Hi.
I'm looking to find a nice apk and would like your suggestion about it.
I have an unrooted galaxy and at my work there are areas where the signal isnt great. So I'm trying to find an apk that would allow the phone to automatically go to flight mode after say x amount of sec. And then wake up again to go into signal either after a specific time period or if there is a way for the phone to reach a proper signal again. Obviously being on flight mode there is no way for the phone to look for a signal so I suppose it would only be a matter of timing to turn on and recheck for signal.
I have read of changes you could make on the bootloader that saves energy for this purpose and I ha e rooted a galaxy before but I have never done a bootloader change as I haven't seen a proper guide as to what command to put where so as not to brick the phone.
Looking on playstore I see that all apps tend to only get you in or out flight mode with time schedule.
You can use Tasker to do what you're asking and much more.

First of all, you guys doing the development for our devices are simply amazing. By improving the usability of our pda phones you are actually significantly improving the quality of day to day life (at least for me personally). It's a big deal, so thank you for all your work.
I don't post very often, but I lurk every day and generally have no issues to post about, but now one has come about that I need some help with.
_________
So I just began using Chainfire's WMWifiRouter yesterday for the first time, and it works perfectly for me. To be able to wirelessly tether multiple laptops is an unbelievably useful and cool capability. One of the features built in which is a very welcome one is also causing me a problem.
As you all know (if you've used the program) it is set up to keep the wifi active if you hit the power button and put the device in standby.
My issue is that it seems that the change it makes to keep the wifi active in standby doesn't revert to the default setting when the program is closed. So when I'm not using the program and I am connected to a wifi network in my house, and I press the power button, the battery is still draining very fast. Normally I can keep it in standby all day just waiting for calls to come in to wake it up and the battery will barely go down. But today I put it in standby and try to turn it on a couple hours later and it's completely dead.
It is just my assumption that the problem is caused by what I described because using this program is the only new thing I've begun doing since yesterday before the problem existed. Soft reset doesn't change anything, and the "crash cleanup" option doesn't help.
Can anyone confirm that I am correct in my assumption of the cause of the problem? Or any other ideas of what could be causing it? Just to be clear, I'm using a version that came with my rom (Colonel's 12-28-07 custom rom for the sprint mogul) and it is an older verion, v.081. I would try the newest version, but I couldn't find any details on the website about how much it costs once the trial is over.
Thanks a lot if anyone can help, I'd appreciate any bits of insight even if you're not completely sure.
THANK YOU!
So, no one has any thoughts on this?
It is becoming quite annoying to have to turn off the wifi in the comm manager every time I put the phone into standby just so it's not dead in an hour and a half.
Also, if I leave the wifi on and hit the power button, when I turn it back on the symbol shows the wifi connection still active but when trying to stream a radio station or open a browser it won't connect, and I have to turn off and back on the wifi to get a new working connection.
I'd just like to know if any of the other thousands of wmwifirouter users have the same experience, or just haven't noticed it or what.
Thanks.
Mogulus: Please try my Wifi Profiles -option Wifi Power->Normal Mode in menu.
BINGO!!!
Your program absolutely did the trick, thank you so much.
The only other suggestion I got was to flip off the wifi switch before entering standby and flipping it back on when returning from standby. Well that is simple enough but when you're picking the thing up every few minutes to check a random thing that pops in your head, that extra step gets so annoying.
Again, thanks a lot, you can expect a donation from me.
Thank you!!

Hmmm... I think I just found a way to really screw up your phone... let's see what you think of my theory:
1. Put your phone into Airplane mode. This will completly turn off all the radios in the phone.
2. Go into settings and set an unlock pattern.
3. Put your phone into standby mode and turn it back on.
4. If you use up all of your tries at the unlocḱ screen you will have to enter your login details to unlock it. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL IN AIRPLANE MODE. Hence, the phone will not be able to connect to Googles servers for verification. And the worst thing is that not even a shut down of the phone will remove the airplane mode. Not even a removal of the battery.
THe only way to get out of this is to do a hardware reset of the phone.
What do you this of this?
I am not gonna test my theory since I don't want to risk having to do a hardware reset.
I think before the phone tries to connect to the Google service it will prompt you with a 'turn off airplane mode/turn on mobile data/WiFi' option, like it does when you open an app that requires WiFi or GPS when those radios are switched off.
Try it

Nah... I am not going to get close and personal with my theory on this one... Just let's hope you're right... someone else might need to do a hardware reset?
A quote from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4351252&postcount=13 this post says it all...
Hereby can any available moderator close this thread since I have gotten my answers...
Basically Im looking for an app that I can use to shut everything down on my phone literally except calls and texts. I know I can use airplane mode, but I still want calls and texts. I work 10 hour shifts and it sucks having little to no battery left when I get off work.
I do not use my phone for anything at work, but with a wife, kid, and one on the way, I need to be reachable.
I have the brightness all the way down, everything except background data is off or on manual sync, I guess is my next step to root? Can someone point me to a rooting tutorial?

We do not have WiFi at my work, I know that there are settings that I can shut off data and such but I just wish I could link all the things that I want to be shut off to one widget button on my home screen.

Turn off 3G
Hi Guys,
I work at location just outside of signal reception, therefore while I'm at work for 12 hours my phone hunts for reception and uses more power than it should.
I'm looking for a time based profile app that I can set and it will switch to flight mode at a certain time and then switch off flight mode at a predefined time and maybe even use it at night while in bed sleeping.
Anyone have any recommendations for the best one to go with?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, if it is you can all take an open shot at me.
Cheers
I'm actually really interested in an app like that too, most of my classes are in the basement of my school and it's kind of a pain to switch into airplane mode everytime I go to one of the said classes, and if I forget my phone easily eats through 20% of my battery...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
This is the closest I have found:
https://market.android.com/details?id=be1ay.flymode&feature=related_apps
but maybe the ability to set more than one profile would be good so you don't have to go in and change the settings, plus one that boots with the phone?
My phone is auto calling 911 when I reboot or soft reboot, but it shows on screen as "Unknown". One of my apps is triggering a 911 call and masking it as "Unknown". Even if I reboot in airplane mode the moment I toggle airplane mode off, it proceeds to making the call to "Unknown"(911), and I have to rush to end it before 911 dispatch calls me back. So can anyone help me with trying to monitor which apk is responsible for triggering that call?
It only does it once after a reboot, and won't do it again till the next reboot(or soft reboot). I attached my phone info. I am rooted and I recently installed Xposed Installer, the framework and some modules, see attached photos for a list of the most recently downloaded apps.
Also, I am currently running a scan for any malware etc via Lookout. I have OS Monitor but can't really understand what it's showing me. Please help, I was able to soft boot earlier with no problem, now my phone auto calls.
you're posting in the wrong forum..
Oh sorry. Where should i post this?
well, you could start by posting in a thread that your phone belongs to; this is a Note 4 thread
