I simply installed Beautiful Widgets and used the airplane mode toggle widget to turn it on and then the wifi toggle widget to turn wifi back on. You will now have the phone, oops, I mean tablet with the phone radios off and wifi on. I could be crazy but it seems to have improved performance and battery life since I did this yesterday. It's funny because an hour after I got this tablet I wanted to return it. The more I have customized it the happier I am with the purchase.

Saw the same tip on the XDA BoardI've installed a profiler app to create a profile that has Cell off WiFi on among other things.

If there is no phone radio, what difference could this MAKE? Does it shut off other running PROCESSES? Check running processes under settings on and off and report differences please. Thanks

Sounded like a good idea for extending battery life. However I just ran a series of 2 hour tests with airplane mode off and then on - Sorry to say absolutely no difference in battery life. Battery life went from 100% to 59% in a 2 hour period with the mode off and then on - but it was worth a shot.John

Wonder what is running that takes 55% of battery usage that reports as Cell Radio. Sounds like it not the radio emulator.

So has anyone actually timed their battery runtime before and after turning of the phantom radios?

has anyone figured out what takes up 55% of battery life and proclaims it's the radio? thx
