Default Cellular radio indicator in taskbar
I am not using a sim and have apn turned off. However theres is still a cellular indicator in the taskbar, and it changes as if picking up signals.

Why is this happening, when there is no cell network at all?

Airplane mode disables all RF if you want to save battery...

You can also download Airplane Mode WiFi, which allows you to switch WiFi and Bluetooth back on whilst the GSM radio is off.

Regards,

Dave

Thank you for the tip dave.

EDIT: as it turns out airplane mode already allows you to toggle wifi independantly in all 2.0+ versions of android COOL!
