Airplane mode does not turn off. What is the flight mode in a smartphone. Why the phone needs a flight mode - useful tips

Very often, phone owners are faced with such a problem as turning off flight mode. It would seem that this could be complicated, because somehow the same person turned on this mode? But not so simple. Sometimes it happens that this mode is activated independently or by accident, it can also be turned on by a child inadvertently - anything happens. So, to help those who are faced with such a problem, today we will talk about a few simple and effective ways to turn off airplane mode.

The easiest way

First, it’s the easiest way to turn off flight mode - use the icon in the status bar or the so-called curtain. Surely everyone saw her when they lowered the curtain to look at notifications or turn on wifi, for example. The airplane mode icon looks standard on all phones - this is an image of an airplane. To disable the mode, you just need to click on this icon.

Phone settings

The second way to turn off the flight mode (fly mode) is to use the phone’s settings. Unfortunately, not all devices can turn off the “flight” through the status bar, because there simply may not be a special “button” there. But do not despair, because in this case the settings will help. So here is what you need to do:

1. First you need to go to the phone settings.
2. Next, you need to find the section that relates to networks and connections. Usually it goes the very first in the list of all parameters.
3. Now you need to click on the "More" button, which is located in this section.
4. In the opened submenu, the necessary switch will be located to turn off the flight mode. Everything is simple!

Shutdown menu

The third way to turn off the flight mode (fly mode) is to resort to using the special shutdown menu. This is also a fairly simple, fast and effective method that will allow you to disable this mode (flight) in just a few seconds.

All you need to do is hold down the power button for a few seconds. A small menu with several items should appear on the screen, one of which is just responsible for turning the flight mode on and off. All you need to do is click on the appropriate item.

Important: on some phone models, especially on Chinese devices, for example Meizu, this menu may not be available, and everything that appears on the screen when you hold down the power button has two points: power on and reboot. So this is also worth considering.

Special application

Well, the last way to turn off the flight mode in your phone is to use special applications and utilities. Yes, no matter how strange it may sound, but even for such a trifle as the flight mode, there are special small programs with widgets for the desktop through which, in fact, this mode is controlled.

Several interesting applications can be noted:

1. Airplane On / Off Widget is a small desktop widget application that creates a small switch on the screen. With this switch, you can control the flight mode in one click.
2. Another application similar to the first one is Airplane Mode Widget. The principle of operation here is the same as above. A small widget with a switch through which the flight mode is controlled is created on the screen.
3. Multi Switcher is also an extremely simple application through which you can create any widget switch on your desktop, including for controlling flight mode.

Download all of the above programs can be absolutely free in the application store.

What to do if I cannot turn off the flight mode (fly mode)

Sometimes, many users are faced with such a problem that none of the above methods work, and you cannot turn off the “flight”. This happens due to a software malfunction in the operating system, and this can not be prevented. In general, these are all the consequences of poorly optimized operation of the OS, as well as the introduction of certain changes to it.

There is only one way to deal with this problem - resetting all phone settings to the factory state. This is done through the device settings. You need to find the menu item called “Memory and backups” (it can be called differently on different devices). In it, almost at the very bottom will be the item "Reset to factory settings."

Actually, this is the only chance to get rid of the problem when you can’t turn off the flight mode.

Airplane mode is a special feature that allows you to turn off the mobile network and the Internet without turning off the device itself. It is often used when traveling on an airplane or in cases where you need to temporarily turn off calls. However, users of Windows 10 who haven’t turned it off and haven’t used it often find that the Wi-Fi network and LAN connection are not working due to this mode. Therefore, in this topic we will talk about how to enable and disable the mode in a Windows 10 airplane, to solve problems with its absence in the Settings section.

  How to enable and disable the mode in the airplane Windows 10?

Airplane mode on a Windows 10 computer can be turned on and off in several ways:

• Keyboard shortcut;
• Using the system settings.

Using the keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the mode in a Windows 10 airplane can be quite simple. To do this, press "Fn" and the button with the image of the airplane icon. Often it is “F2”, “F10” or “F12” (see the instructions for the laptop).

With these combinations, this mode is turned on and off.

