Hi all,
Is it at all possible to cofigure the Diamond to wake up automatically from the 'Shut Down' condition. I sometimes need to be able to shut down my device overnight for battery reasons, but if i do so the alarm doesn't go off in the morning (until i manually switch the phone on), which is quite a big annoyance to me. My previous phone a Sony Ericsson had this functionality but it never crossed my mind that the Diamond might not.
I've noticed that on some of the config tools about there are settings for wake on new SMS so would i be right to think that it is possible???
For Information i am using the Klaxon alarm program.
I really hope this is possible!!!!
Thanks
Steve
When you switch the phone off, it actually turns completely off. This means no applications are running at all. It's just like if you switch a PC off, the entire operating system is off.
If you want to save battery power, I suggest you just switch Flight Mode on, this will conserve the battery for more than long enough.
That's what i thought, feared. Flight mode it is then.
Thanks
PhoneAlarm from PocketMax software is doing this
I don't think the phone is ever "completely" off, as the internal clock is still ticking so that the time is correct when you power your phone back on
Ive always loved Nokias for that reason, as they switch the phone on for alarm, and from silent profile etc...
Im sure if Nokia could do it, they shouldnt be any reason why Windows mobile device couldnt
Phone alarm can't turn the device on from a powered off state (as stated due to windows mobile) but it has options for "wake" on alarm and you can schedule a profile that will automatically put it in flight mode during certain hours.
Why not just plug it in while you sleep? That's the only time I charge my Diamond unless it's a heavy use day.

Hello,
I'm going to be an s730 owner but I have a question; I want to switch off the device every night in order to save battery energy and not to bother me with incoming calls. But I also want to use it as an alarm clock. As I read somewhere, windows mobile devices can't use alarm clocks when they are switch off, right? If so, what's the solution to that?
Thanks in advance.
Yeah, it's correct. When phone is switched off, it's dead. You can save battery overnight turning on flight mode..
Don't Forget has an option to switch modes at specified times, so you could get your phone to be in Flight mode overnight and still have the alarm sound.

Thanx for your information, guys!
Hello
The battery life of the HTC Touch Diamond is quite short. I want the phone to automatically turn off at night, because I don't use it.
So I want it to automatically turn off and then on at specific times.
Is there any way to do this?
Turning it off shouldn't be a problem. Turning it on is harder.
Thanx.
maybe you can just plug in the charger at night? then you can have full battery in the morning and people can still call if there is an emergancy.
It will not be possible to turn on the phone automatically, unless you make some kind of external device that will push the button for you?
SKSchema or PhoneWeaver can do this, but both are not freeware.
SKschema use scripts and you can do a lot of things like a softreset every day etc. etc., also turn off and turn on phone.
PhoneWeaver is a phone profile software, which use manual and/or time scheduled profiles.
Maybe there some similar software also as freeware, but I don't know, because of using these two above.
Im sure once the phone is off there is no way of turning it back on unless by physical input. Once the phone is off ALL processes die.
I used to use this freeware application on my Trinity with WM6.1

I haven't tested on Diamond but I would imagine the function to switch on/off phone should still work. Highly unlikely the notification settings will function though.
i tried SPB Phone Suite to switch profiles but that didn't work too well
It's best to just remember to do it... cos the battery really drains if it stays on all night... mine went from full at 1:30 am to +/- 20% this morning (10:00) with minimum backlight on all night, and GSM phone on... bad, i know

Why do you leave the backlight on?!
If you let your phone go in the sleep mode it will only uses 12mA.
It will only use 10% per night (if you sleep 7,5h).

what he said
other than that, charge at night?
Try this :

It doesn't really switch off your phone but places it into flight mode. When I use this, my battery will only get discharged by 0-1% in the morning.

In this new generation of Smart Phones the battery is very important to us.
So we need to sony develop this option to save battery and to put alarm ringing ON even phone do without battery.
Any chance to put this Great Features on our Xperia Z?

