Moto x and airplane mode

Oct 18, 2013 2:00AM PDT

The sleep function on the moto x does not turn off mobile data nor does it turn off recvg calls.
I have tried various schedulers from the Google play Store.

Is there any way to schedule Airplane mode OR am I stuck to physically turning on airplane mode via the hard button?

Thx.

Did you try an app for that?

Every Android I've had access to allowed me to drop an app on the screen to control this. The problem as I see it is that many new android owners are lost and there is no manual.

I have tried a number of apps - that include a scheduler function. But my phone still rings.

There is a built in sleep mode with the new Motorola droids (& moto x) - but very limited. I would like to think its useful for someone - but it's not me.

That's a defect. Make an appointment with the carrier.

No - when sleep is enabled. Should not sleep be sleep?
Motos sleep at least can be set to a schedule unlike airplane mode.
Sleep function new to the Motorola line.

About getting more battery life by causing Android to sleep so the apps and such would not run but the phone would still work. Sounds like they got it to work but forgot to explain what it does to the owners.
