About Switch Network Type 2G / 3G

This app/shortcut opens directly the settings app of mobile network settings to switch between "2G" and "allow 3G" networks (e.g. to save battery). A direct switch is sadly not possible.

It places also a shortcut in the statusbar to reach the settings from everywhere.

For some reason, it stopped working on my Oneplus X. I use the shortcut and it takes me to a settings page that is not directly accessible and switching network type doesn't do anything. 3 stars because I think it's Android's problem.

Z70%
by Z####:

Doesn't Work. Wanted to be able to switch my Huawei Ascend P6 to 3G only as that's not offered on the phone's settings. All the app does is redirect you to the same settings! This is nothing more than a shortcut....

Imagining if I did not have this app. I won't be saved from 5 clicks of pain and hassle just to navigate my way thru the 2g/3g settings each and everytime until now. Thank you so much dev. Hat's off! 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Works without getting in the way or eating up unnecessary amounts of memory.

by N####:

Takes me to my settings windows. Where I have to go stuff manually again. I would've just assigned a shortcut rather than downloading this widget.

N70%
by N####:

Well - it's just a link to the mobile network setting, but this still saves a lot of time when you often switch between 3G/LTE and 2G to save battery. Also works on my Z3 Compact with Android 5.1.1 without any problems.

Not offering anything new, cant use it to control 2G or 3G. I don't like it.

It opens my phone settings.. There is no need of using it for that.

D70%
by D####:

Great If it is not taking space in notification bar. its annoying and deleting. else very useful. Let me see if similar app available without notification. 2G 3G Switch from geekonweb is better. Also not working with 2nd sim eventhough 2nd sim is selected for data!!

There's no option to switch data on/off on this app. Android 6.0.1 has moved this option. Please fix this for Marshmallow Nexus 5. I love your app. Shall increase rating once fixed.

It doesn't work in moto e please fix it

U70%

It's crazy that Android doesn't allow direct toggling of the network mode via a widget or something. My old Symbian could do that plus a lot more most modern smartphones can't, and still so many idiots hate that OS. Anyway... This is great stuff.

To be fair Galaxy Note doesn't offer this link by default... was hoping this would offer it

X70%
by X####:

With this app we can change the network mode from GSM to WCDMA very easily from notification panel. Good work and easy to access. Highly recommend 4 switching the network from 2g to 3g. User friendly. Kp it up.

V70%

Widget does not work

Y70%
by Y####:

Does what it says. A direct switch is not possible, so this is the next best thing. The shortcut on the status bar allows you to change the settings from anywhere.

X70%
by X####:

No toggling option. Runs on its own and no way to switch between 2g and 3g
