Adds Tablet Mode/Phone Mode buttons to powerkey menu.

Enables switching the cellular modem on or off, without going into Offline mode. Handy for having WLAN enabled, but phone disabled (e.g. flights, hospitals) or to conserve battery in areas with low signal reception. Restarts SystemUI at the end of the installation/removal.

An extremely important app. I cannot understand why Nokia didn't include this. Good job!!

Very useful. Especially as my phone company provides a VoIP service that routes incoming calls through SIP, I don't actually need cell radio at all as long as wifi is on.

I like it, it could really come in handy sometimes. There's only one thing I'd want to ask, could you please do the Latin American Spanish translation, the words are actually the same you used for the Spanish one (I guess like UK and US ones). If there is a way I can do it myself tell me how please, beacuse i've been searching for a solution but no luck whatsoever.

@Fahed: this app has nothing to do with recording calls.

quite useful.. jus that icon size should be customizable and im not sure hot to use the x terminal, but whenever i pick a custom folder to save the recording in, it wont save.. like i receive a call, then the call ends, but the button is still green and call is not recorded.. and oh, can u do something so that the recorded call is not shown in the media player, jus the file manager?

Yes, although the application is almost perfect, it will be even better with 2G/3G/Dual selector all in one button.

I would give it 5 stars - but I'd love to combine this with "2G/3G/both" switch.

Très bonne idée, surtout pour rester en paix quand on veut aller sur le net ou regarder un film !

@Andy: vanilla operator name goes away perfectly, it is a bug/feature in Custom Operator widget, depends how you see it.

Very useful, although the Custom Operator Name widget does not recognize that the radio is off. (Not sure about the vanilla Maemo operator name).

Great app for saving battery life when only WiFi is needed. I also agree with David if enhancements are made.

Great but

  1. when i go to tablet mode and then go offline mode
  2. and then back to phone mode some of my widgets disappear from my desktops
  3. have to fully add back to desktop again

Works great... Agree with David B. Would be nice to have further buttons to enable/disable other functions. Have used Windows smartphones in the past and they always had a screen where you could see all connection methods at once and enable/disable each one as you liked without having to change screens

Great app. I cannot understand why it is not included in Maemo OS. However, it should be multilanguage. Is that possible?

Very useful solution until finer-grained control of radios is included in Maemo.

@J Chipman: Take a look at the "call forwarding applet", you can set divert there and then disable cell to achieve this.

Great add-on! Thanks very much.

What I need next is the option to make calls out but divert all calls to voicemail.

Very nice app. It would be great to have the button in my language, or to be able to modify the writing.

Excellent, great add on.

How about an option to switch between simple/advanced menu, the simple one being the screenshot above for non-techies and an advanced menu for us that like to turn certain services off such as the below:

  • WIFI
  • 3G
  • EDGE
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS
  • Autolock
  • Reboot Option

Great app :)
