Hi guys,
What I need is a app to turn off and turn on (without PIN code) my cell phone on specific time.
I mean, schedule my phone to turn off at 2am and turn on at 8am, this way I would save battery during night.
Some of you may say, why don't you turn it yourself? A: Cuz this way I would schedule my phone to turn on before I wake up, in case someone calls it would wake me up.. Or in case I forget to turn it off!

Use airplane mode, buddy. It's don't drain your battery, and there's a lot of apps to schedule it for example: Timeriffic.
Airplane mode turns off all radio connectivity, so if someone calls you it will act, like your devices is turned off.

it is technically impossible. Phone can't turn on by itself..even android hasn't the alarm auto wake like symbian..
I havent come across any way to do this, havent researched about it that deeply though.

And yeah, symbian is able to do that, sometimes my phone died during the night but it would have enough energy to start my alarm and then die again xD
Didn't knew that... And what if I set an alarm and my phone is shuted down, it wont ring?
I guess I'll try the one kmarci told.
Thx!
won't ring!

Beleive me dude, aiplane mode will suit you well. (Before this I had Nokia, I didn't know what was written here, but airplane mode does quite the same...)

Since Excalibur doesnt have this feature is there any programs that you can download and install to automatically turn on phone when the alarm turns on?!!?
Not that I know of... like what do you mean turn off the phone... you can set it to airplane mode and turn the whole phone service off from the comm manager and then turn it back on whenever you want...
no!! u know in a blackberry device!! when you turn it off at night then if you set your alarm for the morning and if the alarm turn on the phone will turn on???

From what I know, if a Windows Mobile phone is off, then it is really off and no alarm can turn it on (unlike alot of the Nokia phones for example)
blackberry dont use windows and when you do that the phone dont turn off completly.

why turn off your phone @ night...
it's in standby, not a big drain on your battery at all...
if you find that turning it off at night helps with your battery life drastically, as opposed to leaving it on - you may need a new battery, not an alarm app...
I know Android has never had this function on a phone, but is there a way to make an alarm sound when the phone is off? Something like an action programmed to turn the Gnex on and make the alarm sound... If my old phones could do it, why can't this one?

All the blackberry did when it turned the phone off is turn off all the radios and turn off the screen. and kill all apps except certain system apps. It really did not power off the phone, as if you left the blackberry in this state indefinitely it will eventually kill the battery. Its like a sleep mode. It really did not turn the system off.
For your phone you could use tasker that to create a task that turns off the screen, puts the phone in Airplane mode and kills all running apps to get the similar effect

I don't know about that. All nokia phones had the alarm go off with the phone completely off. You could even pull the battery out, put back in but not boot, and alarm went off properly.

It powered it off enough that I had a phone at 4% for an entire long weekend (ie killed it to the point it wouldn't power on to use anymore, and had forgot charger at work on the Friday) and it still got me up on Tuesday (and Monday :/). I didn't even actually realize the GN didn't do that as I normally plug mine in over night and leave it on.

You said you put the battery in and the Alarm goes off. Just because you did not push the power button does not mean the phones internal clock is still on pulling a small charge to keep the time, and produce a alarm event at a certain time.
Think of a desktop PC. Newer motherboards can actually turn on/off desktops at certain times even with it being completely off. Why? Because it has a small battery running the internal BIOS that can produce power events from an off state
Blackberry/Nokia probably implement this in different ways, but the fact remains their is something that stays on even when the phone is "off"
That's why as soon as you put the battery in for a blackberry the phone boots and takes forever to boot at that. But when you just turn it off with the power button and then turn it on, its back up running in seconds. The device is designed to always be on...even when it seems to be off.
Hello, i want to have WiFi turn off when i press the power button on my One V and have the phone got o sleep but when i click the "never" option in wifi>advanced options>Keep WiFi on during sleep>never it doesn't turn off the wifi when the phone's in sleep mode. I can tell because when i press the power button and my lockscreen comes up it still shows the wifi bars. Why is this, and what mistake am i making? How can i get this to properly turn off wifi when my screen's off (sleep).
Is there a time limit as to when it'll shut off? Like does it have to be be screen-off for a certain time interval for this to shut off wifi?
Which rom are you on ??
Lol dude when u switch it back on Obvio it will turn on the wifi

but no way wifi instantaneously turns on that fast. that's what i'm saying. when i have it off for about 3-4 minutes then i turn the screen back on i can see the icon slowly searching then connecting to my home internet. So does that mean that it has to be off for a certain time for the wifi to shut off?
Right but it will appear that it is turning on.... not on as it was when the screen was on ...sorry for the confusion

So basically, all i'm asking is, how long does it take to turn off wifi. Like, how long under sleep mode? Cause if i turn my phone on and off in a matter of seconds then it doesn't turn it off. Which i guess is good. So i guess there is a certain time interval involved in this.
Why do you even care ?? If you said it worked in 4 min that means its happening from 1 min or higher ....but the importance that its happening under 4 mins
So after messing around with a few suggestions of people who did this accidentally. I have been able to repeat it every night.
1. Put the phone on the charger with ambient mode on or off doesn't matter.
2. Go into android wear app on your phone.
3. When the watch face has dimmed on the charger switch ambient mode on,(using the phone) the screen with go bright again then it will dim. Once it has dimmed wait 5 seconds and turn ambient mode to off. The screen should now turn off on the watch.
4. If you put it on the charger with ambient mode enabled wait for it to dim, wait 5 seconds then switch ambient mode off. If the face doesn't turn off you are now able to start at step 3 so that's why it didn't matter how you started.
This is the first time I've had something to contribute, so let me know how it works for you. I'll post a video when I get home, unless someone beats me to it. My build is KGW42R if that makes a difference.
This was posted before, but thanks for the contribution.
I'm hoping they eventually put an option in the settings to auto disable display while charging.

