Hardware: disconnect from WiFi

Playdate hardware, Playdate OS version 1.12.3

Hi team,

Whilst away from my home network for long periods of time, I usually turn off WiFi to preserve battery on my phone. I decided to do the same on my playdate hardware, but when I go to the WiFi menu under the settings and click "disconnect" it didn't seem to do anything. There were no visual queues that it has disconnected or that it's done something else.

I eventually just decided to forget the network so that it's really not connected to anything, so now the WiFi menu shows that it's not configured. When I enter the menu now, the menu still shows the disconnect option?

So my question is if this is an actual bug? Does disconnect option do anything?

PS. The WiFi when connected does work, so no issues there :+1:

Ha, I'm about to fly for 12 hours and have the same question. How the heck do I go into airplane mode?

Just wanted to bump this post. This doesn't seem to have been resolved or acknowledged.

Can anyone chime in?

Wifi is completely off until it's requested (app updates, scoreboard posting, etc). However, there is no way to force it off at the moment.
