Airplane Mode
#1
So I'm curious what you guys think Airplane Mode does, and how it works. Reading this site, it explains it as the following:

Quote:There are sometimes slight differences between devices in what Airplane Mode does, but the main thing it always does is disconnect your cellular voice and data connection.

Quick information share: I hate Windows 10 automatic updates, literally loathe them, so with my phone, whenever I get a notification to commence with an updated download, I immediately put my phone into Airplane Mode, then ensure my wifi and Bluetooth are both shut off so I can let my phone update when I'm not doing anything, preferably when I go to bed.

What I find very bizarre is the last three (3) times I've done this, I come back from whatever I'm doing to find my phone has already updated... Keep in mind I never hit the "CONTINUE" button to download the update, and am disconnected from cellular data, wifi, and Bluetooth in all three of these instances. The first time this happened, I tried to figure out how it occurred after doing more than a week doing research and came up with nothing... I won't count the first time because I can't be 100% certain I was completely "off the grid" in terms of data connection, but the next three times, I am absolutely 100% certain. The next three times I got the notification for an update to download, I made sure I was bereft of data connections, and yet each time my phone managed to download the update without my consent and supposedly without a connection. Does anybody have any idea what's going on here? Is there something in the TOS agreement on cell phones that says during an update, your phone will use whatever methods are available rather you've disabled them or not, rather you consent or not or receive an update? Are there any cell phones on the market nowadays that legitimately don't allow data? I find it very odd...
