Does the alarm sound with the mobile off?

The most veteran around here will remember a very useful feature – which was not even considered as such – that mobile phones of yesteryear had, but which we lost after the arrival of smartphones. And, before the arrival of smartphones, phones could sound the alarm even if the terminal was off. But does this feature work on Android?

Is it possible to sound the alarm when the mobile is off?

Whether or not this function is included in a terminal does not depend on the manufacturer but the processor integrated into the smartphone. For example, most terminals with a MediaTek chip integrate a programmed ignition of the phone, which can be activated when setting the alarm so as not to miss it even if the terminal is turned off.

On the other hand, some devices with a Qualcomm processor, such as those from OnePlus or those from the Spanish firm BQ, also include an option of this type, which allows the automatic turning on and off of the terminal at a time predefined by the user.

Thus, by way of conclusion, we could confirm that it is not: the alarm does not sound when the mobile is turned off, although it is possible – as long as the device manufacturer has implemented it – to turn on the device a few minutes before it sounds using an alarm tool. Automatic on and off.
