Is there a way to have the phone turn off/on automatically like my BB 8900 did? Thanks in advance.

@ film -That wouldn't be automatic, would it?

to the op: settings >> battery manager >> battery mode >> custom battery saver

i believe phone calls still come through, but the data stops syncing after 15 minutes of inactivity from the time you set.

What do you mean by this? Like for the phone to wake up if you get a notification?

On my BB, I could set the time for the phone to turn off say at 11 p.m. and turn back on at 7 a.m. Just wondering if this phone had a feature like this or not. Thanks for the replies. I will have many questions. LOL

Ok, my memory is fuzzy, but I thought that I read somewhere a while back that there is an app that does that on a rooted phone. Yes, I know, I am full of details, maybe I am thinking of an app that would schedule a reboot, not a separate off/on time.

OK, found an app that will put your phone in and out of airplane mode at a specified time. It is called Airplane Autoswitch.

Not quite sure why you would want to do that though? For the battery life? If thats the case I wouldnt worry about it. The batterys a beast on this phone.

Someone would want this feature for many reasons, no alerts while sleeping, save battery, no phone calls while sleeping, no chance of anything while in a meeting, etc. Its a simple feature I too miss from the world of blackberry.

Add in BB's few missing features, and android would be absolutely perfect.

Yea the airplane mode app sounds like your best bet

i have another question though.. Is there any app that i can use to permanently put my phone on vibrate mode? See, what happens is... when my phone is switched to vibrate mode, an accidental touch of the volume rocker immideatly activates the ringer, also when i play a game and adjust the volume in the game, after closing it the phone is no longer on vibrate mode, this really bothers me because i've been caught couple of times when i though my phone was set to vibrate and suddenly someone would call me and it would ring loudly..... I know its an android OS limitation, just really miss this simple feature on my bb bold 9700 where i could just set my phone to vibrate and never having to toggle with it back and forth... i am currently using "simple Sound Profile widget" but its simply a shortcut for switching sound profiles instantly rather than just going into setting all the time. thanks guys!

Some people just want to sleep without random beeps throughout the night. I personally don't mind it, but I do know people that want certain quiet hours.

My point exactly! I use the airplane app and it works pretty good.

I actually found what i was looking for... it called "vibrate mode by force" a very small simple app works perfectly..
