Turning off everything except WiFi?? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

OK, so I'm going on a trip to the UK and Sprint told me my phone won't have any service while I'm there. So I downloaded an app to use for texting via WiFi while I'm there.
Is there a way to turn off the cell network while keeping the wifi on so it doesn't keep looking for towers while I'm there??

Um...airplane mode + wifi on

Yes that's what airplane mode is for.

Older Phones had Airplane Mode turn off WiFi and any other radio, on the SIII, this is not the case.

Screen Time Out Not Functioning

I just updated to S3 to 4.1 Jellybean and now the screen time out function does not work. Is anyone else having the same problem?
You probably have smartstay enabled.

Smartstay is not enabled. I even changed it to time out after 15 seconds, nothing!
I'm going with you need to do a factory reset, it's suggested after the update any ways.

It works for me sometimes that happens to me what I do is I exit the app go to settings and turn off the GPS and then turn it back on that usually fixes it.

Stop Auto Activate

I just use my phone for a media player since I am heading overseas..... it is newly flashed and I keep getting the activate your device message. Any way of disabling that other than Airplane mode?
You can turn wi-fi on with airplane mode on if you need it.

any way to remove airplane mode???

i am running an earlier build of Beanstalk on my SCH-R760 and it's a known issue that airplane mode randomly turns itself on.well, it only used to happen once in a while, now it happens after almost every phone call and i have to reboot to turn airplane mode back off...
so, is there a way to just remove airplane mode completely as i never use it anyway?

Edit: I just woke up, and mentioned you may be in the wrong forum, but I just remembered, you have the USC variant that doesn't have 4g. There are ways to delete it from the power menu, but completely, I'm not sure about that.

Wifi calling in aosp

It's been awhile since I've had a t-mobile phone, but is it still the practice that aosp roms will never support wifi calling? Just wanted to get a status update on that. Thanks!
