Alarm Clock

The alarm clock doesn't work when my phone is swiched off.
Does anybody know how to set it to work when the phone is swiched off.
I don't want to leave the phone swiched on all night.

Hi SkySnake

I wouldn't say that's it's pretty logic, that when the phone is swiched off that the alarm doesn't work. I have had a number of phones over the years and my last one being a Samsung. They all worked while swiched off. That's is why I asked my question.

This is my first Samsung device.

I reckon other Samsung phones have an alarm power-up function, which turns on the phone when your alarm goes off. The Function Guide (which likely is an overview of general Samsung device capabilities) downloadable here http://www.samsungmobile.com.sg/support/softwaremanuals/software.do?phone_model=GT-I9000&sw_type=UM indicates as much. See the section titled "Alarms".

For some reason, however, they did not include this function in the Fascinate. Strange decision, really, given that it's a relatively battery-intensive device and would have greatly benefited from having it.

Hello guys,

I do think its is a shame, that the alarm does not work while the phone is switched off. I got late for work today because of that. I too had other phones being Nokia mostly and one Samsung - all of them had the function to turn the alarm on , even when the phone is powered off. See the clock continues to work even when the phone is off, so WHY does it not turn ON the alarm ???
A friend has the HTC Desire. It turns off when its battery charge is low. But it continues to sound the alarm and even sound when emails come in.
So why the heck , Samsung Galaxy does not do it ? And dont flame that if I turned off my phone I meant not to hear a sound from it. I do hope this gets fixed, or combined with the clumsy GPS ... Ima gonna switch to HTC , which would be a shame. .. Get your act together , Samsung !
