Doesnt sleep mode inhibit all phone signal communications?
That was the whole purpose.

I keep mine (iphone 5) in sleep much of the day when I wont use it.

If it cant transmit or receive it cant be remotely turned on.

My understanding has been that the battery has to be removed to end all radio transmissions, short of the barrier method they are suggesting.

Doesnt sleep airplane mode inhibit all phone signal communications?

As far as I can tell my phone never turns off completely but many battery reg apps allow you to shutdown any app.

Not necessarily, although that is what we are being told. I have detected radio signals from my phone while in sleep mode (in a lab, of course). Not even removing the battery will interrupt all potential for transmission and / or recording, as there are small batteries on the boards themselves.

They can listen through your cell phone unless you’ve taken the battery out. The phone being on/off or in sleep mode is controlled through software.

Who knows? The inner workings are a black box over which most users have no control.
