No Wifi whilst in flight mode? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi, I'm running a rooted stock Oreo (version 8.0.0) and I've just discovered that when I turn flight mode on, if I then turn wifi on, I get the pop-up message "In flight mode" and the wifi icon in Quick Settings stays a light blue shade but Wifi doesn't actually turn on.
I may be mistaken but I thought this was working last year and I haven't done any updates to the phone.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Kind regards,
Mack.

Hi, I'm pretty sure you can use this:
SystemUI Tuner - Apps on Google Play
PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE INSTALLING
play.google.com
One of the settings allows you to tune Airplane Mode.

Just to update - I think there must have been some kind of data corruption... I did a factory reset and it all worked correctly again.

Mobile network stopped working MoDaCo 1.1

So, my brother and I have been running MoDaCo 1.1 core for a couple days now.
My phone has stopped connecting to the mobile network. All it says when I try to connect is "Standby for connecting to mobile network" with a green checkbox. I also notice now when I select the checkbox to connect it turns green instantly and shows that standby message. Before it would take a couple seconds to connect and turn green.
I have tried changing the mode of operation and it still doesn't want to connect. There is no 1x or EVDO in the notification bar. Wifi and GPS still work fine.
My brother's phone is still working fine. I have no idea what the problem can be.
Anybody else having this problem with MoDaCo 1.1?
I think that it has something to do with airplane mode. I enabled airplane mode yesterday, then turned it off. I didn't realize my data wasn't working after that since I don't use it while I'm at home. I am not sure if that is exactly the problem, just trying to think about how it could have stopped working.
I've noticed mine will do this at random on the MoDaCo 1.1 ROM. Every now and then I'll look at my phone and realize my EV symbol at the top is gone and I have no network connection. When this happens both the option in Settings and the small on/off widget on one of my home screens say it's still turned on. If I turn it off and back on, then I just get the "Standby for connecting to mobile network" message too. The only way I've found to get it to work again is to reboot the phone.
FYI this same problem happens to me with the stock ROM, even when it wasn't rooted. I've noticed it only happens when you turn airplane mode on, and then off.
Hmmm...I never touch airplane mode and I never saw this happen once in the month that I had the phone with the stock ROM. Maybe my problem is unrelated then.
Even when I reboot my phone it still doesn't work. I have tried messing around with the widgets turning things on and off multiple times and still nothing can get it working again.
I just went back to an old nandroid backup from before I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone and it seems to be working again. I'm going to put 1.1 on again. I'll use it for a while and try to recreate the problem to figure out exactly what it is.
Sprint/HTC has to fix that. it's a bug.

Screen on with no reason and battery drains...

i have read an old thread with a similar, not solved, problem, but i didn't wanted to write in a so old thread...
so...
when the wifi radio is on, my iconia a500 suddendly turns on the screen and it stays on also for various minutes, sometimes i guess also until the battery is completely finished (i have found more than once the tablet off because of battery drained in the morning, so i guess it was with screen on all night long)
this happens also if i set wifi to go off when display is off.
i have tried many different roms (taboonay, lightspeed ... and now i have thor rom 14.2, installed yesterday) but the problem is always here.
if i manually turn off wifi, this seems to never happen... or at least it never happened while i was watching the tablet during the last months
does anybody knows a solution, a hint... or anything that could be helpful to make this issue less annoying?
thanks!

You might have a program installed that is constantly calling for wifi access?
That's the only thing I can think of?
On my Rom, I haven't ever experienced that problem.
My settings are as follows:
Airplane mode on
Wifi On
Wifi disconnect policy: when screen turns off.
also when i just turn it on it happens, even with no services or program needing wifi...
but you gave a me a good idea to try...
i will put airplane mode on and check what happens now
and anyway, i'll check again my programs

hm for me it sometimes happen but it's like once it two or three days so it's hard to track it down ;/
For me it is quite common....
To check it i keep it next to the tv while i watch it, or next to the computer
Dal mio Iconia A500
Can someone please clarify what I am missing in these settings:

If airplane mode is turned on doesn't that over ride the wifi on setting?
So if airplane mode is on wifi will always be off so the disconnect setting has no bearing.
Can someone please confirm above or explain..
thanks
no, you can put airplane mode and then turn on wifi
and seems like it is working well... but i don't want to talk too early...
Airplane mode is for tablet/phones with data connections. Airplane mode just turns that off

Yes, but for some strange reason it helps with the wake up problem some have
That's what I was getting at - when airplane mode is turned on it overrides all other settings and wifi can not be engaged in any way until it (airplane mode)is turned off.
Yup I was just answering Spud
Airplane mode only refers to the 3g/4g cell radio (so it turns off wireless network data/phone calls/texts etc.). You can still turn on wifi and use it when airplane mode is on because this is a different radio (well in the a500 there is no 3g radio). After all many airplanes now have wifi on board, however you're still supposed to have it airplane mode.
Thanks.
I haven't been able to turn in wifi with airplane mode on - it takes a longer push (hold) on the wifi button to engage.
I now have wifi on with airplane mode on - didn't realize airplane didn't also disable wifi.

