Alarm and power off...

[Guest boutros]

Evenin'...

Don't know if this has been raised already, but it's pissed me off the last couple of days. I took my phone away for a few days, took the charger, but forgot the wee 'connecty' bit that enables the charger to connect. To cut a long story short... I turned off my phone at night to conserve battery... but my alarm is still set to go off in the morning. When I turn on my phone the alarm immediately goes off because it is after the time it was supposed to. Does anyone else think this is daft?! Either the phone should power up an set off the alarm or if it is turned off at the time the alarm was supposed to go off it shouldn't kick in as soon as it is turned on. It's stoopid!

That's all I have to say.... expect...

love the phone though... despite the flaws... and the inevitable costs.... please, orange, please... think about your customers not your profits!!

Out.

Phone should wake up on alarm or upcoming appointment. This is a reasonable behaviour and most PDAs (notably Palm to which I find I am more attached than I thought :D ) do that.

I would classify this as a bug.

I agree that this is a bug. I also had this bug with my (3rd.) Palm which needs resetting now and again. Surely Bill Gates can get someone to design a wake-up system - I really do not want to leave my phone on all night especially if I have to turn off the connection to Orange.

Has anyone got an answer from anyone at Microsoft?

Not a bug, but a wishlist really.

Nokias don't do it?

Nokias don't eat batteries like that so you aren't even tempted to turn them off. They are phones, unlike the SPV which is a computer with a phone.

Its a phone with a "computer", officially.

Oops, of course, that's why I bought it ... :oops:
