Use SBSettings to Quickly Toggle 3G/WiFi

SBSettings is available via Cydia only for jailbroke iPhones only. So if you are wondering why you should jailbreak iPhone 3G, here’s another compelling reason.

SBSettings lets you toggle between different modes and access certain apps quickly from the home screen with a swipe of your finger across the top of the screen.

You can toggle functions like 3G, EDGE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and adjust brightness with a quick tap after the swipe. The buttons are color coded with green indicating active ones and red/orange indicating the disabled ones.

SBSettings launches from Springboard so you can refresh SpringBoard right from it as well as Respring or go to Dock or access the Power options.

Another cool utility with this app is that you can quickly see your Wi-Fi ip address, your data IP addess as well as check your hard drive free space on your iPhone. It even shows available memory.

SBSettings Gets iPod Widget

With the recent release (not shown in pic), SBSettings has added support for a iPod widget.

Before this, if you wanted to play music while surfing, you had to exit Safari and then play and then resume surfing. SBSettings gives a play/pause widget so you can start playing music without quitting surfing. The iPod widget starts playing random songs when play and if you had paused, it starts playing where you left off.

If you have a jailbroke iPhone 3G, try this now for FREE from Cydia. Also, let us know what else is your favorite in Cydia that you’d like us to feature here.

    I find constantly having to fiddle with settings (via multiple presses) really annoying. I’ve resisted jailbreaking my new iphone so far – but this could push me over the edge.

    I just can’t wait for apple to include all the functionality of jailbroken phones into official updates. I mean it’s just common sense to do that.

    [...] Re: Vodafone GPRS randomly stops working on iPhone…need to restart phone…phone or voda problem? I am jelous. 3GS. I have a 3G but Since I am at home most of the time, Preparing for an Exam, I use internet through WiFi. I am with Airtel(Unlocked from AT&T), and didnt find any point, using slow EDGE on the phone for 500/month when I am at home, most of the time where I have wifi. Anyway one thing you could do is download, SBsettings, and then you can just flick your finger on top of the screen and switch on/off Edge which should reset the EDGE. Maybe this can save you time and help you out as a temporary setting. Here is a link to a blog about SBsettings, now I am not sure if they have ported it to New 3GS but works flawless on my 3G Use SBSettings to Quickly Toggle 3G/WiFi | Top iPhone Resource [...]
