Re: [Request] Airplane/Offline mode button

But, the official flight mode also only stops cellular connections, or am I mistaken?
I though the manual says one can still use wlan...

Well, the name implies the device's native 'flightmode', so if i were you, I'd change the name so there's no confusion.

I have found that it shuts off wlan too, as when a Feed refresh is starting, it asks to turn wlan back on.

Re: [Request] Airplane/Offline mode button

my n900 has been broken a while, but i could have sworn that was built in.

then again, i have been taking a regular dose of crazy pills, but is this what you were looking for?

it's way more accessible via the power button menu than any other method imo.

Re: [Request] Airplane/Offline mode button

I figured out that flightmode will stop cellular, wifi and bluetooth radios, but wifi and bluetooth can be turned on again. Oh, nfc probably as well.
But for all means and purposes, whenever it's desired to go to flight mode, turning off cellular should be ok, no?

Re: [Request] Airplane/Offline mode button

When I saw the deb in post #2 I all most jumped up. Sadly it was a wrong hope :(

Many people including me wish to have a way to switch to offline mode (airplane mode) easier. Sadly Nokia does not provide a way for this. Requests in the bug report system got pushed down with WONTFIX :(
This is one of the reasons that I did not continue to port SleepAnalyser to Harmattan. Another reason is the issue that I couldn't figure out how to set an alarm like the clock app does. Also, nobody was able to help yet :(

As long as Nokia does not provide an API for those functions, many great tools will not be able to run :(

Re: [Request] Airplane/Offline mode button

But what's wrong with just turning off cellular, wifi and bt?
Especially if it will be scripted / done in background, and undone in background...

Good call. Let's hope this gets fixed.
