I had my DNA faced down before I fell asleep, and when I woke up just now, the phone was on airplane mode. I checked the battery usage chart and found out the phone went into airplane mode after 30 minutes of being idle. I had to manually turn off the airplane mode.
I never used HTC products before so I do not know if this is a feature of the Sense...but surely I don't want it as I receive international calls often. However, I could not find any options for turning this off.
Does anyone know if the scheduled airplane mode was automatically activated because I put the phone faced down? The other nights previously had no such thing done on my phone

That is an anomaly my friend. I've never seen this happen on any HTC phone I've owned.

Strange things happen at night/early morning. My wifi went AWOL.

The fact that network connection was in tact, it seems like wifi auto sleep but I can't be sure.
But as for my phone, it was on airplane mode automatically, so I will test my phone under the same conditions tonight to confirm my speculation
If the DNA does have a scheduled/sensor auto airplane mode feature or perhaps a deep idle, I am not sure of why HTC did not include an option to turn that off in the settings...

I would hope its not an auto-off on wifi because I have it set to always be on even with screen off. Also, if it turns off, it sets LTE to active and thats an issue.
It's HTC SmartSync Power Save http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708492. Unfornately this app doesn't work JB Sense... anyone with smali coding skills can try to code it for JB.
WiFi and 3G/LTE will disconnect from 12-7am to save battery life when screen off its a built in feature by HTC however it shoukdnt go into airplane mode

I tested my phone under the same conditions, and it did go into airplane mode exaclty after 30 minutes of facing down. So I guess that Smartsync is back on the DNA?...I found several scripts relating to powersaving in sys, so maybe disabling some of them will remove the auto airplane mode or whatever it does...

Smartsync isn't putting it in airplane mode.
I put my phone upside down smartsync hours and left it for hours. I can confirm loss of WiFi but no network signal.

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

do u by any chance know if theres an option add a toggle to a script in tasker to toggle airplane mode?
Re-read it, yep..my Bad.
I set my wifi sleep policy to sleep when display is off. However, when I look at activity monitor graph in the battery menu, I see that wifi is being shown as still on. I also notice when I turn on my phone I see the wifi indicator. I cant imagine its connecting that quickly!
So my question...is wifi really being turned off according to the sleep policy setting?
How long are you waiting after you turn the screen off to turn it back on to check? It definitely waits some time before shutting the wifi off.

Also if you have anything on your phone that wakes the wifi, or if you are checking multiple times each hour, every time it wakes it will go all the way through search for signal and make a connection and then set idle for a few minutes before it will go back to sleep.
For me I have found just leaving the wifi on all the time was a much lower battery drain than letting it sleep at all.

Sorry if posted before but searched on here on googled to no avail.
I'm running cm9 rc2 on my sg2, recently I've got a issue with my wifi. It seems to happen ever other day where at 02:06 the wifi turns on and stays on. Meaning if I've not plugged in to charge it drains the battery.
My phone always gets switched to airplane mode when I sleep and runs juice defender(which in its log states the time of 02:06 that wifi has been switched on by user), I'm also running tasker which checks to make sure other conditions are not running then will place into airplane mode and set cm9 profile to sleep.
Anyone had this issue? Or anyone got any idea a program that can log why wifi has come on by itself?
Thanks

I'm very sure an app or wrong profile settings is responsible for your problem,
This is the cause if the problem:
-the app needs internet around 2am,
-it discovers your phone is in flight mode
-it has a permission or settings to turn on Wi-Fi in the absence of mobile data.
-it then turns in your data.
Just try to track it down
-this app will sure cause a wakelock at that period,
-You can use better battery stats to track the app down
Good luck

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"
Hi guys,
I can't seem to find anywhere in this device to force cellular off. I don't want to enable aeroplane mode because I use wifi and GPS.
Also, is there a way to force the device to power down when it's at, say, 8% power? It seems like it powers down when it's totally drained, which causes the device to stop tracking time when it powers back up. I imagine if it could force power down earlier, it would still keep time when I get around to recharging it...
You can enable Airplane mode THEN activate Wifi and GPS ... it's what I'm doing on my truesmart to save battery

Thanks!
Any way to get the device to shut down based on battery %?
It doesn't matter how much battery is remaining when you turn the watch off. It doesn't keep track of the time when its off unless you have it automatically checking the mobile network for the time. Try it. Turn your watch off before the battery dies, wait 10 minutes, then turn it back on. The time will be the same as when you turned it off. Seems stupid but hopefully it will get fixed in a future update.
Use tasker to do it

Here's a free app that should do it. I tried it on my phone and it worked great.
