Ive noticed an annoying glitch with the Airplane Mode toggle, if I put it into airplane mode as I would at night, the following morning it wont re- connect and I have to toggle it on then reboot the phone to connect. This gets old pretty quick Any ideas? I'm on T-mobile contract and dont use Blur.
I've got a similar glitch where when I turn off airplane mode, the phone connects to the 3g data network even if 3g data is disabled in the options
rom: 2.51.1

Well... next time this happens try this for the hell of it: INFO (*#*#4636#*#* on dial pad) > Phone information > scroll down to "radio" and see if it is OFF. Turn it on and see if it then works.
Or... after you shut off airplane mode, have you tried turning on wifi? What happens?

Just tried this while radio still active (airplane mode off, i.e phone normal) amd hit Dial. Got a Running USSD code message then an error message, something like wrong MMI. No Phone information or options ( must only work when airplane mode is on)
Sometimes when my phone comes out of sleep mode, the wi-fi doesn't pick up at all, so I have to disable and then re-enable it.
I tried reinstalling the radio button and still nothing.
I have Battery Defender and GSAM Battery installed and thought maybe it had something to do with the settings there to save power, but there doesn't seem to be anything there that would affect the wi-fi.
Anyone with any thoughts?
Thank you

Battery defender might be putting your WiFi to sleep to save battery when your device goes to sleep.
Also check to make sure WiFi isn't set to standby on default.
Go into settings select WiFi tap menu button press advanced and make sure keep WiFi on during sleep is set to always or a similar setting

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.

that didn't work
i could check "keep wifi on" but whenever i went back to that settings page, it was unchecked again. like it was refusing to save.
the rest of the settings saved.

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
My WiFi doesn't seem to connect to saved hotspots until the screen is turned on. Whenever I get to work or back home and I don't turn on my phone; a couple hours later when I actually turn on the screen it connects. Does anyone else have this issue or know what might cause it? I'm not using any power saving apps or any apps that affect my network.
Try going into Settings-> Wifi -> Click menu button and select "Advanced" and make sure "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to always.

can anyone else verify this happens for them too? I have tried a complete format/wipe and loaded a stock 7105 rom and am still having the issue.
Maybe if you have power saver on, it does that? I know it's lot listed under what it's done, but you never know (;
Other than that, I can't think of anything other than keeping WiFi on during sleep.

it's off :< My roommate's S3 and my other roommate's N4 both auto connect without touching the phone. Once you turn the screen on it's already connected to wifi while mine is on edge until I power on the screen.
The only reason this is an issue is that I use grooveIP for calls through data, so if I have no reception here (i.e. no data) I won't be able to reliable receive calls unless I remember to power on my screen every time I come home.
I've just bought an S22 256gb and the issue I have is that the Wi-Fi keeps turning off. I've done several factory resets and turned off all automation, disabled adaptive power saving and everything else I can see that might cause it to turn off. I'm not on an unlimited data plan so this is driving me mad! Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Try turning off the following settings:
Settings -> Connections-> WiFi -> 3 dots in the upper right corner -> Advanced:
- Switch to mobile data (this is probably it since it was on by default on my device)
- Turn on WiFi automatically
- WiFi power saving mode
Thank you, I'll try that.
