Do you switch wifi and data off at night?

[thegame161]

I use an app called Smart Profiles. At 12.00 am, it turns WiFi / Mobile Network and AutoSync off, and then turns them all on again at 6 am. This is so I don't get woken up by messages and e-mails. I don't charge the phone overnight. I have docks in all my vehicles and the phone gets some type of a charge at some point, every few days. It never runs below 35% for the most part.

I could easily go 2 days between charges if the phone wasn't getting any type of charging. Topping off the battery with a full overnight charge each night would only serve to use up charge cycles, not that it's any issue, because I know I'll have a new phone before the battery starts to die, but it just isn't necessary for me to charge it daily. I never run out of battery and always have a fully charged spare in my wallet anyway.

Might try that app thanks. Be easily than turning things off manually all the time.

You can use blocking mode if you just want to disable notifications for texts and email

No I leave everything on, I just put it on silent. It uses about 2-4% in about 8 hours. The battery life on this phone is incredible compared to past devices I have owned.

I know, but this actually works better, is easier to setup and conserves battery cycles. I have it doing other things as well when it goes into night mode...

I tried blocking mode last night but notifications still come through and dropped 6% overnight

I have noticed that when I leave mine on the charging pad overnight, once it gets to 100% & green LED lights up, the pad powers down & so it stops charging even as the device slowly loses charge by the morning. If you take the device off the pad & put it back on, it quickly charges back to 100% then repeats the power down. I'm also amazed how fast the QI pad charges the phone. It's not much slower than using the standard USB 3.0 cable.

On here. I use an app to block all but family calls in case there's an emergency. Phone is on the charger when I sleep.

You Don't need a app, that's exactly what blocking mode does. I have it set so only my wife and kids would get through. If your still getting alerts then your doing something wrong.
