Are there any alarm clock apps that turn your phone on when the alarm starts? I turn my phone off at night and I don't know if the normal HTC alarm app turns the phone on...

I haven't come across a alarm clock that is able to turn on the phone.
My old sony ericsson phone is able to do that though, funny how the wildfire is not able to.
Do you mean turn on the screen or turn on the phone itself? If you mean turning on the phone, well, I've never seen a device which can turn on at a given time except macs. Maybe that's just me though... but even if it IS possible, I doubt an app would be allowed to do that. (unless you're rooted, and even then....)

All Nokia's, right down from the dumbphones with monocolour screens upto the latest ones, support this. (i.e., you set an alarm, switch off the phone, then, the alarm rings at the scheduled time and asks whether you want to switch on your phone or not.)
Its these little things that make me miss Nokia, but damn, they had to choose WP7 over Android. :/
Googling for this returns the general consensus that this feature is impossible on the Android. Wow. :/

Yeah Nokia functions are more complete as a personal device and phone but its their system that makes their phone lagging behind others.
I have been a Nokia fan for many years until my last phone X6 just couldn't satisfy my needs.

The only solution for now is to not turn off your phone. Put it in airplane mode instead/

Hey!
So I got the Mozart yesterday and I have some problems!
First of all my windows live id.
I connected with my Xbox ID and everything works fine, but in the settings it is always written attention required and updates do not work, but I can download and install apps from the marketplace.
Secondly my battery barley lasts a day WIFI and 3G connection turned off. It has been on today for 3 houres and already 10% is used?? It has only been on standby any things I forgot to turn off?
And did someone manage to get the HTC flashlight working, as it says the mozart is not supported, and does someone have that awesome notes app from HTC i cant seem to find it in the marketplace. THere is only something called lists??
Thanks in advance!
Hi.
I got my Mozart 3 days ago, but maybe I can give some answers.
HTC Notes: The easiest way is through Marketplace. Start Marketplace. On top of the list it says "HTC Apps". Tap on it, scroll down and there it is.
Or you start "HTC Hub". On bottom of first page it says "Weiter" or maybe "More". Tap on it. Do the same on next page. Under "Apps" sroll down and there it is. I prefer the first way.
Battery works fine for me. Starting in the morning at nearly 100% it goes down to about 50% in the evening. WLAN+BT turned of, 3G running the hole day. I have about 20 min. calltime and 30 min. internet. Mail download is set to 1 hour.
Update: Sorry, thought "Listen" was same as "Notes", but Notes seems not downloadable.
For battery life, don't keep push e-mail or GPS on.
battery life
and for best battery-life: turn phone off. I can't understand how feducing connectivity is accepted as the only way to keep a smartphone working throughout a single workday
The Battery Life is very good
I am seeing excellent battery life. A fully charged phone in the morning lets me run Wifi, Push email to my Exchange server, Positioning, Bluetooth and 3G all day with probably an average of 10 - 15 calls per day. Add to that, plenty of playing around, downloading, surfing and facebook etc and I think this would count as fairly decent daily usage. My battery is ausually round 30% by bed time when it is hooked up to Zune on my PC for a charge and a sync.
Cheers
Andy
OK thanks guys it was soo weird after the 10 % it didnt move until I started playing again, but it was weird that the first 10 % were finished so fast and how do you turn of GPS? I did not find an option.

The flashlight app (if you mean one that would permanently turn on the camera flash to use it as a torch) will not work on the Mozart.
The Mozart has a Xenon flash, like a real camera. These can only be used for a very short time (e.g. when the flash goes off) and not turned on for a longer time.
All other Windows Phone 7 handsets use LED lights as their flash. These are not as bright when they just flash, but they can be turned on permanently without them burning out.
I don't think any Flashlight app will ever support the Mozart, because of this.

Still a bit stupid should have also built in a LED
Hi again.
Notes is now in Marketplace. Tap HTC Hub and you'll see it. But I don't think you have a chance to get it in zune. Just downloaded it, it's great.
HTC Notes is great but you can write free hand, only type?
and why we need HTC Notes as MS Office Note has the same functionality and its already installed on WM 7.
My problem is the power-Button. This button is too sensible. If i have the mozart in my pants, it could be that the phones turns off by walking.

so you're saying that when the phone is locked it can be powered off without unlocking it first?

