Hi guys,
If you really need this option, like I do, please vote here.
What? Why?
I disagree.
Not really sure why you'd need that. Just put it in airplane mode if you're concerned about draining the battery.

Because some people use their phones as alarm clock every morning and we don't use our phones while we are asleep. So why should phone be on all night?

Why? You don't want more features in your WP? If WP wants to be big player he should offer more than big 2.

I can do that, but that's just a workaround for something that should be simple as button press. Plus, it still drains ~5% or more. Main reason is that we don't use our phones at night while we are asleep and most of us probably don't want to be disturbed by phone calls, messages or emails at night. So why not just turn off the phone with simple button press and still have alarm clock on. It's not that battery last very long on WP devices.

Yes, I miss this feature from my Nokia. Blackberry also has this feature.
Are there even alarm apps that work in the background yet? The one I use, GAlarm, doesn't -.-
Alarm, when the phone is off, is just like air condition when car engine is off. You can't use air condition if you dont turn your engine on. Just live vit it, you don't have other choice. This is smart phone not Nokia 3310!

Blackberry is also smartphone and if they figure out how to do this I guess other guys could too.
I don't want my phone to be able to turn its self on. Plus if I turn it off that means I dont want the alarm going off. If people genuinely wanted this then they would vote for it, you don't need to convince us.
Well today i was late for work. Without a good reason my phone went off last night.
No alarm woke me up! Just because this feature is missing. It would come in handy if there was just an option to wake up the phone when alarm goes off.
I wonder if you're confusing "off" with "sleep"?
"Off" is just that: no power, no nothing. How can an alarm ring when there's no power to allow it to ring?
As for Blackberry doing this...again, are you sure the phone wasn't in a low-powered state, like "sleep"?

I think you know nothing about "Off". If when we turn off the phone, there is "no power, no nothing" like you said, why when we turn it on again, the clock is still correct? Even if you remove the battery for a while, the phone is still work, cause there is a backup battery (at least a large capacitor) in the phone, to keep some basic function running when the phone is off.
I agree with Klikerko, cause some users are used to turn off the phone while they are asleep, airplane mode or turn off, we should have the right to choose which one to use, like Symbian.
Symbian users are too familiar with how the alarm clock works.
The phone will start itself and stay in the clock mode, mean it will give you two option:
Snooze + Turn off the alarm ( for that day only) and then it will ask you either to turn on the phone or not.
Well... it is kinda annoying with you have to press twice to turn off the alarm and shut the phone off/on...
I really would rather to have my phone run by me all night long with the charger. It doesn't hurt. And Windows Phones will turn themselves on if you plug in the charger, no matter what... so it is kinda pointless to ask for that.
BTW, it is a nice feature to have, but it doesn't hurt me if MS doesn't add it.
Agreed... I cant see the need for an alarm when the phone is off... Unless it turned itself off, in which case you got more serious problems.
I want an alarm program to work in the background, AND be able to have its own volume settings... I don't like having to remember to switch on the alarm software, make sure its active, then adjust the volume ever time I want to go to bed... especially if its been a "good" night. The WP stock alarm software has too few options, and switches itself off after a predetermined set of time (~5 mins is it?)... What is the good of an alarm clock that turns itself off?

Then I stand corrected, as this isn't unlike a PC with its CMOS battery (otherwise PCs wouldn't be able to keep the current time without having an Internet connection to connect to an NTP server).
With off, like the battery removed, This would be a dumb request and I would not vote for it. How would an app work if there was no power to it ?
As for the built in alarm app, it's simple and I have NEVER missed a meeting because of it. I use it everytime I travel and dont even touch the in-room alarm clocks. No need to update this.
No need to change that
The alarm works fine as it is for me: I put my phone in silence mode every evening and leave is charging. It always woke me up when needed.
Given how much else needs to be done or enhanced on the Windows Phone platform, I don't think this request should be a priority.
Cheers,
Stephen
There are oddities with WP7, but not life-altering. Won't charge in 'off' mode. WiFi sync works only while charging. Alarm subsystem functions only while in sleep/awake mode.
For alarm clock -- airplane mode, plug into charger, sleep mode (via power button or just set it down on it's face).
In the morning, alarm goes off, hit dismiss, hold back button pulls up airplane mode, flick it off, and start button takes me back to homescreen, fully charged and ready to go. Unlike WM5/6 where the alarm subroutine was unreliable, WP7 is refreshingly stable and reliable for my needs.
Cheers

I'm relatively new to the phone, so it maybe somethign I'm doing wrong however I'll explain incase there's something amiss.
I recently installed SPB Time, mostly because despite what I did, the inbuilt alarm on the phone wouldn't repeat (it takes a bomb to wake me up, so I need something loud and long to get me up!).
The SPB Time works great, has a very annoying ring on it, however it just won't go off unless I press the standby button on the right hand side of the phone.
This morning as an example, I awoke at 05:45, the alarm was due to go off at 06:00. I thought I'd wait to see what happened. Sure enough, 06:00 came and went, picked up the phone, pressed the standby button and the alarm went off!
Any ideas what could be wrong. Am I doing something wrong?
You need to let the phone disable itself.
When you press the right "close" button to disable your screen the alarm won't go off.

