I'd love to know this as well, my International S2 was never able to do this with the stock clock app which is a PITA.

Erm.... Just a thought.....excuse me for been so way out there with this but keep with me here.....
How about setting your alarm on your phone for 2 minutes from now.... then, wait for it.... switch your phone off and see what happens in 2 minutes?
lol, I don't own one yet. I'm still on the fence about buying one or maybe waiting to see what the mysterious XFON will be like if it ever comes out.

I've done that when my phone was in ICS 4.0.3 and even now on 4.0.4 and it doesn't work. I even did it again, as in just now and set it for 2 minutes but 5 minutes has passed and the phone doesn't alarm on. Yes, I'm still in ICS because I'm still waiting for the official push to JB in my country. :laugh:
Well I tried on I9500 and it does not work
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of turning the phone off?
If you need it to be off, instead,,turn off the radio (airplane mode).

I'm currently running cm7.02 nightly #94 with a color theme.
I can see that sometimes my phone doesn't sleep properly. There are periods of time 1-2 hours long when the phone is awake with the screen still off.
What is the quickest and the most efficient way to figure out which process is doing that?
Thanks.
Spare parts, download it click battery history and them partial wake lock or something. I'm not sure if it still works. It would force close on sense 2.3 don't know about asop

I like using Process Monitor Widget. Download it from the market. Open it up, then hit menu>record. keep the phone unplugged, turn the screen off, and let the phone sit for like 5-8 hours with Process Monitor Widget recording (preferably overnight). Then, stop recording, and hit analyze. It should be evident what is causing the wake lock.

Could you please explain in more detail?
I'm going to second and say use Spare parts, super easy and it will tell you what is keeping the phone awake.
Man best way to tell is to go to the menu and click on about phone all the way at th e bottom and check your battery there is a uptime and awake time if you are having wake issues both of these numbers will be the same even when the phone is off.
Been running synergy nightlys with latest OTA no wake issues for me.

Most of the time it's when WIFI is on it will keep phone awake I noticed this when it's off phone sleeps like a baby. Some apps can do this also but mostly WIFI seems to do it for me on some nightlys depends on the rom tho .

I have never suffered a Wi-Fi issue like that. Never once have my problems with awake time ever been that. Always is a bad app... Which Spare Parts will show you which is doing it specifically.

Sorry for the delay. When you have process monitor widget open, if you press menu, one of the options is record. Press that to start recording. Let it sit for a few hours, then go back into process monitor widget. When you press menu, you'll see it says recording. Press that to stop recording, then press the analyze button and review the results.

Every time I turn off my tablet, the next time I go to use it, it's already on.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this something that other people are experiencing?
Thanks!
Never experienced that
I don't know, My first N7 is faulty but not that bad, maybe your tablet is reading your mind and it turns on when your thinking about using it?
How are you turning it off? Tapping the power button only turns off display.

It's clearly haunted.
Or an app is waking it up to sync / find location / steal and transmit your data.
Have you tried running Avast ? Locking all the running apps ?

quite strange..
I don't believe apps can turn it on when it's off..so if you turn your N7 off, your alarm is disabled. at least, I'm pretty sure of that.
And, so you watch it turn off all the way? And later on it's on?
Is it plugged in to the charger?
Have you ever watched it for a little while [while you were doing something else, just glancing at it once in a while] to see if it just randomly turns on?

really? but how does that work?
that means the clock app must be able to control the rtc hardware, and tell it to power up at a certain time... I didn't know they'd done that on the N7...

Calendar -> Settings -> General Settings -> uncheck Notifications
It's a shot in the dark but who knows..
Or I suppose if you like you could disable calendar sync in Accounts & Sync, and then erase Calendar's data.
The circle one next(left) to my alarm clock. It only shows up flashing at lockscreen... It just started showing up in the last week. I have had an update... like 4.4.4 i think

Hi can someone on stock rom please try to see if alarms go off while phone is off? It don't seem to work on pure nexus which is worrying.
Do you mean when the phone's screen is off, when the phone is on silent, or if the phone is physically off?
If your phone's screen is off, the alarm will go off, if your phone is silent, your alarm will go off. If your phone is off, then it is off and the alarm will not go off.

My HTC M9 did it as Google implemented this in 4.0 or 5.0 not sure.
It was not a HTC feature.
What the .. How is the alarm supposed to go off of the phone is powered off and the OS is not running. You are indeed mistaken about this.

HTC devices don't truly turn off, they're in a kind of hibernate mode, similar to Windows 8. If you let the battery drain entirely on a HTC device it takes much longer to boot afterwards.

I think the above post explains it all for you. Nexus phones do not have such feature as your HTC did. When the phone is powered down it is as if the battery was pulled and it is truly off. No alarms will go off.
I had had fastboot turned off on my HTC so it did not hibernate.
Guess HTC found a way to do it. Never mind, need to make sure I always have enough charge for airplane mode and nights sleep.

Why do you need airplane mode? If doze works properly, then it shouldn't lose power quickly. But why not just charge the phone while you are sleeping and have your phone on silent if you don't want to be bothered?
Plenty of phones have this feature, but not on any Android I know of (I don't have an M9 but my M7 does not do this). My old Nokia E63 did it as well.
I wish more phones would have it though, as its great not having to worry about that one time your battery dies overnight and your alarm doesn't go off.

It used work on my Galaxy S3 & S4 as well. you need to have encryption disabled and password on start up disabled to make it work. I did not try that on my 6P, because my work forces me to encrypt my phone.
Alarm with phone off
My mate 9 has this feature. I set my alarm for whatever time. When I power my phone off there is a box that has a check mark in it saying keep alarm active after power off. If I leave the checkmark in my phone alarm will still ring at the desired time. Even though a phone is off there is still internal power to the clock. Works great. Hope this helps.
6P probably doesn't have the required H/W (and associated boot-loader).
Disabling encryption or setting File-based encryption or disabling pin to start will only help if the phone reboots itself.
so I installed zenmode on my 6t and turned it on. I am currently stuck in zen mode, i dont know how to turn it off. Please dont tell me i have to wipe everything to recover phones normal state.
If I remember right it should turn off after 20 minutes. How long has it been running?

you are right men !, I was just testing for 5 or 10 mins but was not able to do anything, aftrer a while I got a notification saying congratulations for not using your phone or something for 20 mins. So you yeah, your correct after 20 mins you can decide if you want to continue using zen mode or close it.

Yup....Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Forces you to put your phone down to concentrate on other things with no distractions. Not sure I would ever use it myself and it would just be another app on my phone taking up space. I just put my phone down or turn it off if I really need to do something...Simple concept really.

just curious question, will zen mode elliminate all apps and services that use the internet, if yes, i think the battery life might skyrocket.

From what I understand it disables everything but Camera and emergency calls.
you cant. You missing all the point of this app )))
I've tried Zen Mode this morning and found out it was unstable and bypass-able
- Notifications still come through to Ambient Display
- Can be bypassed if you use Oneplus Navigation Gesture. Just swipe it up and hold to access Recent App, and switch to another one. Alternatively, you can also access Recent Apps when the camera app is open. Launcher cannot be accessed though.
- You can even go as far as to Setting and force stop the Zen Mode app, but this does nothing; Zen mode is still on
- It loses count some times (timer freezes, although the countdown still going in background). Go to camera and go back may solve this
Well, that's why...
It's not stable on 6T yet.
If you have Google assistant enabled by holding down the power button, it will, at least in my experience, come up and you can tell it to open settings and disable it from there ??