To disable airplane mode in Windows 10 through the system settings, you should do the following.

• Click "Start" and select "Options".
• A new window will open. Select the section "Network and Internet".

• In the menu on the left, select the section “Airplane Mode”.

• Drag the slider to the “Enabled” or “Disabled” position (depending on the target).

Or disabling this mode can be done through the taskbar. We click on the special icon on it and select “Turn on” and “Turn off” the mode in the airplane.

  What to do if the mode in the airplane of Windows 10 does not turn off?

The first thing you need to write about is the situation when this mode stops working. The other day, when connecting the modem to Windows 10, a problem was noticed with the mode in the airplane.

As soon as the modem was connected, this mode became active for control. It could be turned on and off. As soon as the modem was turned off (pulled out of the slot), the flight mode hung.

Decision. Reboot the PC. We connect the modem. And as soon as the mode becomes active, turn it off. And only after that we disconnect the modem.

Method 1

Airplane mode may not work if the laptop goes into sleep. If you closed the lid of the laptop, sending the device to sleep, you need to turn on the laptop, and then reboot it. The mode will become active and you can turn it off.

Method 2

Airplane mode stops working when network drivers have flown. To do this, go to the "Device Manager" and select "Network Drivers."

Right-click on the device and select “Update Driver”. Next, follow the prompts of the Installer Wizard.

Method 3

You need to turn off power saving for the wireless adapter. In Windows 10, this is not difficult. To do this, do the following:

• Open the "Device Manager" and select "Network Adapters" in the list. Right-click on it and select "Properties".
• A small window will appear. Go to the "Power Management" tab.
• Uncheck the box “Allow this device to be turned off to save power”.

• Save the changes and reboot the PC.

Method 4

To solve problems with the mode on the plane, you can try to remove the Wi-Fi adapter. We find it in the same “Device Manager” and, by right-clicking, select “Delete”.

After the adapter is removed and the system reboots, it will reappear in the list. The software will install automatically. The airplane mode can be turned off, as it is directly connected to the network.

Method 5

Airplane mode may not work if the WLAN Auto-Tuning service is disabled. Therefore, click “Win \u200b\u200b+ R” and enter “services.msc”.

We find this service and run it.

We reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

IMPORTANT! If in the “Parameters” there is no “Airplane Mode” tab, then turn on the “WLAN Auto-Tuning Service”.

If these methods did not solve the problem, you should roll back the system to an earlier state.

Sometimes accidentally clicking on the screen of a phone or smartphone can create a lot of problems. For example, often users accidentally turn on flight mode, after which they cannot understand why their phone refuses to make and receive calls. Now we will tell you what the flight mode is, why it is needed and how to turn it off.

Flight mode indicator.

Flight mode is a special mode of operation of a mobile phone, smartphone or other portable device in which all the wireless technologies that this device is equipped with are turned off. In this mode, the possibility of incoming and outgoing calls, sending and receiving SMS messages, wireless Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth, as well as other wireless connections is disabled. At the same time, all other functions of the device work as usual. So, on a mobile phone with flight mode on, you can listen to music, watch movies or play games.

The logic of the flight mode may vary significantly, depending on the manufacturer of the mobile phone. In most cases, turning on airplane mode disables all wireless technologies that can transmit the signal. While technologies that work only on reception (for example, FM-radio and GPS) continue to work. But, in some cases, all wireless technologies may be turned off altogether.

Flight mode is designed for use on board aircraft, where wireless technology can affect bot systems and instrumentation. But, it should be noted that the use of the phone on board the aircraft depends on the policy of the airline. Some airlines have very strict rules and you cannot use the phone on their flights, even with the flight mode turned on.

Other terms are sometimes used to indicate flight mode. For example, it is not uncommon for a flight mode to be called autonomous mode, air mode, or “airplane mode”.

How to enable or disable airplane mode

On smartphones with the Android operating system, you can turn the flight mode on and off using the button in the top curtain. To do this, swipe from the top edge of the screen and click on the “Airplane Mode” button.

Also, the flight mode can be turned on or off in the Android settings, in the "Network and Internet" section.

