i want to preface that i've tried playing around with locale and tasker but no avail.
im trying to figure out an app (or combo of apps) to do the following:
when theres no cellular reception, to automatically turn on wifi and turn on "recieving incoming calls" in the SIP fxnality.
does anyone know of any ways i can make this possible?

I got internet calling working on my WM61 but after some inactivity time 3G connection is dropped and the phone stops refreshing the SIP registration, so I start missing calls.
Is there a way to make sure the phone re registers periodically with the SIP server and also keeps the connection active even if the phone is idle????
If i'm not mistaken there's a "disconnect when idle" option in Schap's Advanced Config.. try disabling this option.
Do you refer to the ¨GPRS disconnect¨ option??
Also, same question I asked originally applies to wifi connection. When I loose wifi signal internet calling is unavailable (of course), although once I get wifi connection again in another place Internet Calling does not become available. What I´m doing now to re-enable it is dissabling Internet Calling and re enabling it. I wonder if this could be done automatically.
I was wondering if anyone has this problem in the US or in JAPAN.
I'm using a Docomo TP. I have to maintain 3G up to receive mail via mopera push.
Problem is whenever I goto sync my phone, use bluetooth, or WiFi, i have to turn off my data connection and switch to blue tooth before it can turn on. Of course, if i do that i can't surf the net, do mail ect. ect. Also, to sync is almost the same except i have to change it to flight mode. If I don't, it constantly resets the Active sync connection.
Now, in theory this should be the same for everyone. Its like it doesn't know to send all data services through 3G or gets confused on which to use. So, if you're on any 3G network, you shouldn't be able to use bluetooth or WiFi.
I'm sure its probably a setting somewhere.. but i'm kinda stumped. So is HTC of course, called them triyng to get a answer.
If anyone reads this that's in Japan, send me a PM, i'd just like to chat about it.
Does anyone know how to turn off only the phone part of the device, leaving the Wi-Fi / LTE modem / Bluetooth operational?
Reason is that I am using a Google voice number with Groove IP (which is brilliant) I do not want the phone at all....
Thanks...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
toggle the data option off in the dropdown menu to get rid of data, however calls and txts will still go through... you can then turn off 'packet data' in wireless and network settings then also put it in airplane mode in there as well, after your phone should be completely dead on the verizon signal side
Thanks! It never occurred to me that airplane mode would leave wi-fi and BT in operation. I am very surprised indeed!
I know for some the title is a little contradicting, but here is what I am looking for:
I would like to turn off calls and sms, and enable only mobile data (3g). Airplane mode is not good for this as it turns off mobile data. I have done this on an old windows mobile phone I used to have (motorola q) but I haven't found much info on android for this. I know some people have also asked the same question but no answer (forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/61387-how-turn-off-cell-phone-radio.html).
I have an Samsung exhibit 2, it's on gingerbread.
I am wondering if it isn't as simple as to replace the normal phone apks with the ones from a tablet (since tablets cannot make voice calls or sms) was anyone tried this? Maybe can point me to a place to try? I think the apks to replace would be the 2 being discussed here:
android.stackexchange.com/questions/7133/how-do-i-turn-off-the-cellular-radio-without-disabling-bluetooth
Thank you.
Tablets can make voice calls AFAIK. Although one looks very stupid holding a large pad onto the ear. Normally, it goes to Loudspeaker by default.
Anyways, what you are looking for might not be in Android. From the look of it, this is a driver feature. So if the drivers of the phone's radio does not support this feature it might not be possible.
Anyways, is it possible to do this in real GSM radios? Isn't GPRS in the same band as in Voice calls? I'm not sure about HSPA.
Why would you want to do that?
Do you just want to disable texting and calls? (You could just ignore them?), or you could just use Wifi.
In older phones (like 2g and basic cell phones), they did not have mobile data, so all they had was the cellular radio. In newer phones though, the cellular radio and 3g/4g is the same piece of hardware, so it is not possible, as far as I am aware, to disable one or the other selectively. Sorry
If you're own a sprint phone and try to download a phone call can break the connection. I am also looking for a way to temp disable the cell radio while downloading.
"Juice" might do it. I know some of the battery saver apps will allow this customization where you can have data only, radio off, radio on data off...etc
So, whenever I made a call on my N5, the Wifi gets turned off and it switches into 3G/HSPA+ mode (no LTE). When I end the call, it will connect to LTE and then enable Wireless again and connect like normal. This is on T-Mobile if that means anything.
Is this suppose to happen? Is there a way to prevent it from disabling Wifi during a call?
EDIT: The issue was with Tasker, since I use Cell Towers to tigger Wifi, and I guess calls uses different towers.
Anything? Even when receiving a call, before the call actually "comes through" the Wifi will be turned off; THEN the call comes through.
I just tried calling my ATT phone in a good LTE area with good WIFI. It did not drop wifi. I'm stock non-rooted 4.4.2.
There is a setting in the wifi page which prevents the phone from connecting to poor wifi. Is it possible that you're in a borderline poor wifi area and when a call is received your wifi drops just below that threshold and phone then falls back on 3G/LTE ? I noticed my phone at home when I go far from my AP I get 1 bar on the wifi but the phone says it is connected. But then wehn I try to access a web page, the phone would drop wifi and connect to 3G. I don't have LTE at home so I can't say if it would've connected to LTE straight away after wifi drop off
