No - because doing so would contradict melachah, the prohibition against carrying out deliberate activity during Shabbat, which includes a law against carrying any item from a private place into a public place or for any distance further than four cubits within the public place. It is possible to get around this prohibition by establishing an eruv, a legal aggregation of land property within a chatzer (literally "walled courtyard"). Rabbinical discussion has ruled that a chatzer can be defined not just as walled courtyard but any area that can be enclosed within a continuous wall or fence - this can be made up just not of the walls of exiting properties but also by wire used to symbolise walls, including utility wires such as electricity and telephone cables. As such, it is very easy to declare the urban areas within which many Jews live to be eruvim, allowing the Jews who live within the boundaries to transport items such as baby carriages, disabled wheelchairs and umbrellas out of their homes.

What is shabbat in Jewish religion?
The Jewish sabbath begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday. It is practiced because it is one of the commandments given by God to the Jews in the Torah. The Torah is the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Dueteronomy) which traditional Jews believe were given directly from God to Moses. The Sabbath (shabbat in Hebrew) is mentioned in numerous places in the Torah -- in Genesis, Exodus, and Dueteronmy the Jews are commanded to "remember the sabbath day and keep it holy ... six days shall you labor and do all of your work but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God, you shall not do any work ..." The Sabbath is a reminder of the creation story in the Bible -- God worked for six days to create the world and rested on the seventh. To remember this, Jews also rest completely on the seventh day. Traditional Judaism contains a legal system called halacha. This legal system defined the word "work" (melacha in Hebrew) in a very broad way. 39 different types of labor are forbidden on the sabbath -- everything from pruning to lighting a fire to writing to cooking. Orthodox Jews maintain these rules quite strictly. As new technology is introduced, there are many discussions about whether it violates one of the 39 categories of labor and whether the technology can be used on shabbat. Orthodox Jews do not drive, use electricity or phones, go to work, write, touch or use money from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. It is a day of complete rest -- people go to synagogue, pray, eat meals that were prepared before the sabbath, meet with friends, study religious topics, sing, sleep, take walks and similar activities. In modern times, liberal Jews understand the idea of shabbat as a time for rest and reflection but they do not necessarily follow all of the rules above. This is one of the main dividing lines between Orthodox Judaism and more liberal forms of Judaism. Keeping shabbat strictly (being shomer shabbat) is one of the signs of being an Orthodox Jew.
What is the sabbath mode?
Observant Jews prepare all the food for the Sabbath on Friday before sunset, then store it for sabbath consumption. Judaism forbids initiating cooking on the Sabbath, but using the Sabbath Cooking mode, you can use the oven to keep food hot from Friday to Saturday. Also, it shuts off the light that turns on when you open the oven, as Judaism also forbids initiating or ending an electric current on the Sabbath.

Can the orthodox Jew use electronic on Saturday?
Orthodox Jews generally refrain from using electronics on Shabbat, which begins at sundown on Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday.

Some Orthodox Jews may use certain pre-set devices that are permissible according to Jewish law.
