Public bug reported:

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 !
