I would think that would be enough. It turns your radios off.

Airplane mode disables the radio... or not?

Yesterday I had my phone on airplane mode all day while at work. I don't have any verizon reception there leading to a dead battery by noon. Around 4PM i got a text message. Wondering if this may have somehow taken 8 hours to trickle from the radio through my phone I confirmed the time she sent the message. Around 4PM. Anyone have any explanations for this other than Google turning the radio on to spy on me at random times of the day?
I placed my Incredible in Airplane mode and sent text messages from both inside and outside the VZW network. None got through until I placed it back in regular mode. I also travel quite a bit and it has never gotten an email or SMS while I had it in airplane mode.
Perhaps, at the time you got the message, you had somehow activated the radio.

Airplane Mode not always working on Verizon Xoom

For everyone using the Xoom data plan and placing it in airplane mode, it may not shut it down. 3x over the past week I have been traveling on the train with my Xoom in Airplane mode and wifi on (was afraid of data usage). Well I was getting "Dings" for email. When i looked, it had full bar on the VZ network and was still in "ON" mode for airplane. Switching Airplane off and on rectified this issue.
Has anyone else experiened this? It is just something to be mindful of.
I returned my Xoom (VZ could not get me hooked up to my VZ) and am getting the wifi one next week.
Fortunate for me I haven't had this issue
Ii have my 3g off all the time,... only turn it on when needed
Since airplane mode is actually supposed to turn off wifi as well, I suspect turning wifi back on can sometimes trigger the radio to activate since you technically are no longer in airplane mode.
That said, if you are normally in a good wifi area I would recommend setting the wifi sleep policy to never if you can.
I'm gonna bet anything the bar you saw was actually WiFi and you'd just inadvertently associated with an open WiFi connection while on the train.
FWIW, I've never found my CDMA radio set unintentionally out of Airplane Mode (where my Xoom stays 95% of the time).

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?

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

[Q] How do you turn on Airplane mode automatically?

How do you turn on Airplane mode automatically when you don't have any signal? To save battery life.
I've noticed cell standby is one of the apps that uses my battery the most. I think it would help me greatly because I live in New York City and spend at least 2 and a half hours a day in the subway with little to no cell coverage
I know there's apps that Let you do this manually, is there one that automates this process.

If you are rooted, you can use Tasker with the Secure Settings plug-in. You'll need to install the Secure Settings helper from within the app to be able to change airplane mode. You can then set up a Tasker profile which triggers airplane mode on or off based on various events or phone states. I'm not sure if you can trigger it when you don't have signal, but you might be able to find some other trigger or combination of triggers that works for you. Hope this helps!

Wi-Fi is not automatically turned on after airplane mode is disabled

Every night I put my phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge) in airplane mode to disable all communications. However, in the morning, when I disable airplane mode, only mobile data internet is automatically enabled but that is not the case for Wi-Fi.
I have noticed that his behaviour usually happens after the phone has been standing for a long time in airplane mode, like during the course of an entire night. If airplane mode is enabled for instance only for like 1 hr, wi-fi is usually enabled after I disable flight mode.
Do you know how to solve this issue? I always would like to have re-enabled wifi after airplane mode so to don't suck internet mobile data.
