Mobile Data Widget

Dmitriy Lapayev

About this app

The widget is designed to enable/disable mobile network data transfer (mobile traffic control).

For Android 5 and above the option "enable/disable data transfer" is not supported (invoked the system settings).

Implemented:
• displaying the mobile network type (depending on the device and SIM-card);
• indication of the GSM signal strength;
• displaying direction of the IP PPP traffic (sending and/or receiving);
• indication of when the unit is roaming;
• ability to change the border color of the widget (at installation);
• ability to change the horizontal and vertical size (for Android 3.1 and above).

Data transfer via the mobile network depends on the connection state of the Wi-Fi adapter and conditions of your mobile operator. Recommended for use jointly with "Wi-Fi Info" widget, which contains the indicator "Network availability".

Ratings and reviews

Too big. Needs to be 1x1. Also, I have app idea for you! Status bar widget that shows same data as status bar - Date / Time / Data / Hotspot / Battery / Wifi / Camera / Bluetooth. This does not exist yet, I don't know why. Make them small and compact icons. Fit everything in 2x2. And, able to toggle what you want to show in the widget. Now I have 5 widgets to show all this! Need single widget with all this in very compact format. Thank you.

This is great. Much easier to see the signal strength in a nice square box rather than tiny bars on the top.

This is a good working data widget, it's the only one I can find that works plus I love being able to pick the outline color.
