can the phone network be disabled - HTC Wildfire S

Dears;
I use the phone to track my runs with Sportstracker.
To run the app I need to turn on the phone's Bluetooth and GPS.
I'd like to disable the phone network as I do not like to get calls when running.
If I go on fly mode it disables the Bluetooth.
Is there a way to disable only the phone network (other than removing the SIM) ?
Thanks

1. Set your phone to Silent Mode (hehe...dumb one)
or
2. Download a call blocker from Market (Several free ones allow you to divert all calls from an area code or country code)
or
3. Activate call divert to your voice mail for all calls (should be somewhere in call settings)

You can turn off the phone radio with *#*#4636#*#* then goto "Phone Information" scroll down and press "Turn off radio"

Thanks Mark..that was what i was looking for!

[Q] 3G disabler application

Hello,
I am using Vodafone in Turkey. Vodafone has a serious bug on their system. When network mode is in automatic mode after some time I can hear other part's voice but they cannot hear me. If I choose network mode as GSM this problem does not occur. Other operators does not have this issue. So I need an application that switches network mode from automatic to GSM when my phone rings or when I start a call. Is there anything like that

LG G4 IMS problems - solved

All,
I, like others have had a living nightmare with repeated 'Unfortunately LG IMS has stopped working' which keeps popping up every few seconds. I noticed it happened after wifi lost connection, and the network switched to mobile data. Most annoying as I was having to press it up to 20 times when in car as I was driving along!!! I was so desperate I even asked LG for help, and at one point considered reading the manual
I tried everything - even factory reset and nothing worked.
Mine is a LG 818N dual sim model imported into UK, (running on Sim1 - three and Sim2 o2) so not sure if this is factor.
I think I have found a solution at last.
Go into the hidden menu - on phone dialler, dial 277634#*#
When in the menu, select Field test > Modem settings > VoLTE on/off > Subscriber and untick IMS to disable it. I restarted the phone, and the annoying messages were gone.
I believe IMS can be turned off without any major loss of functionality - if anyone knows the effect, please post here for others. So far I can't see any difference other than I can use my phone again
HEY, I was searching for an answer these days too, and just 10 mins ago I flashed back to ver.10b hoping that it will help...... anyway thanks for your tip there.

VoLTE is an improvement over GSM and WCDMA voice service and is the 'wave of the future'. As such LG and the associated operators who use LTE and VoWLAN, voice over the WiFi, Wireless Access Network should be fixing this sooner rather than latter.
This is mostly LG's problem but the buck has to stop with your service provider because that is who you pay for delivering service that is not crapola. The network service operator must arrange their network to use VoLTE and switch from voice over WiFi to VoLTE. Both of these are IP based, using the same basic set of protocols as a common web browser. The advantage of that is voice can be embeded into and between applications including integration into social networking, picture posting and exchange, video conferencing apps, etc. VoLTE is much more agile and should be made much more seamless, ie. without drops, and poor quality. VoLTE is able to pack more calls on the network at higher fidelity than all other voice. '3D'+ multiplexed voice and software voice cancellation, for example, can be done, potentially using multiple devices watching an event, for example. This can be be the direction of evolution or it can stick with the old glitchy voice networks of the past.
LG IMS has to do with the WiFi-Calling feature.
There's a safer way to fix this problem. In the hidden menu, rather than disabling VoLTE, scroll down a bit (in the same menu "VoLTE on/off") to "IP Version." Change this setting from "IPV6V4" to "IPV4V6." If the problem persists, change it to "IPV4," and the problem should vanish.
A LOT of networks don't support IPv6 yet.
airplane mode
the "Unfortunately LG IMS has stopped working" sometimes keeps popping up before you can set up the hidden menu options.
by setting your phone to [ airplane mode ] -- this will help you get through the hidden menu settings.
In india it must be ON for VoLTE services . and i never dealt with the this kind of ims stopped problem

Voice Notifications

Folks,
G4, non rooted, running 13B.
How do I stop the VZW voice that keeps telling me I have lost service?
My job is in a basement and this bleeping voice keeps going off telling me I lost signal, doh! Its annoying as hell. I already have most things disabled or off.
Is it hidden somewhere?
ty
nobody?????????????????????????
dang I have spent some time trying to run this down.
I am missing "network tones" in the sound effects
I have no ERI,, "Enhanced Roaming I............." listed under mobile data
No networks tab , just wi-fi advanced, mobile data tabs.
I have read that this cannot be stopped.....................never had this with any other phone............wtf
somebody got to know something I'm begging here.
"smiley banging head"
OK I have discovered what I did wrong.
In the sound effects file, there is an option for roaming sounds. Tick this and when you lose service, make/receive a call, theres a msg sqwauk . Untick and no alert msg.
Now the rub. Upon enabling the "oem unlock" option under developer option, you remove the roaming sounds option from the sound effects file! So you will bury the option with whatever current setting you gave it.
So do not enable the oem unlock option until they give up the bootloader unlock codes, unintended consequences.

