[Q] enable airplane mode turns wifi off in 4.2?

i have 2 gnex phones that both just updated to 4.2, and prior to the update, when i turned on airplane mode, cell data would turn off but wifi would be left on.
after the 4.2 update, one phone continues to work that way, with airplane mode on, cell data is turned off but wifi is left on. the other phone, enabling airplane mode turns off both wifi and cell data.
i know that apps are not able to toggle airplane mode anymore (AutoAP) because of security changes but why would airplane mode work differently on 2 phones running the same 4.2 build?
both phones are running stock android, no root, no flashing.
is there a setting i'm missing? was this something in the update that other people are experiencing?
thanks for the help!
Can't you just toggle wifi back on after?

yes, but it immediately shuts wifi back off.
with airplane mode on, i can go to the wifi settings screen, and hit the toggle, it turns on, scans, finds the local wifi, connects and at the same moment it connects the wifi on/off toggle flips back to off.
just seems weird that it is happening with this phone but mine is working as expected...
Then you must go back to 4.1.2 with 4.2 gapps.

any idea why it would work with one 4.2 phone and not the other?
seems odd i'd have to backport one phone but leave the other at 4.2
This happens on my Nexus 4. Airplane mode constantly disables WiFi, no matter what. And yes the app AutoAP doesn't work either.
I have found this app, Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool, funny that it was made for Android versions prior to 2.0.
The actual app doesn't seem to work (to enable/disable airplane mode and WiFi), but within the app lies a nifty feature in the Preferences menu under Extras:
Keep Wi-fi On
Wi-fi on Airplane Mode
Check both of those and you should be able to turn Airplane mode on and then keep WiFi on.
Cheers.

im on ARHD 7.0.0 and even in prior versions, when airplane mode was turned on wifi would turn off but it could be turned back on. how come your wifi stays on during the airplane mod transition?
Isn't airplane mode means disable any active radio transmission includes Wi-Fi which is sent and receive data ?
If you just wanna stay off calls why don't you just use automatic redirect incoming calls to voice mail or just simply pull out the sim card?

Airplane mode is supposed to turn wifi off (its a transceiver). However, You can turn it back on while airplane mode is activated and still have the other functions off.
That how airplane mode is supposed to work, thats not a bug, every phone ive had does this

i don't know why, but wifi always has always stayed on when switching to AP mode since i got our Gnex phones in sept. (4.1 i think). wifi even stayed enable when switching to AP mode in my old crappy kin two.
and i think it must be fairly common based upon the instructions in the $30 cell service thread, but i'm no android expert so maybe i'm wrong.

There's a lot of talk about this. Check the [GUIDE] to voip/$30/month plans. But it sounds like google moved it into part of core services or something like that. So none of the autoap type programs work any more. But one member had this suggestion below in that other thread. Gotta buy Tasker, but should be able to get back to working like AutoAP did.
Download Secure Settings. Launch Secure Settings, go over to the Helper tab and install the helper. Then go to Tasker. Go into your task and delete the Airplane Mode radio step and the Airplane mode on step. Then hit the + at the bottom left, go to Plugins, select Secure Settings. Hit edit. Scroll down to "Airplane Mode Radios" and select it, and then select "Cell" from the dropdown. Hit the save button at the bottom left and select the check mark to create the task. Move the task where it needs to be by dragging on the right side up and down. Then create a new task, Plugins, Secure Settings, edit, Airplane mode, on, save button, check mark, move to position. You can figure out the rest. Works perfectly.
Llama works as well, it's free and looks less complicated

Many thanks. Got this working after playing with Secure Settings and Tasker, works great...:good:

keep wifi on in airplane mode
I guess I have figured out how to do it with Tasker or Secure Settings.
Both have two actions like "Airplane Mode" and "Airplane Radios", so the second one doesn't turn off anything, but set, what to control with "Airplane Mode" action. Setting seems to be system wide and permanent (saved after reboot).
Good luck

[Q] Shortcut to toggle my data off? (ATT Note 2)

My GF has the infuse 4g and if you hold the power button down a few seconds it pops up with the options to put it in plane mode, power off, etc. but it also allows you to shut off the data plan. I am being very cautious with my data plan and turn it off quite often when im not using the phone. I was hoping for a quicker means to toggle it off/on like via the power button, or the scrollbare at the top of the screen when you drag the top of the screen down.
Any way to add this capability so I dont need to keep hitting settings and data usage?
Thank you
if you flash a rom with 15 toggle mod it comes with it in the status bar.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Or if you want a stock solution, use the widget Favorite Settings. It has the data usage button on there so you could just click it and take you straight to data usage to turn it off.
I haven ever flashed the roms or any of that before so I would need to go through and learn how to do it. but my main concern with those is that I would lose my tv-out functionality if I go to a different Rom from what I hear.
Thanks for the feedback
It would be cool to have it in the scroll bar if possible.
For now I have D/L'ed the "data enabler" app and put it on my home screen.
Or you can add the Settings widget 1x1 and select Data Usage. This gives you a 2 click solution to turn mobile data on/off.
I really hate the fact that the toggle isn't in the drop down menu. Makes me think ATT is resorting to methods of confusing is customers in order to nickel and dime us.

