Help How to Activate/Deactivate 'Mobile Network'

[daytripper]

I've just spent about an hour trying to find a widget/app that would let me turn off mobile network (Wireless & networks>mobile network tick box)

All the apps out there seem to be a shortcut to Wireless & Networks > Mobile Network Settings which isn't what I need to activate to turn on/off the mobile network.

I'm on a pay as you go service, and just need an easy way to activate/deactivate the internet connection.

Something like Long press Screen - Widget - Settings- Data.
If you would like to turn Internet off only when the phone is off, try look up juice defender.
If you want to completely shut down all data including calls/texts etc Then hold the power button and press Airplane mode

hope this helps some what.

I don't have the LongPress>Widget>settings coming up, so can't follow that line of action.

I'd like a shortcut to tick/untick the mobile network tickbox without having to go to wireless networks>mobile networks every time (this takes about 304 clicks/scrolls to achieve right now, can't think of any reason I shouldn't be able to do this with a single click)

Thanks for your reply!

Long press the power button and a menu will appear. In that menu is an option to turn off the mobile network.

When you want to turn it back on, just repeat the above procedure.

Press "+" button on the bottom right of your screen > press "Widget" > scroll down to "Settings" > finally, select "Mobile Network" - done. This will place a toggle widget for your data radio on your screen where ever you want to place it.
P.S. There are other useful ones too - I use 8 of them.

If you can't get the widget, this is probably the next best option.
Though I don't get why your struggling to place a widget if I'm honest.
