So, I abandoned my trusty flip phone a little over a year ago and am exploring the features of this mini hand- held computer that also sometimes functions as a phone- it is a low priced, entry level Samsung model.
I am a Luddite.
I recently acquired a set of wireless BlueTooth ear buds. I have linked them to the phone. The music and movies sound OK and I like the wireless feature.
The problem comes in the situation of wanting to use them on an airplane- when switching to "airplane mode" it disconnects the BlueTooth feature as well.
Is there a way to go wireless when watching a movie on a plane?

After you put the phone in airplane mode, turn the bluetooth and wireless back on individually. The only thing off will be the phone radio itself.
No problem operating this way.

Interesting. My iPhone, when put in airplane mode, does not turn off Bluetooth.

Blue tooth is RADIO.. Yes it's a rather special Radio in fact.. Invented some years ago by one Hedy Lamarr.. yes. that Hedy Lamarr.
Airplane mode turns off ALL RADIOS. Including blue tooth.
So it is working just exactly as it should.
If you wish to play music STORED on the phone.. Use a wired headset or earbuds.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

wa8yxm,
I love wired. However my cell phones no longer have an earphone jack. I can get an adapter--but it is one more item to loose.
I don't have blue tooth ear phones either. I may have an excuse to buy some noise cancellation ear phones as my existing ones no longer cancel.
Regards, Don

I did not type the name used copy/paste from a document
I was only 99% sure so I googled don't you know ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") .
or the person who said airplane mode does not disable his BT.. IT SHOULD.. if it does not something is wrong.
For the person who said an adapter is "one more thing to lose".
Not if you attach it to the earbuds. Bit of Glue and some string Glue string to adapter and to the earbud cord.. or.. alternative. glue cord to adapter (But that costs you a bit of cord).

Well I have BlueTooth enabled hearing Aids, and I can put my Samsung Android into Airplane mode and still listen to music that is stored on my phone. Should be the same for Ear Buds, but it may be Phone dependent, but my previous Motorola worked the same way as the Samsung.

joebedford was making a joke. That was a quote from a movie titled Blazing Saddles. Hedy Lamarr actually won a lawsuit against the producers of the movie for using her name.
