Sounds familiar?<\/p>\n

A few years back phones didn’t have the option to just easily switch to flight mode. You were asked to switch off your device completely. With flight mode at least you can still read your electronic copy of Grey on your tablet or compile that e-mail before you forget what you want to say (your phone will save it in your Outbox and send when it connects again). And you can do all of this during\u00a0landing and take-off without being scolded at by a flight attendant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Flight mode<\/span> is a setting on your phone that turns off the mobile network, Wi-Fi, FM radio, GPS and Bluetooth connections on your phone with one click.<\/p>\n

In other words – all the apps requiring any kind of network connection will be switched off while still permitting use of other functions that do not require signal transmission (e.g., games, built-in camera, MP3 player, etc.) Full list of functions\u00a0that will work in flight\u00a0mode.<\/a><\/p>\n

Because your device will stop trying to connect to a cell phone tower or a Wi-Fi spot, you will save quite a bit of battery power. Apart from using this mode for when you’re flying, it can be very useful if you want to preserve your phone’s battery life.<\/p>\n

To get the most from your phone’s battery life, switch to flight\u00a0mode before charging – especially if you have limited time to charge. This way your phone will charge a little faster than usual.<\/p>\n

      Klink bekend?\u00a0<\/p>\n

      `n Paar jaar gelede het selfone nie die opsie gehad om maklik na flight mode<\/em> te verander nie. Jy is gevra om jou toestel heeltemal af te skakel. Met\u00a0flight mode\u00a0<\/em>kan jy nou nogsteeds jou elektroniese kopie van Grey op jou tablet lees of die e-pos skryf voordat jy vergeet wat jy wou s\u00ea (jou foon sal dit in jou Outbox<\/em> b\u00eare totdat jy weer aanlyn is). En jy kan dit alles doen selfs gedurende opstyg en land sonder dat `n lugwaardin met jou raas.<\/p>\n

      \"\"Flight mode <\/em>is `n verstelling op jou foon wat die mobile netwerk, Wi-Fi, FM-radio, GPS en Bluetooth-verbindings op jou foon met een kliek afsit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Met ander woorde – al die toepassings wat enige vorm van netwerkverbinding vereis sal afgesit word, terwyl alle ander toepassing wat NIE seintransmissies nodig het nie, (byvoorbeel e-lesers, kameras, spelethies, MP3-speler, ens.) steeds\u00a0kan gebruik word.\u00a0Volledige lys van funksies wat steeds beskikbaar is in flight mode.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

      Omdat jou toestel nie meer sal probeer verbind aan `n selfoontoring of Wi-Fi punt nie, sal jy terselfdertyd jou foon se batterykrag spaar. Flight mode<\/em> is dus selfs nuttig al vlieg jy nie.<\/p>\n

      Om die meeste uit jou selfoon se batterylewe te kry, skakel na flight mode\u00a0<\/em>voordat jy jou foon begin laai – veral as jy `n beperkte tyd het om dit te laai. Op hierdie manier sal jou foon `n klein bietjie vinniger laai.<\/p>\n

      Lees ook waarvoor flight mode<\/em> nog nuttig is\u00a0op\u00a0Gizmodo.<\/a><\/p>\n

      Skakel flight mode<\/em> aan of af (Windows)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Kies\u00a0Start<\/span><\/em>, vee\u00a0links na die\u00a0App<\/span><\/em>\u00a0lys, en tik\u00a0Settings <\/span><\/em>\"Settings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        Tik op\u00a0Flight mode<\/em> en skakel dit aan of af.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Skakel flight mode<\/em> aan of af (Android)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
          \n
        1. Vee af na die bokant van die skerm.<\/li>\n
        2. Vee van regs na links\u00a0\u2190 totdat jy\u00a0Settings<\/em> \ufffc\ufffc\"\"\u00a0sien en tik daarop.<\/li>\n
        3. Beweeg tot jy Airplane mode <\/em>sien.<\/li>\n
        4. Tik\u00a0Airplane mode<\/em>\u00a0om dit aan of af te sit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Skakel flight mode<\/em> aan of af <\/strong>\u00a0(iOS)<\/b><\/p>\n

          Gaan na\u00a0Settings<\/em> > Airplane Mode<\/em> en tik op die gly-staaf.<\/p>\n

          \"<\/p>\n

          Jy kan ook van onder op jou skerm na bo vee om Control Center<\/em> oop te maak en tik dan op die vliegtuig-simbool.\u00a0<\/p>\n

          Wanneer flight mode geaktiveer is, sal jy `n vliegtuig simbool in jou toestel se lys van kennisgewings sien. Neem kennis dat bewoording mag verskil van foon tot foon, maar dit mag insluit –\u00a0flight mode, aeroplane mode, offline mode<\/em>\u00a0en\u00a0standalone mode.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n
