Help No mobile data Icon on my status bar

incineratorz1 · Oct 6, 2012

Hi guys I've been looking for this since I got my S3. A friend of mine has the exact same phone and has the icon to turn mobile data on/off in his status bar.

I really want it to, don't want to go in settings everytime I want to do it.

Heres some screenshots to help you notice what I'm talking about.

Edit: can't send links or images since its my first post.

Any help is appreciated . thank you.

1st one is a pic of my old phone (htc desire hd) showing the mobile icon on the status bar. Last 2 are screenshots of my s3 status bar.

That's odd! Mine is between "Screen rotation" and "Sound"

incineratorz1 · Oct 6, 2012

yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for damnit I want it.

I've had this on my status bar since I'm with android phones it's like an addiction

It must be something your carrier decided it didn't want included in their version of the phone? Who is your carrier?

It is carrier Dependant. I'm willing to bet your friend has a different provider than you do?

Try Power Widget in the Play Store to add a mobile data toggle on your home screen. Unfortunately you aren't going to be able to add it to your notification bar to my knowledge.

Not "removed" on Verizon anyway. I still have mine.

Hi, when you pull down the main screen to access the icons is there an icon at the very top of the screen on the far right that looks like three boxes, if so touch this and see if the Mobile Data icon is listed. Phil
