hey there,
just wanna find out is there any difference between using the data toggle add-on vs disable 3G and EDGE in sbsettings?

The EDGE toggle does not disable the EDGE radio. You cant do that without disabling the phone system. Instead, it just tells the iPhone settings that the network connection that EDGE uses is “unavailable”. This is the same method that has been used for EDGE toggle since 1.1 firmware in early BossPrefs.This blocks all data since it’s no longer a valid data connection. Now you may indeed have an E or even a 3G if you have EDGE off and 3G on. But you will not be able to get onto the internet. You may also have an IP address.
the data toggle solution sets a bogus IP address, (1.1.1.0) to your data adapter’s IP address. This seems to kill EDGE / 3G without any battery drain issues reported in using other methods such as entering a bad APN.
1) Some people find disabling EDGE as is in SBSettings works fine. (These folks probably have push disabled and are not using any apps that have notifications / push services.)
2) Some people find this method did work for them.
3) Some people find that a fake APN works for them without battery drain. Others experience massive battery drain.
based on the info above, it can be concluded tat the edge toggle was nt a 100% workabt for disabling data, users were facing problems tat data was still active n probably sm battery drain issues...the data toggle solution sets a bogus IP address, (1.1.1.0) to your data adapter’s IP address.

hence, they came up with a totally new solution, one which addressed those problems n works better than older one...:0
