Hi guys, I have just jumped over from samsung to HTC
Imported my Tasker settings over as well.
One of my "tasks" is not working properly.
I have one task that Turns off Data+Wifi from 2300 to 0800. Without Exit task.
However, with HTC sleep mode, i check data consumption over night, it seems that data is still being turned on once a while at night.
Is there a conflict between taskeer and sleep mode?

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.

Hi,
Every night I enable flight mode on my Note (Stock ICS 4.03, XXLPY) to effectively shut down my phone, thus GSM/3G/Wifi/Bluetooth are all turned off according to the status buttons on the drop-down status buttons.
However, every morning I find my phone with notifications of new email that has been received during the night. It is possible to read these messages without disabling flight mode.
How is this possible? Flight mode should disable all wireless data transfer shouldn't it?
I'm currently using Nik's Codename Jellybean ROM and am getting excellent battery life for the last week or so. I have used the kernel that has come along with it.
However, yesterday when I went out - I turned on GPS (turned on for a short period and then off) for the first time since flashing the ROM and since then, the GPSLocationProvider has been providing partial wakelocks every second whenever the phone is not on airplane mode and preventing deep sleep, killing my battery in the process.
I have attached a screenshot from BetterBatteryStats.
I have looked about in the forum and the only solution from a couple of old threads seem to be rebooting the phone so that the phone can go back into deep sleep mode, which is really not the best solution is it?
If there is any solution or a compatible kernel that prevents this, I'm happy to hear from you.
It may also due to your Google location services which is active. Take the dump again with all location, GPS turned off!!
Edit: Location wake lock dump shows its active for long time. Seems like its due to location service not GPS, which you turned on only for a short duration.
Cool - that may help isolate the problem. I will toggle Maps, Location Services, GPS and see what is causing the issue.
Many thanks
Happens to me also on other ROM and device. But only if i start some app, which is using GPS, but its not enabled yet.
In case I enable GPS, than start the app, use it, close app, disable GPS, then GpsLocationProvider is not running in background.
Hi everyone,
I'm having a strange problem with my auto sync for my accounts: it seems to turn off randomly. I sometimes use the power saving mode, but when I check it, it does not, at least immediately, turn off auto sync. It's possible that it turns off auto sync if the batty gets low, but maybe it doesn't turn it back on? I also have sleep mode (I.e. "turn off data connections during long periods of activity") checked. It's very frustrating because I never know if its on or off without checking settings. So I end up missing emails which is kind of annoying.
bumping this up. Thought this may just be the result of the "power saver" feature, but it still happened when I turned my phone off overnight. Woke up, powered phone on, and auto sync was off
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.
