It takes about 1 minute or more to activate airplane mode.In settings it shows "turning on" below the airplane mode option and in quick launch toggles the airplane mode indicator keeps blinking violently before turning on permanently.Is it just with me?What are the possible causes and how to tackle this issue?

This probably isn't an issue. It doesn't take a minute for me, about 15-20 seconds. And that is not fine, because when you enter the airplane mode, the phone turns off all it's networks and wireless radios, which may take that amount of time required. The "violent blinking" just shows that the phone is working on the requested detail, which in this case is turning on the airplane mode.
This is just me guessing, others please pitch in if you have a different opinion, and enlighten me too if I'm wrong.

Just started using Polaris this week, but finding a problem with Airplane Mode...
When I go to bed at night Airplane mode goes on. Some nights Backup kicks in and restarts the phone afterwards. On Artemis, no problem, phone comes back up in Airplane mode. On Polaris, the phone always comes on with Phone on, so the next text message/email wakes me up!
Any idea how to make it stop turning the phone on when the unit restarts? I need my sleep!
Not a solution but why not put it on Silent? That's what I do and so far I've been sleeping like a baby.
Or you could try switching Phone off in the com manager instead of switching Airplane mode on.
Thanks, can't put it on silent as then my alarm won't wake me up...
Will try the Phone setting, see if that works...
Yes, that works, but it's a PITA beacuse I can use Long End Key Press to toggle Airplane mode, but need to use Comm Manager to turn Phone on and Off.
Found it:
HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\UseMSFlightMode
Defaults to 1, in which case Phone always comes back on after reset, set to 0, state before reset is respected.
Y don't you put a pin code on your sim card?
first you'll have a good protection if you lose your phone (no surprise call oversees...)
and if the polaris restarts the it wound connect to the gsm/umts without you entering the pin...
Hope it helps..
Thanks, but I'm too lazy to put a PIN in every time I restart...
In any case, the regedit above fixed the problem perfectly.
I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing problems where there power/sleep button doesnt bring the phone out of sleep mode and the phone just remains black. Let me know.

I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....
Something new - under Wifi Settings/Advanced - I have Wi-Fi set to sleep when display is off..
This doesn't seem to be the case. My WiFi is Always on.
I would imagine that the icon would disappear like it does when WiFi is turned off.. but when the phone is asleep and then wakes up, the WiFi connection is still there.
Anything I can try to fix this? I have tried changing the WiFi sleep policy to the other 2, then changing it back to display power - didn't work.
I did have to reboot the phone last night because I couldn't get WiFi to turn off, but I don't have a problem today with turning it on or off.. just won't go to "sleep"
It may be turning off and you just don't notice it. Cause I know that as soon as I turn on the display again its maybe half a second and then the wifi is back on. So you may be missing the switch.
I also notice that I have to leave the display off for a good two or three mins for it to turn off.

Is there a way to find out how long you are connected to an Access Point?
I am noticing a big difference in battery drain when WiFi is turned completely off, then when it is in the "Sleep" mode.
I'm using my tablet as a car navigation device. I may leave my car parked for up to a week sometimes.
Ideally, I'd like to turn the device off when I stop my car (cable unplugged or screen off) and then turn the device on when I start my car (cable plug in, screen on). Since it takes a while to boot up (and I don't know how to autoboot when the cable is plugged in on a LG g pad 8.0), I don't want to actually turn off the tablet.
Therefore, I have installed "Automate" to enable airplane mode when screen is off and turn off airplane mode when screen is on. I also have Greenify and enabled Aggressive Doze. However, even doing this, I notice that while the screen is off, the phone will still come out of doze periodically. Also eventhough airplane mode is on, Gsam Battery stats show the phone radio is on the entire time (but not data).
Is there a way to force it to doze and not wake up until I tell it to?
Also, for some reason, as it keeps going into airplane mode and back out, I will get a message saying the sim card has been removed and it will force me to reboot. If I don't go into airplane mode at all, I dont get the message. It's only from switching it on and off.
I use automatic night mode and automatic phone shutdown + startup. I've noticed when the phone starts up the yellow tint from night mode is still enabled, but the toggle from settings says it should be disabled. To restore the screen I have to toggle night mode on, then off.
Has anyone else noticed this bug?
Never happened to me
