[Q] How do I turn airplane mode immediately upon power on? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to use my SGS (for games and movies) while flying.
When we board the plane, we are asked to turn off all electronic device. No problem
After reaching high altitude, we can now use electronic devices BUT must turn off data, wifi, and cell signal. This is where the problem occurs. After turning on the phone, the phone immediately searches for signal and I am unable to turn on airplane mode until about 30 seconds after the splash screen load up.
Is there any way to enable an option where as soon as we press power button (from when phone is off) we are giving a choice to turn on airplane mode or turn phone on to be use as a regular phone?

turn flight mode on before you turn off phone. it should start up with flight mode on. Also install one of them flight mode widgets from market. Quick and simple

Why not using a pincode?

Cool thanks! I didnt realize turning the phone off while it's on flightmode means it will retain flightmode status when power on again.

or just put flight mode on before you get on plane and ignore the fact its still on?
anyways, they say it only needs flight mode on, you need to turn them off.

You don't have to unlock your sim before using it ? Because what I do is instead of entering my pin I hold power button and set it to airplane

There is no danger of turning your phone on for 30 seconds on a Plane.
Just turn your phone on and switch to flight mode.
EDIT: If it is imperative that you start the phone in flight mode, take the SIM out.

Try turning it off with your power button menus first, them go to wireless settings and do it there. As its trying, reboot phone and it will work. I had this happening to me. Let me know if you have any other questions..

[Q] Disable Auto airplane mode

So here's the issue:
My pure now goes into auto airplane mode whenever I turn the screen off. The wi-fi used to come on whenever I turned the screen back on, but now just airplane mode...
Any ideas?
Ok, maybe a need to remap the buttons is the issue. I will report back.
The issue is resolved as Wi-Fi turns on automatically when I come out of sleep mode. Only thing I did was remove Gaz's Touch Tools.

[Q] Stuck on Flight Mode ON - No Wifi, No Bluetooth, No Cellnetwork

I dropped my phone in the water. Got the battery out quickly and opened up the phone from A to Z (except the circuitry under the screen) and got it dry, left it to dry for 48 hours on top.
Now, my phone is back together and it boots, screen works, sound works, OS works.
But the phone is always in Airplane mode when I boot it. If I try to change the Airplane Mode to Off from the menu shown while pressing Power, it says it turned it Off, but it's then greyed out (can't turn it On and says its off). If I go in the Settings in Wireless settings, Flight mode is still on. If I try to turn it Off from there, it says, turning on wireless things.. but stays there.. If i go <-back and go back into Wireless settings, flight mode is still On. If I go in Wifi settings, the wifi is off, if I select it to be on, it starts scanning and eventually says: Unable to scan networks.
So, I'm wondering, what part is busted ? Anyone know ? My connections seem to be OK, I've put it back as it was. I'm basically bummed.
Also, in settings-status my IMEI is unknown and pretty much everything relating to connectivity. USB works though.
Any ideas? tricks ? anything ? other than buying a new phone to replace this one.
Cheers.

Flight Mode Galaxy a8

Hey guys,
i know its difficult without root, but my idea is: Google Now can be activated even in lock screen. Google now can turn phone in to flight mode. So how can i create a task and so on to say google now ( without my voice) that google now shall turn in flight mode and turn off flight mode?
For example: if i charge my phone --> google now-->flight mode.
2nd Idea if this will not work: Amazon Echo says Google Now (with voice)--> Wait like 5 seconds-_>Echo says: Turn in Flight Mode.
Thanks for any help!!
Something like this?
