[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Engineer here. You should shut off or use airplane mode. Otherwise, your phone is going to constantly try to ping cellphone towers as you fly by them at 500mph and that's a huge battery drain (when doing an initial ping, it uses more battery power then once a connection is established). [/quote] +100 Unfortunately there's at least one poster here who seems insistent on perpetuating lies to the contrary. Airplane mode saves phone's battery life. [/quote] You are really quite dense. That is not the issue at all. The airlines/FAA do not have this "rule" in order to save travelers' battery life. There is a purported safety reason for the rule, but one that is quite obviously fabricated, with no real consequences for failure to comply (either to the plane or the traveler). That is what people mean when they say that it makes no difference. [/quote]