On the iPhone, as well as other Apple devices, the flight mode can be turned on or off using the “Control Point” menu. To do this, swipe from the bottom of the screen and press the button with the image of the plane.

In addition, in the iOS settings there is a switch "Airplane Mode", with which you can also control the flight mode.

How can I use flight mode

The flight mode can be effectively used not only during air travel, but also in everyday use, for example:

• You can turn on flight mode when you do not want to be disturbed. After you turn it on, you will no longer receive incoming calls or messages, since your phone will be offline.
• Airplane mode can be used to save battery power. Wireless technologies consume a lot of energy, so when you do not need them, you can turn them off and extend the battery life of the phone.
• Short-term inclusion of the flight mode works as a reboot of the wireless modules, which helps to solve problems with wireless connections.

Users who have installed the Windows 10 operating system on their computers, laptops, or tablets often find it working in Airplane mode and cannot use Wi-Fi or other wireless networks. This mode can and should be used while on board an airliner, or, for example, in a hospital, but it will be useful to understand how to turn off the mode in an airplane on Windows 10. This is what this article will discuss in today's article. We will tell you what kind of mode it is, teach you how to turn it off correctly, and describe what problems may arise in connection with this.

This operation algorithm for Windows 10 completely disables all connections that use the radio channel. This is necessary so as not to interfere with the functioning of the navigation systems of the aircraft or the same cardiographs in the hospital. After activating the mode, the following interfaces will be turned off:

• Wi-Fi
• GPS, GLONASS, Baidu (any navigation services);
• NFC (sensor for transmitting data in an encrypted channel at ultra-short distances);
• any other types of adapters that this or that gadget can be equipped with.

How to disable forever

Deactivating this mode can be very simple from the system settings. In order to do this, follow our step by step instructions.

1. Open the Start menu and click on the Windows 10 Settings Launch button (small gear icon).

1. Select the tile labeled "Network and Internet" (we circled it with a red frame).

1. In the left half of the window, click on the inscription marked with the number “1”, and in the right half, switch the trigger position to the “Off” position.

If necessary, you can turn off selectively defined types of networks. You can do this in the same window in which we turned on the “On Airplane” mode. To do this, use one of the switches there.

Important! Some programs have the right to disable and enable wireless modules on their own, without your permission.

What to do if the mode does not turn off

After activating "On Airplane", some devices may start to malfunction. The wireless adapter on your WIFI network may stop turning on. Such problems were observed, for example, if the user activated FlyMode and immediately turned it off.

There were problems with the active mode and the further transition of the gadget with it to sleep. In such cases, the synchronization between the mode itself and the wireless adapters is disrupted, which leads to malfunctions. Let's figure out how to rid your device of such difficulties.

To make all the adapters work again, go to the section where we turned off Fly Mode and manually turn on all the triggers of all wireless networks supported by the gadget. After that, the problem should disappear.

In our case, there is only one switch. It all depends on the configuration of a separate gadget: if it is a desktop PC that does not have wireless interfaces, there will be no triggers at all.

Also, wireless interfaces may not turn on due to flown device drivers that serve them. Let's consider a solution to the problem using WI-FI as an example.

1. Launch device manager. You can find it through a Windows search. Open the tool using the keyboard shortcut Win + S. Then enter a query in the search field and click on the result that appears.

1. Expand the plus of network adapters and find your WIFI module. Right-click on the manipulator and select “Update Driver”. In Windows 10, the automatic driver search system for different devices has taken a big step forward - the likelihood that your device will be recognized and served is high.

In the next window, you will need to select a method for updating drivers. The number “1” indicates the option to search for software in Windows repositories, the number “2” indicates installation from the downloaded file.

After clicking on the first item, the driver will search for the network and, if it is detected, the system will automatically update the software.

Good to know! The driver is easiest to download on the official resource of the device. You should not look for it on third-party sites - so you endanger the computer.

Conclusion

Airplane mode disables all wireless adapters on a computer, laptop or tablet, and you and I learned how to remove it. In conclusion, we offer to watch a video in which the process of disabling this mode in Windows 10 is shown. If you still have questions, ask us in the comments - we will gladly help any user.
