[Q] App to temporarily disable radio - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Im looking for an app to temporarily disable all cellular functions of the phone. For example, when Im with my girlfriend, I want to play youtube streamed music via wifi but dont like to be disturbed with work calls. Of course, airplane mode is not for me ...
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Just put aeroplane mode on and then turn WiFi on. You'll be able to use it without radio functions.

How can I remove all the phone functions?

I want to turn my x10 into a wifi mp3 player. There is no sim card inserted. I don't want bars to show. Basically how an ipod would be to an iphone.

You can do this by some cosmetic and some functional changes.
For example:
You can edit the framework-res.apk and replace all the images related to radio signal bars and G/3G/H symbol with a transparent 48x48 icons.
That way you won't see anything related to network.
Then, you can turn airplane mode off, that should do it.
Also, freezing the Phone.apk with Titanium backup should block everything making X10 a phone.
That's alot of work... Is there a more simple way?

Seriously...?
If you want the icons removed you need to edit the framework,
since it was designed to display those icons, because this is a PHONE.
And by freezing the phone process you ensure that the phone will no longer function as one.
If it's too much trouble, just turn on the airplane mode already and start playing music!
Jeez!
How would I edit the frame work?

The GSM radio still sips away juice in the background.

Firing it into a star, doesnt even have to be our sun

Why did you buy a phone?????? had buy a ipod instead!!! no pain at all!!!
The simplest way is actually to turn om plane mode and ignore the icons..

Not since 2.1, but there's also a free app in the Market called "Airplane WiFi" that will make it stick.

[Q] Google Music App Stops Working

Problem: Google Music closes after about 2 minutes of putting the phone into sleep mode or clicking the button to turn off the screen. I cannot figure out how to allow the app to continue to run while in sleep mode.
The phone is not rooted and I am running stock everything. I also do not have a microSD card would that matter?
Please advise.
Does anyone know if google music has to use a microSD card?

Did you accidentally add the application to the auto-end in the Task Manager app? I had a heck of a week traveling until I found my goof-up in doing this.
Nope I removed it and tested it again still didn't work. Could it be because of the moto.blur stuff?

I hate saying this, but "It works for me" applies here. I know I have some bad files uploaded to GM, which causes the program to crash from time to time.
Hmm do mine sharing exactly what you did? Maybe I can figure it out from there?

Kills connection and mobile data

This already happened two or three times.
When I am at home using my wifi connection everything is fine.
As soon as im loosing the wifi connection when going outside, my Ace just kinda goes into airplane mode, the mobile data gets killed (still enabled in settings) and i cannot recieve or make calls/sms.
I have to reboot and then everything is fine again. Its not toooooo bad...but still annoying.
Has anyone else had that problem? You can see my phone details in the signature. But this also happened once when I was on stock rom.
Thanks in advance.

In advanced wifi settings... why would you want another app to control that when android system can do it?
Settings doesnt work and tasker neither...
I dont know why but its annoying...
If anybody can help me ^^
Edit: tasker says no active profil...
I create profil state display off with screen matchs off for wifi and data and its enabled but doesnt work...

Works fine for me here.
Create a new profile-Events-Display-Display On.
Add Task-Net-WiFi-On.
Similar for Display Off.
That's all I did.

Hmm.. This might cause problems but you can try disabling Bluetooth by going to Application Manager, under "All" goto Bluetooth Share and give Force Stop this will terminate the program, and there is also disable option but I am not sure whether we can use it. If you have root you can backup it and try uninstalling it using applications like Titanium Backup.
And forgive me but which device is this PAP5000DUO?
