It can be social media or e-mail too: when I'm working in front of my
desktop, I want my phone to be offline (internet-wise), so that it
doesn't disturb me for e-mail or social network notifications (which I
already receive in my desktop).
But I still want to be alerted if I receive SMSes or phone calls, so
neither silent mode or flight mode is the solution here.

  [indicators] Impossible to disable cellular data from indicator

Bug description:
  I was wondering : Why it isn't possible to disable data from the
  network indicator ? Probably with a switch button that offer the
  choice between no data or data activated (with the last data activated
  state (2g only or 2G,3G,4G).

  Why this ? Because it's the first setting to change to save battery,
  and probably one of the most used (I asked around me, everyone agreed
  they would prefer that over Wi-Fi if only one was possible).

  I think it's stupid to go to the settings app for the most common
  action (and very frustrating). Of course, this also apply for the
  battery setting page (that already contain Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and
  brightness settings).

  I asked that on the phone ML, I've been invited to file a wishlist bug
  there to "help" designers with next iteration of network indicator. So
  here it is !