Yes. This is more a software-problem... Or stay i alone with this problem?
I am not sure exactly what has happened to mine and I cant seem to find any similar scenarios on the net so far.
It cut out/turned off mid phone call this morning and it will not turn back on, have tried power button and camera button, pulled out/replaced battery, put it on charger (no charge light), only thing left is to try my gf's battery (my battery was >50%) but I don't think that is the problem. Not really looking for a solution here but will post back if I work it out so others can easier (will take it to the shop).
EDIT: Don't know if this will help anyone but I tried as a last resort a hard reset (you lose all your data) and for some reason the phone just turned on ( I didn't get a reset screen). I did this by holding the volume up and the volume down and briefly tapping the power button.
Has anyone have problems scrolling the pages up and down in internet explorer, it sometimes does not react to your finger, like it just freezes.
In dark rooms, sometimes my mozart makes blue pictures...
All of the problems above I have experienced and more, the OS at best is a first release, and depending on your software environment, what apps you have installed, you will experience a variety of problems. On the whole if you use mainstream apps, you should not have major problems. Battery life, is mainly down to your carrier, optimising their servers to deliver data to the phone in an economical way.

It true if you press the unlock button for a long time it turns off regardless of where you are in the OS.....
And the IE problems sometimes happens... No clue why but it sometimes also zooms in and out instead of scrolling.
These are normal ^^
1. set an alarm time at 7:00 am or whatever time in the morning at night before you go to bed.
2. when the alarm set off at the set time, do not touch it until a quite long time later, let's say, 9:00am.
3. then start the phone, try to slide the hood up using your finger. you can move it up, however it can sometimes only moves to halfway of the screen or completely. but either way, then you get it frozen there.
4. to use the phone you have to switch it off and restart it again although luckily WP7 starts up quite faster than those using WM6.5.
ps: in my case, i set the alarm at 8:30 am, but i didn't do anything when it alarmed until it became quiet itself. when i tried to use it at about 10:00am, it froze. until it happened to me quite a few times i realised that it could be a bug of it. it happens even after i did the hard reset.
by the way the ROM is from Orange, UK.
same here, every morning the alarm does not wake me up then when i wake up at look at the phone its frozen. and im guessing if i call orange they will ask me to hard reset the phone, lose all my settings and apps ( thatn sounds so iphone,....apps) for the problem to continue!!!! any one else want a rant about this problem.
no problem with mine
alarm set to 5:30am, 6:30am, 7:00am
and its orange uk too
works very ok
use it everyday

Please try to do the same as i said using only one alarm time in my post instead of three times. And if interested, try the procedures in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845321, too. Many thanks.
Actually: here's my whole story... kind of a lil different experience for me...
Scenario 1:
Created three alarms, each one 15 minutes apart... they helped me in walking up and i would click the dismiss button and such... but most of the time, even though the phone worked without any problems, NO AUDIO! Even when i played any song on the phone or got a call or anything... Plus, the Power button only unlocked but never shut-down the phone so had to take out the battery to reset... A few times though it wasn't frozen but while unlocking or going into a hub or something, it would end up freezing.
Scenario 2:
Disabled one of the alarms and by the time i wake up, i usually find the phone frozen and unresponsive... Sometimes it would work but same problem as before, no audio at all....
Scenario 3:
Only one alarm enabled now every noon ('coz i wake up at 1:00 PM), i always find the phone frozen and have to reset...!
Scenario 4:
No Alarms enabled! Phone works SUPER DUPER FRICKIN' AWESOME!!!! Well the only time i usually do end up resetting is when Marketplace crashes out on me and doesn't start back up (which has really happened only once in a while)
--------------------------------------------
Call me crazy but despite this annoying bug i'm really loving my Mozart!
Not sure if this is a HTC issue (most-likely) but I do hope that these issues are ironed out in the January/February updates!!! Keeping my fingers crossed...
Regards.
Salman Khalid.
been using my alarms ok just changed to the 3 alarms be cause i always used to ignore the first sound
was not freezing when it was one
not freezing now that i have three
only frozen once on market while downloading xbox live extras
my phone works perfectly what more can i say
fantastic device
Same problem here.
I've two ararlms, set 3 min apart. if i dimiss the first alarm before the second goes off, all works fine. but if the first is not dismissed then after the second alarm i need to restart the Mozart.
Agree with others that despite all these annoying things Mozart is a great device. I wish Microsoft releases the next update asap.
Similar problems here since day 1. My issue though was caused by hitting the snooze button each time the alarm went off (instead of actually getting out or bed or hitting the dismiss button).
After about half dozen "snoozes" the phone hangs and needs the battery removed (power button will not turn the device off, screen unresponsive to touch input, only the screen can be turned on and off with the power button).
Has anyone tried to replicate the issue with "vibrate" turned off under "ringtones & sounds" settings? I've turned this off which solved some occasional sound stuttering when receiving emails or sms, and I can't say that I've noticed this alarm bug since.
Maybe worth a try?

