How can I toggle mobile data from a terminal?

Question

I have a rooted Sony Xperia 3 running CyanogenMod 10. Can I turn off mobile data from the terminal?

Answer 1

From the terminal, you can use svc to control several elements of your device. For mobile data, it would be:

• To disable: svc data disable
• To enable: svc data enable

You can simply type svc help for a list of available commands, or svc help [command] for a list of subcommands. For example:

• To get the list of subcommands for controlling mobile data: svc help data
• To get the list of subcommands for controlling wifi: svc help wifi
