How do i turn off the service searching?plz read

Ok so I was stationed to Iwankuni Japan and of course my awesome iphone doesn't work out here :'-( how can i turn off the phone part so that i can still have my wifi on and it isn't searching for service?
pretty much i want to make it an ipod touch.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Just put it into Airplane mode: settings> airplane mode on
This will also disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth though. To avoid this, take out the SIM card; then you'll have Wi-Fi, and all the non-phone features. Use a paperclip to press on the hole next to to the earphone recess; press firmly and the SIM card tray will pop out. Make sure you put the SIM card somewhere safe, away from magnetic sources. When you return home, simply put the SIM card back in; and you'll resume normal service, with no need to activate again.

How do I turn off the Firefox search on my Android phone?

I have gone to default applications and Firefox is not listed there but still the quick search shows up every time after I press the home button, when I'm not even searching for anything. Then it's like it is stuck because I have have to press the home button 20 times to get rid of it. Then it will close and pop up again. Sometimes it also doesn't take me out of the app to my home screen on the phone.

Normally, tapping the device home button should switch from Firefox to your device's home screen.
There is a function to show a search box when you tap ''and slide up'' on the home button, or press ''and hold'' the home button, but that wouldn't usually fire just from a straight tap.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius.

How do I turn off the Genius app in App Store. I've gone to Settings/Privacy/Location Services/System Services then swiped Genius for apps 'off''. Also, I've gone to Settings/ITunes and App Stores/Click on AppleID/View Apple ID and then turn off Genius. Still nothing has worked. I'm still stuck with Genius offering the same apps to me. Mind you, once I click on the App Store there is nothing I can do but swipe left and right. There's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the screen like a features tab, nothing. There is, however, a categories button at the top, but that's it. Irrelevant.

FWIW, I just got off the phone with Apple technical support about this. I use Genuis for creating playlists, so I don't want to disable it, but Apple support confirmed that there is no way to avoid syncing Genius data without disabling Genius altogether. I'd read somewhere else that subscribing to iTunes Match might allow you to avoid this, but that is NOT the case, as I've confirmed, and Apple support has confirmed. For me, it routinely syncs thousands genius of items, so I have to allow a lot of time for my manual syncs.

Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar?

How do you turn off the suggestions form the google search bar? the drop down boxes are really starting to annoy me!

You can't turn off the suggestions in Safari, though you may be able to do that if you install Glims, which also offers some additional options that aren't available directly in Safari.
Quit Safari before you install it, then restart and go to Preferences>Glims to setup your options.
As for drop-down boxes, what exactly are you referring to?

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

How can i turn off the spam filter for HP eprintcenter?

zanganah;
I hope you are doing well and sorry to learn that you are having this issue;
Most of the time when you have issues receiving emails is that the email have something like FWD subject line. Eliminate that.
Does the email have a title? Make sure it does.
ePrint emails can only have one email address in the “To:” field. To send an email to your printer and to additional email addresses of friends and family at the same time, put your printer's email address in the “To:” field, and put your friends/family email addresses in the “BCC” (blind carbon copy) field.
Also this are some of the limitations of the service to keep in mind;
The attachment size or number of attachments exceeded the allowed limit.
There is a 5 MB limit to the email and a 5MB limit to each attachment. HP ePrint supports a maximum of 10 attachments to a single email. Emails that exceed these limits will not print.
Is the attached file supported by ePrint? Supported attachments include:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft Excel*
Text files (.txt)
PDF
HTML
Images (bmp, jpg, png, gif, tiff)
* HP strongly recommends that you preview documents in Excel before printing.
Hope this helps:
RobertoR
And Remember . . .
You can say THANKS by clicking the KUDOS STAR. If my suggestion resolves your issue Mark as a "SOLUTION" this way others can benefit Thanks in Advance!

How do I turn off the auto suggestions from Goggle on Firefox's home page

How do I turn off the auto suggestion on Firefox/Google home page? I cannot stand that feature of Google. If I can't be done, I will go back to Firefox 3.x. When I was using Firefox's home search page (Powered by Goggle), it did not auto suggest.

did you check the suggestions mentioned in the article i posted in my previous post ??

HT1430 How do I turn off the data when I am not in a WiFi location? I noticed that I am using data when the phone is "on" and I am not in a WiFi situation, but not on the internet. So, how do I turn off the data?

How can I turn off the LTE data when I am someplace where there is not WiFi and I do not want my LTE running up a bill? I have tracked my usage and realize that the LTE is being used even when I am not using it, just because the phone is turned on.

Merely being on should not use any data. You must have something running - something using push notifications, or push email, prhaps?
So, you can either track down what is using the data and change it, or you could go in and disaple cellular data in your settings.
One other thing to check is
Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostic and Usage data -> set it to "Don't Send"
Settings -> Restrictions -> Location Services -> System Services -> turn all these "OFF" (this will not affect how you use your phone at all, but will stop any outgoing location information being sent periodically back to Apple).
