Do You Turn Off Your Phone Regularly?

[Ed Briggs]

I turn off my phone very frequently, every night before i go to bed.

Same here. I like having a "fresh" start every day.

I turn mine off a few times a week, or if I need a quick charge before an evening out.
My 'real' voice phone turns itself on for an alarm. Battery lasts a week or more anyway.
Who's jealous now?!

 

[Haalcyon]

You could prolly get some money for that. How old is it?

 

[shaleem]

No, I don't. I do the occasional reboot though.

Samsung GT-E2121. Love this phone.

Bought it summer 2012.

I never turn mine off, stays on 24/7. However, at 22:00 if goes in to Do-Not-Disturb mode until 07:00. The only thing that come thru are messages and call from people who are stared in my contact list. And my Alarm Clock.

Are those features in the Note 4 settings, or are you using an app like Tasker? Thanks.

Off every night... unless I need the alarm.

It is stock Android Lollipop 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5.

You should have Device - Blocking Mode, like the Note 3.

I usually turn off to a few hours before bed to get it fully charged then I'll just put it on airplane mode before I sleep. If I do turn off to charge while sleeping I'll usually use an old phone as an alarm.

Hate to admit that, but I can do better. I am still using my Motorola V551, purchased in the fall of 2005! It's not that I haven't wanted to upgrade to a smart phone before now, but I'm just frugal (aka cheap)! Plus, I have an Android tablet that helps, too. But I'm so tired of texting with the dialpad of this compact phone. I'm more than ready to finally step up to a smartphone. I think I'm on my fourth battery for this phone---the last two batteries I bought were under $2.00.

I've got one better, my aunt's old Motorola Accompli 009 from 2002! It's what I use as an alarm and occasionally to take notes when my phone is off. But mostly just use my old BlackBerry Bold 9900 when not using my main device.

Well, I had about 8 of the Sony Ericsson P910i 'smartphone' between 2004 and 2012 when I got my first Android Samsung S2.
There was a good thread about old phones.

I can beat all of you. I have an...iPhone 4. Top that! It still works too. I had the battery and screen replaced.

 

[iknockout]

Not so often - only when I really know I dont need it soon, which is rare.

Sorry, but I'm afraid I can. DH is currently using iPhone 3. He's looked at the iPhone 6 and is ready to upgrade to that whenever I'm ready to step up to my new Android. (I've tried to tell him the benefits of an Android phone, but the truth is he will be happy activating the phone and using it exactly as it was given to him, so the customization of an Android doesn't have the appeal to him that it does to me.)

Usually every couple days I'll do a reboot.

Perfect, Thank you very much! I found it and set it up. I didn't own the Note 3. Went from Note 2 (not sure if that had it) to the Note 4. Love learning new features of my phone!
