Alarm with the phone off

[GAB]

Hi,
I would like to use the alarm with the phone (FP3) off, so I do not keep the phone on overnight.
Any suggestion? Please.
Thanks!

The short answer to my knowledge is: not possible (it worked with FP1 but not with any of the later models).

Maybe if you root the phone.

However I set the phone to aeroplane mode late at night and even for a long ‘night’ it only uses 2% of the battery and no problem with any alarm.

Maybe? Please, how you root the pone? And then, how do you do for the alarm thing?

Thanks FYI,

It sounds weird that instead of progress from version 1 to 3, Fairphone do the contrary (in my modest opinion…

Hi I think you will find it is an Android change not a Fairphone one. Fairphone use the stock Android OS currently.

Rooting the phone:

EDIT: This is not advice to do so
Further I can find no app that does allow the alarm to work even when rooted. Sorry a bit of a wild goose chase.

First you will have to unlock the bootloader then root.

• It’s all a bit of a chore and unlocking the bootloader will wipe any personal data, so be sure to back up contacts and any images.
• If you have an SD card be sure to format it as portable

Bootloader Unlocking Code for Fairphone - Fairphone

Is there an offline version of the bootloader unlock code generator?

This started out as a bug I was stuck on, but while typing it out it “fixed itself”. “Help” still seems like the most appropriate category. The FP3 bootloader unlock form (Bootloader Unlocking Code for Fairphone 3 - Fairphone) was being quite buggy for me. I got some errors: Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://factory.fairphone.com/api/unlock-codes/<My IMEI>/<My Serial>' from origin 'https://www.fairphone.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present…

How to root the Fairphone 3?

I would be really happy to buy a FP3 as soon as possible. But a crucial pre condition for me is to use a firewall etc. So the FP3 mus be rootable. In another threat (Fairphone 3 operating system + warranty - #9 by BertG) i read, that there is a howto already somwhere. Can someone provide the link or a howto?

A little guide to... using SD cards

Android 6 introduced new options for using an SD card in your phone. When you format an SD card or insert a new SD card, you’ll have two options: Internal/phone/adopted storage or external/portable storage. The option that most closely matches older Android versions is the external option. There are a couple of things to take into account when choosing which option works best for you: TL;DR: Formatting as internal will allow you to store apps on it and have it encrypted with the system interna…

I don’t see how rooting helps here and giving advice about some procedure that likely doesn’t help at all and has some dangers if never done before plus other sideeffects (like e.g. some banking apps no longer working) seems the wrong way to go IMHO.

It wasn’t meant as advice just information to consider. which I now consider will not help

I’ve amended the previous posts to note that and that I have not found an app that works when the phone is off, so apologies to @GAB et all.

Why is it necessary to switch the phone off at night?

[GAB]

I guessed so, no problem.

Why is necessary to keep the phone on at night?

@GAB

So the alarm works hardly any battery loss, and no interruptions in aeroplane mode.
