From the manual, page 124:
"... Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Tap Wireless & networks, and then select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. The phone then scans for available wireless networks. ..."
Though I have mine on ALL the time and the percentage battery used by wifi is minimal. The screen takes a much larger percentage.

Just download a wfi on/off app form the market like curve fish...
The WiFi is switched off then after 5 mins I check and WiFi is on. So the WiFi doesn't drain the battery?? if this is true then my problem is solved.

So, did you even check the battery performance with WIFI on
In any case, just put a WIFI widget on your homescreen, you can then manually turn it on and off as you please....really easy
O checked last night and the WiFi doesn't affect the battery very much. I just added the power dashboard widget and manualy turn off WiFi.

Hi guys. I use WiFi a lot but I have 500MB for free to use now so I tried using it by enabling mobile network and nothing actually happens. Why is this? Is there a problem ?

if you want to use mobile networking instead of wifi, you need do turn wifi off.
if both mobile networking and wifi are enabled, your phone will use wifi.
Thank you for responding. I found the issue. I had WiFi off of course but I had to reboot my phone. Many wildfire users have this problem. Thank you anyway

Hi all!!!
What's the utility of the airplane mode in a wi-fi tablet?
Thanks in advance!!!
it is more of a legal issue, as most airlines banned all electronic devices that dont have airplane mode.
It is also an easy way to save power when you aren't using the device.

Hello everyone, I've tried to find the answer to this from multiple websites and forums but nobody was able to give me an satisfactory answer.
Sometimes I need to turn off my mobile network but want to keep on my WiFi as I'm usually calling people through Skype, whatsapp and Facebook messenger, I've tried Airplane mode but it turns off all the communication devices in the phone i.e wifi, Bluetooth and mobile network. I was wondering is there any way in which I could keep my WiFi connected and disable only my Sim Network as I don't afford to keep on connecting and reconnecting my WiFi again and again by turning on airplane mode.
Any help would be a life saver.
Thank you

Dude I don't think you understood my question here. The problem is i want to shut off my cellular NETWORK (not the cellular data) . When i put my mobile on airplane mode(it turns off my cellular NETWOK, but also turns off my wifi). I am finding a way around if this can be avoided by ONLY turning off the Cellular NETWORK not th WiFi.
Hope that clears my point =)

That's what I told in the post, that i don't want my WiFi to turn off by activating airplane mode, as im usually connected to calls through WiFi, and its really a hassle to call again and again just because of my Cellular network signal.

So leave data on...disable cell network and leave WiFi alone.... how about setting WiFi calling to only use WiFi?
Edit: what model note 4? What I show is for the 910T.

Bro maybe I'm not making myself clear enough here, let me tell you in detail. Look, I don't use my cellular data(by cellular I mean the Sim Network like AT&T, Orange). I use wifi to call, like on Facebook messenger, Skype. The problem that I'm facing is that where I live, sometimes the my Sim Network signals drop, therefore I turn on the airplane mode to completely shut down cellular network so I can deactivate the airplane mode later so I can get my cellular network signals back again. Now in doing this process i.e turning on the airplane mode, the phone turns off my WiFi too. That is very annoying as I'm usually connected to Skype calls through my WiFi. I was looking for a way that if we could JUST TURN OFF CELLULAR NETWORK WITHOUT THE PHONE AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OFF THE WIFI.
I hope now I cleared my point
Thanks for the help =)

Bro, maybe you aren't paying attention. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has the ability to operate purely on WiFi while airplane mode is enabled. So if you turn on airplane mode, initially it will turn off all networks (voice,text, wifi, Bluetooth, etc.). After that, you can manually turn the wifi back on and it will work purely from the wifi network.
Try the Do Not Disturb feature. That may be what you're looking for.
