dissable phone signal + enable wifi possible?

Hi I was hoping someone could help me with this. The only way I can see to disable the phone signal is to turn on airplane mode, however this will obviously prevent me from then enabling wifi. Is there a way to run the handset with just wifi enabled?
erm, kinda! you can use a settings widget included in the touchflo UI to disable mobile data, but not turn the whole phone off apart from airplane mode that i know of.

Thanks I spotted that but it was the whole phone part I wanted to turn off. How I miss the old HTC comm manager!

haha very good.
I wanted to do something similar. That is, have all wireless turned off except for GPS (in order to preserve battery life). I put the hero in airplane mode and then turned on the GPS. Nice to know that works! Not sure why you cant use the same procedure for Wifi (but I can't either).

Will not help... you can still make emergency calls without the SIM... it won't turn off the GSM/3g radio.
does anyone know of a widget that will just toggle the phone on/off like the HTC Widgets for bluetooth, wifi etc. ?
Just found an application in the market called "Airplane Autoswitch" which apparently switches on airplane mode according to a schedule, but keeps WiFi switched on. Assuming it works, this definitely implies that you should be able to write a toggle widget to do the same thing on demand.

Dave
An app as just been released called "airplane mode wifi" which seems to do what you are asking.

[Q] Tasker Problem

Anyone know what the hell is wrong with my Tasker? After every action it immediately undoes what it was set up to do. For example if it's supposed to turn on data, it will for like 5 seconds then immediately turn it off. Same with GPS, WiFi, Location Access, etc. This is for all profiles. I've tried disabling and enabling every profile thinking maybe one is the cause of it with no luck. I also removed exit tasks for particular ones and didn't find anything. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Tasker with no luck. I've attached the profile backups to this post if anyone wants to take a look.
Note: I am using Tasker along with the Secure Settings plugin (only GPS and location toggles are enabled). I'm also on 4.3 using Tasker 4.1u3.

It was working before. All of the sudden this started happening. It also starts running the profiles, just immediately turns off whatever was turned on.

Thanks, but I've already tried both these things with no luck. I think it may have to do with the profiles themselves? If anyone could take a look I would appreciate it.

No Nothing...I also have disabled WiFi optimization....then also nothing
for the second question I think u'r problem is wifi or mobile data is disconnecting after u lock the screen..If u using wifi then go to settings and in settings u will see keep wifi on during sleep and tick always.
Check for any battery saver app you are using which is turning off your wifi on screen lock

Check my app Toggle Data 5.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-toggle-data-5-0-widget-to-toggle-t2937936
It includes a Locale/Tasker compatible plugin which you can use with suitable Tasker profiles.

Thank you for the recommendation.
I have installed your app, but seems to keeps asking root access too much.
Is this a known issue?
Tnx

Maps turning on GPS?

Hi
I am on MIUI Stable. I don't think the problem i am referring is related to MIUI but here is my problem. Google Maps randomly turns on the GPS for a few seconds and god knows what it is doing(i am assuming it is recording my location). I have already disabled Location History. How do i stop it? Need some help.
Thanks
Check additional settings/privacy/location/scanning

I have turned off both settings and it still randomly turns on gps.
Now I have turned off 'Improve Location Accuracy' under Settings>Google>Location>Google Location Accuracy. Will report if the issue is solved.

I had a similiar GPS issue with another app. I fixed the issue by setting "no restrictions" under Settings -> Battery & Performance -> Choose apps (Energy saving) -> Google Maps/Any other app.
Turning off Location History works. But if you are using Google Rewards, you may not get surveys.
I noticed this too only yesterday.
I have turned off location history months ago.
Was not using maps, haven't opened the app in weeks.
I don't want it tracking my location.
I've disabled location access to it under app settings... I'll only enable it when I need to use the app.
