Just got my EVO a couple days ago so I am still learning. Where do I download widgets?? Also it has a widget to turn on and off 4g, wifi, gps. Is there any way that I can add a toggle for turning on off mobile network and cdma vs. gsm? I have a horrible signal at my office so the phone constantly searches for a signal and kills my battery. I dont want to turn on airplane mode becasue I do still get calls and need my phone to at least kind of work.

I appreciate the help. I have already been i the must have app thread and have been filling up my phone.
 
I just said how to do it in my above post...
That doesn't really do it though, but I FINALLY found a widget that turns off mobile internet. Extended Controls. The "Data Network" option will allow you to turn on and off the mobile internet as long as it's set to "on" by using the power button. If it's set to off from the power button, the widget doesn't work properly though. Weird, but it works! Yay!

The SwitchPro widget has pretty much any radio/power toggle you could need. Wifi, data connection, bluetooth, gps, auto-sync, airplane mode, brightness, battery indicator, vibrate/silent mode, auto-rotate screen, screen always on, reload media, unlock pattern, reboot, flashlight, 3g-2g, speaker mode, auto-screen lock, mount/unmount storage, wi-fi hotspot, 4g toggle.

All available on the same bar across the screen (up to 8). I haven't used the Extended Controls, though they appear to be similar.

It's available in the market.