Yep, thats what I thought. However last night I deliberatly let the phone disable itself and it still didnt work. I can literally sit here at my desk, set the alarm for the next 5 minutes, let the phone disable itself and the alarm wont go off. As soon as I press the standby button, off it goes.
Software or hardware related? Im at a loss to be honest.
i had the same probleme
and the solution is simple !
you need to instal spb clock in internal memoty and not in storage
and it's ok
for sure it take 4mo but you had to choose
regards
Hate to say it, but I've tried that and it's still the same.
It's an old version, so wonder if the new version has the same problems.
I've got SPB Time and it works fine. There is an option in the alarm page for "enable wakeup tweak" make sure that's ticked...
Get the latest version,,, 2.1.4 build 947.
If you have SPB Time 2.x.x then you should be able to use your serial code in the latest versions...
(Works for me fine if installed in storage card too btw...)
Like I suspect most people, I don’t need my emails downloading while I sleep (or any other data transfer for that matter).
There doesn’t appear to be a ‘night mode’, or whatever you want to call it.
So in the interests of saving the battery, what do people do?
There are three options:
1. Turn off mobile
2. Turn on flight mode
3. Turn off cellular

I leave mine as is, but if I could get into a routine, I would practice the habit of tapping airplane mode.
I let it roll - if I need to be contacted in the middle of the night my phone needs to work (so airplane mode isn't an option). However, what I would like are notification profiles (which I would assume are similar to network profiles in principle, if not in function). I'd like the phone to automatically go into vibrate during a meeting, stop vibration/sound notification for e-mails at 'night,' and change the volume during 'game.'
GProfile
I used to use GProfile when I was using my Fuze with WM 6.5.X and it was great. Still waiting for something like this for WP7.
I suppose the fourth option is to put it on charge? That's what I do but, yeah alright, that doesn't conserve the battery.
The ideal situation would be to allow us to custom define our own profiles and to also differentiate between system (ringtone/notifications) and application (music/games) sound.
Unfortunately, my job dictates that I be on call 24-hrs a day if any of my staff/system crashes need me. So I have to actually turn up the ringer to full every night to assure it wakes me up... ugh...
(no, not in IT)
Hey guys.
I just contacted Motorola to request some new features be added to the stock ROM (which in my opinion) would be crucial to increasing the functionality and battery levels of the watch.
Don't know if any Motorola Dev's/Engineers are following this site but just in case, I'd love to have these features asap.
Please add more if there is anything I have missed.
1. Have the ability to turn Vibrate OFF while still receiving notifications on the watch
Why ? Because I have my phone in my pocket constantly, and my phone vibrates when a new notification comes up. I dont need my pocket and my wrist vibrating together.
Also, Increase battery life.
2. Need to have the ability to turn off notifications for certain apps. For Example, I want the watch to vibrate when an SMS or Email comes through, but turned off for Messenger, kik, and everything else.
Also, by having this feature, Im sure a developer could write up a small app to install onto the phone which would tell the watch which notifications to vibrate for, and which to just display on the screen.
And again, this will save battery life by turning the vibrate motor off for (in my case) 90% of the notifications coming through.
3. Have a slider to control the level of vibration or the burst of vibration.
Why ? This adds a level of customization to the watch.
Also, I see people complaining that the watch doesn't vibrate enough while in my case, its vibration time is too long. By having the ability to shortening the vibrate time, you also save battery life (if not by much).
By having all 3 features embedded into the ROM, On the average user, it should increase battery life by almost double (if not more).

Pretty neat ideas. I have one id like to add lol. I want to be able to turn off motion detection for the screen. I had this feature on my galaxy gear and it gave me an day and half EXTRA battery with it turned off. We could get similar battery life (3-4 days with average use,custom rom too) if this was disabled. I had to always press the button to turn the screen on to check the time, but notifications still lit the screen up when they came in. Totally worth an extra 24-36 hours of battery . However i like the idea of being able to tap the screen to wake the moto360.
So basically I want motion detection disabled but leave tap to wake on.
Can't you turn off notifications for certain apps in the Android Wear app (mute apps)?

I like this idea because sometimes it's hard getting the watch to light up with motion, so turning off that feature for when it does work would be fine.
In my case, I have the phone vibration turned off and rely on the watch to deliver notifications.
My one and only important feature request is the ability to create my own canned response list.
Of course, official support for 3rd party keyboards would be nice as well.
Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode
I'm not sure if they intend to include Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode in their Lollipop release. Google chose not to include peripheral mode for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, although it is included with the newer Nexus 6 and 9. But for Android Wear, Peripheral Mode would enable a huge number of new and useful apps, that would significantly improve the usefulness of the watch. The simplest one would be a beacon to help you find your watch when you forgot where you left it, but enabling service solicitation would open a whole new world of applications for the watch.
#1 has worked since day one.
I get a notification, my phone remains silent, the watch vibrates. It's in the AW app settings.
according to me, since the watch has a inbuilt mic, a feature can be added that when someone calls, answer from the watch, just speak that you'll call back later & disconnect. this will be helpful if you are driving... no need to pick the phone ...

