/disable Data from the dragdown bar. How do I do this on 2.1?
Like this.
Go into settings > Wireless & network > Mobile Networks > Data Traffic.
After selecting / de-selecting that, the option will then appear in the drag-down bar.
The same way you'd do it on 1.6.
But that's not disabling 3G, that's just stopping apps from using your credit. To truly disable 3G, you'd have to change network mode to something like GSM, or 2G (I don't get that here in Australia, but I think it might be an option in other countries, I'm just guessing).
And... You'll learn to love 2.1 if you downgrade to 1.6 again, and find that your phone is performing horribly.
or just install curvefish apn switch
Or add the data widget to your home seen........

I use "3G widget" : it works realy good.
You can start / stop 3G manualy or let it turn it automatically on / off when you light up / off the screen.
I don't know why but it put 2 icons in the apps... useless for a widget to even have one when there are no properties to change.
I would want to ask are there any apps/widgets that can place a short cut for me to toggle between 3G(HSDPA) and 2G and Auto? Basically it serve the same function as going into
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Network Settings -> Network mode -> Changing between WCDMA, GSM and GSM/WCDMA auto.
So far, the closest I can get to is some apps, such as extended controls, bring me to the Mobile Network Settings page, which then I would have to press Network Mode and change it from there. I have used CM7 for a brief while but reverted back to a sense rom after a month, as I prefer using some of the sense stuff. CM7 have a Network Mode toggle in the quick switch and it works exactly as I wanted it to.
But now I'm on ARHD, which like every other sense rom, doesn't have Network Settings in the quick settings menu. Hence, I am wondering if there are any apps or widgets that allow you to instantly toggle between WCDMA, GSM and GSM/WCDMA Auto. Does anyone know of such an app?
Try a search in Market.
Or use this:

Hi everyone,
Obviously, I know where to find the setting that allows you to switch between LTE/GSM/WCDMA to, say, just WCDMA. But is there a tool that would allow me to switch that mode from a widget or quick setting tile? My commute features varying degrees of network congestion on LTE, so I like to switch back and forth. I'd just like for that process to be something I could do more quickly.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I don't think so as far as I know. Best option I've found is keep the code in a text file and copy paste into the dialer and change from there.

On the pull down shade there is a data toggle. Press and hold to go directly to that setting screen.

I had no idea how to select network mode, thanks to your working code I was able to select gsm only network and save my old non LTE supported sim card from randomly searching for signals on a lte supported network and draining my battery like hell!
THANK YOU for your working code :good:
