How to turn the 8900 off (completel​y) before boarding a plane

Is there an antenna On/Off feature?  Thanks.

What I do to comply with FAA and airline regs in the US:
1. When asked to turn your device off by the crew, go to Manage Connections > Mobile Network, and UNcheck your carrier connection.
2. Press the RED key about 3-5 seconds until you are notified the device is powering down.
When you are in the air, and notified that electronic devices are ok to use, 
3. Press the RED key again to power up the device. It will turn on with the radio OFF, which is what you want.
4. Upon being notified of landing or when asked by the crew, turn the device off again using the RED key.
5. When you land,  turn the device on once again using the RED key, and then return to Manage Connections and re-enable your Mobile Network.

  • How to turn the data off

    I just got my first Blackberry Z10. I am experinecing extreme high data usage although Wi-Fi is available. How can I turn the data off to control my usage? can't find it...

    IN your Settings (swipe down from the top bezel on the homescreen) > Network Connections> Mobile Network > your carrier > you can turn off data services and still retain WiFi data transmission.
    However, as stated above, if WiFi is connected, it will always be the preferred data pipe even if the mobile network data is ON.

    Your welcome,

    PS I have not been able to figure out the power on for this undocumented power off option. I do know it isn't: place iphone under rear of tire of parked automobile, start vehicle and drive in reverse two feet. I'll let you know when I have figured this out.

  • How to turn the music off

    the music/pause sign is always there next to the battery sign. how do i turn it off?

    I was wondering this too. The pause button is annoying BECAUSE when you switch the ipod back on it goes to the music page instead of the home page. If anyone knows how to get that pause button off the top without turning it off for 5+ minutes please let me know too (:
    Kenichi you should love this ipod psh

  • How Can  Turn the Sound off When Leaving a Slide?

    I have a slide with an FLV in it but the audio stays on when
    I leave the slide. How do I fix that?
    THX

    You can't turn off the screen as such, but there are ways of playing the audio only from a movie.
    On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
    Then select "TV Out" and set it to "on". I think that works.
    Or, you can access the video via the audio/music menu. For instance, if you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you won't be able to see the video but you will hear the audio track.

  • HELP PLEASE~How to turn the buzz off my iSight iMacG5...

    Hi all,
    I seriously need some help here. I've got my iMac 20" couple weeks ago, and it was quiet at first. I didn't hear the buzz sound coming from the middle left until maybe about 3~5 days. Now my roommate just got a 17" iSight iMac, which is whisper quiet. I still can hear the fan or air goes in and out from her machine but it is totally acceptable unlike mine...
    I thought it was due to the upgrade to 10.4.3, so I reinstalled the OS again but the sound's still there. I then took it to a mac store to examine it. This evening a techincian told me it normally functions in a quiet room and he thinks everything's right, so I took it back but the sound's still there...
    Few iMac 20" users here also have the same buzz problems like mine. I really hope it becomes as quiet as the first time I got it, so please let me know if you have any ideas to solve this...The buzz really annoys me especially when I don't hear anything from my roomate's...
    Any input will be much appreicated. Thank you.

    Why don't try reseting the SMU here are the Directions on how to do it.
    The SMU (System Management Unit) is a microcontroller chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMU may resolve it. The SMU controls several functions, including:
    Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so on.
    Handling system resets from various commands.
    Controlling the fans.
    Note that resetting the SMU does not reset the PRAM. Resetting the SMU will not resolve issues in which your computer is unresponsive—in these situations, restarting your computer will generally suffice. If your computer isn't responding, perform these steps one at a time, in this order, until the issue has been resolved:
    Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
    Restart (Control-Command-Power).
    Force Shut Down (press the power button for 10 seconds).
    Resetting the SMU can resolve some computer issues such as not starting up, not displaying video, sleep issues, fan noise issues, and so on. If your computer still exhibits these types of issues even after you've restarted the computer, try resetting the SMU. To reset the SMU on an iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor) computer, simply do the following:
    Turn off the computer by choosing Shut Down from the Apple menu, or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
    Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
    Wait 10 seconds.
    Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
    Let go of the power button.
    Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
    Unlike earlier iMac G5 computer models, the iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor) and iMac G5 (iSight) computers do not have a button on the main logic board for resetting the SMU. This eliminates the need to remove the computer's back cover to reset the SMU.
    Post back, Miguel

  • How to turn the airport off when not in use

    My airport network is currently running 24/7. I'm away from home a large part of the day. Is there a way to disable it, and then re-enable w/o unplugging it from the wall?
    Thanks.

    Home Depot and Lowes have simple electronic timers that plug into the AC socket that will allow you to set auto ON/OFF times. The Express would plug right into the device.

    my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s?

    How do you turn the cloud OFF on an iPhone 4s? I don't use the cloud, but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage to back my phone up.

    iCloud is probably being used to store your Contacts so perhaps you really just want to turn off iCloud backups. Use the Settings app.
    Settings > iCloud > Turn off Backup
    After you turn off iCloud backup be sure to initiate some other backup strategy. Backing up to iTunes is a good alternative.

  • I cannot get my preferred images to remain on the desktop.  Through preferences I choose an image and it disappears each time I turn the computer off: why?  And how can I stop this?

    When I go to 'desktop' in system preferences and choose an image for the desktop, it disappears when I turn the computer off.  Why is this?  And how can I get an image to remain until I choose to change it?  It acts this way whether I click 'change' or not.

    If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image of a galaxy at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "Team Viewer" application has this effect, as reported by ASC user Zimmerwald. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.
    According to one report, a "stuck" desktop picture setting can be fixed by changing the setting and then immediately rebooting. I can't confirm, but there's no harm in trying it.
    If none of the above applies to you, proceed as follows.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.
