HTC Flyer WiFi Only Version Turn off Cell Radio

---

Granted it does not have a real Cell radio installed but a few of use have seen the "Cell Standby" using the battery.

Tablet Information > Turn off Radio at the bottom. Since I have the WiFi only version I'm thinking it might save a little battery power since my battery monitor shows "Cell Standby" as one process that uses up some battery time.

I don't know if it helps but you can go into Airplan-mode (Settings -> Wireless & networks). After you select this mode you have to turn on WiFi again.

Yes Airplane Mode will do the same but I did not like the unlock screen with Airplane mode on. I like the Sence unlock screen better.

LOL and this needs the location function which use the cell radio.

But what I learn from your request is that also the WiFi model have an GSM but only no SIM-card-hardware.

EDIT: I check the radio off-switch in the "Tablet Information" test tool and this also helps, no Airplane mode, normal unlock-screen but as soon as the location function is used (weather app, locations app, ...) the Flyer crashes and reboot with radio on
Maybe it didn't when you switch off also the location function in the settings? I didn't try it.

Really? I don't have any of these problems with the Radio off by this hack such as it is, I never did it through the settings options. I rebooted and the radio did come back on...but that is good to know as well.

Stupid ? sorry. Do you have to turn off radio everytime you power off and on the flyer? Everytime I power off and back on radio is back on. You can't use bluetooth while in airplane mode. thank you

The cell radio is re-enabled after a reboot.
