Now tried my third airplane mode toggle widget...and none work. Anyone else experiencing this? I seem to recall one that didn't work on my orig. Razr once, but three of them?
If I'm not mistaken, Google removed the ability for a third party widget to put the phone in Airplane Mode starting with 4.2, though it should take you to the settings. I agree with the last user - pull down notifictaion shade with two fingers (or one finger and hit the settings gear icon) and airplane mode is right there. Or long-press power and it's there as well.
Hey no problem and just in case you didn't know another tip that you can use from that screen after you do the two finger swipe down... if you long press the WiFi or the Bluetooth icons they act as toggles instead of taking you to another screen first to turn them on and off.Well, I never knew about the two finger swipe! Thanks. It would be nice if they'd tell us all this stuff...I do read the manuals, too...and wondered why they stuck an extra screen there to access the settings. Thanks so much. BTW, I did get Droidmania's Sound toggle to work.

Ranting: there are two things you do ALL the time, turn sound on/off and airplane on/off. For some reason, the ability to turn sound on/off left about two phones back (tho' I note that the iphones still do!) and now you can't get to airplane without an extra step. Stupid.

Would you accept, PRETTY DARNED OFTEN, Chief?

Nope not really. But that's just me. Honestly I don't use the airplane mode at all (not even when I am on an airplane)
I didn't realize how many folks leave their phones on all night. Crazy. Not me. Airplane at bed, off when I'm up...when it's set to silent anyway, why drain the battery all night for nothing?
