Very interested! Coz I have poor signal reception inside my home (signal is worse than -100Dbm and sometimes vanishes at all) and basically I don't need cell-connection sometimes. So, how should I act to temporally disable cell-module? Airplane mode doesn't suit me coz I need working Wi-Fi connection, but Airplane mode turns everything off. All I need is only Wi-Fi enabled to preserve battery power. Help me please.
However I found solution myself. Look for OneClick Widget on the Market. It allows to keep WiFi on even when changing to Airplane mode, also it allows to toggle WiFi when in Airplane mode.

not sure if this should be asked in general discuss or the q&a section so yeah...
I wanted to refresh my WiFi signal on my tablet so I put it to airplane mode, but accidently i slid the wifi back on WITH airplane mode still active. so... basically I'm running on both airplane and WiFi at the same time?
** seems Bluetooth,NFC,Location and GPS can all be turned on without deactivating the airplane mode.....
usually airplane mode shuts off all data and or radio frequencies on a device right? so what's the point of airplane mode? on a WiFi only device?
sent from xda headquarters.... no lie
In theory - airplane mode should switch off all transmitters.
I typically do that on my cell phone, then enable wifi for use in my house.
I view Airplane mode as a Master Off, with individual services able to be turned on even if it is in Airplane Mode.
Its always been so. Airplane maode turns off the radio, not wifi, bluetooth and so on. the confusion occures because our current generation devices usually have same chips and antenna for them.
Basically, radio signals emitted from cellphone can alter/affect the reading in airplane(and other things that run on radio, bt wifi, bluetooth run on far different frequency waves and thus are allowed in aviation and thus not controlled by airplane mode.
Hi, I'm kinda of curious about how the cellphone connection impacts the battery life. Does anyone know if there's a way to disable it without having to remove the simcard? I know you can disable mobile data but that still leaves a cell connection open.
Duuurrr... Airplane mode with wifi on. I assumed Airplane mode would kill all signals.
Anyone know if I can disable the cell signal automatically on the unrooted nexus 6P?
I know I can pop it in airplane mode and then turn back on bluetooth & wifi but I want to automate this process so that when I'm at work it will toggle the cell radio off.
Any ideas?
Ok, so I setup tasker to turn on Wifi and Bluetooth when I put the phone in airplane mode. It's not ideal but it's a start.
If anyone's got a better idea, please let me know
I am assuming I can't turn off just the cell without root.
Can't you use NFC tags for tasks like this?
I can't find anything saying it would work airplane mode or turning the cell off though.
since we have root for our phones can someone tell me what to change to have wifi calling on all the time not just when we have low signal?
Just for those who might not know: even without root, you can always force WiFi calling by (1) turning on Airplane Mode (which turns off WiFi if it's on); (2) turning WiFi back on, leaving Airplane Mode on (you can also re-enable BT and NFC). Then you've got WiFi calling.
But it would be more convenient to have WiFi calling stay turned on without needing Airplane Mode. I don't know if/how rooting lets you do that.

Thanks. I know this already. You know what i'm looking for. I hope someone will have answer.
this has been very vexing mainly because I don't know how to craft the google-fu to get beyond "no wifi in air plane mode".
Basically, when you turn on airplane mode it disables wifi. You can then enable it an all is good. However, for me it appears that when you disconnect from a wifi network in airplane mode the wifi network can no longer be connected. Once you turn airplane mode the wifi network comes back up but if you enable it the wifi network is gone. Other wifi networks are still there in both modes but just not the one you forgot.
Using wifi analyzer the wifi network is still being detected by the phone but the phone won't connect.
Any thoughts on how to solve this one?
For future readers it appears that if you run into this issue you can turn off airplane mode connect and then turn airplane mode on again and it will work. Sometimes. This is my solution until I can figure out what the heck is actually happening.
