I can't for the life of me work out how to do it, the best I can manage is sending it to sleep, but its still ready to receive calls. I suppose I couls put it in flight mode then put it to sleep, but it would be easier if I could just turn it off by pressing a button without having to pull the battery
Basically you can't switch the PDA side completely off.
You can switch the phone off with Wireless Manager or Use the Flight Mode Link. Thats the same as powering off your Mobile Phone at night etc.

Flight Mode IS the way of turning it off. However you could also use something like Pocket Zen Phone (search xda-dev) which adds 'profiles' to the phone/device - you can then turn the phone on/off (plus plenty of other operations) by just tapping an icon on the screen.
I had this all working on 4.2.2, but after update to 4.3, I can no longer toggle airplane mode on and off via Power Toggles. It seems I can still toggle GPS, WIFi, etc., but when I try airplane mode, I get a message saying Power Toggles has stopped?
I also use NFC tags and I can no longer use them to toggle airplane mode on or off as well....
I am still rooted FWIW.
I've had my S7 Edge G935A since release date. I love this phone, never had a problem until yesterday.
So I left work placing my phone in my pocket checked the time after departing since the meeting ran late all looked good on my phone.
walked into my buddy's house wanted to show him a picture, and my entire screen was greyscale, I thought maybe extreme powersave got turned on in my pocket, so I swipe down to access quick settings, and they are all gone, the gear is there. I tap the gear, and settings comes up:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Mobile Networks
More Connection settings
Edge screen
Battery
Help
NO Other settings no way to swipe just access to those settings,
Click my list of apps and only the like the default gapps.
I have not rooted, or done any major things to the phone I did use adb to format the memory card as internal storage.
I searched google and only found options to turn on greyscale, but I had no access to accessibility in settings, no access to power saving mode.
If I restarted my phone it would come up in color then go greyscale.
I took it to AT&T they stared at it for 30 min before recommending a factory reset.
I didn;t want to but I didn't know what else to do.
Has anyone seen this, know what I did, or how to undo it?
It's fixed now I'm just wondering how it happened and how to undo it if I somehow do it again
Lol you just activated ultra power saving mode or emergency mode.

So how do you turn that off without factory wiping it, when it won't give you access settings or apps?
I thought Ultra savings mode too but couldn't turn it off because I didn't have access to settings

Emergency Mode Emergency
mode conserves your device’s remaining power when you are in an emergency situation. Emergency mode saves battery power by:
• Changing the color of the screen to grayscale.
• Restricting application usage to only essential applications and those you select.
• Turning off Mobile data when the screen is off.
• Turning off connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ® .
Note: When Emergency mode is turned off, the Location settings may stay the same as they were in Emergency mode. Activate Emergency Mode To activate Emergency mode:
1. Press and hold the Power key to display the Device options window.
2. Tap Emergency mode > Turn on. • When accessing for the first time, read the Terms and conditions. If you accept them, tap the Checkbox, and then tap Agree. Confirm when prompted.
Turn Off Emergency Mode ?
From the Emergency mode Home screen, tap More > Turn off Emergency mode
This is what it was, but somehow I got the Google Now launcher while in emergency mode, so I didn't have the more option to turn it off.
Thanks I knew someone here would know

When you have either of the modes activated, there is a "more" button on the upper right of the screen (the actual screen area, not the notification). Press that and there should be a turn off option.
Using Good Lock, I don't see any notification about WiFi calling being turned on. I didn't care until earlier today when I apparently lost WiFi calling for a while without knowing it (the phone didn't respond to incoming calls, and when I eventually tried I couldn't make an outgoing call, even though the phone had a strong WiFi connection). I force WiFi calling by turning on Airplane Mode, then re-enabling WiFi (which Airplane Mode initially turns off).
So it would be useful to have a WiFi Calling notification icon, which I seem to recall from before I started using Good Lock. Is there any way to keep Good Lock but get that notification icon back?
Is there a way to automatically toggle on than off the airplane mode when signal is lost ive had a issue on Verizon where when i loose signal it doesn't automatically come back until i toggle airplane mode on than off so im trying to find a way to make my phone do this as soon as i loose signal I cant figure Tasker out and every other app doesnt work right
Tasker used to be able to do things like this..
Might be worth a shot
