I got a new Samsung Galaxy Tab from Verizon, and I will be out of the United States for a very long time, I am going to Mexico, so I don't think I will have signal over there and my galaxy tab will keep searching for a mobile signal, and that means that my battery will finish really fast, because it will keep searching and searching and searching. I was wondering how I would be able to disable the search of the signal so I don't run out of battery really fast.
Thanks in advance!
Hold the power button down which brings up a menu to deactivate "data network mode"
Already did, and it stills keep searching for a mobile signal :S
try
settings
Wireless and network
mobile networks
uncheck all
Switch on airplane mode. then enable wireless networking. no signal hunt.
there is also a radio disable mode from phone pad *#*#4636#*#* I think. then turn off radio. same result as airplane mode with wireless switched on so first one easier.
hope that helps.
Here is a Summary of what I've been doing to try to disable the mobile signal, but not success, also here are some pictures of what is happening so you can understand me better. Here are the pics and captions: iamunicorn.com/GalaxyTab
Thanks in advance!
read my earlier post - switch on airplane mode, then enable wireless networking!!!
or alternatively, try searching the forum - its been addressed before.

How is it not the best way if it's the only way to do it? Really, it's a toggle switch, get a widget. How can it be any easier? That's like saying the volume rocker isn't the best way of changing the system sound.

What I meant is that there should be a Disable button, like any other cellphone... but thanks anyways I will use it like that for now.
are you kidding?

Of course you will have signal. It is not like you are going to Venezuela or something......... however roaming charges will apply
U$800 for a UMTS galaxy tab? f**k no!

figured it out
The Tab is just a cellphone I think, so an dedicated button to "disable" the signal is not a really good thing for samsung design team.

you should look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947416
Anyone ever made one? Reason why I'm asking is sometimes g-sensor is not always needed, or preferred by the users and it can actually cause more problems than solutions!
I'd love to have one but can't find one anywhere and can't find a way to turn my G-Sensor off, sure it's able to be enabled.... But not disabled! WTF? LoL
Thanks for all suggestions and advice!
Hi, I have recently installed Lollipop via Kies, i always used to have my wifi timer setup to auto come on at certain times, in Lollipop i cannoy find the option now, unless its somewhere i havn't spotted yet?
Does anyone know if its still there anywhere?
There are apps but i tried these a long time ago and they didn't seem to bring the wifi on via just a timer alone and it was just automatic when it detected the signal, or by location which i didn't want as i felt this would consume more battery than needed when all i needed was it to come on via a timer only (not keep checking all the time for a signal)
Regards
James

It depends mostly on the rom and not the OS version.
Stock, CM and GPE all come with different sets of features.
CM12 is more customizable. Chances are that CM12 will have this feature. I don't use it so I can't tell for sure.
Hi, sorry if this has been posted before but I can't find an answer anywhere. I'm coming from an S7 Edge with the always on screen and just got this phone yesterday. Anyway to set this up on the Essential Phone? It's frustrating to have to move my phone to see notifications and the time. Does anyone know if the phone supports it and it can be enabled in a future update? Thanks.
Essential does not uses an amoled display like the S7, so there is no always on display and I am pretty sure it wont be a future feature
Makes sense, thanks.
