So a few weeks ago, I noticed when my nook reboots, it does not automatically turn on the wifi. I have to do it from the settings area. If I do it from the notification bar, it doesn't work so hot. I put on green power today to see if that would help me flush out the issue and, even though wifi is on right now, green power is insisting that the airplane mode is on. If I set airplane mode on in settings, it does turn off the wifi and it sets in a state where it says "disabling wifi connections". It never toggles over to a check being there for airplane mode and giving me control. I have to back out of the settings and come back. When I do, airplane mode is not visibly listed as being on. I can turn the wifi on and green power insists airplane mode is on. If I reboot, sure enough, no automatic wifi.
Any ideas? I've got CM-7 08042011 running.

Magnetron1 from the cyanogenmod forums has a way to avoid this. Go here and find the most recent nightly he modified. I believe it's cm7 nightly 251. He named it cm7 nightly 251m*. That did the trick for me. I've been downloading my nightlies here ever since the airplane mode issue appeared.
Download android assistant from the market and then uncheck airplane mode.

This worked. It had an airplane icon down in blue and when I clicked it, green power finally has said airplane mode is off. Hopefully wifi will be on by default now when it reboots.
Edit-confirmed working. When nook reboots, wifi now defaults to on again. Awesome!

So I have found the answers to both the battery and the gps issues. The problem: fix for one is the cause for the other.
How to fix gps: reboot phone. Should get instant lock in maps.
How to fix battery: toggle airplane mode. Breaks gps locking. Reboot phone, breaks battery life extension.
I also believe the phone isn't reporting battery life properly. Had 11% battery when I got off of work. Toggled airplane mode to make it through the day. Plugged the car charger in and instantly was at 18%. Not a ridculous jump, but by the time I was home I was at 44%... which is pretty quick for a phone tha takes forever to charge.

If you use the "toggle airplane mode" workaround for the battery and reboot, you have to toggle it all over again. Takes a few seconds. This does not break the GPS.

Does on my phone. In order for me to get GPS, I have to reboot. As soon as I toggle Airplane Mode, GPS gone.
Edit: I think I see what you're saying. toggling airplane mode again worked for getting GPS back.

To be clear, there are two actions required for the toggle: Turn on Airplane Mode; immediately turn it off again.
Then, if you ever reboot, you need to do both steps of the toggle again.

I realize what toggle means. But when I was doing it, the GPS no longer worked (data back on). I did again and GPS worked again. So basically, hitting airplane 4 times.
I've already posted this on Android Central forums but have had no luck so I figured maybe someone here can help.
So this just happened to me last night. I was low on charge somewhere less than 15%. I plugged in my phone and turned it off with Wi-Fi and CDMA radio on. I turned it on a couple minutes later and it booted up in airplane mode. That's okay cause I can just turn airplane mode off. I do that and everything works fine BUT my lock screen still says "Airplane mode is on". If it matters I'm using the rooted Froyo 3.29 build that was released a little before the OTA came out.
Noticed another thing. When powering off it's going to airplane mode right before the screen turns off. I can see my Wi-Fi bars disappear and the airplane show up. Functionally it's fine but it kind of sucks I keep seeing the airplane when I press the power button even though it's no longer in airplane mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any possible fix to this?
EDIT:
Sorry. I realize this should be moved to the Q&A. Any moderators out there please move. Thanks!
Running a Nook Color with CM7.1 stable. Kind of an odd issue here, I have two different Bluetooth GPS devices, and when they are paired to the Nook and I turn my screen off and then back on, it loses the connection. The only way to reconnect the devices is to restart the Nook, as it fails to connect after the screen is brought back up. I have found that if I have the Nook plugged in for power, this issue does not happen. I have tried multiple GPS apps, reflashed CM7.1 multiple times, but still have no success unless I have the Nook plugged in, or I just ensure the screen doesnt go to sleep.
I really need this to work, as I'm using this as a pilot, and I can't have the screen on the entire flight as it will drain the battery quickly. I swore it used to work before, but I know I had issues with it, and maybe now realize what was causing those issues. On a side note, my friend has also tested everything I have done, but his works consistently and reliably regardless if he leaves the screen off, or turns it on and off repetitively. Hopefully someone may have an idea!!
Thanks in advance.
So noone has any thoughts or ideas at all?
Well seeing as it doesn't happen when your plugged in that would make me think that it has something to do with the fact that WiFi turns off when the screen is turned off. The Bluetooth and WiFi are on the same module i do believe. The default setting for WiFi is to stay on all the time while plugged in and turn off when the screen is turned off while on battery.
My suggestion would be to turn the WiFi to stay on all the time and see if that changes anything. Go to WiFi settings --> menu --> advanced --> WiFi sleep policy -->never. That would be my suggestion, hope that works for ya!

That's what I was thinking too. It seems that when NC goes into deep sleep Bluetooth will lose connection. By removing deep sleep you should be able to stay connected, although your battery will drain faster than with deep sleep on, it should have a better life with screen off than on.
Well I appreciate both of your responses. However, I should have mentioned that I do already have Wi-Fi set to always stay on/never sleep. Any other suggestions?

Ok, so to clarify,
START
WIFI: OFF
AIRPLANE MODE: OFF
you turn on airplane mode. Then turn on WiFi
You use your wifi and then shut it off. Correct?
THen you turn off airplane mode and your wifi comes on automatically right?
exactly right! wifi come on automatically in the last step

I think when you turn off airplane mode it basically restores the settings you had before you turned it off. Try doing exactly the same steps with bluetooth and see if it happens, if what I'm guessing is correct then you can do the same thing and when you turn airplane mode off bluetooth will turn back on.

yeah that's what I was trying to figure out, I know if WiFi is on and I enable airplane mode, it saves that so when I turn airplane mode disabled, it restores the WiFi. So shut WiFi off before enabling airplane mode

Kl thanks for confirming that. @OP as long as you aren't using a Froyo build or an AOSP GB build, you will have the option to have the quick controls in the notification bar. Make use of it, it saves so much time. Drag down, tap the wifi icon THEN the airplane mode icon and you're all set. Even if you forget to turn wifi off before turning on airplane mode, using this you can always turn wifi off very easily afterwards anyway
so i can't enable wifi during airplane mode is on? it's a android bug i thing!

No, you CAN enable wifi when airplane mode is on, but before you turn airplane mode on turn wifi off. Anyway, I don't see how difficult it is to turn wifi off afterwards? Literally drag down the status bar and tap the wifi icon and you're done.
but i do this exactly and wifi return on when i disable airplane mode
I don't get what is going on here. I tap the wifi button in either quick settings or wifi settings, it shows on/green briefly (0.5sec), then switch slides back to off. I disabled tasker, thought something wacky could be going n there in my modes, but problem persists. Today I finally noticed that putting phone in airplane mode, then turning wifi on worked, wifi stayed on. After turning airplane mode off, now wifi keeps turning itself off again
Power saving is off
Wifi Smart network switch is off
In advanced Wifi settings:
notification off
passpoint off
sort by strength
keep wifi in during sleep is always
always allow scanning is on ( I think I have tried changing this in the past couple weeks and no effect)
autoconnect to at&t hotspots is on
I did some searching but couldn't find anything relevant. I have been burning up mobile data because of this! Any ideas?
