The Charge has a handy control for the radio settings (wifi, gps, etc...) right after pulling down the status bar. I wish this feature would be available on the Bionic. Is there a solution for this?

Cheers,

Wi-fi switch is the only thing I found similar to it. Others have suggested stuff that puts a bar in there, but it opens up to a new window. Wi-fi switch puts a toggle in notification bar.
 
OK. This is going to sound incredibly lame, but follow me...

1. Go to your home screen. (The one with camera, and browser, etc. in the 2nd to bottom row.)
2. Place your finger on the left side of the screen.
3. Flick your finger to the right, causing your screen to move one screen over to the left.
4. You should now be on the screen that has your data usage widget.
5. Look at the 5 bar panel at the top of the screen.
6. Press buttons on that bar to your heart's content.

got a screen shot? my screens don't look like when I got the phone new, so have no idea what u are referencing in #5
 
Just checking.. you do know about the power control widget don't you?

That causes a popup window, correct? Or is that the default widget with five toggles? I am under the impression that he wants to stay in the notificatuon bar, like the Charge.

It is the "power control" widget. It comes installed by default on the home screen left of center. I'm sure you could just add it back if it has been removed.

From left to right they are...
wifi. Bluetooth. GPS. Sync. Brightness.
The first 4 toggle on or off. The brightness goes through several levels and then to auto (the icon shows A in the center)

Was not installed by default on my phone. It was on my OG Droid so I knew to go look for it.