Notification vibrate

Two weeks ago, toggling the silent mode settings between Silent, sound only, vibrate only, and sound-vibe controlled the ringer and all the notifications. So, any app that generated a notification would follow this setting. You know, like every phone every made since their advent.
My phone just came back from samsung (screen repair) with MD4 everything. I also put MOAR on it. Now, that toggle no longer controls the notification vibration. The only way to set vibration for notification is go into the individual application settings. This is ridiculousness. I thought I could make a workaround with tasker, but "Vibrate on notify" is also no longer available.
Can anyone verify this is the way it is? Or is something wrong with mine?

I'm not sure if this will work as I'm on AOSP rom but try this.
Under Settings/Sound - select volumes, you should get a popup for volume settings. There should be an option for "Link Ringtone & Notification Volumes". Select that and notifications should follow the same rule as phone ring tone. Hope it works for you.
Bumping this. Does anyone have a solution to this complete epic failure of engineering by either google or samsung? It's absolutely absurd that if I want to cycle vibrate on and off, I have to go into 5 different apps, dig through menus of each app, and change each app's individual notification settings.
After you received the Device back from Samsung, did you happen to notice if the Toggle worked correctly ? I'm currently on MOAR, and everything works as it should. Did you do a Clean install of MOAR ? Meaning a Full Wipe System - Data - Dalvik Cache -Cache - Factory Reset ? Did you verify the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ?

When I sent the phone away, it had MOAR 4 and whatever was prior to MD4.
When I got the phone back, it came with MD4. I clean flashed MOAR 4. Not more vibe on notify. I didn't check that before I flashed, but presumably that feature went away with MD4.
Clean flashing to MOAR 5 still lacks that feature.
So this leads me to believe it is an MD4 "feature".
Ok so I think I understand you a bit better now. You are not saying that the Toggle is broken, you are saying that when you use the Toggle certain apps do not respond accordingly. Have you tried : Menu - Settings - Sound - Ringtones and notifications. Make sure that Vibrate and ringing is checked.
No no. The problem is that THERE IS NO TOGGLE. The toggle for selecting notification vibrate no longer exists. It isn't there. Taken away. No option, no selection, no checkbox, no nothing. And tasker shows it as not available so I can't work around it either.
Look at these two screenshots. There is nothing to set notification vibrate, and there there is nothing to link notification settings up with ringer settings. All gone. The Vibrate when ringing checkbox controls only the phone call vibrate and has no effect on notifications.
The only way to control whether you get a vibrate for notification, is to go into each application and manually turn it's vibrate option on. That application will then vibrate at all times. If I set the phone for silent, that app's notifications will still vibrate. If I set the phone for sound only, that app still vibrates. If I have the app's vibe turned off, and I set the phone for vibrate, I will never receive any notification since there is no vibrate for notification.
Make sense now?
Did you try changing it in Vibration Intensity ?

Sure I could go into vibration intensity and lower it down to zero. But that is not a toggle. There is no way to adjust that without going through all the menus and changing the slider. It will not change itself when I put the phone into vibrate. It will not change itself when I put the phone into sound & vibe. It isn't solving anything. The problem is the removal of the toggle.
You can try THIS , or maybe the one HERE.

Those just do the same exact thing the phone already does. Toggle the RINGER. Nothing to do with notifications.
I've been asking around about this too. It's really annoying having to change the notification settings in each app every time. Someone suggested a Tasker profile to change the vibrate settings in specified apps but I haven't figured out how to do it.

Interruption mode?
Sent from my SGP611 using XDA Free mobile app
@pepporony: yup
There's a relatively easy way to do it.
1- Go to Settings> Sound & Notification> Interruptions> Priority Only
In here, you customize the settings for the Priority Only mode (see point 3-)
2- Check Incoming Calls and uncheck the rest (or however you want it set up)
3- Back to home screen, bring down the notification panel, tap on All Interruptions, which will turn to Priority Only.
Done.

it works, :good:
Alternatively, you can set system sounds to silent (settings -> sounds -> volume). That includes notifications, annoying boot noise and audio touch feedback.
I don't know what else it turns off, but whatever it is, I don't miss it.
With this approach you can keep the priorities logic intact.
