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.

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).
i have it set to turn off when screen off. i still get my google voice texts though and such.
this may be why it ends up freezing in standby when i leave it overnight...
same here.I use tablet text and wonder if it prevents wifi from sleeping.I've been using airplane mode due to this
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!

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?
