Turning on/off Mobile Data in Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)

[SevillanaLaura]

Just another issue I've found with 4.2.2 - How can I turn on and off mobile data on my GS4 now? I don't see the tab in my settings or shortcuts anymore. I'm not sure if it turns off when my wifi is connected (despite how that's also now "unstable"), but I can't figure it out. Any help here?

Welcome to Android Central! I can't help you directly with that, since I don't have an S4. But I can suggest a good toggle widget like Power Toggles, which allows you to put a customized toggle bar (including a mobile data toggle) in your swipe down notification shade.

Are the status bar pull down toggles not available?

A Google search brings up a number of threads describing the same lack of mobile data toggle in the quick settings, which sounds like it actually went away with 4.3.

My wife's S3 is on 4.3 and has the status bar pull down toggles.

Does it have the mobile data toggle? If so, there might also be differences in the updates on different carriers.

Shouldn't it look like this?

Or is it not there for you in the drop down menu?

I have 4.4.2, and they removed the mobile data toggle, but you can still turn off mobile data by going to settings (an option when you "pull down" from the top of the screen) then go to Connections (usually the default), then Data Usage, then there is check box for Mobile data.

But removing the toggle doesn't make sense. Seems they are trying to make things more complex all the time as the data toggle changes place in many versions.

It's not removed. You have to either scroll left to find it, or drag it up into your active toggles. Use the pic from KolorMe as a reference. I thought they'd taken it out also.

It is removed in 4.4.4. My toggles match the screen print above (post #8) except for NO mobile data and GPS is now named location.