May be you can schedule an power off with Tasker or similar with script or something, but I don't think you can do a power on as the phone is totally off and there isn't anything that a phone can relay on to wake it up.
Remember, it's Linux underneath not an Nokia S40/60
There are good apps available which can put your Phone in scheduled airplane mode. So you'll lose not even 1 percent in 10 hours. Search in the playstore for auto airplane mode

Yes but old nokia do that, alarm clock rings even phone is power off!! Alot of technology and not do a great function of the old cell phones!!! Hehehe all chiniese androi phones do that!! Hehehe example thl w5!!!
I know where the OP is coming from with this one, I would love the option to power on and off automatically. There must be a way to do it, I mean come on, my laptop can turn itself on and off at 1am when it does its weekly de-fragmentation. I actually watched it, turned itself on, ran some stuff, turned itself off.
I've got a tablet in for review that has a scheduled on/off section in settings, so it certainly could be done.

Must be a sleep or hibernate kind of situation. How is it possible when the power is completely off?
i think is completely off but, RTC (( A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time. Although the term often refers to the devices in personal computers, servers and embedded systems, RTCs are present in almost any electronic device which needs to keep accurate time. )) turn on the phone and alarm ring with one "low level system" like old nokia!!!
I saw that on a zopo phone... so it's not impossible!

Think about it, It can't ever be totally off or it wouldn't know what the time was when you turned it off. Leave an Xperia Z fully charged in a draw for a year...the battery will be dead. Because something is live, it has to or it wouldn't do jack when you press the on button, something must be live to recognise the input at the very least.
I've done some tests and my girlfreinds old Razr V3i could sit in the draw for 6 weeks from full to dead. Whilst there is battery it remembers time and date, once the battery died it lost track.
Oh please come on... Any cheap 4ss chinese android phone has this feature, and my uber-expensive Sony Z3 does not. How is this reasonable in this day and age???
Coming from a cheap phone to this Z3 this was one of the first features I looked for in my initial unboxing configuration. Nowhere to be found. Not acceptable, I say.
If a phone that costs 100 bucks can do something that is useful and very reasonable, a 600 bucks phone from a world wide corporation should do to.

Any update on this feature? I switch from Xiaomi Mi5 to Sony XA1 plus and deadly miss this feature.
Hi!
Having troubles with a 520 because once it enters the deep sleep state, it'll start getting Whatsapp notifications only when waking it up.
No battery saving setting is turned on.
An APP that wakes the device from time to time would help.
Thanks.
Perhaps you either have cellular data turned off, have no data signal, or are set to only receive notifications over WiFi? By default, WP turns off WiFi when the screen is off and the phone isn't plugged in. I think there might be an option to change that, but I don't recall where it would be.
There are definitely apps that will cause WiFi to stay on in the background (I think pretty much any streaming music app does this?), but those will wreck the battery life if you just leave them on all day. Apps are also able to periodically (~every 30 minutes) do some stuff in the background even in the phone is sleeping, but I'm not sure if this is allowed to wake up the WiFi and cause it to connect.
If the problem isn't WiFi instead of cellular data, I really don't know what's going on.
Thanks! Read here if you're still interested:

Hi..
is there a way to automate airplane mode on our watch between 9pm until 6am ?
Are you wanting your phone to be airplane mode or just your watch?
I use Sony Smart Connect for my phone. No idea if it could handle an action on the watch...

just my watch ... the idea is to conserve battery usage at night ..
You could use tasker like i have to switch the screen to off(on the watch) and then switch Bluetooth of from the time you require until a set time in the morning that will turn Bluetooth back on and screen back to always on.

I've consider that .. but although turning-off bluetooth in the phone will stop notification, it'll actually drain the watch because it'll keep trying to connect to the phone ..

Don't bother. You won't gain mych by enabling Airplane mode. What drains battery most is the display (of course depending heavily on your watchface - my ambient mode has just 2 lines of very thin and small text, and it drains next to nothing).
I think what you're looking for is the Cinema mode - just tap the crown twice before going to bed, and twice after you wake up.
Sadly, this mode is incompatible with alarms (on watch) since they are completely silenced as well (including vibrations), but if you use alarm on the phone then you're fine.
... Or you could just disable ambient mode every night, but that's inconvenient.
