I just installed MaceksMod rebirth build. I get no data over the verizon network. In his old builds, there was a checkbox for enabling mobile data. I don't find that in this build. Any suggestions?

pull down status bar, go to toggles\quick settings and enable data.
Alternatively you can (from the home screen) hit menu, select system settings, go to wireless and networks and enable mobile network/data there

Also if you are on V2.0 and have never used a ICS rom before, the toggles are accessed by pulling down the status bar and then pressing the little blue icon in the top left corner that looks like 3 old analog sliders for a sound board.
Got it thanks!

Ok so those of you who own the Photon have probably noticed Motorola buried the Data Toggle option deep in menus we're not used to finding them in. None of the current Toggle / Widget apps support access to this menu with a single click.
**3G always on tends to drain your battery as it constantly searches to connect to a data signal. Turning it off when not needed will increase your battery life. Please note, this is not a 4G toggle...that is separate. This toggle will switch off 2G/3G radio only.**
EarlyMon (Android Forums) pointed out a free Toggle App, that with some exploration and trial I was able to come up with a work-around that allows a single press Data Toggle.
Here's a quick tutorial:
1. Download Widgetsoid2.x and install.
2. Long-press on Home Screen, and select "Widgets"
3. Scroll down to Widgetsoid Switcher 1x1
4. 1st option on the toolbar down on the bottom is "Network" select that.
5. Select "Mobile Data"
6. Next go to Theme...and customize the look you want for the toggle.
7. Select Apply on lower menu bar
8. A menu will pop up asking if you want to "Edit Global Preferences"...Choose Yes
9. The first Tab from top is "Data Toggle Mode"
10. Select "Root Toggle"
11. Press your BACK key...and it will return you to your Home Screen.
Done... There's your Data Toggle!
Sorry for my ignorance but why would this be needed...

Keeping your Data on consistently uses battery. The radio constantly cycles in search of data signal. Turning it off when you don't need it can boost battery life significantly.
Oh ok that makes sense... thanks for answering my question

I think this is especially helpful for those with poor signal quality that fades in and out all day long.
Good tip.
Data enabler on the market works for one touch
something i bought way back and I wasnt really impressed was switchpro widget
switchpro widget's data toggle doesnt work on photon. a shame
sweet, thanks. Is there any way to reduce the size of the icon? I couldn't find the option in Themes.
When adding it as a widget you can select its size. 1x1, 1x2, etc.

Unfortunately, 1x1 is just a little too big
You could try using Multicon widget app and make them really tiny.
TS out
Just as a heads up, I recommend you guys download Tasker if you really want to have control over your battery usage. Its not free, but that 6 bucks is worth every penny. There have been multiple articles on Lifehacker regarding this tool. I used it to create many different tasks that help reduce power draw, including a basic Mobile Data On/Off Toggle. Its an extremely powerful tool.

If you do not like the app icon you have the option of not showing the widget on the home screen but in the notifications area, give it try.

what about beautiful widgets? they have one for mobile or juice defender witch turns off data when ur screen is off and its free
I use Beautiful Widgets and the data toggle doesn't work. Most won't...have only found these two so far. I prefer a toggle over auto off on screen off, as I use my phone alot...and don't always need a data connection.
I followed OP's instructions to use Widgetsoid2.x and it worked like a charm. Thanks!
Cool - thanks developer - so this is the recommended way to "manually" turn off/on 3g? Why didn't the android OS have this built in like the other network things like, radio / wifi / bluetooth / 4g /etc?
I have installed this Rom 3 times and I can't get mobile data to work and I don't have the quick settings in the notification drop Down to enable it. The clean ics Rom works fine for me.
Also it keeps saying preparing sd in the notification
Yeah I had the same issue with data at first. Go into your settings menu and turn wifi off unless you plan on using it and then go to the data settings and enable data networks. You should get data right afterwards. As far as mounting the sd card issue I have no clue. Have you tried unmounting it manually then remounting to see if that solves the issue for you?

OT, I had to reboot once for my mobile data setting to enable. I mean actually being able to change the setting from off to on. After that...all butter.
Thanks again for all you help! I got this working. The only issues I see now are the screen flickers quite a bit and the browser goes really slow at times when scrolling. The screen takes forever to redraw
I'm using Widgetsoid to switch between 2g/3g, but it still takes 4 total clicks. Is there a 1-click option available for rooted users?
Thx!
CM9 has a 2G/3G toggle in the power widget on the status bar. One click to go to 2G preferred, another click to set it back to 2G or 3G. Easy.

Looks like you're stuck with your widget then. Unless you use something like Tasker to have it switch to 2G or 3G under certain circumstances (time/whatever) or if certain conditions are met.
Use this

Why don't you code one ? I'm sure the community would be eternally grateful.

