Thanks.

 

Thanks.

I don't believe it that the phone has to be switched on for the alarm clock to work!!!!!

What's the purpose of the alarm clock if I have to first wake up to switch it on?

On alternate nights, when I go to bed I plug in the phone, but the charger is on a timer switch that comes on only at 4.30am. This is when my battery is at its lowest or totally flat. This has been my practice for the last 5 years. Now this has to go.

 

I read this on another thread.

For two mornings in a row, the alarm did not come on when my phone was switched off. Luckily I didn't overslept.

Can you confirm that the Galaxy S alarm will still work when the phone is switched off? Just to be sure, I am refering to the Clock application, Alarm, + Create alarm,...

 

Pressing power key once is not switching off, it's just screen locked.

Even a $20 Nokia has an alarm clock.

It's not a simple OS issue. A hardware clock is needed to run even when the OS is shut down.
