I don't know what I've done but my phone is in airplane mode and when I hold down the power button and select it to make my phone normal again nothing happens. I need to get in contact with someone as I'm worried about their safety so this is a complete disaster.

I just don't know what to do as airplane mode will not turn off no matter what I do, can someone please help!

Hello, there may be a simple answer, like maybe the hotspot needs to be turned off, etc, but, I read you got this as a replacement phone? Before it gets too much further along, I'd take it back again and ask them to either show you how to make it work or replace it too! :)

I hope you get it straightened out!

That happens to my on my Hauwaei, and the only solution is to do a factory data reset, and reinstall everything again. When airplane mode gets turned on like that, even GPS is turned off, which is annoying because I need that to point my telescope to watever object I want to view in the sky.

I have a Android 5.1 its saying it is in airplane mode when airplane mode is off. I cant call anyone or text. An i just payed my bill so that cant be the reason. I have a 2 month old an we have to take her to Syracuse to see a surgeon. so it is important that i have my phone so i can get calls or i can call people. An because of airplane mode it says i have no service. It works every now an then but don't last long. HELP PLEASE!!!!!
