[Q] Airplane mode with Wifi on

I spend most of my work day with no signal, so my battery dies quick constantly searching. I've now got google voice setup, so I can do everything i need over wifi, but can't enable airplane mode without it preventing wifi from working as well. I'm running SFR 1.2. Anybody have the same issue and or know a way around it?

Turn Airplane Mode on and then turn Wifi on. Wifi will go on while Airplane Mode is active. If you have Wifi on and then turn Airplane Mode on, it will turn Wifi off... just re-enable Wifi.

That's the exact same issue i'm having. I can attempt to turn wifi on, but it seems to just grey out the options with airplane mode on. From either the quick launch bar, or directly in settings i get the same issue.

Just tested this to see...
Works fine stock ec05. Must be something isolated to SRF

that's funny because I was just looking for an application that does this too. SRF 1.2 won't let you enable wifi with airplane mode on. I don't know if this is an SRF issue or if it's like that for all ROMs. anyway, I found this app [(download here)] and it works perfectly. very simple to use

It works on stock and I have also used this method with various midnight ROM's

Stock Froyo has always had this ability by default. Must be an isolated custom ROM thing.

here try this also. Turn on your wifi first, then turn airplane mode on & see if the wifi stays connected. this method works for me on SRF 1.2

I just installed "Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool" from the market and so far it's working great for this. There is an option you can enable to always leave Wi-Fi on when entering arplane mode.

I'm running syndicate frozen 1.2, and I have not been able to turn WiFi on while in airplane mode when I was able to do so with stock ROM.
I don't see an app called "Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool". Anyone with a direct link or alternative?

I used Airplane Mode Wifi from the market, and it worked fine. what's funny, is ever since installing the app and setting it to "always allow wifi during airplane mode" i haven't had a problem with it anymore on any rom or any kernel.

Hold power button for a few seconds. Select "Data network mode" to turn off mobile data. Press back button. (Soft key or hardware, doesn't matter) Turn on wifi.
What be the problem gents?

The fact that it doesn't turn the main phone radio off, and would still leave me with a dead phone by the end of my work day. That's my whole reason. I have no signal all day at work, but plenty of wifi (hooray google voice.)

I keep a charger at work, because I get zero bars at my desk but sometimes it will send/receive texts. No wifi available for me.
Maybe you could...plug it in at work?

I plug it in when I can, but I'm the only IT guy for 300 people.. don't get to spend much time at my desk.

[Q] Nitro as WiFi Only phone

I am looking to buy the Nitro HD for WiFi only use and maybe occasional prepaid use. I will flash to some deodexed ROM or maybe CM9 so I am not so concerned about software issues in the stock ROM.
What I am more concerned about is - how are the cameras for Skype/Google Video etc?
Any way to turn off all radios except WiFi by default everytime the phone starts up?
Thanks.

^^bump^^

I'll chime in here, I use mine as a wifi only device. As far as Skype/google video goes, video calls are great. I don't have a Sim card in mine and the mobile settings are greyed out which I'm assuming the cellular is off.
I'm currently running the latest cm9 nightlies and the device keeps getting better and better.
Battery life is definitely better than gingerbread. Battery life is within reason for a device this powerful while on wifi. The only battery drain I've found is being out of range of a wifi area. It seems the device goes on over drive looking for wifi and within an hour, majority of your battery is dead. This might be a CM9 issue, I'm not sure on that. Just remember to turn off your wifi when out and about.

Thanks for the response. I got myself a used one for $200 today off Craigslist. Will put leaked ICS ROM on it
Looks much sweeter than my iPhone 4S!!

UP！UP!
The super screen is eye candy. Using wifi it will last for 5-7 hours, while using 3g only for 2-3 hours.
For these two reasons, i often use it only as WIFI.
Will somebody introduce a super airplane mode without shutdown of WIFI？

Get dx battery saver, put it into sleep mode, then activate wifi.

You don't need any special app. Just enable airplane mode, then enable wifi.

oh,no, it is a two-click thing with a wifi interruption.
We want a one-click button.

I got it！
If there is /system/etc/settings.xml, modify it about what is airplane mode （this is, remove “wifi” in the lines of "airplane-mode" ）.

Wifi Calling turning off and now starting back up

My Wifi Calling always turns off randomly it seems or when my phone screen is turned off. Then it won't start back up without me having to turn wifi off then back on and sometimes not even then and I have to restart my phone. Does anyone know a fix or what I can do so that it doesn't do this? my wifi connection is always almost full or entirely full.
Please help!
Thanks,
JewlZ

Have you checked your wifi sleep policy? If wifi shuts off when the screen does (which seems to be a default) wifi calling will also bail.

how do I change the sleep policy?

Disabling phone feature completely

Hi
Have a note 2 n7100X live demo. After playing around with it and a few ROMs cm10.1 seems to work well with no freezing meaning I can use it as a tablet device which is cool.
However, while battery performance is far from terrible 'mobile standby' is using up the most by far despite a live demo not being able to take a sim card etc.
So my question is this, is there any way to disable the phone feature in its entirety?
Cheers

Could you please post the battery stats?
I believe you can freeze the phone.apk file using titaniu backup.
Also, whether you tried having your phone in Airplane mode?
Because generally a phone will try searching for a SIM card and waste it's battery till it finds one. Putting in airplane mode disables the mobile networks. So, the phone won't look for SIM Card. Try this It might work.

Cheers for the reply
I can't figure how to take a screenshot of battery on cm but its at 67% for mobile standby. That's on overall 84% from 8 hours. Like I said not too bad so I can't complain too much but I wouldn't mind just disabling it to save a bit more
The thing with airplane is it kills WiFi too unless there's a way to stop that happening?

Once in flight mode you can turn on Wi-Fi. Phone will continue in flight mode but with Wi-Fi on.

You're right. I was being a spastic as normal. Cheers!

Even with aeroplane mode on mobile standby is still chewing though the battery. Not sure if its the demo handset or cm10.1.
I've tried freezing the phone apk but of anyone else has any suggestions that would be awesome

Turning off cell radio??

Is there any way to do this on this phone? Primarily for battery life issues? I plan on using this phone NOT as a phone lol, but I would still like to use BT and/or wifi without using the cell radio, hopefully saving some battery life.
Or should I just not worry about it and leave it all on? Phone isn't on a active network anymore, but still has all my old phone number info in it, etc.

Turning on Airplane Mode doesn't activate this? The RIL is still connected, but it shouldn't be broadcasting anything. Though you can turn wifi on and off while in Airplane Mode, just not the cell radio.

Well the issue is mainly with the BT. Once you turn on airplane mode, the BT is inactive. Wifi still functions, but I need BT as well.

No I can't. Maybe I am running too old of a rom? I know its a stock rom. GB I think.

I'm not sure if that's a hardware limitation with this chipset or not. I can do exactly what you described in my gs4, but am also unsuccessful on the incredible. Let me know what you figure out.
