I want to make one phone not able to turn on airplane mode. what app do i need buy to do this? is there a setting i can use or script?? if airplane mode gets turned on i want to have it auto turn itself back on immediately.
thanks in advance
What is the purpose?
It only turns on if you toggle it.
Seems needlessly redundant.
Well your phone auto turn on airplane mode?

Sounds deliberate. Perhaps they aren't old and/or responsible enough to have the privilege of a phone.

Remove their smartphone privilege, give them dumb phones. Gotta make them respect you as a parent

You're not likely to outsmart them when it comes to this sort of thing. If you can do it on their phone, they'll find a way to undo it.

Just give them your old Nokia 3310.
Or you can buy some crap phones
Well set a lock screen, and see if they will factory reset it.
Always backup first. Maybe they already know how to enter android recovery mode.

Lol, I survived childhood and half a century with no smartphone.
Maybe they just want some quiet time and space. Regardless of what you do they will get it... free will and hormones are a potent mix.
Being available 24/7 isn't a blessing, it's a curse.

IMO this only can be achieved on a phone with rooted Android running a related looping service in background mode.
Example code
Code:
// read the airplane mode setting
boolean isEnabled = Settings.System.getInt(
getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 0) == 1;
// toggle airplane mode
Settings.System.putInt(
getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, isEnabled ? 0 : 1);
// Post an intent to reload
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", !isEnabled);
sendBroadcast(intent);

I'm working on permanently disabling airplane mode in a slightly customized ROM I'm working on. Essentially, I want nothing to change when a user clicks the airplane mode button.
This is on the Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 (sch-i705).
I'm hoping for a simple solution (i.e. deleting some module) that will disable the functionality behind airplane mode or adjust which radios toggle when airplane mode is enabled.
I'm not sure where to start - right now I'm slogging through an upacked system.img with no success, and haven't found anything in my xda/google searches. Ideas of what files I could remove or modify?
So far I've tried looking through existing modules to see if airplane mode is like wifi (ie has drivers or something that can somehow be removed). It was a longshot, and I didn't come up with anything.
Anyone have any idea what I could modify in the system image to adjust which radios airplane mode toggles?
Still haven't figured this out - anyone have any ideas?
Out of curiosity... why?

I'm working on designing an educational tablet that can be remotely managed (new content can be pushed, new apps can be added for the students, etc.). The issue is, if a student accidentally (or on purpose) turns on Airplane Mode, I would lose my connection with the tablet and be unable to interact with it, or restore it remotely. Not allowing airplane mode would be an easy way to avoid this problem.
It doesn't seem like there is an easy way to do this though.. I'm trying to sort out whether I could change the radios Airplane Mode toggles, or maybe change the UI so Airplane mode isn't offered as an option (right now it can only be accessed by pushing the power button, because I have access to settings restricted)
Any ideas?
That sounds like that solves your problem to remove airplane mode from the power menu.

Hello Z3 owners,
I know this is probably only 1 setting but I can't find it.
What I ment was that when I'm connected to a WiFi I'll only get messages from Whatsapp for example when I'm turning
on the screen for about 3 seconds.
Is this an energyoption ? Didn't found anything till yet.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance

Your English is better than my Spielergesprechan.
Go to the battery manager, then scroll down until you see Whatsapp (for example), and ensure you don't have `restrict background data` set for it.
In WiFi advanced settings there is an option to set if you want WiFi always on, or always on if connected to charger or off with screen off. I'm guessing its set to turn off with screen off.

Guess this was my mistake, it was set to "None ( Higher Datavolume )"
Nevermind, even with this Setting it doesn't work..
I could record my screen ( for example if I get a mail or sth ) and show it to you if needed
The messages only arrive if I unlock it.
I'm an IT-Specialist so I think I'm not that dumb :|
I really don't get what's the problem :s
Anyone else experiencing this ?

Got the solution. I had some other energysettings on.
For example: I had WLAN-Energyoptions turned on while my Stamina-Mode was off.
Or my stamina Mode was on and my WLAn-Energyoptinos were off.
Ridiculous..
My problem is solved now! Thanks for all your help.

Hi
Been trying to find a way to shutdown the antenna without airplane mode.
I don't have 4g coverage everywhere anyway, so I figured to save some battery by shuting that down on occasion...
Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Any reason why you do not prefer the airplane mode ?
In case you are wondering, you can still turn on WiFi in airplane mode.
I'm interested too. I just got the 32gb version and the "no sim" prompt is a bit annoying. Since I don't have a sim in I don't think it's using batteries (I hope it doesn't) so it's not that bad.

There is an app in the play store called "network". Install it, open it and you can turn off the radio. Use it cautiously, you can screw up the settings if you're not careful, but it is useful for this need.

What's the problem with Airplane Mode + WiFi?
Cheers
Well I don't really have a problem with airplane mode, but would like a easy toggle / widget solution instead of the powerbutton solution

Toggle? Why can't it stay in airplane mode all the time?
Well answer is simple, in the course of a day I can enter and leave 4g/ lte /3g zones up to 10 times , and on occasion it would be nice to be able to very quickly turn on and off the 4g radio. Using the power button ( the button is a tad too "mushy" , on occasion I struggle to press it correctly) or browsing through the menus to find the toggle is a hassle ( specially now that you can't edit the toggles in the notification bar, thank you lollipop)
I think Lollipop has dynamic toggles, meaning once you access a setting a few times it would be added to your quick settings for easy access, or removed if you don't use it. I've noticed this on my phone (Moto G), but I haven't really given it any attention on my Shield tablet. It is possible Nvidia didn't keep this functionality I suppose.
Anyone know of a way to "force the issue" so to speak?
As in force lollipop to show the toggles I need....
The best solution I can think of is a 3rd party app. Power Toggles might be a good one.

You could use an RFID tag that is used with the app 'RFID Task Launcher' to turn on airplane mode and then turn on WiFi. You could setup when you tap once again to then turn off airplane mode (wifi will stay on).
Wouldn't that require root?

Problem is that lollipop seems to block third party access to ,amongst other things airplane mode
the best I've been able to do is set up a widget that sends me to the correct menu tab in settings so I can "flip" the airplane mode switch

None also mutes alarms so not really.. "Priority" is silent mode, but with the extra feature of letting you choose apps that can bypass it. If you never set an app to priority then its the exact same as silent.
All = normal
Vibrate = Vol down to zero and it'll only vibrate
Priority = Silent mode but extra feature letting you choose specific apps to bypass it
None = new mode with absolutely no sound/vibration for anything including alarms

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

Also try clearing system cache in the boot menu.
If that doesn't get it, modify the appropriate notification setting, lol.
That can be a daunting task but sort of fun because you can streamline your notification settings as you do so.

There are apps that log notifications so you can just check the log and quickly determine what is causing the notification even if nothing is showing on-screen

If they catch it. Consider which sensors and operation triggers it, cause and effect, to narrow it down.
Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...
I figured that out by chance..
It's the edge-compass app
Just delete it from edge apps and it'll go away.. cheers

But I think I'm able to replicate the issue, it mostly happens when my phone is face down on a surface and I pick it up and turn it to me, I don't have a case on it yet and I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with the edge screen but so far no luck
Use good lock. It has a module to detect vibrations and tell you what they are

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
