Powering ON/OFF phone at scheduled times? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I want to know if it's possible to schedule the SGS2 to power on automatically at a certain time.
This is possible on symbian phones, If we set an alarm for morning and turn off the phone completely, the phone turns on automatically at alarm time.
I did a lot of searching around, and found this thread of most recent activity

apparently it has been done in Spice mi-270.
Can it be done on the sgs2/other phones as well? or is there some other alternative?
I don't want the basic alternatives such as airplane mode, nomoarpowah, power scheduler, etc... just want phone to turn on automatically at a set time..
Any replies would be appreciated

You could try to use Juice Defender from Google Play.
Although I think it has an option to switch phone to airplane mode instead of "turn off" mode. But still you can try it I think
Regards,

When you turn a Symbian phone "off" you actually don't. Its just a really deep sleep mode, which comes out of a deep sleep when an alarm is due to go off for example. Android actually turns off, hence why we can get to the very core of the system, I.e. recovery, download etc.
Try pulling the battery on a Symbian phone, I bet it won't wake itself for an alarm. Obviously after you put the battery back in.

NoMoarPowah! does the trick

battery level ?

People usually talk about battery life for continuous usage, but i want to ask about battery life when leaving the phone off ?
After a few tweaks, i noted that betterbatterystats shows my phones has been booted on for 5 days 15 minutes, out of which it's been 4 days 5 hours 20 minutes in deep sleep; and only seen 1 hour 59 minutes of actual usage (screen on basically means when i'm actually actively using it)
unplug means when i unplug it from usb charging after it was already 100% fully charged.

So how does my phone battery stats compare to the normal life time for the Samsung S3 when not in use ? just wondering.
I give most credit to greenify for helping keep my phone in deep sleep mode most of the time. Apps that are waking my phone is mostly googlemaps, and greenpower (left this ungreenified because it managed when to turn on/off my wifi, when i open screen .... which it probably can't do if i greenify it)
other than the few wake locks; the wifi on is mostly due to syncs. I usually set my apps to at most only sync when i turn on the app, or at max once a day. Greenpower will trigger to turn on wifi when the app requests access :X
PS: i'm using wanamlite and adam kernel. As well as philz CWM touch for root.

Galaxy Note 4 910F Wakelock Battery Drain

Hi all,
I have a Note 4 910F on 6.01 (unrooted) with dreadful battery drain to the point where under use I'm hardly lasting a day or less which is ridiculous under medium/light use.
As seen in the images below the phone (since I got it) has been awake all the time (even when screen is off) except when its turned off. (I disabled WiFi on when sleep mode)
It will be awake in airplane mode and in safe mode so its not a 3rd party app problem. All bluetooth/nfc etc disabled. I have tried phone cache clear, app cache clear, reset.
I've used wakelock detector to grant battery stats via pc and see screenshots below for the wakelocks. I've then turned on the phone and have not touched anything for over an hour to show awake stats when the screen is off.
I've been all over the net searching for an answer but I'm pretty new to android stats etc. This is one of three batteries I have btw, all of which perform the same, so to me it must be software related. I am prepared to root the device to remove software that could be causing issue if it will solve it...
I have disabled Google+, Google Now, No Voice commands present at all or gestures.
Can anyone tell me the issue and how to solve this battery drain???

Location Method changing automatically

Hi All,
ive found a new annoyance with my phone recently. I always keep my phone location settings on battery saver mode as i believe having it on high accuracy all the time does make a difference to stand by drain with google's constant requests of location data.
however recently it seems the phone changes to high accuracy mode by itself after a few hours - anyone know which app/setting may cause this? Wifi calling used to do this but i no longer use - must be another setting somewhere?
Go to the Settings search bar and type: "Send Last Location", you'll wind up here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The "Send Last Location" bumps up your location accuracy when your battery is low so you can find your phone when it dies.
Good find! Although my battery is on 6% atm and it's still on battery saver mode so thinking it isn't that ?
I have noticed the same thing. I picked up that the native weather app is turning on the gps to high accuracy when updating the weather.
I had a look at that app and when I launch it - it did ask to change my accuracy to high so thinking it can't be that either ? Kinda annoying trying to find this rogue setting / app
What I do is just refresh the app on the widget and not to open the app, I picked up that even if I say to turn on gps later, it switches it to high automatically

Have you got DC dimming on, if so try turning it off.
That definitely doesn't look like what dc dimming would do, and in fact, it looks like a software issue, since the status bar is completely fine. It looks to me that some screen filtering app is effecting the screen's contrast. It might be misbehaving (doesn't turn off when it's supposed to), or installed and set up by another person other than the OP. Try finding in app drawer/home screen apps with titles including "blue light filter" "night" or "dimmer," then uninstall it (we already got that night mode toggle in our device settings, which is 1000 times better than these apps that screw up contrast, so we definitely won't need any kind of blue light filter app).
Try booting in safe mode and see if the issue persist:
- Shutdown your device
- Boot it by holding the power button and the volume up button
This should disable all filtering services etc. that could change the screen colour. If it doesn't fix the issue, a factory reset would be a good choice. If that doesn't help, it probably is a hardware defect.

Problem with option that cannot be turned off

Hello,
I am writing here because I have encountered an error and I cannot find a solution to fix it anywhere.
I have Redmi Note 5 with MIUI 11.0.3.
I clicked Optimise Battery and among other options to optimise the option "Save power when device is locked" was ticked by default. Than I clicked green button "Add X minutes". Than I realised this option causes the GPS to turn off when device is locked. But there is no way now to turn off this option "save power when device is locked". It is nowhere to be found in settings.
Looks like it is a software error, where battery optimizer turns on this option but there is no way to turn it off later in any way.
I am attaching a screenshot, you can see this option in "optimised" category and there is nothing to be done to turn this off.
Please help me how to disable this option, because having GPS when device is locked is important to me.
Thanks
Konrad Dolowy

You can't keep GPS on while screen is off and in power saver mode.
However you can keep google navigation on in the background, which in return can keep the GPS on no matter what is your state of your device.
Or you can download this app, it claims to keep GPS on in background. (Probably uses the same logic of google navigation)
I haven't tested the app though. And I think it would stop working once you turn power saver mode, and didn't add the app to whitelist.
I believe google find my device can keep GPS on in the background as well, even in power saver mode. (Since it has administrator permission)
I recommend trying google find my device first. I wouldn't feel safe sharing my location with too much apps, and google is enough.
Similarly you can try adding any app that uses GPS to the whitelist.
Hope I helped.
