I know, it's a bit confusing, but a smartphone has several radios, they are:

1. phone,
2. wifi,
3. wimax (in the case of Sprint 4G phones),
4. LTE 4G (in phones that have LTE)
5. Bluetooth,
6. GPS (reciever only).

A tablet my or may not have some or all of those, but I don't know of any that doesn't have at least the wifi.
No, WIFI is a different item on the list. I have a wifi-only Flyer. And I didn't have that Radio Standby in my list (even when I was on GB). Bluetooth and GPS have been turned off.
