4g widget-please vote

**viper8315** · 10-14-2011, 10:34 AM

Hey everyone, I know there is the LTE switch app, but I'd really like an actual widget for the LTE radio, and I wouldn't mind paying for it. I found the following voting page over at the Beautiful Widgets developer site:

If you're also interested in this widget, please help vote for the widget to get it some popularity so that they'll implement it. You can place up to 3 votes per email address. Thanks...

Does anyone here think that ICS may allow you to setup profiles to do this? Example, when I remove from car dock stop GPS, Turn off nav., turn off blue tooth, pause podcast, turn off screen, turn off 4G, adjust sync frequency etc. I found it a pain turn off what I don't need and the turn it all back on and often forget. I get in and out of the car alot and this would help me alot.

There is a app called "Settings Profile" that will let you automate turning features on and off upon car docking. I think it costs $2 or $3.

Thanks for the link. Definitely used 3 on this. Everyone should vote.

EDIT: I'll add this, not to suggest spamming people, but if you have close friends (who are gadget-heads or otherwise), ask them to vote too.

There is a widget that works... switches between 4G and no data. Download Widgetsoid from the market, make sure the "data toggle mode" is root toggle (you do not need to root your phone), and add the "Data" widget. I have 4G on 24/7 however because the battery life is excellent... 2d to recharge on extended battery.

Hmm, I'm confused at what you typed, so I need to double check. You say switch between 4g and no data. If I take this literally, it means a widget that turns data off completely. This is not what I want, I would like a 4g to 3g toggle which is what that voting is for. If what I understood from your post is true, I would ask that you please remove your post so as not to confuse others with the intent of my posting.

I did download widgetsoid, and it does look like a really cool app. However, it does not have a working 3g/4g toggle for the bionic. It will let you turn off all data though. Please continue to vote for the beautiful widgets app update!

Widgetsoid is nice (I use it) however it does not allow a toggle between the CDMA/LTE and CDMA, which is what a 4G toggle would be.

Thats crazy .. but I use a simple app that I dont think is supported any longer but does many of those things. Its called Ear (ear project). You can set profiles to change bluetooth. wifi, notifications, ringer volume, etc .. might not do enough for you but works for me. I have a "loud" profile for the car with bluetooth on wifi off and a diff ringer with volume 100% (I have a loud car). And "work" is a diff ringer with volume low, etc ...
