Hi,
I tried to add the 2G/3G Menu as Favorite Toggle, but it did not work. Is it somehow possible?
If not, it would be a nice feature for the phone: Be able to do a quick toggle between 2G and 3G instead of having to go deep in the settings menu. I do not know if is possible a a "Favorite Toggle" or maybe as an App that does so. In N9 there was an app that did so.

No, that is not what I meant. What you say is for enabling/disabling the mobile data connection. I am talking about the network mode 2G/3G (and maybe in the future 4G).
I like to use 2G for consuming less battery.
It disables 3G network but not 2G so I suppose it is about the same use that you want.

While waiting this to be solved in settings you can use third party software Radio Switcher to control this: https://openrepos.net/content/penguin/radio-switcher

As you guys all use the answer to comment... I add an answer ;)
Make the 2G/3G toggle available as favourite-item in settings
Please note that the Jolla technical stats say that it has more talk/stby-time on 3G than on 2G and I did not recognize any heavy power-drain yet and my 3G signal strength is weak at home and used to drain a Sony or my N900 within 4h depending on where I left it in my apartment.

It works. Go in Settings app, "Mobile network". Then a long hold on the switch with the name of your provider. You will see the possibility to have this toggle directly in favorites one on the first screen of Settings app.

From the technical stats, our beloved Jolla should use less power on 3G than on 2G and yet with all other phones I had massive drain of battery when using dual-mode or 3G this has not come to my attention yet, at least not any drastical like with N900 where I had 4h stby on 3G when in my flat.
