Am I the only one having this problem? I'm quite new to this handset, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong. the alarm only goes off if the phone is left switched on. Any ideas?

It's not a bug. There's nothing to fix.Does anyone know if this has been fixed in the latest ROM?
When I power off the phone. Usually alarms work even when phones are powered off, at least that's always been the case with my previous SE, Nokias, LGs etc.
No phone i've ever owned has done *anything* when powered off.
Are you sure youre not confusing powered off with standby?
It would be much more power saving to enable the airplane feature when you don't need your hero to be connected anymore (for instance during the night).
I would like to say if i turn somthing of i want that device to be off. By having somthing turn on when its off defeats the object of an off button. Thing about a theater, cinima or airplane.
Stick it in airplane mode if you want the phone to still do things.

Any smartphone as well? It would have to boot up its OS and start necessary system services for sound playback first, which might be a bigger battery drain than leaving it in standby overnight. Especially if you leave it in airplane mode, as someone already suggested.I think this guy is not a suitable person to consult for mobile phone problems. Any phone I have bought would sound it alram when the phone is turned off.
Thanks for your opinion, i'll be sure to ignore it.I think this guy is not a suitable person to consult for mobile phone problems. Any phone I have bought would sound it alram when the phone is turned off.
No phone I've ever owned has had this feature, and frankly, it would annoy the hell out of me to have an alarm go off after I'd turned my phone off when going to the cinema or something....Any phone I have bought would sound it alram when the phone is turned off.
One more thing: If you're using Apps killers make sure you're not killing the clock!
It all depends what you mean by "off" and "on". Remember here we are dealing with a smartphone, which will do all sorts of things older phones can't. In order to make sure it is not doing anything at all you can power it off - i.e. you hold down the off switch until the menu comes up and then choose "Power off". That does what it says on the tin - it turns off the power to everything and without power the phone has no functions running. So no operating system, no phone calls, no alarms ..... nothing. When you switch it "on" the power is returned and the o/s boots itself up (eventually).
