1. A mobile device comprising a user display and at least one processor configured to:
display a graphic control on the user display configured to move a movable element between a first position and a second position, and wherein a blocking element coupled to the movable element is configured to:
block propagation of a first protocol of wireless signal and allow propagation of a second protocol of wireless signal at an antenna of the mobile device when the movable element is in the first position; and
allow propagation of the first protocol of wireless signal and block propagation of the second protocol of wireless signal at the antenna when the movable element is in the second position;
receive a user interaction for actuating the graphic control via the user display; and
in response to actuation of the graphic control, cause the movable element to move between the first position and the second position.
