Hi on my wife note 2 "data for cellular" keeps turning itself OFF.
I have checked power saving mode it's off.
She is using wifi optimizer, but has always used this.
She is on stock version 4.3
Can anyone assist?
Try toggling your airplane mode on/off and if that doesnt work try ##72786# on your dial pad.

Do you have the sprint connection optimizer on?

How can I turn off all of the cellular radios on a droid incredible? I don't want it to look for any cell signal at all while still being able to use bluetooth and wifi.
DAMNIT!!! I FORGOT A TITLE
I think if you turn on airplane mode and then enable WiFi after it will work as you want

Ok good. I was under the impression that airplane mode meant no wifi too.

Turn off airplane mode.
WiFi calling is disabled while in Airplane mode. (I just checked for you)

Thanks. But I don't want to get any accidental charges. Is there any hack just to enable the WiFi calling

Correct me if im wrong but doesn't airplane mode essentially turn off all radios?
Just turn off your data connection if thats what you are worried about.

but +1 on turn off data,
and yes flight mode turns all the radios off

So what are you saying is if I have data off and cell tower and WiFi on. And don't pickup the calls unless I m on WiFi. I won't get charged for roaming?
Sent from my SGH-T999
as long as your wifi is on, and you have the iconc in left top corner all calls are routed thrue wifi, just to be safe turn the data off
I usually connect to wifi at work, but it is currently down, so I shut down wifi on the phone.
Of course, connections optimizer turns it right back on since it knows there is a network here. So, I decide to turn off CO, then turn off wifi. And wifi immediately turns back on. Then, when I check CO, it is enabled again.

Do you have root? You can try freezing it with Titanium Backup Pro

Yeah, we had that with one of our reps advocate device, it was a persistent little bastard but he finally got it to stay off. I think he might have thrown a reboot in there somewhere

Not rooted. Wifi is up and running again, so not a big deal. Just something I noticed.

Do you have "Google's location service" enabled under "Location Services"? That setting "Lets apps use data from sources such as Wi-Fi..."
Big tip about connection optimizer. Once you uncheck it do not go back into the connection optimizer setting. Doing so will automatically enable itself. I don't know why sprint does this but it's been like that on my GS2 and now on my Note. Try unchecking it and hitting home. Once you do that manually turn off wifi and see if it stays off.

That shouldn't matter. I always keep those on they don't turn on wifi automatically. It gets location if you're on wifi but if you're not it'll use your network connection instead.

Do not go back into Optimizer again once you turn it off! It's like that on any Sprint device. It will automatically turn itself back on.
If you're rooted, just delete the app. That's what I did

What he said.

I'm going to be in a GSM country for a while, and I'm bringing my SIII cuz it's a capable little tablet computer. I wish to disable the cellular radio completely because there aren't going to be any CDMA signals around and it'll kill the battery looking at full power (I'd think).
Is there a way to disable cellular while leaving the wifi antenna up? I imagined it'd be simple, but I'm finding it hard to even search for. Usually people just want to disable the mobile data and leave voice up for sms or whatever.
What about Airplane Mode?

I would assume he still wants to connect to Wifi.
I haven't heard of any Mods or settings that completely turn off the radio (data and phone/text). I'll keep my eyes open, though.
Turn on Airplane Mode which shuts off everything, then turn on the Wifi by itself. Used it in Europe that way without a problem.

Ah, I didn't know this worked. Back on my old Evo, once airplane mode was on, Wifi couldn't be turned on. It looks like they've improved the airplane mode functionality in the last 2-3 years.

I still have my Evo and can connect to Wifi in airplane mode.
So, after being unable to use T-Mobile inflight texting and Gogo not being able to tell me much about why, I finally tried to see if I could connect to wifi calling at home (where it has and still does work regularly) while in Airplane mode. To my surprise, I couldn't, and the moment I turned Airplane Mode off, wifi calling came right back. Has this been everyone else's experience as well? Any known workarounds?
TIA

Because airplane mode turns off the WiFi radio?

But I can turn wifi back on and use it with airplane mode on. Wifi calling never comes back, and I didn't have this problem with my T-Mobile Note 3.

I can definitely use wifi calling while in airplane mode. Are you getting a REG99 error? or an ER81?
I'm getting the REG99 error indeed. And if I pay for gogo, I can connect and use the WiFi, just can't use the WiFi calling.

Nope, I had the same error while on the plane. I've made three trips recently, and all of them have failed. I hit up the customer service through their website on my phone, and each time, was granted a two hour pass (duration of the flight) to use hangouts instead.
This occurred on different airlines with all three flights.
TMO was not able to figure this out either, since I had them look into this since the first time it failed on me.
Yeah, definitely seems like my phone won't do WiFi calling when airplane mode is on.

There are documented problems with wifi calling and xposed. As I recall, the gist of it is that with xposed installed, Wi-Fi calling works only if lte is available. Without xposed, wifi calling will work with wifi only, as it's expected to.
There's a thread somewhere here about this on the t-mobile section. Basically if you install a deodexed rom, wifi calling works as it's supposed to.
Thanks for the heads up! Guess I won't be wifi texting on flights.

Circling back, flashing a deodexed ROM indeed fixed it. Thanks! [emoji106]
