Power Control widget

[athegn]

I have asked a similar question in the Galaxy S2 forum but this is a more general question.

On my previous phone, HTC Desire, among the most commonly used widgets were Power Control and G3 on/off - Desire had a separate widget for that.

I understand that Launcher Pro has(d) Power Control six button (included the 3G on/off) over the standard five button Power Control; trying to get it under Gingerbread.

Why do Google engineers, and the various ISPs, not consider that turning on/off these basic functions should be standard on "Smartphones"; rather dumb?

Anyway has anyone any success with getting Power Control (5 or 6 button) on non-rooted Gingerbread and/or Ice Cream Sandwich? If so how?

I can only recommend to you what i use,Notification Toggle and i love it saves on screen sapace and is also very customizable. Turn on WiFi, Bluetooth, Flashlight,data and much more from your notification bar!Notification Toggle creates notifications in the Android status bar to let you quickly switch WiFi, Bluetooth, Silent mode ect...

Thanks but looking at the website there is no mention of turning on/off 3G?

I think Quicker will do what you're looking for.

I have installed Go Launcher EX and this does everything I want in including an enhanced Power Control widget.

Glad you found what works for you,i also use Go launcher Ex as just that my launcher i don't like using up screen space with widgets and having the battery drain that comes from using them i have two widgets my calender and my music player.You should complete your launcher set up with gosms,and gocontacts.Best of luck and enjoy your day...
