Any one know of a program that can automatically turn off my internet, location settings from set times??
The reason I ask is because in the night I don't need weather updates, emails or the phone to be stay connected (t-mobile UK) and so I manually turn it off. Thus it will save a lot of battery and will not interrupt my sleep
If there was a program that could turn off at say 1am and then on again at 9am that would be perfect.
Is this possible or am I clutching at straws??
There's a simple solution of switching on Airplane mode in the Comm Manager before you go to bed and back on in the morning. That's all I do. Not sure if there's a program to do it automatically, but this way only takes a couple of seconds each day.
Hope I've helped!
Theres an app called GAlarm (it cost 4.99 euros i think but you can download trial) which when you set your alarm at night you can turn airplane mode on and when you turn the alarm off in the morning it will automatically turn the airplane mode off.
Thanks for the suggestion guys.
The problem with that is that I didn't want to put it into airplane mode just in case someone calls my late at night, some sort of emergency???
But sometimes I get emails late at night (because of people in different time zones) and so I wouldn't like to be woken by that. A phone call I wouldnt mind.
You have to install GProfile. I think it's free. Ask Google (xor bing ).
SBSH do PhoneWeaver and SPB software do Phone Suite both of which can do all you ask (and more)

Hello all!
I wonder if its possible to have an alarm on the phone when turned of. Ive searched everywhere for some answers.
I want to shut down the phone at nights and I want the phone to start up and wake me up hehe
I just tried it 2 times , and it doesn't seem to work with klaxon.
Sorry mate i think you should keep it on if you don't want to be late tomorow
Its hilarious that a phone this new doesnt support that kind of alarm. All of my other phones works that way....
It's not a phone, it's a smartphone, pretty much a small PC...
So if you poweroff your desktop, usually not much it can do
That's the same, workaround is to use PlaneMode (along WirelessTime freeware in example)
This way, it wont be off at all..
Like for PDA, you usually never power off this kind of system. You put it in standby mode instead (either automatically or manually)
And the alarm works well with the HD is in stanby mode. It will wake up and ring.
Note that the usual phone are in some kind of standby mode, not fully powered off otherwise the alarm wouldn't work either !
you can switch off the phone part in standby mode and it will give you busy signal though reminders and alarms will work.
Hi, has someone developed a way to sound the alarm when the phone is off?? I saw somehere that you need to program the alarm in the BIOS.
I really hate to call these 'smartphones' when a basic phone would do that!! Alarm clocks are a passe anyways!
Flight mode is the way.
It is useless to switch off the phone...in flight mode the battery has almost no drains (1% at most).

That's because when you switch the phone off IT IS OFF.
A Nokia, say, doesn't switch off - it goes into flight mode and switches the screen off.
If you notice a Nokia phone loses battery power even when swithed off because in fact it is still on. That's why the alarms go off
Therefor: Switch to flightmode and turn the screen off = same result - but smarter !!!!
Why then there is a 'Flight mode' option in Nokia as well? Cant seem to understand this??

It's a feature Nokia added so people could turn the phone signals off manually in situations where it was unwanted. On planes for example.
You could try this
Ageye G-Alarm, is isn't free but claims to
"Save battery power overnight
Using the integrated flight mode you can turn off the phone and therefore minimize the battery drain until the next alarm. Afterwards G-Alarm automatically turns your phone on again."
Same thing, but might do it automatically, but its too much for me, I don't need all the functions so haven't tried it.
Thanks! But would not want to use two third party apps just for the alarm! Looks like I might need to get back to my old & trusted alarm clock or use my other Nokia phone!

Which two 3rd party apps are involved in using flight mode? (by my count none are used)
You can even configure a long hold of the hang-up button to enable it if you want in button config...

