        Hey friends, finally a solution. At least temporarily until the Samsung move. Look for the fixdatatoggle.apk app, install, reboot and check if it worked. After that you can uninstall. It worked on my S6. That's it!

                                  Hi if anyone of you have this issue go to Settings > Notification Panel and tap on reset then mobile data toggle comes back and you can place it whereever you want. I have Galaxy alpha android 5.0.2 and it worked. Good lock.

                                    Didn't realize it also affected the Tab S tablets. It has not manifested on my S6 Edge - yet. Nor in my Tab S 10.5. Very weird. Most of my friends in the FB page for S6 in the Philippines lost their Mobile Data toggle already.
