how would I go about disabling the modem and nfc on my Oneplus 6T (SDM845) running Mobian? or postmarketOS, I go back and forth between them.

I mean power it off completely, the way “Airplane mode” works on Android, but still be able to use Wifi and BT.

rfkill doesn’t list it, lsusb/lspci don’t work over here. shutting down ModemManager service removes everything modem related but I want it powered down completely.

If it matters, I’m on Plasma Mobile currently, but I’ll switch back to a Phosh image.

    well, disabling ModemManager was a mistake, because that prevents you from using mmcli.

    with it, you can issue mmcli --modem=0 --set-power-state-off or mmcli --modem=0 --disable. nope, the latter puts it in a low-power state.

    there’s also --inhibit which seems to turn off the modem completely, it’s gone from mmcli. nope, that just removes it from the manager, it’s still running.

    will keep experimenting as to what each does.