Problem with using on ATT

Hey So I'm having some issues after sim unlocking phone;
I sim unlocked my phone and then flashed it back using odin to stock and still having issues.
Issues:
-While it says LTE the device does not seem to be getting actual LTE as doing a speed test revealed about 2-3 mbps
-When calling someone, they can rarely hear me
-When someone calls me I can't answer the call, I swipe to answer and the phone hangs then shows the call screen again and I try to answer the second time it usually disconnects the call
-When I am able to answer the call no audio and the call automatically hangs up after about 5 seconds
I know that the microphones are good as I can make calls using FB Messenger and don't have any issue since it's using the data.
Steps I have done:
-Flashed back to stock
-Factory Reset after Flash
-Manually set network to: AT&T
-Disabled WiFi calling
-Set network to 2g/3g to see if the LTE was causing the issue
....none of this seems to have made any difference in the issue.
Any recommendations, suggestions, in-sight would be great! Wondering if I should just sell this and get an ATT phone or if I can fix the issue.
I had read in some thread that someone had to get a new sim but from what I remember of the thread they weren't seeing anything data or the ability to select a operator. The phone the SIM originally came from was a iPhone 5C if that makes any difference.
This worked for me:
1) Use an "activity launcher" app to launch Device Info com.android.settings.radioinfo (there is one by that name in the Play Store that I use; Alternatively, Nova Launcher has a handy widget function to launch activities.)
2) Once Device Info/Radio Info is open, there is a drop down menu mid-way down the page that allows you to select various combinations. The default is intended for TMOBILE networks.
For AT&T, select "LTE/GSM (Auto)"
3) Reboot the phone
While the Radio Info settings updated to "LTE/GSM (Auto)" did immediately resolve the mobile data issues on AT&T for me, checking your active APN (that's it's using the AT&T Nextgen APN) might be worthwhile as well.
The program I actually tried to do this with was "4G LTE Switcher"; I had used it back with my XT912(Droid Razr Maxx) because it had lots of problems with custom roms and not connecting to the network and I tried those methods:
1. Turn on airplane mode and turn back on to establish connection after power on
2. Turn on airplane mode, power cycle
3. 4g Switch/ Turn data to CDMA only and then back to LTE (when was on verizon)
Things I've noticed:
1. If I'm on wifi the call audio never works even though I have disabled wifi calling
2. If I'm on LTE the call never works and for some reason like the phone doesn't want to switch over to HSPA
3. If I'm on HSPA+ it works more often on incoming calls than outgoing
I got a new sim card from ATT and had them add the IMEI into the system but didn't help at all.
Nougat should be out soon and hoping that I can get it fixed, going to try some rom flashing and CSC flashing to see if I can get a result out of it
I got my s6 edge plus in a trade, i was able to get it unlocked finally and was wondering if there is an unbranded rom that can be installed on the tmobile variant ? I have at&t as well.

Moto Z2 Force - No Dialling in or out

Hello Folks,
I have an unlocked (SIM) Moto Z2 Force from AT&T that I am using on Freedom mobile in Canada. All the radios frequencies align between the carriers.
Data works perfectly.
Text messaging works perfectly.
BUT I cannot make or receive calls.
If I dial, I get no dialing tones outbound. (NO RINGING)
The phone will not accept *#*#4636#*#* so I cannot fiddle with any of these settings.
Thoughts or directions? Anything would help.
CE
Can you make calls over 2G or 3G? By default VoLTE is enabled.
i found there is no voice call, when i chose LTE only in *#*#4636#*#* , unless LTE/WCDMA is selected
Interesting.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've tried to access *#*#4636#*#* many many times -- it does not work.
I will try to force it to LTE/WCDMA to see if this works.
