But how otherwise to convince people to always leave their surveillance devices phones switched on?! I had a oneplus 3t that would wake itself for alarms, shame it broke eventually.
You know what’s funny. I was investigating the hardware datasheets for the PinePhone and looking at the RTC module and just like PC RTC chips there is an option to trigger an interrupt/power on when a certain time is met. That means that there appears to be no reason this couldn’t be a current feature on probably all modern smartphones. Just lack of software support.
How about letting damn alarms to run even when the phone is turned off? We lost this ancient feature moving away from dumb phones.
Afaik Huawei phones have or had that.
@iturnedintoanewt @otter Yeah, that must be the famous “price for progress”. 😜
