[Q] Alarm When Phone is Off - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok i keep it straight..
Its my first Android device (The S4.)
Switching from my nokia c7 i've had this issue of alarm not going off when phone's off..
Actually i faced this problem that day when i had only 4% battery left (obviously it wasnt going to last that night)
So i turned off the phone and thought the ALARM would wake me up the next day..( as my nokia always did )
But to my surprise it didnt...
I did search for some solution on xda but no luck..
But then i saw the link of alarm working WITH PHONE OFF on the Rival HTC ONE..(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406083)
So i was wondering whether the devs would be able to make some app..(Or refer me if theres any as i couldnt find one..)
Thanks for your precious time..
Regards.
Me
EDIT : So i was going though some more stuff on this matter and found something relevent..
Like there is a real time clock running on pc (that keeps time even when its off)..
Maybe HTC does use that to make its ONE power on ..
I think some files in the kernel can be edited for some progress on our s4 ( I am completely a noob and have no idea about kernels n all , i just read it somwhere)..
Maybe some real pro can help us out here, by studying htc one's files.. and try to make it work on some other 'SmartPhones'.

+1 to that plenty of time phone nearly dead and would love to do this if possible

The problem is that some 'smartphones" never really turn off.
My Blackberry Storm was one of those and my guess is that the previous phone you had didn't either.
If the phone is in deep sleep mode, then it can wake up.
If on the other hand, it's off, and I mean really off, there is nothing you can do.
The current crop of Android phones turn off; not go into a deep sleep.

Then how can HTC one do it..
I mean it may go to deep sleep..
But can't our s4 go to deep sleep..?

When your screen is off your phone is in deep sleep. At least should be i dont know how they did it but when you turn off android phone its off. No alarm. Maybe they have modified fly mode and altered frequencies for cpu gpu etc to be just enough to ring alarm with almost zero power consumption. But again its not off. I miss that too. Its like where to **** is my charger or hope my alarm rings

With screen off battery goes down by more than 8-10%
I don't think that's deep sleep.. (in deep sleep battery shouldn't drain more than 2-3%..)
Yup if HTC can do that y cant Samsung.. Or other devs..

It's not a matter of firmware/software (which you clearly don't understand), it's a hardware thing. The hardware isn't capable of it.

You probably didn't read some of the replies on that thread..
It doesn't work on AOSP or other roms but only on SENSE rom..
So it is A MATTER of firmware./software..
So I think it can be achieved..

Check your apps. I have 4% over night data off. Once i broke power button on lg p990 so few days i had to live with no deep sleep to be able to turn screen on with volume buttons and man, drain was over 15%/hour.

Dude only 4%,Thats great for you..
Do you use any battery app.. Or its by default..?
I've removed one phone lock app which did save me about 7% drain but still cant get it below 8%..for ( 8-9 hours of sleep )
But i'd still love this alarm feature..

Just test it and no, it does not work.

Yes. Software-based. The question is that if a 3rd party app have access to the system to create an "auto on" or if is something that needs to be manage on the OS itself. Maybe with root access?

Battery at 48% after 17 days and 18 hours without charge.

Hey guys,
I live in the uk and went to Bulgaria for 16 days. I left my S3 home and took an older phone with me. Didn't want my samsung stolen, etc.
So, before I left the house I charged the phone up and left it in airplane mode.
I got back more than 2 weeks later to find the phone still on in standby mode with 48% of battery left. Meaning that it could go for about 34 days in airplane mode with one charge.
I know we can't do much with this info but I felt the need to share it.

That's awesome. My sgs2 can only make it for about a week in airplane mode, with a 2100mah extended battery.
Are you using the stock ROM? Looks like touchwiz icons from the screenshot you posted.

Everything is stock unbranded uk. Still on ICS.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
So in order to get great battery life all we need to do is never turn the screen on and never use it as an actual phone, great find!
I bought my s3 from cex (a popular exchange chain here in UK) and when I got the phone it was at 8% charge with 34 days of standby. The phone was left on, without sim card inserted, but with WiFi on, even if wasn't connected to any network. I thought it was pretty cool as the same happened with a one x I bought two weeks before, always from cex, and in the same condition the HTC was on 8 days standby time when it discharged completely in my hand
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Nice!!!
Actually there is a point to this...
I think that this is a very interesting post. Why?
Because I suspect that for most people, there are times of the week when they don't actually use the phone or even need it available to take calls but (like me) don't want to have to turn it off at night and turn it on again in the morning.
So, using a tool like Llama, you can set your phone automatically to put itself into Airplane mode at night and to reconnect in the morning - so extending your stand-by time.
(Note: I actually go further than this - and put mobile data on only 3 minutes every 30 when screen is off. And I get great battery time - or would do if I didn't use the screen so much!!)