Reading this really makes me wonder, whether there was a decent Q&A involved...
Especially, since the WP7 runs way better than WM6 (or 6.1 or 6.5) - but fails in seemingly small applications.
(My problem regarding the jump-to-letter feature in the Zune application is purely based on the German language -.- . I've set my Mozart to English - just to try it - and suddenly the letters appear correctly and allow me to jump directly to a letter (like in the contacts) in the Zune application. If the language is set to German, all letters are grey and only the "#" is active...)
I really hope that these bugs will be fixed in the next update.
(Additionally, my phone has not crashed since I stopped using the alarm clock)
I had WM 5, 6, 6.1, 6.3 and 6.5 soon WP 7
I never used the windows alarm because it freeze my devices every time.
Crazy.....
I have SPB Time it's very nice
I had set up like 8 alarms, and i have the same problem OP has.
If you don't dismiss your alarm, phone freezes when the next alarm goes.
I have T-Mobile 16GB Mozart. so it isn't orange related
I'm using my mozart every morning as an alarm clock - no problems until now. But normally I wake up and hit "dismiss".
I have a germany T-Mobile device...
I use the phone as my alarm clock but when I plug it in to charge the screen will, for whatever reason, come on and stay on. I turn off all synching at night so its not getting any emails and nobody ever texts me at night so its not that either.
Does anyone know if there is a way to schedule the S2 to shut-off and turn on at scheduled times?
I know my old Crapberry had this option but I cannot seem to locate if this phone can do that.

Chainfire makes an app called NoMoarPowah! which lets you schedule your phone to power itself back on at a specified time. It can also suggest a wakeup time based on your alarms. I think your phone needs to be plugged in for it to work, but that should be fine for your situation.
It's free on the Play Store, just search for it. (can't post links, sorry)
Note that I actually never got this to work on my phone running AOKP, but it's worth a try.

Hello,
I started to use the Stock Alarm of my GS3, but there's no option to unset the automatic snooze that interrupts any song after 1 sharp minute.
I don't mean the repeating snooze of the alarm 3-5 times and time between the repeating, I mean that just the first time the alarm is singing for 1 minute even if the song/mp3 is longer, than again 1 minute if repeating is active.
Note, I have 30 sec screen off, repeating time is 5 minute for 3 times (for instance).
Did you noticed that?
How can we resolve that?
I would have thought that anyone who uses the alarm would be turning it off almost immediately. I do.

Depends if you like to stay some other minutes more in slumber before standing up.
Well, you can turn it off, but at this point there no reason to snooze, you turned off already and you can easily fall in sleep again but this time without the alarm. I don't like :cyclops:

I remember my roomate at uni had a CD player alarm clock. He got drunk one evening and I ended up listening to his entire madness CD. Not complaining about the music but to this day House of Fun still makes me cringe.
Also have you tried other applications for your alarm?

Yeah, I will go for other apps. I already installed them, and I'm testing the best that suites to me.
In the meantime if somebody has a solution or modified apk, I will appreciate.
But it's a pity, I had nothing to complain of the Stock Alarm: very simple, clear and working, already inside the stock, just the maximum 1 minute of singing alarm. Just a programmer's idea, I think.
Anybody got a good app for turning notifications off at night but allow certain contracts to ring? Also looking to disable the LED light and sound etc
So far only app I have on my Z2 is Quiet Sleep which does the phone calls and sound.

Check out Nights Keeper. I've been using it for several months now on a few different HTC phones & love it. There isn't an option to disable the LED, unless via stamina mode perhaps, but otherwise it should be what you're looking for.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nightskeeper
Edit: Sorry, you've already accomplished the same thing with Quiet Sleep that Nights Keeper does I think. I'll leave in case someone else could use it & stumbles onto this thread.
I'm using tasker for that. As soon as the phone is docked and in my Wifi I turn off all the sounds and the LED notification. Turn on all the sounds as soon as I undock the phone. Works just fine. You can also define either a single contact or all your favorite contacts to ring regardless of that setting. Same goes for received texts.

Another vote for nights keeper. I was working night shift where I had finished my work allocated I would go back home to bed. I'd set it up so only certain people could get through (ie the boss and office) whether that be bus sms or call.
It's got a handy feature whereby, if anyone calls more than a predetermined number of times (you choose) there call will get through after x amount of tries.
