Anyone know of an app that can power off the phone at a certain time and then power it back on?
How would this app be running when the phone is off? I'm sure profile settimgs or tasker could put it in airplane mode for a a certain period.
Im not sure if any app could power back on the phone, but if anything could it would be Tasker, i just got it the other day and i LOVE it, you can automate just about anything your heart could desire. Check it out here:

Tasker is the whole reason I am looking. The developer of tasker said that running commands as root is not yet supported. So, I just need to run an app that will shutdown the phone at a specified time.

Just asking. Years ago, my blackberry could do a full power off and back on at specific times.
Just an app for unrooted phones that restarted the phone at a set time would be great. Anyone seen anything.
i imagine the app would be phone specific? Idk about other android devices, but when the captivate is off and you plug it in to charge, it boots up a screen showing battery levels. Following on that line of thinking, why not replace the battery meter with a timer and fool the phone into thinking its always plugged in charging? ofc, this is a very crude way to do it but it may set people on the right line of thought.
I bet the blackberry that did it had some special hardware though that held some minute charge and timer.
Shut off / Wake up
I had a BBB 9000 and it came with a native program to set a time to wake up and shut off the phone at a time you would set. It had it for through the week and weekends. I really liked to be able to do that,
this owuld be a great app!
I am looking for something like this too. I used to have the native app on my blackberry and miss it. Any programmers out there want to take it on?
i realize this is quite the old post but many chinese phones support this and the scheduled option is in the settings menu to turn on and off the phone so it appears to be built into the rom
Yes, most Chinese android phones come with this feature. It has its own tab "scheduled on and off" in the settings section.
I had a meizu M2 which ran on FLY-OS(Android lollipop) and it had this feature. It was able to power off and back on again by itself. Even if I removed the battery after powering off the phone and insert it 20mins later, it would still power on at the set time. Also, blackberry phones were able to this also.
From what I've read about this online, some people claim that a few Chinese companies have patented this feature and have exclusive ownership over it. Currently, no other phones or custom firmwares have this feature.
Can we all together request the community for porting this feature?
Bump!
LeEco x722 stock Banggood 20s version has this feature too.

Schedule power on and off in android as a native feature NOT an app
Schedule power on and off in android as a native feature is possible as some Chinese phones have it for years (decade?).
Why is still not yet widely available this feature on Android by 2020, is it really patent problem or is it due it needs specific hardware which most phone don't have...............?
As once I had it on Chines phone I never stop miss it.
Please can somebody clarify this subject for good.
Thanks!
Didn't see this mentioned in either changelog or any Android Nougat reviews - finally has a schedule power on/off option!
HOW-TO: https://www.technologyhint.com/schedule-power-on-off-android/
Note: In Android 7.1.2 this setting is in Battery menu.

What is the article trying to say? I don't get it! (yes I seen it and used it before)
Seen actually few articles like that but it doesn't answer my question.
The pictures in the article shows an Android KitKat probably on some Chinese device.
Exactly as my old Chinese phone THL L969 (TECHNOLOGY HAPPY LIFE) LOL but I giving them big credit!
And I didn't find it on my Asus Android 7.1.2 anywhere in Settings nor in Battery menu.
So again, why is it not on nearly every phone and Android version by now 2020.
What is it so mysterious about it......................?
Thank you.

My last 2 cents:
Once a device got powered off, not any piece of software running on it can perform a power on: should be obvious.
What can be done is to programmatically put Android device timer controlled in stand by mode ( means display gets switched off ) and to reawaken it. On rooted phones ( with BusyBox installed on ) this is very easy to realize.
Currently i power off my x722 manually (and i see myself that the phone is been really powered off after a while) and later, on the next morning it switches on automatically just to run the AOSIP's 9.0 default alarm.
I don't know if running that apk (extracted from Titanium Backup) helped me to retain that old 6.0 feature but before that my 9.0 phone was not able to automatically power on to run that alarm...

