Disabling sync/notification/data isn't needed only when I'm working on
my computer, but if I'm walking in mountain, I don't care and I don't
wan't Gmail, Twitter etc to sync, because I absolutely don't wan't
notifications, but I wan't to save battery. I must leave my phone
powered on, to receive calls if someone in the group has a problem, or
if I need to phone to rescue fast, but I don't wan't useless services. I
will not be able to charge battery for a few time, and in theses case,
my smartphone just has to be... a phone ! Then maybe I will need an
information (on meteo etc) then I will wake cellular data, but just for
this shoirt time and I don't wan't to have it awake all the time.

This is even more important at work : I use an internal webapp for
working (taking my job and some tests), but usually I have no use of any
kind of data (or sync) like mails etc. Cellular data is not a service I
use H24, but a service I need one or two times a day, and I need to save
battery and data consumption rest of the time.

Title:
  [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 !
