This is the reason you should activated airplane mode in flight
News24xx.com - Quoted from The Telegraph, the general assumption in circulation is that passengers must deactivate their cell phones because the signals emitted can interfere with navigation instruments and can cause interference. Patrick Smith, US pilot and writer of Cockpit Confidential, revealed his agreement to the rules for turning off cellphones as soon as they boarded the plane. "Could the device interfere with the flight? It depends on the gadget and how and when the gadget is used" he said.

For example a laptop, Smith said the old computer can emit dangerous signal. The greater risk caused is to cause flight signal to be interfered. The potential for cellphones to be disrupted is not only when it is being used, but also when the cellphone is not active, which is why flight mode must be activated even if passengers do not intend to use their cellphones.
However, Smith argued that although there is a clear request at the beginning of each flight to turn off the cellphone, there are still people who did not listen. In Indonesia alone, various rules have enacted to ban the use of cellphones in airplane. One of them is issued through the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Communication which prohibited the use of electronic goods in airplane.
One of the regulations is written in Law Number 1 of 2009 concerning Aviation article 54 paragraph f. "Everyone on an airplane during a flight is prohibited from operating electronic equipment that interferes with flight navigation." write the regulation.
