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.

I mean when its physically 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.

Is the N1 suffering the same fate as iphone?
Can't we have an alarm when the N1 is off??
Even with an app from the market?
I heard this is a hardware thing, unfortunately
Why would you ever want to do this.? The alarms still ring while the phone is on silent if what you're worried about is texts and other notifications waking you up.
It's a phone, not an alarm clock. It can't just play sounds without the whole system up and running, just like you can't expect your computer to do the same. The phone would need an alarm function built into the real-time clock, with the ability to both boot the phone when triggered and write some kind of command to memory telling Android that it needs to play your alarm as soon as it finishes booting. That'd be one fancy and expensive RTC, which is why we don't have it. None of that is going to be provided by an app.
Shouldn't be expensive to do it. Many of my family's old phones (sony ericsson feature phones, and a few S40 and S60 Nokia phones) can wake up when the phone is powered off when the alarm goes off. Blackberries can do this also.

Protip: That is because they aren't actually powered off. They're in more of a deep sleep.
Android is far more advanced then any of those phones. It's basically a computer. It IS running Linux after all. When you shut it down, it's like flipped the power on your surge protector. The computer can't magically power itself on when out you turning the power back on.
I heard that Nokia S60 phones and the N900 have a separate battery for its internal clock. But I could be wrong. Let me look it up... when I have time...
I am using airplane mode + Desire sleep clock now, it's the closest thing to what I wanted...cut off gsm radiation near my head when sleeping and battery economy
Can you post a pic or screen capture of what the Desire sleep clock looks like?
Hi all,
Do you all have any app to recommend for this? I'm a bit dulled by this fact that the alarm won't switch the.phone on when it's off.

This is a feature that android does not support and I dont think any app could over ride it due to the way the operating system is built.I do miss this feature from my symbian phones
When the phone is off, Android is no longer running. The phone itself probably supports a wake from deep standby, but it would be Galaxy S specific, and not something supported by the Android SDK.
are there any other solutions to this? Well, if not, I guess I have to buy a digital alarm clock.
Is there any feature I could let my phone know I am going to sleep, pls don't alert me until the alarm wakes?

I would just turn of the notification sounds in the pulldown menu so that you are not disturbed in your sleep by emails. I have sync on (All google services), let wifi on and loose just 2% in a night on my battery power.
Do you have any task killers running?
If so make sure you exclude the 'Clock' App from the list otherwise the Alarm will not go off.
Basically you need the clock application running all the time to monitor not just the time but when the alarm is due to wake the phone from idle.
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.
I've googled and searched on xda but haven't been able to find much. So at night when I place my phone on the charger ask is good until it is completely charged.
The screen pops up telling me that I now have full charge and to disconnect charger. Bad thing is.....it doesn't go away..!!! Now I'm left with the screen lighting up the entire bedroom in the middle of the night.
Now this would bother me much but my girlfriend is now waking me err up in the middle of the night asking me to turn my screen off.
Please help!!!

Go into Settings>Developer Options (if you have it enabled) and look at the "Stay Awake" option. Make sure it is unchecked. If it is checked, the screen will stay on when it is plugged in unless you manually turn it off. I am guessing this is checked for you and is why the screen stays on.

Well it looks like I may have found a solution to my problem. Found an app called Batter Charged Silencer. Not in the Google play store. Will try it tonight and see what happens.

Found a solution! PLEASE READ IN FULL
Hey man. I have a Note 3 and have the same problem. As you've probably discovered by now, the Battery Charged Silencer app does not work for our newer devices. In searching for alternatives, I found apps that provide an alarm for when the battery is fully charged. This was NOT what I had wanted, as I just wanted my light to go off when charged, but I figured this the best alternative (hear the alarm, unplug). HOWEVER, I discovered that one app in specific DOES NOT WORK AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, and, because of this, my phone never lights up when fully charged!!! Go to the play store and get the free NEOADN FULL ALARM. I launched it once, disabled the notification bar selection because I didn't want that (so maybe do this just in case, and also leave the discharged amount option alone), picked a sound, and nothing mattered cause it never worked, never came on, and neither did my screen! One of the reviewers of this app said the app was crap cause it had to be launched each time to work. Maybe that's why it "works" for me, cause I activated it but then held my home button down and closed all apps (not thinking) and then realized it was a blessing! Just install, maybe configure how I said if needed, close your apps, and never worry about it again! (And don't ever update the app just in case they "fix" it). Hope this helps, let me know via email: [email protected]

Surprisingly the Batter Charged Silencer app did work for me. I've been good to go ever since. No more waking up to the girlfriend telling me to turn my phone off in the middle of the night
Until recently an alarm set in the ZTE Clock app would cause the phone to power up a couple of minutes before the alarm's due time, and then the alarm would sound.
A couple of times it didn't work and recently it hardly ever seems to work.
Are others experiencing this problem?
If you want it test it, it seems like the alarm must be at least 5 minutes in advance of the time you power off the phone, or it definitely won't work.

I have that problem with my new Axon, Android 7.1.1.
Ever solve the issue ?
Why not turning on airplane mode as a workaround?
The phone doesn't lose more than 1 percent battery on 8 h airplane mode.
Booting up the phone uses at least the same amount.
