How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

Is there a way to turn off WLAN, just like you'd turn off bluetooth?

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

Yes, offline mode... or you can disconnect from WLAN and tell the phone not to reconnect without asking.

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

You can access the WLAN options from the status bar:

thx guys but i don;t think i was clear... how can i just turn off WLAN but keep BT, and phone (data & voice) on?

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

That's what I told you. Disconnecting WLAN and setting the options up so that it doesn't reconnect when it finds WLAN will keep it offline and keep BT and phone working.

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

does not connect is not the same as "off". The radio is still on but just not using the connection. it's still listening (sucking power).

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

It's not listening if you don't have it set to automatically search for available Access Points.

WLAN is still on and available WLAN networks are displayed when Always ask is selected in Internet Connections -> Connect automatically

So is there option to turn WLAN off?

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

so the wlan is turned on to show all available wlans and turned off after that automatically.

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

but it seems that you can't turn off the HW part of Wlan as the BT .. i think it's the question

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

of course you can but it most probably leads to the situation where watchdog reboots your phone. I'm not sure so lets wait for some expert to answer this.

I was unable to remove wlan module with rmmod, so it isn't a solution.

what to do if someone really wants the wlan to be turned totally off?

yes, it's not good to let wifi online , because it can use more power

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

wifi isn't online unless you use wifi connection or keep connection selection screen open 24/7...

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

Wrong... the AP here at work sucks at implementing powersave mode, so it drains my battery in half a day. So I want to disable WIFI while I'm at my desk.

When I disconnect it reconnects again automatically. I want it to reconnect on other WLAN, not the one at work.

I think the request to be able to disable WIFI is a valid one. The Cellular modem button controls could maybe be extended to include pure phone mode...

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

I havent tested it out yet but there's an app in Extras Testing called Wif-fi Switcher.
it turns off the WLAN radio....

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

Works for me. Better Battery life and it wont search for wifi until you deactivate it.

Re: How to turn off "WLAN"...
 

sorry, but does this option disable wifi radio?
