Hi,
I was looking for the way to disable/enable 3G too.
This is what I came up with:
1) There is no API for this.
2) There are enough examples of how to achieve that using some techniques
(for example
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3644144/how-to-disable-mobile-data-on-android).
3) No matter which technique you are using you need to grant the
MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission.
4) This permission was marked as "for system use only" in Android
version 2.3.
5) According to Google this is the expected behavior and they are not
going to change it.
(check out http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15022).
I gave up this feature, please let me know if you find a 'proper' way to
accomplish disabling/enabling 3G mobile data.
Thanks
/Yaron

Hi!
I am trying to develop an application that smartly manages wifi vs 3g
for a user. I am looking for a way to totally disable 3G on a device
(similar to how a user can do it in the settings, but programmatically
instead). Specifically, I need a way to do this on Android 4.0. How
can an app disable mobile data on a device??
