Have you tried blocking mode? I believe that can do what you're looking for. If that doesn't work you can also look into Tasker, though that's far more complex.

 

Looking in the Playstore, I found an app that claims to do it on a time basis, but the phone needs to be rooted.

Saw another one and was about to suggest it, then saw in the reviews that all it did was give one a reminder to go into airplane mode at certain times.

Other than that, just saw a bunch of widget like toggle apps.

I haven't used it in a long time, but something like JuiceDefender might shut your phone down enough for you in your desired timeframe, if not truly going to AP mode.

 

I don't think there's a way to get Airplane mode to activate on a schedule/timer (w/ exception to Tasker).

Only other alternative I can suggest (besides the top notifications or the power button, where you can toggle airplane mode) is to get the NFC tiles. I'd imagine you'd be able to program a tag, just to toggle Airplane mode on/off. If you program a tag, you can just place that on your nightstand somewhere and that way you can just touch your phone to the tag and leave it. Then, when you wake up, just touch the phone to it again and you can turn Airplane mode off.

OP
Please explain the "radios" needing to be turned off.
I'm using the blocking mode for everything but those on my favorite list and alarms. My phone has not gone off in the middle of the night yet.
I guess you could just power it down when you crash.

 

Just realized the app that Mike recommended, in the video I linked, isn't just a simple NFC app, but a simplified version of what Tasker does. Even though I had purchased Tasker, I just haven't had the time to sit down and truly figure out the best way to make it work for me

For a long time, I had been using an app called quick profile, to perform switching on/off toggles, but Trigger does seem to be an app that you should give a shot, even if you don't have NFC tags.

 

Another member suggested it, but I would really check out Tasker, we have a forum for it here: Tasker - Android Forums

 

Honestly, I think there are some guides about Tasker, I am not trying to praise the application or get on your nerves for still suggesting it, but people will help you there if you don't know how to use it

 

That app that I suggest 2 posts up can be triggered based on time. It doesn't require NFC tags.

The reason it worked on the Maxx HD is because Motorola has a built in function called "Smart Actions." That's not a standard Google software. That's Motorola's proprietary software (I know they are owned by Google, but "smart actions" is only on the Motorola phones).

 

Okay, but if your goal is to have it turn off all the sounds/notifications, that can still be accomplished.

 

Are you really worried about battery? I have to try really hard to kill my GN3 battery. In fact...I've yet to kill it during normal use.

Also, not to sound like a jerk, but if you don't have time to learn Tasker, even though several of us mentioned it might work, then maybe you should re-evaluate what you actually care about. Maybe you do not have the time or inclination to learn Tasker, but then maybe you should stop worrying about automatically preserve battery life on a phone with one of the largest stock batteries available. Besides, you can always fall back to manual control if you can't be bothered to learn how to automate a task. You'll eventually waste more time doing it manually, but that ROI might be far enough out that it's not worth it to learn how to automate it.

 

Just ignore him. Download Smart Profiles from Google Play. It does exactly what you want (and much more) and you don't need to root the phone. I use it and it works for me. Free app too. You'll thank me after you use it for a few days! LOL

 

Oh, if you're worried about the battery:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.batrsaver

I use that every night. Got to sleep at 100%, wake up at 92%. I use it in conjunction with power save mode and blocking mode.

-EDIT- Nevermind. Just saw your response that you don't like battery saver apps. Oh well. Sorry, tried my best to help, but not sure what else I can recommend.

 

Smart Profiles looks good, but 4+ users complain in the latest version that adjusting Airplane Mode doesn't work.