Hello, can you eventually share that app?
I've searched for it but don't find it on the web....
It's to try it on my blackview bv6100 chinese phone which doesn't have this option.... (my old mann zug 5s had that with its stock rom...)
I have seen many new features on Android 5 but it is the Screen Pinning that got me searching for two hours. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find something for Android 4. Is there any that does the same? I mean like apps or xposed module? I've got a rooted device anyway. I wish it'd be available for Android 4 too.
I can't seem to find the SIP settings in the Phone app, did LG cut this feature?
Using Activity Launcher i was able to find com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings in com.android.phone but it looks like it does crash when adding a new profile.
Same here. Did you manage to find the settings? Advanced Options is greyed out...
Same here. Apparently LG removed it...
Motorola also had this removed from my previsous moto X play.
I have only used it on Nexus 5x.
same here?
Apparently the stock OS on the LG G5 of my father is missing this part of the GUI too. (fail) This G5 is from Fido in Canada but I do not know if that matters in this case.
my workaround

The G5 of my father is now mine. I upgraded the stock OS in place from Android OS 7 to 8 but still could not use the native SIP support of the Android OS. With Activity Launcher, I can open the com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings screen but this screen is blank. I did not try whilst still running Android OS 7 because I wanted to upgrade the OS in place before spending lots of time customising things so that I do not lose that time in case the in place upgrade of the OS failed. I wanted to continue using my VoIP.ms SIP/IAX account so I tried using a softphone application as a workaround. SIPdroid seemed to work but finding the PSTN number to call seemed awkward and SIPdroid seems to lack a speakerphone function so I tried Zoiper because it was mentioned by a user review of SIPdroid in the Google Play Store that mentioned the lack of a speakerphone function in SIPdroid. Zoiper seems to work well so far: finding the PSTN number to call was easy and the speakerphone function seemed to work. I wish the LG G5 had an AMOLED display instead of an IPS AMLCD but now the G5 seems able to fully replace my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running the now too antiquated Android OS 4.4 . I insist on having an easily removable battery so the Galaxy Note 4 is the last in the Galaxy Note series I can use. My father now uses a Galaxy Note 4, which is why he gave me his LG G5.
Hi
First time post in this forum - hope someone can help me.
Just getting back to driving after lockdown and have noticed a problem with using Android Auto app. My P20 lite connects to the cars Infotainment system using USB cable via Android Auto app. I use this for navigation using Google maps, I also use Telegram for messaging, and VCL or Spotify for music.
When Android Auto loads, the Launcher function, which allows you to choose whichever app you want does not work and you are stuck with whatever app you last used. The area where other app shortcuts should be displayed is blank. One time in 10, it will work normally. My car is a 2017 Skoda Octavia estate with a Bolera head unit. Here are the things I have done so far to try to remedy the situation :
1 Replace the USB cord (twice)
2 Update the head-units firmware /software to the latest version
3 Update all phone software - Maps, and all other software to latest versions
4 Tried 2 other Android devices* both worked OK
* ( Google Pixel 3a with Android 11,Samsung S2 tablet with Android 7 and my P20 running Android 9)
5 I have also disabled most Huawei apps and the Huawei ID - anything which ad the ability to work over other apps or had the ability to write its own settings.
Now I'm out of Ideas. Any help much appreciated
where can I download Adroid 6 for my CuBot phone ?
What's your CUBOT phone's model?
thanks for the reply jwoegerbauer, its the Quest lite.......
Id even be happy to change phones to something like a redmi 9c or that price range to be able to run Android 6 for my apps and less intrusive/easyer operating system
This phablet runs Android 9 out of the box. Wondering why the need to downgrade it to Android 6?
Hint: Change this thread's title to Cubot Quest Lite - Downgrade to Android 6 thus mainly owners of such a phablet get addressed.
I feel I have less control here is a quick list before work:
Wifi turns itself on if close to strong signal
no details in call logs only days shown (cant change)
google stop my call recorder showing a number (i used heaps for work)
only two colours for background (black or white)
there is a favourite tab under contact not needed
there are more can list later........