Good list, I have one more. Allow the setting of alarms for only certain days. For example, I would like to be able to set an alarm at 7 PM that goes off only on weekdays and not weekends, as I use this to let me know when I can get into the car pool lane when I am driving back home from work. That alarm is useless on the weekend, so no need for it to be turned on every day.

I am still wondering which watch support Bluetooth peripheral?
As I know LG G watch 5.0.1 do not support it.
if (mBluetoothAdapter.isMultipleAdvertisementSupported()) {
will return false.
on mine the whole notification thing is messed up..
sometimes it will vibrate and pop up when i get a text or email.. but then sometimes it doesnt do anything at all.
hardly ever, does it vibrate when i get a fb IM.. but it pops up and the screen lights up.
maybe they should fix it first before adding anything.

Pretty sure vibration is app dependent. Example, 8sms. You can change the vibration length in the settings. If you set your phone to 1000ms vibration when you get a text your phone AND watch will vibrate for 1000ms(or whatever vibration pattern you set) To further my point I would NEVER feel the vibration of Snapchat updates because it was so short. I'm using xposed(gravity box) to change snapchats vibration length and I feel the notification on my watch and phone every time.
I agree 100% google should have a universal setting to be able to change vibration,notification, and screen light up settings.

Someone had the bright idea that "Do Not Disturb" puts the Alarm out of business. A Genius idea, since 95% of the world use "Do not disturb" when they sleep.
I am a very light sleeper. I am currently faced with the most annoying problem ever, and due to waking up 15times a night, i am getting beyond adjudicated due to lack of a good nights sleep. You guessed it, i wake up from the vibration!
The LG G3. Turn it all the way, and you get Virbate, Alarm still works.
Do not disturb, no vibrate, ahh nice, but now no Alarm.
I came from a G2, where i could pick Vibrate of full silent with only Alarm working. THIS IS THE F'ing feature thats missing, and i am fully aware that this is a know issue for most G3 users.
Who the heck came up with this stupid idea, and how can get to a point where my phone is dead silent but the ONLY sound that MUST work is from the Alarm?!
Is there a work around, is there an app i can use, anything, please help me get some SLEEP!
I agree that the only days I missed school is because of this Do not disturb feature I use when I'm busy and.... I miss my alarm!
But missing work is just not an option for me.

Settings --> Sound --> Notifications --> Do Not Disturb --> Schedule -- Set the times and days you do not want to be interrupted, set the end time to be a few minutes before your alarm is due to go off, remember you need to start it from the night before, so if you work Monday to Friday you need to choose Sunday to Thursday, assuming that you go to sleep before midnight that is.
You can now leave your phone on normal volume, do not need to to mute or set to vibrate only.
Use priority mode, I had the same issue as you until I figured out how to use priority mode and keep it completely silent.
sound - notifications - do not disturb - make sure calendar events are ticked...
after wards go to home screen, set to DND and press volume down once you will get "
Do not disturn
1. on Priority Off
Select priority and presto! eveything else but calendar events (alarms) will be silent.

I use Sleep as Android and it'll do exactly what you're looking for - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en
I've got mine set up to just buzz my watch first, then a failsafe that goes off on my watch and phone.
Ooooo looks brilliant!!! Do all the other features like sleep tracking etc drain the battery much then?

It used to drain your battery totally, but dev recently got it working excellent instead.
Now our sw3 is one of the most battery efficient watch
To run the app on, battery "drains" around 17% over night, which is great since it various sensors are being used.
Regarding vibration on the watch in general: I think it's as easy as, if an app generates vibration alerts on your phone, it'll generate these on the watch too.

I just got the SW3 yesterday. I'm trying to get my alarms to sync, found this an tried Sleep as Android. However, it seems no matter what settings I use, my watch only buzzes once very briefly for the alarm while it goes off as normal on my phone. As if just a notification that an alarm is going off. Is this just how it works? Any ideas?
I followed the "instruction" chapter on wearables to enable Smartwatch in the app and enabled the vibration (Smartwatch) from start option, but I can't find any other real set up options or instructions.

I made two alarms - One with the phone vibrating / making noise, and the watch vibrating, then one set ~5 min before that, set to silent, and disabled vibration (so the phone does nothing), and set the Vibrate (Smartwatch) to "From start" as well.
When the first alarm goes off, mine buzzes once briefly at the time of the alarm, and then once again maybe 30 seconds later, then it starts getting more frequent after that. When I just went to check what my settings were, I also noticed there's an option to start the watch vibration "before" the alarm - though I'm not sure how much before the alarm "before" is, since it doesn't seem to be configurable, but that may alleviate my use of two alarms.
Hope that helps!
Official Clock app from Google
