Is there a way to turn off WLAN, just like you'd turn off bluetooth?

Yes, offline mode... or you can disconnect from WLAN and tell the phone not to reconnect without asking.

You can access the WLAN options from the status bar:

That's what I told you. Disconnecting WLAN and setting the options up so that it doesn't reconnect when it finds WLAN will keep it offline and keep BT and phone working.

does not connect is not the same as "off". The radio is still on but just not using the connection. it's still listening (sucking power).

It's not listening if you don't have it set to automatically search for available Access Points.

WLAN is still on and available WLAN networks are displayed when Always ask is selected in Internet Connections -> Connect automatically






So is there option to turn WLAN off?