I couldnt find an app either. One simple work around though. After selecting GSM/WCDMA mode, press the home button. The rule is to keep the current settings page in background. Switch it as and when necessary. All you have to do is to launch the Task Manager (like holding home key) and select the desired network mode. Still takes less than 3 touches.
Simple, not a concrete one though!
You could give a try to for example AOKP custom rom. You can customize status bar icons, there's a button to switch between the two modes.
Xposed
Just download xposed and then gravity box you can make a shortcut in there. (NOTE: This requires a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. )
When I turn on my wifi, the 4G icon disappears for a couple seconds then returns so both are in the bar. It shows data is transferring over wifi only but the 4g icon remains. Just thought this was a little strange since last night only the wifi icon showed up... I have tried toggling data, wifi, rebooting the phone, and rebooting the phone with different combinations of connectivity enabled. Just wondering if anyone else has both if these icons present in the notification bar and if anyone has any idea as to how to remove the 4g icon while wifi is enabled. I would rather not turn data off while on wifi so I am able to transition from one to the other. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk HD
There was another thread on this recently, but mine does not do this. The only time 3G/4G will show while on WiFi is if I'm doing something that requires mobile data, such as sending or receiving MMS.
Thanks. I looked but didn't see it earlier... Found it now though. Thanks for the response

1) Go to Settings/More Tab/Application Manager
2) Swipe right to the ALL tab
3) Find "Caller Name ID" and click on it
4) Click on "Disable"
4G icon should disappear in a second or two from your notification bar. Worked for me!
power control toggle
I downloaded a power control app from the play store and now I just turn my mobile data completely off when I am at home running WiFi. You can do the same thing in the notification bar toggle menu, I just like having the widget on my main screen.
I removed the Caller ID app but I still have both the Wifi/4G icons sometimes. Sometimes the 4G icon will disappear, sometimes not, can't figure out the root cause of it.
EDIT: Apparently running the "Remove" option inside this app only hides it from your launcher. It was still listed in the Application Manager. Disabling it there fixed the problem. Thanks guys.

That did the trick... Turned off caller id and 4G icon went away
Did anyone find that a complete wipe fixed this? I was about to try that with my wife's phone, as there seems to be some lingering text messages going through issues.
I will try that callerID disable thing as well prior to the reformat.
Just a quick note to add that the mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370 )to add the missing mobiledata toggle back into the notification panel works for the Galaxy S5 once rooted. The older version of sqllite editor in the original thread is not compatible with Android 4.42 however, you can use the new version available in the Playstore ($2.99) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
T-Mobile has the annoying tenancy to remove the mobile data toggle from the notification panel and the latest GS5 and 4.4.2 is no different. Not a huge issue for those that are on the current T-Mobile plans that allow data roaming internationally, but if you are on one of the older T-Mobile plans that don't allow that, or if you are like me planning to use my unlocked T-Mobile GS5 on another network, having that toggle is handy to avoid pricy data overages.
-------------------
As per the original thread, the same instructions apply;
1) Download sqlite editor app from the Playstore. (Older free versions force close on 4.4.2)
2) Open the app and give it root permissions. It should populate a list.
3) Scroll and Tap the "Settings Storage"
4) Tap "Settings.db"
5) Tap "System"
6) Scroll down until you find "notification_panel_active_app_list", tap to highlight it. I noticed its a little hard to get it highlighted because it seems to want to highlight the one under it. So you might have to tap the one right above it to get it highlighted. Make sure its the notification_panel_active_app_list, and NOT the notification_panel_default_active_app_list. I picked the wrong one the first time and it didnt work.
7) Once it is highlighted tap the phones menu button.
8) Tap "Edit Record"
9) You'll see a list of all the toggles that are currently enabled to show in notification area.
10) At the bottom of the list add ; and the words MobileData then another ;. So it will look like this at the end. ;AirplaneMode;MobileData; Then press Save.
11) Reboot and you should have a data toggle now. You can now use the edit feature and move it anywhere you want in the list of toggles.
Note: After I edited it and rebooted the "notification_panel_active_app_list" moved closer to the bottom of the list. So if you go back in and dont see it scroll further down

I downloaded TB Restore Fixer, but SQL still crashed. Can you tell me how you did it to get the older SQL version to work? Really want to add the Data toggle in the notification bar.
Just a related comment I had about turning off Data:
On my AT&T S4, I would frequently use the data toggle for saving the last ~10% of battery after a long day or two of use. I found that simply switching data (and wifi) off saved a ton of battery, keeping my phone alive for emergencies on that last few percent for much longer than it would if I were to allow apps like Facebook to constantly fish for updates.
The power-save icon seems like it "might" do the trick, but I wish it had the option to just fully turn off mobile data instead of "limiting" it.
Once I finally root my device, this will probably be one of the first things I do. Thanks!

Yeah, I just want to be able to turn the data on and off through the notification bar instead of going to the settings.
Got it to work using SQlite Editor version 2.0.1. I now have my mobile data toggle on the notification bar.
Does anyone know the wording to add the hotspot (wifi tether) toggle?
Just an fyi, all the toggles will be baked into the new version of my Project Infinity rom later today.

SQLite Editor not saving tether settings
I've tried changing my tethering settings but every time I reboot SQLite will revert to previous settings which is preventing use of tethering.
With Samsung Galaxy S5 it looks like some of the values have been changed to some extent. Going through some of the id's values I notice not all the values are consistent, I've notice with some id's 1 will represent disable while 0 represent enabled while with other id's 1 is enabled and 0 represent disabled values.
Im a little confused as to the reason behind such confusion maybe other devs can shed some light as to what is going on here.
Some settings seem to work like changing and adding MobileData and WiFiHotspot values worked with no problem.
Thanks. It worked on my SM GS5.
Thank you so much! Worked on my GS5.
Wish this method would work for adding the flashlight toggle.
Does this work for the AT&T variant of the S5?

OK found my mistake, I clicked on Notification_panel_applications_for_reset I found the normal one by using the search option and it worked perfectly! Ty so much!
Hello, nice mod, does something similar can be done for Hotspot/Thethering toggle? adding a ;Hotspot; or ;Thethering; ?? Thanks!
I just used the reset one and when I rebooted I reset it and boom it was there. AT&T G900A
