I'm sorry if this was asked before. I was looking for a alarm program for my Tilt that works with the phone off. My original RAZR and even a nokia I had 6 years, had the ability to be turned off and the alarm would go off at the set time. My tilt is draining to fast to stay on overnight and I don't want to leave it charging overnight. Thanks in advance

do you mean fully turned off or the screen just turned off? my tilt wakes up fine when the alarm goes off. i do, however, prefer my razr alarm because i can flip it open/shut for snooze without even opening my eyes!

Turning the tilt off should really just place it into standby mode. The only way I know to really turn off a pocket pc is by removing the battery.

When you press the power button, your alarms should still fire just fine, and your phone calls will still ring too.

How fast is your tilt discharging anyway? Why don't you want to leave it charging over night?

I'm mean off, not in sleep mode(Holding the power down till it asks if you want to continue with powering off). I posted in the battery drain thread. My Tilt lasts about three hours. It used to last about 8-10 with everything I do during the day. I installed some apps and BAM three hours. The apps aren't even running(at least I can't find out if they are) But like I said, I had the original RAZR and some Nokias(Can't remeber the model it was the from about six years ago, every company had it.) and you could set your alarm and turn the phone off and it would turn on and ring and the right time. I don't know if it is a hardware issue or not.

Personally I'd be more concerned with fixing the battery life problem.

Take a full system backup using something like Sprite or SPB and then do a hard reset. Add back the programs you need one by one to find out which causes the problem

What he said! There is something wrong if you are only getting 3 hours of batter life.

As you stated, when you turn off the phone, it is off. There are no programs that will run in the background whatsoever, so finding an alarm program that will work when it is off is going to be impossible.

When you install Windows Mobile 6.1 and run KaiserTweak to configure all the settings for battery performance, your battery life should almost double.

also, does the battery drain fast if you put it in airplane mode?

I know this is not exactly what you are looking for but the program that I have found to be the best is PocketAlarm, it has TONS of settings but I dont think any of them are "sound alarm when device is off"