for me, after i do this, screen turns off... but eventually in the night, the watch turns back on, i think when my phone does some kinda of check or gets a notification, the watch turns back on... so for me its useless..
Even if the screen is off all night is it safe to leave it on charge all night, especially as it is fully charged after 2 hrs? I've only had my watch since Monday so still figuring out the best practice but I've been charging it for a bit in the evening before heading off to sleep, completely turning it off and then in the morning while getting ready just putting it on the charger to a) turn on and b) charge fully.
I know in the manual it says that it has smart technology to protect it against overcharging but does it not stay hot all night on the cradle?
I would not recommend putting it on charge overnight with the back getting hot and the plastic back being crack prone

Non-issue. The back barely gets hot and even if it does just don't pull on the strap to the point that it causes pressure. Or simply take it off the charger for a minute before putting it on. It's not like its getting hot enough to melt the plastic. You can most definitely charge it overnight without a problem.
I've been doing this since I got the watch but last night after I installed the update the trick won't work. I go through the entire process and all goes like normal, but about 10 seconds after the screen shuts off, the backlight turns on. Anyone else having this issue?

I've noticed the backlight is on but it's still black. I guess at least it reduces the chance of the graphics getting stuck.

New update installed and the trick still works. No backlight just screen off.
I noticed that i dont have to be accurate and time 5-10 seconds after screen fades. It works anytime after the screen faded.
Anyway, thanks for the great tip!! :good:

I actually am having this issue. I usually turn off bluetooth on my phone right away, but the watch seems to continue to turn back on with the black screen only, which happened to drain my battery and make the watch really hot. Kinda strange.
This works for me without any issue, even after the last update from yesterday.
I just put the watch on the charger, then from the phone I set the Ambient Mode to ON, then to OFF and the screen turns off.
But here is the trick that I have noticed: you MUST have no light in the room, or cover the watch screen while doing the procedure. If there is light in the room, it won't work ! I accidentally discovered this.
There is also a build.prop edit in the development forum that allows you to change a line and when the watch is put on the charger, it does it automatically.
If you don't want to root your watch and you have a rooted phone, I made an app that does the button pressing for you
So the option to turn off the Display on Charger (Developer Menu) is not fixed?
Not to my knowledge.

I noticed the trick using the ambient setting works does turn off the display immediately but after a while ( not sure how long) the back light comes back. You see a faint back light with screen not nothing showing anything. Can only see this in pitch black at night all lights off
Anyone see the same behaviour?

The app that will do the same actions
With the latest update, this method doesn't work anymore. The screen will always turn on with a black screen after a couple of seconds. I don't think I will be charging it overnight anymore and just wait to charge it in the morning while getting ready.
Wish moto would give us an option to use nightstand mode or not. Even when dimmed it's still bright while sleeping.
Ok, so I was hoping the screen off while charging would be fixed or implemented, depends on how you look at it, in 5.0 but it hasn't been. Debugging is enabled and screen off is set but still doesnt' do anything. I found that if you double click the button it will enable theatre mode which does turn off the screen when its charging....for about a minute then the backlight turns back on. Sure, its a black screen but its still on. I really don't need 8 hours of useless wear and tear on my watch when I'm sleeping.
Has someone found a great workaround or something so get it to stay off completely while charging?

I've been doing this. The back light turns back on but no image on the screen.
Just double tap the side button when it's charging. Not three times. It will go pitch black.

Same here.
Even in theatre mode while charging, after a minute or so, the backlight turns on with a complete black screen. Its more evident in a complete dark room. We should report this in bug report to fix. Like u said, is useless and charging battery all night not sounds good for me and the battery life too...
The worst thing is, if you put off the watch from the charger just after backlight turning on, its continue on! Draining your battery like hell until you see and turn on the screen one time at least...dawn bug!
Just double press the side button
Yes double press not three times ....butbthis is only if theatre mode is disabled ....if its enabled 1 touch does it

I tested your solution. unfortunately it does not work for me. Even when I switched to airplane mode the screen keeps on staying back lighted black. I my opinion the screen should be off.
My android wear version is the LWX48T (5.0.1)
When the watch reaches 100%, backlight simply back on again!wtf?

OMG. I can't believe some of these people. We know what Theatre Mode is and how to enable it, that isn't the problem. After about one minute the BACKLIGHT COMES BACK ON with a black screen. It's obviously a bug, @johnomaz and I suggest we take this up in the Google support forums. People here barely read past the thread title before they think they have the answer.

Click 7 times on build in about. Then in developer settings set awake when charging to enabled - this is bug bit svreen is automatically off during charging. 100% working.
The easiest way to turn the screen off when charging is make sure the watch is still connected to your phone via blue tooth. When it is on the charger. Go into android wear on your phone. Go to settings. Click "AMBIENT MODE ON" wait till the screen dims. Then turn "AMBIENT MODE OFF" the watch screen will then turn off!!!

i think the problem is - that some users don't want to make interactions with the smartphone to get the display off while charging - like me
i tried a lot with the developer options but i didn't get it to work.
sometimes the display turns off completetly, sometimes not ...
now i use slumber again ... i hope motorola will fix this asap
Here is what I do .. works EVERY TIME I do this .. which is every night.
1) Put watch in Theater Mode
2) Put watch on charger
3) Press side button
Watch stays off until I take it off the charger, press the side button to turn the screen on, and then I turn theater mode back off for the day. Has worked every time for me since I got my watch.
There is a Free app in the Google Play app store called "slumber" that turns the face off while charging.