In Flight mode, you can still use your phone in "off-line" mode, you can even use WiFi... so saying that turned off Nokia is actually still ON - only in flight mode - can only say someone who doesn't have a clue what is going on inside the phones. Turning Symbian phones OFF/ON means soft reset, does turning Flight mode ON/Off means soft reset in any phone? Of course not.
Take your laptop - there is power save mode, sleep mode and hibernation. But OS (say Windows) is still running, even it is on the lowest possible level, so a few external inputs (keyboard, mouse, modem), most of them you can specify in Bios, can bring the system from stanby or even hybernation mode. When you turn off your Nokia, operating system (Symbian and Maemo too) is completely off. But the internal clock chip is still running, althoug only on cca 1/100th of clock rate. When you turn phone off, the info from the alarm clock is written to this chip, telling him after how many those slow cycles he suppose to wake up (if there is anough power from the battery left). Would be easy to implement this to any phone hardware, HTC, Sony ... they'll just have to run something else than Win OS. So blame the Microsoft - but go easy on them - it's relict from the old ages of PDA, when Windows and phones were two totaly different things. Whatever I wrote is not a 100% accurate, but I was trying to make it simple and uderstandable. BTW any phone (HTC also) is loosing battery capacity when is OFF. Actually, take the battery out and it will still loosing power, after some time in even more (in hot and humid conditions) than when you leave it in the deep level stage inside the Nokia.
Hi all,
I have discovered an annoying bug on my HD2 when I got off a plane the other day and pushed the 'Airplane Mode - Resume wireless connections' - all that happened was that my Wifi turned itself on (it was off before the flight) and the phone itself stayed in off-line mode.
I rebooted the phone several times to no avail, every time all that happened was that the WiFi would activate every time I tried to deactivate the Airplane mode. When I deactivated the WiFi it went back into Airplane mode!
The only solution I found was to go to All settings - Personal - Phone then use the WM confirmation pop up screen to activate the phone. It seems the sense UI has a nasty bug there.
Hope this helps someone
I have a similar problem on my hd2:
Over night i let go my device into airplane mode (night-profile) with phone weaver 2.0 -- phone off, all connections off
The next morning i let go my phone into the day-profile and automatic enter my pin. But sometimes my phone connection can´t be activated - not with phone weaver and even not with the commanger in sense.
I have ti softreset my device - then it´s working again.
Is this a driver related problem? I had this issue with radio-rom 2.04, 2.05 and 2.07. Also with stock-rom 1.48 and custom-rom 1.66.
Basically,
I'm trying to limit my battery usage and I find alot of it is down to sync'ing of stuff such as emails, facebook widget, twitter widget and constantly having my hsdpa/3g switched on.
I am using Tasker to manipulate alot of what i do daily such as profiles for when im at work Mon-Fri - Silent my phone etc.
What I am interested in doing is turning off 3g/hsdpa and having it only periodically switch on just to run a data sync for all my apps and then deactivate after say 5 minutes after hour.
I have a profile setup to activate it when I launch the applications individually but I want something to automatically poll my email, sync my facebook/twitter widget and my accounts and then switch back off again.
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions please?
Cheers.
I use automateit from the market to reset the brightness when I come out of the camera,think you can do some advanced stuff with it,may be of use?
Hi bombadier
Cheers for the reply, Tasker does all that in a similar fashion the problem I have is I don't know whats times the widgets attempt to refresh at or my emails poll at they just have the option to set the interval at 30 minutes / 1 hour etc.
I want to know does it mean 30 minutes based on my system clock so 13.30? or 30 minutes from when I choose the option i.e I chose it at 13.36 so it polls at 14.06? 30 minutes later.
Basically I just need to either find a way of turning all my syncing/polling off and an app to force do it ALL for me that I can set to launch using Tasker at a specific time, or need to find the timing so I can turn my 3G on for that period and then back off again.
I would think it takes the time off the time at setting,If you could turn on autosync that would get everything to sync then somehow disable autosync and 3g?
I think juice defender pro does what your looking for
I use timeout-3g
I use an app called timeout-3g which turns off the internet connection 10 min (configurable) after the screen goes off. When the screen comes on it turns the data connection back on again. Also the internet connection is turned on once an hour for 5 min if the screen is off that long. If you purchase the app (which I did) you get more options.
Try it out.
Now I cant be the only want who would want this.
I live in the NYC area and I like to turn on airplane mode when I go into the subway, so I tend to turn it on and off 4 times a day. I also tried to set up a tasker profile to turn on airplane mode at a certain time at night, but because of this confirmation dialog this cant be done. So is there a way to turn off this confirmation.

This would be awesome. I use Airplane mode for a different reason.... areas around me (like a 20min or so drive) have LTE but not *officially* yet so it is a little flaky... and I use Airplane mode to toggle on and off really quick and it switches me to 4G LTE that isn't even officially turned on in the area!
