Hello everyone,

Anyway to implement this tried both SBsettings and NCsettings as it saves a lot of battery power being able to turn 3G off. This is what annoys me about Apple dictacting that I have to leave the 3G radio on all the time.

Thank you
Richard

Toggle seems to work ok here. Vodafone UK. Only thing I can guess is that you're on the three network? Seeing as they run off their own 3g network only and hate you roaming down onto 2g they block the 3g toggle if you're on their network. I would have thought there should be a jailbreak tweak to fix this though?
 
I am on T-Mobile UK - I dont have the 3G switch where I have the LTE switch present. The only way to have a 3G toggle is by putting on SB settings or NCsettings however the 3G switch wont appear in SB settings even though activated in the toggles bit but NCsettings lets me have the switch but it doesnt do anything and 3G stays on.
 
The app to download is BatteryDoctorPro... search cydia (it will display with Chinese Characters but that is the app). It will allow you to toggle 3g or edge. It will even allow the 3G toggle to work in sbsettings.
 
I usually have disdain for battery apps but ^ is exactly what I need. An app that toggles all the features I want on and off when going out or back in. Plus it has NC, customizable toggles, and 3G off/on works!
Thanks for the great description to locate it too.
 
Happened to me once on a rare occasion
I rebooted my phone and it was fixed
 
Can you please elaborate?

I have SBsettings from BigBoss via Cydia and the 3G toggle doesn't even show when activated.

On day 2 of the evasion jailbreak I finally got SBSettings to download and the 3G toggle was present. However, either later that day or the next day SBSettings issued an update, and it hasn't worked properly since. Batterydoctorpro fixed the SBSettings issue after a respring.
