So we all know that there's Wifi Sharing capability on the s8.
I want to know if there's a way to bypass needing to be in Radio ON mode. The reason I say this is because, I want to use this on the plane. I want to be able to buy one internet access plan on the flight then be able to share the connection through Wifi Sharing. But the issue is that we cannot share wifi in Airplane mode?
I have the dual sim version on the phone. I figured keeping airplane mode off and going into the settings to turn off data in SIM1 and GPS would be ideally the same as airplane mode. Is this true? Or is there something we can tweak to use wifi sharing while in airplane mode?
Why do you feel that you need to have airplane mode turned on? Just enable wifi sharing and forgetaboutit.
I'd say because the phone gets crazy hot and if you're not tethered to a battery pack, you won't last an hour with the screen off.

With 802.11 being allowed on some flights, mainly through Connexion by Boeing it means that with flight mode we should still be able to turn wifi on and off. I believe that it is still a requirement to have the phone off.
Anyone got any ideas if this is at all possible ?

I had an idea how to save power.
How it works is that it would run in the background of the phone.
By default WiFi is turned off, however when an app requires some form of data connection, the WiFi app recognises this and turns on the WiFi.
If a WiFi network is near and you already have the password stored in the phone it connects to the network.
If a WiFi network is near and you dont have the password stored it prompts you with a popup. If you cancel the popup, WiFi gets turned off.
This way power can be saved so WiFi doesn't have to always be on and only gets turned on when needed.
Possible? What you think?
Juicedefender does this. It will cut off your WIFI if it's not around known networks. I think you have to buy ultimatejuice (it's worth it).
I'm talking, with airplane mode on. Your wireless/mobile networks off, wifi off...everything. Would just using GPS enable you to still use Maps and Navigation?
Guess not, I did some driving around and it seems to need the mobile network to work.
Not very useful if you leave the country unless you want to pay those outrageous roaming charges.
GPS will work by itself but you will either have to download the map info using wifi for google maps or buy a navigation app like navigon.
When you do airplane mode gps is turned off too. Just turn off mobile networks and wifi and check.
Hi all
Would it be possible, in any way, to be able to listen to fm radio in airplane mode?
Thanks in advance!!!
in airplane mode all wireless connectivity is blocked so that while u use ur phone in airplane, ur phones signals wont mess with radio signals of airplane and wont cause any prob.
only wifi connectivity will work in airplane mode, all other wireless things will be stopped, even bluetooth also.
Hello, every morning i leave my house (wifi disconnects) my data dont get internet.
I have cell phone signal, i can make a call but my internet is not connected (no IP adress obtained). My fix is just ON/oFF airplane mode. Anyone else with same problem?
I think problem might be in wifi i have asus RT-N12D1 because its ok with other places and wifi acces points.
i have hammerhead with stock 5.1.

well, you say it might be router related, then have you tried messing with its settings? change wifi ssid, security, channel, etc etc
also, you might want to try LMY47I (latest build) - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-lmy47i-factory-df127988.tgz
