Just got the new nexus 4 and I'm trying to set it up like my galaxy nexus. I have tmobile's $30 / month plan and use sipdroid at home to make wifi calls so as not to go into my 100 minutes.
It seems like auto AP does not work on the nexus 4. In addition, when I manually toggle airplane mode it turns off all radios and I cannt reactivate wifi (even manually in settings). Any fix for this?

You do know the point of airplane mode, right? It disables EVERYTHING.
If you want ONLY wifi, disable data in your phone settings. In 2.3.6 (N4 today!) it's wireless and network settings, mobile networks, uncheck "data enabled"
You could also get a toggle app like widgetsoid and disable background data sync, or settings, accounts and sync settings, uncheck background data and auto-sync.

Right but on my galaxy nexus I could enable airplane mode turning off everything, then turn on wifi. All I'm looking to do is disable the cell connection whenever I'm connected to wifi.
This happens on my Nexus 4 as well. I had my Nexus S setup this way as well. I use CSipSimple + PBX account, etc. Anyways, Airplane mode constantly disables WiFi, no matter what. And yes the app AutoAP doesn't work either.
I have found this app, Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool, funny that it was made for Android versions prior to 2.0.
The actual app doesn't seem to work (to enable/disable airplane mode and WiFi), but within the app lies a nifty feature in the Preferences menu under Extras:
Keep Wi-fi On
Wi-fi on Airplane Mode
Check both of those and you should be able to turn Airplane mode on and then keep WiFi on.
Cheers.

You can try to see if those apps work.
AutoAir for automatically toggling airplane mode when connected to wifi (doesn't check if there's an actual connection to the Internet though. don't know if your app does)
Plane Mode Tweaker for allowing wifi and bt to be usable in airplane mode. It can also make it so wifi/bt don't get disabled upon entering airplane mode if they were enabled previously.
Y5 for automatically toggling wifi on when in range and off when away. Since it determines location by logging the cell towers you're connected to, the phone should not be in airplane mode initially. Walk around the house and anywhere you have wifi since you may be in range of multiple cell towers. It's best to leave the radio on for a few days so it can learn all the towers. After that, it works very well.
With that battery of apps, everything becomes pretty seamless. I have it set to always use Google Voice. This way, I don't have any additional prompts when using the native dialer, and the other party sees my GV#. When I go home, Y5 turns wifi on, AutoAir sees wifi and enables airplane mode, and Plane Mode Tweaker prevents wifi from being taken down again. The native dialer will automatically trigger Sipdroid, and again the recipient sees my GV#. Leave home and lose wifi and airplane mode is disabled, then wifi gets disabled. Seamless. Only problem is calls won't handoff between sipdroid and cell obviously.
I'm kind of assuming the apps may be calling the same functions/methods/whathaveyou and it may not work either.
Every time I use the Airplane mode on my G900F it will not automatically switch to Wifi mode when is turn off the airplane mode.
I have selected the trusted wifi locations. Any suggestions?.
this has been very vexing mainly because I don't know how to craft the google-fu to get beyond "no wifi in air plane mode".
Basically, when you turn on airplane mode it disables wifi. You can then enable it an all is good. However, for me it appears that when you disconnect from a wifi network in airplane mode the wifi network can no longer be connected. Once you turn airplane mode the wifi network comes back up but if you enable it the wifi network is gone. Other wifi networks are still there in both modes but just not the one you forgot.
Using wifi analyzer the wifi network is still being detected by the phone but the phone won't connect.
Any thoughts on how to solve this one?
For future readers it appears that if you run into this issue you can turn off airplane mode connect and then turn airplane mode on again and it will work. Sometimes. This is my solution until I can figure out what the heck is actually happening.
I''m on a G5 Plus Unlocked, build NPNS25.137-35-5.
When I restart the phone, Bluetooth and cellular data don't seem to automatically start. The phone has developer options on but no root.
Data Saver is on.
How can I get these to enable automatically?
Have you tried it with Data Saver turned off, in Safe Mode, or after a Network Settings Reset?
Can someone help me with this problem? Everytime I toggled Airplane Mode or even when it's toggled already it won't work at all especially the WiFi connection..