Incorrect! You turn Airplane Mode on, which turns off wifi, then turn on wifi with Airplane Mode still turned on (and airplane mode stays on with wifi turned on as well).
after some days trying i have noticed that putting in airplane mode solves the problem...
but not always the tablet turns off wifi and stay in airplane mode when i turn off the display, it is surely some annoying app (or widget) that makes this happen.
i'm trying to understand which one

The only way to do that is process of elimination. Knocking out the variables one by one until you find the culprit, which has the potential to be a long, painstaking process. Start by uninstalling, one by one your apps that require internet access, and wait a couple days In between each one to see how your tab reacts.Then again, it may be an app that you wouldn't think needs wifi access to work, but in the background is calling for access.
Good luck with it!

Well there you have it.
All stock based ROMs allow it to be done.

LG D802 on ICS boot looping since last night if auto SYNC is enabled

I have been happily using my phone on stock 4.4.2 EUR for last 8 months. This morning I woke up to find my phone constantly rebooting as soon as I enter the SIM pin and it lock on to a cellular signal. After a lot of trial and error, I have found that if I immediately switch to airplane mode before entering SIM pin and then switch off auto-sync the phone, and then turn my mobile signal and data back on (by turning off airplane mode) the phone is fine.
As soon as I turn on auto-sync it goes into loop mode again. For the time being I am keeping sync off, but has anyone else experienced this suddenly?
Makes me think it is connected with some automatic update that Google sent to my phone overnight for their Play services or such.
yes, I have the same problem. Please see my post about it.
Now I wonder how to fix it
Thanks
Sorry for late reply but found out that if you clear the data for
Google Services Framework and
Google App
this resolves the issue. These are located under Settings / General / Apps / All

Challenge: how to trick Android 6.0+ time & date?

Hi Guys,
I have a very specific challenge for the ones who know more than me.
Problem statement:
- I'm a diabetic and wear a certain glucose sensor which can se scanned via NFC with the mobile phone to measure blood glucose. It can be scanned either via manufacurer's app, or other 3rd party apps (like Glimp)
- problem is that this sensor is "set" to only last 14 days, on the dot!
- I've figured out that this "duration" is highly dependant on the time/date of the Android device/time of sensor activation: if I set the time back a few days it will show more time left of the sensor but the app has a built-in feature which does not allow me to scan the sensor if the Android's "Automatic time/date detection" feature is turned OFF, hence the predicament
The Challenge is to trick the app to think the app into thinking the "Automatic time/date detection" is turned ON, while being able to alter the device's time (into the past) so it would allow more run time days out of the sensor (which is quite expensive to replace and otherwise seems to be able to work just fine for a longer period).
Would this be possible? It would sure help me a lot!
try the next:
-turn off time/date auto update
-set up date what you want
-enter airplane mod... make sure wifi turned off too
-turn on time/date auto update
hit thanks if it working
Hi,
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, the time sets back to current time once I re-enable Automatic time/date.
Wifi/4G OFF + Plane mode ON.
@yussuf007 - you da' man!
With a little bit more tinkering I managed to fool the thing. Procedure is the following:
- enter airplane mode ... no need to turn off wifi/4G, they will be off once airplane is enabled
-turn off time/date auto update
- set up date what you want
- RESTART PHONE
- turn back ON time/date auto update
- turn back ON NFC
- Scan sensor. The thing now thinks it's back in time and works fine.
Thanks again!

Bluetooth won't turn on after in Airplane mode

Not sure if any one else sees this issue but whenever I turn on Airplane mode and turn it off after a while, the bluetooth doesn't turn back on until reboot, I have tried to turn it back on either via the Bluetooth toggle or enable Bluetooth in Settings. When I tried to turn it on the switch would be shown as on but there is no connected device and I could not refresh the device list (the option is greyed out), and if I leave that Bluetooth screen and go back in again, the status is shown as of again. The only way to fix that is via reboot. Wifi and LTE signals are all OK though.
Does anyone else have this problem? I have a script to turn on airplane mode whenever I get no cellphone signal to save battery, but now I have to disable this to keep my Bluetooth connection on so that I can use the wristband.

Move to Oreo Beta2 .. that problem is definitely gone. I see some random reboots, but other than that the Beta2 update has been a solid improvement.
