Hi guys,
Is there a possibility to turn only the phone off on the SGT? When I'm in the plane I want the phone to be switced off but still be able to use the BT headphones. If I take the tab off te Airplane Mode, the phone starts too. If Airplane Mode is on you cannot turn on bluetooth. Any suggestions in this regard?
Thanks.

When your on a Plane most companies and some countries don't let your devices send any signals eg. Bluetooth, So chances are its a good thing that you can't have BT in aeroplane mode
Some don't but some do allow you to use BT. I still would like to have a choice.

Hold the power button, turn off "data network mode"
Turning off data network will not switch off the radio - you will still be able to make emergency calls.

Can I make emergency calls with a US spec tab?
I thought all calls were artificially restricted.
I'll be flying again tomorrow. Any news on this please?

Go into flight mode (press power button 3 sec). After that you can reactivate bluetooth or wifi in the setting menu (slider on the home screen). Phone radio will stay off. This does not work with the power control wideget strangely.
I use this at home when on wifi and want the calls to be received on another mobile (o2 multicard). At least on my german galaxy tab with phone function this works.
If I put it in flight mode the BT button won't work, as in greyed out.

On my old HTC dash I was able to turn off all services independently in a way that i could insure that my phone was off yet I could still use my WiFi. This worked well for vacations so that i did not receive any roaming charges for people who may call my phone while gone. The only thing I think that may work is an app called apndroid? Any other suggestions?
Force EVDO?

you can have wifi on in airplane mode...in sense there is also a setting to disable the mobile network. it even has a convenient little widget. or in mobile network setting u can set it to home only. out of home network evdo wont work with that. u can also change it to only sync data and background services with wifi. if that helps at all

Are you on Sprint? As I understand it, most of the unlimited data plans have no roaming these days...
When you go to wireless and networks and enable airplane mode, you are still able to turn your wifi on..
Nothing should have to be changed to allow this...
When I turn off Mobile Network, I am still able to place calls... I just lose EvDO.
Because after you turn off mobile network, when you press call, it automatically turns it on for the duration of the call.
Turn airplane mode on, and see if you can hit wifi...

Mobile Network != phone radio.
If you turn off Mobile Network, it's turning off data only. The only way to turn off the phone radio without turning on Airplane Mode is to go into *#*#4636#*#* turn it off in Phone Info.
However, wireless should work just fine in Airplane Mode. Just use the Wi-Fi on/off widget from HTC or the Power Control android widget.
While i have an unlimited plan I will be outside the US where there may or may not be sprint coverage. I have turned on airplane mode from both holding down the power as well as from the settings menu. Both options do not allow you to turn on wifi after airplane mode is on. I am still running stock 1.5 sense android. Not sure what others are running.
I am using APNdroid app for switching data connection from WIFI to 3G. However, I need to restart the phone every time to make it work.
Is this normal ? or Is there anyway we can fix it? I have searched through all the threads but didn't get much info.
Your help is much appreciated.
Not the answer to your question, but if you turn off 3G *only* when you turn on Wi-Fi, you don't have to do anything. While connected to Wi-Fi the data connection isn't on.
If you leave 3G on, Wifi (when enabled and connected) will disable 3G. Also superpower (in the app store) will turn off wifi and 3g when the screen is off. I also recommend Power Control Plus which provides a widget in which you can customize each button and toggle 3G and Wifi on the fly.
Thanks for the replies guys...To be more specific on the problem , I don't have any issue while I am on wifi its only when I switch to 3G...i tried beautiful widgets also ...looks like the problem is with phone rather than app

switching wcdma to gsm gives problems here too, .. so i wont!
Hey all, Just looking for some advice for my upcoming vacation.
I'm planning on taking my phone with me on vacation in a couple of weeks. Primarily I'll be using as a camera, but I'd also like to keep on top of my emails via hotel WiFi only.
I do not however want to make/receive calls or use any kind of roaming data etc.
Basically my question is what do I need to disable so I just have WiFi available and nothing else? How do I disable the radio without putting it into airplane mode (which obviously disables WiFi)
HTC obviously thought of airplanes with WiFi. Turn on airplane mode, wifi turns off, but you can turn it back on without enabling the radios and leaving airplane mode enabled.

Great, so simple, many thanks for the quick response!
Also, If you're just using Wifi, You should remove your Sim Card, just in case airplane mode turns off somehow, you don't get data charges from syncing functions.
Enjoy your vacation.
I'm using this as an ipod replacement and I finally figured out how to turn off the cell radio, I think.
open dial pad
dial *#*#4636#*#* (If Testing menu doesn’t come up then click "Call" and it will come up)
go to Phone information
Scroll down
turn off radio
I assumed wrongly before that the cell radio was automatically turned off since I didn't have a sim card AND since the option to turn off 3G data was disabled in the Wireless settings section. But out of curiosity, I clicked on battery info and it said that my cell radio was on this whole time! See attachment.
Turning on Airplane does turn off the cell, but it also turned off the Wifi and GPS. You can turn Wifi back on after Airplane mode, but it doesn't work properly, try using XMBC remote with Airplane mode and Wifi on, it doesn't work.
So, I guess I'll see tomorrow if this really works but so far it looks promising!
sweet thanks for the info
Get tasker and make a toggle switch of the code

I tried the keypad code you listed and nothing happens. I really need a way to turn off the phone and keep bluetooth on while at work in order to listen to my music with bluetooth headphones. I was able to use the code successfully before the Froyo update.
On mine, I simply switch on airplane mode then switch on wifi. Voila! Phone off, wifi on.
Nevermind, did not see reply that some apps don't work with this workaround...

Couldn't you just pull the SIM card???
Edit - Nevermind. I suppose the radio is still on for emergency calls...
Hi, I have enabled Airplane mode and WiFi. However, I still cannot use WiFi at home. In particular, the device keeps scanning for network connection. After I chose my home network, it stayed there for about a second "remembered". Then, when the device started scanning again, my home network connection was disabled. Since I cannot connect to the network for more than a second, I cannot use WiFi yet. Is there something wrong with my new device? Please help.
P.S. For some reason, Mobile Network, Bluetooth Settings and Call are dimmed. I don't use 3G.
You need to turn off airplane mode, having it on blocks all network activity.

Actually not true, I can still connect to wifi when on airplane mode. If your in an airplane and there is wifi than this helps switching the phone to airplane mode than just using the provided wifi.
Anyways about the wifi, looks like it could be your modem settings if you changed them recently, if you didn't change them, forget your network on your phone and re add your network which will refresh your modem's settings. After this it should connect fine