Poor Battery Performance of my S 2

Hello everyone,
My S2 only last for 10-13 hours and it drains battery too fast. Tried everything and nothing happened.
In my phone i disabled almost everything which drain battery.
No Facebook
No auto syn of Gmail
Access location is off.
GPS Off
Soft key light/Vibration off
No skype
Disabled Accu weather app
Disabled many others bloat ware
Brightness is set at almost zero level
Better Battery Stats show connectivity wake lock. i think ghis the main problem for drain.
And plz tell me how can i set my phone to only gsm. There is no option for that in phone. In setting it says GSM / wcdma and only wcdma. I set it at gsm/wcdma. Am from Pakistan and here there is no 3g/wcdma.
And if by dialing *#*#4636#*#* i choose gsm, it comes back to gsm/wcdma. Is it draining battery?
<nvm, didn't read properly...>

what ROM are you using ??
What!?
You wrote "My S2 only last for 10-13 hours and it drains battery too fast."
On attached screenshot you have 80% left after 6 hours of usages whereas 48% is used by Screen and 17% is used by Boat Browser.
You have to expect about 1~1½ % drain per hour ... even if you don't use your phone.
Screen drains a lot depending of your amount of Brightness! If you can get 4 hours Screen On, your happy.
From what I can see ... your battery time is totally normal!
I have Stock rom ICS 4.0.4
My cellphone is branded version and it comes from 3 Mobile UK.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
no its not normal.. today i charged it and not use it for 2 hours.. i put it on airplane mode and leave it for 2 hours after 100% charge, to check the partial wakelocks.
I thought this time connectivity service wakelock doesn't appear but it does.
i thought connectivity service wakelock is due to mobile signal but when i put it on airplan mode for 2 hrs this partial wakelock still appear.

Hmm , I am not a Fan of ICS though, but the battery time which you have shared (Just Saw it) LOL , it is totally fine , and secondly , use a safe kernel to root the phone (PhilZ Kernel) link is in my signature , and then Flash NeatROM Lite v4.0 , my battery lasts easily 18-20h and i am a heavy user of the phone with Calls , Messaging , FB , Twitter, Whatsapp, Viber & Tapatalk

PLS STOP with all this Juice Defender nonsense! A task killer often will drain your battery even more ... some processes will just restart again after you have killed it.
On newer Android version (GB and ICS) I haven't found any task killers that actually prolonged my battery time.
Adjust your screen brightness as low as possible, use a dark backgrounds and themes, get rid of unnecessary Widgets and Live Screen backgrounds, Sync Mail, Calendar, Twitter only when needed ... and then you will be fine :good:

i do know it, i have been investigating about it without much success.
Mainly i can make it dissapear for half day if i use WIFI, once wifi is enabled the wake lock dissapears when i stop using wifi or do an experiment with it.
but somehow the error comes back once in a while, after a reboot, or after charging it.
no kernel fix it, no Rom fix it, im putting my hopes on CM

there are pre-rooted stock roms which are not supposed to increase the flash counter.
And i confirmed it, i toggled FD and the wakelockappeared, changed roms and tried that again, and the WL dissapeared.
But still my battery life sucks though, getting a honami when its out.

honami is the code name for the i1(naming confirmation pending from sony, will be disclosed at IFA or so we hope).
after A LOT of hate which went throught the phone, i updated the arrow rom to 5.1, deactivated FD, and nothing,i was getting 10% in 3 hours, for some reason i dont remember i rebooted the phone, and the darn phone still have the same charge from yesterday te phone have 24 hours of uptime (taking in account i have done some serious undervolt to the phone). i was getting about an hour per % an a half with hangouts and whatsapp freezed and in NO use or just checking the bat.
Not bad but too much work to have a "regulary updated" phone to work properly.
now i dont even know what will happen when i recharge the phone again what kind of behaivor will have this darn non-optimized phone I'll be reporting what happens.

You can try many things, also the remove battery if you want to do that, its a firmware fault, I even tryed running total stock for some days after full recovery, it comes back. Only fix i have so far is restart the phone a few times untill it works again, then it can work for few hours or sometimes a day. resetting cache moving battery etc. shouldn't help at all. atleast I dont see the logic in removing the battery if you wipe cache...? Someone please explain what els you achieve!
Yeah I'm having the same " android os" wakelock since the latest mj7 update and it's killing the battery! Reboots didn't help much, I'll try the advice above for clearing cache and if it works

For how long have it worked for you? I tried this thing aswel, still ended in a no deep sleep state.. :/
What @onyxogen said makes sense now. I know that on one or 2 occasions, my battery lasted normally and i think i might have started using it right out of the socket. I mean start using it after battery full while still plugged in then disconnect later. But i did it without knowing then... I will try for real now and know for sure.

I did. Doesn't work
I posted this in many posts so far, because I am ****ing mad about no quick optimization for this "so called flagship"! The no deep sleep problem is ****ing huge, they must install something into the kernel that can regonize what apps have multiple uses of alarm_manager or something!
In the end, this problem is nothing we can do anything about. As it is samsung/android that have made the problem. I even tried this restart phone and unplug from charger while screen are on... My phone since 6hours ago have had 2m and 37s deep sleep..
I think it is so poor, that we pay so much for a phone and then the only thing samsung do is just put their trust in having android kitkat fixing it, instead of being proactive....

This would only work if it would be the only reason that stops your phone from entering deep sleep of course, so it's far from sure that it works.
For me it works since 2 weeks, but I have to repeat it every time I disconnect. Sometimes I have longer periods of no deep sleep but if I just plug it out while charging than the bug appears every time if I remember correctly.
It's an partly known android bug, since 4.1 I believe.
Note that you have to use the display for a while before unplugging!

Hmm gotta try use my phone for scrolling forums and mail in the morning then.. didnt know that I would have to use it for some time first.. It actually sounds like that could be the problem, if you say its a well known bug since 4.1... because everyday i do get it fixed after a few resets and then it works rest of the day... untill the next day when its been charged..

glanceviewservice causing huge battery drain

Hi Guys,
Bought Note 3 few days back, biggest battery drainer as I see from better battery stats is "glanceviewservice" as kernel wake lock.
I dont even use this feature, is there a way to disable it ?
