A legitimate reason to do this would be if you're on a red-eye flight somewhere, and your alarm goes off. You can't turn it off because your special object or QR code or whatever is in your checked bag. Your only option is to either turn off your phone or uninstall.
- andai 2y ago>turn off your phone I was wondering about this, smartphones don't turn on when your alarm goes. (So you could just turn it off to bypass the "super alarm"?) I have vague memories that older cell phones used to turn on when the alarm would ring, but I might be imagining it.
- sebtron 2y agoYes, older phones would turn on to ring the alarm. At least the 3 I owned did, and they were all different brands.
- samtheprogram 2y agoSymbian was on a lot of different brands, so based on a sibling comment I’d say it was a Symbian feature.
- marcinostefano 2y agoNot really it was Siemens c35i era that have no problem with ringing alarm when switched off.
- vesinisa 2y agoYou're absolutely correct. At least Nokia Symbian phones had this feature.
- andai 2y agoI'm thinking about the old brick phones.
- xtracto 2y agoOoh sleep like an android app is crazy good at this. You can turn it off, volume down, and try yo uninstall all you like. The darn thing WILL sound. I like two of the puzzles it has : laugh out loud for some time, or should swear words
