No need to be a douche, I'm sure he wants to see other types of widgets that people are using instead of what he has/has seen.
Any who That one right there doesn't show when your on HSPA+
Try Signal Strength Widget
This was the best one I've found so far.
I like signal strength widget and phono is tight...

You could also try battery monitor. In one of the menus you are able to ping your phone and the info should come up about what your network is.

Icant seem to find a way to force my g2 to stay in "4g"
Ihave full conection it just keeps bouncing back and fourth
Between 3g and 4g .. any help?
I dont know but all the roms do that and it does that to save battery, if it stays in 3G it means its just saving battery but when you go to an app that requires the web it goes to 4G for fasters speed.
So basicly devs made it like that to make your phone save battery.
My guess, dont quote me on that.

It switches whilst iam using the browser
And ialways get page load fails
Its switching as itype this
And when iuse my tether it still switches ..its rather annoying
What I did was download the app any cut and make a shortcut to the phone info setting. Once in there just switch from wcdma perferred to wcdma only and that should do it

That happened fo me too. But I was getting the speed without the icon...it was only when it switchdd that it would f up. I just switchdd radios and downloaded the 4g app pack and it helpdd but didnt fix (only happendd with a couple roms) and on other roms it will say 4g but its a 3g speed...and that ciuld just be the nature of the beast...
Can't believe no one else in the know has commented on this. You c ant force it. PERIOD. That is not how hspa works. The phone plays a small part in the switch but MOST of it is up to the towers discretion. The tower switches you to hspa when the data throughput warrants it. This is a fact not just some crackpot theory. Save your time!
Lol to the person who said devs made it that way. Not making fun just laughing

I have extended controls and i've tried several others like it but nothing seems to have a toggle to turn 3G off. 2G/3G toggles don't work and neither does turning off mobile data (APN), I guess that's for GSM networks.
At work i get really poor reception and I'd like to be able to toggle 3G off (turn data off) to save battery.
Thanks ahead of time!
Are you rooted?

Yes i'm rooted, running starburst 1.6
Not sure if this is the one that you already have but turning off data works perfect for me in 1.6.

Here is my solution with launcher pro. You can do an activity shortcut with AnyCut and test the Various DATAs for the one that allows for the selection of Hybrid/CDMA/EVDO. Launcher pro is a little more detailed in it's selection process.

I currently use Widgetsoid which can control many things but if you want just a 3G on/off toggle, I know that Data Switch does work with our phones, I've used it before.
1) Since i have had my evo 4g i used SWITCH PRO WIDGET. The widgets look amazing and they are the only ones that i have found with a working mobile data switch
But since ICS they do not work and force close, is there an alternative set of matching toggles that include a data switch?
anyone know of a good mobile network toggle?
i cant stand my battery draining when im not using my phone... the mobile network toggle literally is clutch..but i cant find one that works with ICS
Try widgetsoid from the market, has a ton of toggles and you can even place it in your status bar.

Since flashing the new dark side kernel I get weird behavior from the mobile radio. It will show full bars of 3g then when I use the browser ,for example, it jumps to full bars of 4g(H). This happens with any network activity over cellular radio.
Is this normal behavior, .....for battery conservation?
Also in "settings"- then "mobile networks",...the "preferred network mode" is set to 'wcdma".
Should I use default setting or the other choice ,which is "LTE/GSM".
Thanks.
Any ideas. Anyone have same behavior? This is not really a problem, just unusual.

Use wcdma. T-Mobile doesn't have lte. And I don't think it's kernel related. I honestly think it's just that the ui isn't updating during sleep. Plus it naturally should go to 3g when not in use. Look up fast dormancy. I honestly don't think it's anything to worry about.

I would love to find these mods (preferably in a flashable zip) either in a ROM or that I can do myself.
1. Force roam (roam control doesnt even work)
2. 1X/3G mod (I know the ultralight ROM has this but it appears to be the only one right now that lists it)
3. Deactivate security admistrator permissions for exchange email account
Coming from an EVO LTE and previous HTC devices, I miss these mods dearly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

By default Sprint has configured the signal notification to display "3G" even if you are in 1X RTT mode. Developers create a modification to add back the 1X symbol in the notification bar that will show when you are connected to true 3G EVDO or 1X.

awww. i noticed that. i thought it was a bug because i'm running the sprint os on my uscc note 2. thought the way i fixed it killed that. now i know! i'd contact the dev who has that feature in his rom and ask how he did it. i would very much like to know!
So I looked into the 1X/3G mod and I figured it out. I packaged it up and it's flashable. Works on any LK8 ROM.
http://d-h.st/96O Modified and tested personally. Back up just in case. Or not.

One user reported it failed during flash. Although I tested it and it works fine for me. So let me know if that works okay

I would like to see the the mod that when you hold the back button it completely shuts down that current app you are on. That was one of the best mods I had on my old evo.

What I have noticed with the Sprint ROMs on my phone is the 1X/3G handoff isn't really working so much. If 1X is available and there's no 3G is shows. If you go from 3G service to poor 3G it won't handoff to 1X like it normally should. Not sure if that's a bug between the OS and my radio or just the OS since I'm again running this on my US Cellular Note 2. But in the end if does show 1X with that mod. Just need a fix for the 1X/3G handoff.
I fixed up mine a while back and see it on 1x at various times. I assume your fix was just flipping the min3G boolean in the system ui apk.
