Disable cellular only (not WiFi)
 

Hi,

a question to those who already have the N900...

Is it possible to just disable all celular connectivity (GSM, 3G), but keep the wifi active?

Reason behind this question is that I`m going to use the N900 as an alarm clock (like currently my N800) and don`t want to get awake because someone calls me. But as the device receives some files over night I can`t just disable all connectivity.

I prefer to not just disable the ringtones, but really diconnect from the cellular network.

Thanks for some information

I am pretty sure I read a review that said you could but I haven't found anyway to do it.

Hmm, I have the same "problem" and entering the "offline mode" puts me offline for good, meaning no GSM, no 3G, no Wifi, no skype.
Is there a way to configure the "offline mode" ?

Well you could takee out the sim :P but doing that too much can damage it ..

Have you looked in Settings > Phone to see if you can disable the radio?

I dont have a sim installed yet so i cant open phone in settings.

Also is there a option for it if you click in the battery monitor area at the top of the screen next to the clock ? that is where you can turn on/off the webcam, the wifi, and a few other things.

fine-grained control of individual radios are not supported at the moment.
Bug logged for this already so feel free to vote to be implemented.
