I am trying to find an app that will allow me to plug in a flight number and it'll give me the flight details and info about if it is going to be late or something like that.
is there one for the ppc?

Ok, i have this problem
The office where I work has no signal (I accept this) but after work the signal never re-appears and no-one can contact me. They only way of resolving this is to put the phone into airplane mode and back out. signal re-appears straight away.
I emailed HTC with this issue and they replied with the following:
this is a battery saving feature. when entering a no signal area, the phone will ramp up the power it uses to try and find a signal. After a while, it will stop searching for the network automatcially and wait for you to search manually. If it did not do this, the battery would be dead within a couple of hours. there is no way round this. If you know that there is no signal at work, then i would recommend to turn the phone off, or at least put it in airplane mode.
So here's what I need. A program that will every 1/2 hour or hour switch off my phone signal and back on again BUT ONLY IF THE PHONE HAS STOPPED LOOKING FOR A SIGNAL.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction??
I love this phone but it is getting annoying
Thanks
Phil
Try to look for a task/ event manager.
add new event: 08:00 turn on airplane mode
add 2nd event: 17:00 turn off airplane mode
I havent found such a program yet .. tho MickeySoft uses it in Winodws XP or higher and on Server installs .. would be logical that they have such feature on WinMo
I just would stick to manualy change the connection since its a standard feature of the phone and its only working that way at your current work location.
Google:-
wm6 scheduled task
It gives you some options that might hep you.
I've been searching both around the forums and through the settings on my phone, and can't seem to find anything. Is there a way to disable incoming calls (like airplane mode), but still allow wifi access?
Sorry put this in the wrong forum before, had too many tabs open in my browser. Pls delete the other thread
Edit...Just notice my browser didn't accept my title. Apparently I'm having "one of those days"...Sigh...
take out ur sim card lol
Lol I guess that's one way. There must be a software option, whether or not it's a system setting, some sort of toggle switch widget, or an app
Found a solution, wasn't aware this would work.
Apparently Airplane mode will allow you to connect via wifi. You just need to turn the wifi back on after enabling Airplane mode.
I was under the impression ALL connections were disabled while Airplane mode was on. Learn something new everything....Solved, so pls close thread
This is no way a request and for some reason i cant even figure out if it would be smart, but nonetheless...
would it be possible for a kernel to include the ability to automatically swith my phone to airplane mode when i went into an area that i get no service in and then like every "x" amount of mins, the kernel would force the phone out of airplane mode, check for service and, if none was found go back to airplane mode, and if service was found, leave the radio on. then if i was to leave a non-service area and enter a service area, instead of having to wait that "x" amount of mins to get service again, whenever i wake my phone, it instantly re-scans for services. so screen on would be the "highest priority".
quick question-would constantly going in and out of airplane mode actually use more battery than the phone would be potentially saving.
I think you could write a script in an application called Tasker that could do that. I have tasker set so that when I flip my phone end over end toward me it goes to full brightness, away from me to 20% brightness. It's a pretty powerful little app, I'd check it out.
One problem...if it goes into airplane mode...how can it detect if it is with no signal...you would have no signal to reference. You cannot leave radio on...that defeats airplane mode.

that's not what he said. he said every so often force it out or airplane mode and search for a signal and if no is found go back into airplane mode

Re-read it, yep..my Bad.
I am using hyperdrive ROM and would like to know if there is any way to disable the confirmation prompt when enabling flight mode. I am trying to use phone schedule to save some more battery life when I don't have phone signal for a period of time.
Thanks.
As someone who is in NYC and uses airplane mode whenever I go on the train, the airplane mode confirmation drives me crazy.
Dang! I haven't had a need for it yet (just 2 weeks in) but just tried it and it is pretty irritating. Hopefully someone can develop a mod to banish it forever.
I was going to try and post in devoper section, but I can't yet. I have an issue with battery usage, where I work, inside at least, the cell service is bad. I was wondering if anyone has heard of or can even make an app that would automate the airplane mode, while maintaining wifi.
I was thinking if there was no service for more than a certain time, it automatically enable airplane mode and re-enable the wifi, until it is manually turned off, maybe by a widget. If anyone has any knowledge of this, please give me an idea, I'm using 60% of my battery just searching for service.
I am rooted running hyperdrive rls14.
Airplane mode automatically disables all wireless services. Why don't you just disable mobile data when you get to work? You'll still be able to receive text messages.
Also, for future reference, the developer's section isn't for questions, but a place for developers to share their work. This thread should really be in Q&A.

I have a similar issue with where I work. However, I just turn on airplane mode and then turn on wifi. You can have wifi on while being in airplane mode. It is just two or three button presses, so I don't think it is that big of an issue. When you leave your job, just turn airplane mode off...
Phoneweaver
That's your answer. Set up a profile to turn on airplane mode and wifi at whatever time you want. Set up other profiles as you like. It will launch apps, toggle GPS (if you have secholeutils), mobile data on/off, volume levels, change ring tones, notification tones... pretty much anything you want.
You can always use NFC to trigger it too. I have a NFC tag on my desk at work the puts my phone into "work mode"
