Solved: Turn off 3G/2G but retain wifi
Hey all, Verizon has zero coverage in my school's library. The wifi connection is great. I have noticed in previous phones that the phone constantly searching for a cell-network signal drains the battery like crazy.
How do I turn off the cell-service but keep wifi on? I tried turning off "Network data" but that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Update: Due to the kindness of Droid-savvy commenters, it appears that you can turn off cell-service while retaining Wifi.
1) Turn on Airplane mode via holding down the sleep/wake button on the top of the droid
2) select airplane mode
3) Turn on wifi via Network settings or Wifi toggle widget.
