...or take notes, or reference my calendar, or use app X (that remains useful without a live internet stream), etc.
What Airplane Mode says (in this context) is: I don't want to be interrupted but I still want this increasingly important pocket computer to be available.
I've been doing this myself quite a bit; though more-so with my iPad. What I'd really like to see for this, is some sort of device-wide "Do Not Disturb". Something that doesn't turn off the radios, but does suppress the various 'interruptions': rings, buzzes, reminders, push notifications, etc. Because sometimes you want to focus on an app that requires a data connection.
- hammock 16y agoThere is a notifications profile on BlackBerry that is not visible by default but can easily be turned on that does exactly that- it's called "All Alerts Off" - WAY more silent than the "silent" profile which still blinks the little red light and pops up calendar alerts. I have seen similar notifications profiles on other mobile OS as well, perhaps called "Do Not Disturb." In any case it would be a good one to create yourself and have.
- epochwolf 16y agoThe iPad has an on/off button in the notifications section of settings. I don't know if it will silence mail and other preinstalled apps.
