Sweet Snurre, thanks! I will take a look. Your intent method totally worked, by the way. Different subject: Do you know whether there's a way to make these things work while the screen is off, without rooting? I'm okay with using adb but I'm not confident in my rooting abilities.

Okay! I think I checked my global settings correctly (add action -> device settings -> system settings -> global). After running the macro, I have the following: airplane_mode_on=0 airplane_mode_radios=cell,bluetooth,wifi,nfc,wimax Specially this could be interesting...

S Sorry, it sounds like I misunderstood your suggestion. I will reread your post, and also try to look at the settings as Snurre describes when I get back to my device. Again, everybody's generosity makes me so happy! Thanks,

Aha! Very interesting. Thanks, I will try. When I select the airplane mode action, it prompts me to choose between root and assistant. So as I interpret your recommendation, I will still select assistant but set something other than MacroDroid as the assistant in my Android settings. Assuming...

Not that you're obligated to hold my hand through all of my lazy noobery, but I will note that I tried a few more things and updated my original post. Flight mode isn't killing my 4g either, and a fix from another thread didn't work for me.

Ahh okay, thanks. In my phone, turning on airplane mode through the user interface also turns off wifi. I will do a better test.

This is a remedial/noob-type question. Let me know if it belongs somewhere else. Is there any reason why MacroDroid isn't toggling airplane mode on for me? I'm using Android 7.0, I'm not rooted and haven't done any adb stuff. I'm using a simple macro that just turns on flight mode (using the...
