Hello,
sorry for my English, but I want to know if anyone knows a program that makes the phone alarm on my HD2 even when turned off.
Alternatively there is a program to turn the phone at a certain time?
thanks
due to hardware limitation, once you turned the phone completed off, there is absolutely no method to wake it up on alarms, it is similar to unplug the power of your computer, then no programs will be able to operate
ok, thank you csabill.
Hi
I'm looking at this app G-Alarm from ageye.de don't know if is what you need it turns the mobile into flight mode during the night and after the alarm goes off it changes the profile back, at least that's what it says, might try it later.

This works i have it. It only turns off the transmitter which saves some power but the phone isnt off. Its also handy to stop being disturbed by your phone going off. You just have to remember to engage flight mode when you go to bed.

I have a windows mobile programming question:
I'm trying to write an application that will turn the phone to vibrate during a specific time of the day (when I'm at work). The problem I have is that when the phone goes to sleep my app apparently goes to sleep also. So my timer doesn't keep ticking to check if it is time to go to vibrate. Is there a way to keep my application running while the phone is in sleep mode so that the timer tick event is still called?
I would really appreciate any help, this is my first windows mobile app and don't know the intricacies of coding for windows mobile.
You may try the Unattended Mode...

imho, it's better to use the notification queue than have an application run in the background.

That's pretty much exactly what I'm doing. Though mine has a more graphical UI and is more touch friendly. I've finished everything except that when the phone falls asleep my timer event is not called to change the volume setting.

I'm a little confused by that article. Do I catch the event that the phone is falling asleep and then set it to unattended mode? Or is it that I would set it to unattended mode, and whenever the phone is supposed to fall asleep instead it goes to unattended mode?
Hi to all, is there a way to switch on the HD2 at a desidered time?
I mean: from the phone totally switched off is there some software or mod that makes it auto-turning on?
So battery life could be extended instead of keeping it turned on during the night only for make the alarm clock ring...
On my nokia it was possible make it to turn on automatically and make the alarm ring, I think it's strange that this cannot be done on the HD2...
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my english, I hope you understood anyway
bye
Try CT Scheduler. However, if anyone else here has any idea about other programs that can do this, let me know.
I'm looking for something that does something like this:
1. Turn on phone every 15 minutes
2. Leave it on for 2 minutes (so that calls/text messages can arrive)
3. Turn off the phone
Repeat.
Try G-Alarm
Not to sure if it have the wake up function.
SKSchema is simply the best.
You can schedule what you want on your PDA and it runs great on HD2.

I think this is technicaly not possible because when the phone is off it is not possible to run software.
If you desire it to consume the lowest possible amout of power you may put the phone into flight mode and ensure no background apps are still running.
Some software such as Galarm will turn the phone into flight mode over night and dissable flight mode in the morning with the alarm.
I use phonealarm,
at night I set my phone to automatically switch to flight mode, so that I receive no calls, messages etc, and it uses virtually no battery power, but the alarm still goes off in the morning, and my phone automatically switches back on
Hi all.
I would like to know if there is an app to switch on/off your windows phone automatically. I miss it when i changed from Blackberry to WP. For example i often forget to switch off my phone at night so this app would be very useful for me.
Thanks

I guess it is not a problem to write the aplication witch is able to turn of your phone. But how the hell could aplication turn ON the phone back, if it is tourtned off. For example try to turn on your PC with some kind of application. I guess you get the point.
Of course i get it, even if i'm not a developer. It would be great to have just an auto-switching off app. However, don't know how, blackberry has got it.
I would be really pleased if someone wrote this app to switch off the phone.
thanks again
I actually don't think blackberries turn off completely until the battery is either completely dead or removed. I know when a blackberry is "off" it still has the ability to turn back on when an alarm is going off so I would assume that it just goes into a low power standby state. However, when you turn off Windows Phone, it's off.
This should be posted @ [email protected] section.
I didn't do that because i must write 10 post before writing in that section
Actually, my PC will turn on at a given time, but I don't believe these phones can do the same. Also, if it does turn off at a certain time, you would not be able to have it plugged into a charger. When WP is plugged in, it automatically turns on. I believe that's a hardware design.
Reboot App Perhaps???
I DONT KNOW ABOUT A SHUT DOWN APP BUT HERE IS A REBOOT... PRE-MANGO
If you have pre-Mango (pre-7712+) you can use the attached .xap, its an app that was developed by someone here at the forums... I changed the icon for the start screen but that is all...
For shutdown, just hold the pwr button at this time... sorry... jejeje
I think what he's looking for (as I am) is a version of Phone Alarm or Pocket Phone Zen. They automatically turn things like WIFI, BT, Phone, etc. on or off at preset times. PA can also do that when plugged into a charger so BT will turn on when the phone's in the car holder for hands free. I haven't been able find anything in the Marketplace.
For restart phone on Mango try that app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333740
I use for shut off/on power button.
In Blackberry when you press the power button off it does not get really turned off. Its in sleep mode which actually just closes the user state but the kernel keeps ticking and thats the reason any app in background hooked to kernel can turn it on which is actually waking it up from sleep.
Moreover in sleep mode everything used to get shut off i.e call it airplane mode. So if somebody can make a WP app which can just turn on and turn off the airplane mode, it should work for you.
Have a look at Phone Alarm for WM 6.x It is able to do so much more. Things I would like to see in an app for WP7 are:
scheduled on/off of WIFI, BT, phone, GPS, data connection.
scheduled sync of email at longer intervals like every 6 hours (WP7 max is 2 -not everyone has a data flatrate.)
Scheduled and location based volume adjustment. (quiet at home, loud in the car, etc.)
BT, GPS auto-on if charging ("Car" profile if charging, see next point)
Profiles that can be changed with one click. (for example "Meeting" profile turns off sound, reduces display brightness, turns off WIFI, turns on BT etc.)
doesn't have to be cost free but does need to be bug free
Cheers
I would like to know if there is a possibility (maybe an app) to make it impossible for me to shut down / turn off my Android phone (in certain periods of the day). I want to not be able to turn off my phone.
(The reason behing it: In the morning every time the alarm goes off, instead of solving the math problem to turn it off, I turn off my phone and continue sleeping )

Wow. I thought I was a heavy sleeper, often hitting the snooze multiple times without actually waking up.
I can't imagine that there is a way to do this, without some sort of custom ROM that prevents shutting the phone off.
I'd suggest:
Putting the phone across the room so you have to get up to turn it off.
Getting an alarm clock and doing the same thing.
Getting one of the really annoying alarm clocks available at ThinkGeek.com that require you to find a part or do a puzzle to shut the alarm off.

I am trying to find out if there is a Night Mode for the SW2? I often spend nights away from home on business. I need to look at my watch during the night sometimes to check if it's time to catch an early flight. Is there anyway to switch on a Night Mode that stops the watch vibrating and stops the screen automatically lighting up with notifications?
I know I can turn off vibrate and bluetooth manually, but then I don't get notifications stored, and I have to remember to turn them back on when I want normal operation.
It would be nice to have Alarm notifications operate normally (light and vibrate), whilst other notifications come through, but don't light ot vibrate.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
Disable Bluetooth on the smartphone, it's easier.
You can set also a scheduled profile on the phone that at night turns off the Bluetooth and at morning turns it on.

Many thanks TMI. The simplest solutions are often the best
One more question please... Do I need an app for schedulng this (Blocking Mode doesn't seem to control Bluetooth). And, if so, does anyone recommend a simple app for scheduling bluetooth on/off?
Thank you.
There are many free profile scheduling apps on the Play Store
