Cutting off cellular activity?

[NJsFynest]

Is there anyway I can cut off cellular activity? Like, not recieve any calls or text messages with a button?

Reason being is because I use Wireless Tether for a connection to Xbox Live. Whenever I get a text, games lag for a few seconds and it'll cut of on phone calls. It's very annoying and it's NEVER anything important so I don't mind missing calls. Thanks!

Put it in airplane mode, there are tons of widgets that can do it, or you can long press the power button/lock button and it should be an option on that menu.

That won't work.

What he's trying to do, is maintain his data connection, cutting off all other forms of communication. Sort of like how Dialup used to be

I don't think there is anything you could do about this issue.

Yes I agree it's annoying, but what else are you going to do?

Maybe buy a new phone strictly for Data

Aww Poo =(

It kills me to say this but..... I could do that on my old Windows phone, cut off network connection with a button press.

But then again, I couldn't use Wireless Tethering with the Windows phone.

Create a profile specifically for this and you can press some shortcut buttons to enable it anytime.

Lol, then that's not exactly an extra point for WinPhone. Android can cut network connections with a button press too, but since it can tether, that also gets cut off.

To say it plainly....if you cut off cellular activity what are you tethering too?? Without the network connection you have nothing to tether with.

He's trying to disable calls and texts and neither of those rely on data.

If using GV for all calls you can use the do no disturb feature but I don't think that would stop the text messages.

I dont know if the technology will allow it. Someone would need to write middleware that sits between the radio and the phone software, so that the phone software was ONLY presented with data-type information. As soon as the phone is presented with voice-type information, it will switch modes and allow the call.

This may be possible, but I dont think it's been taken on.
