Auto on/off for E61?

2 replies · 2,460 views · Started 31 August 2006

I just migrated to the E61 from a Blackberry 8700. One of the BB's best, simple features was its auto on/off function, which allows you to tell it when to shut off and on, including options for weekdays and weekends. Anyone know if there's an app that allows this for the E61?

Since the E61 takes 45 seconds to boot it would be kind of nice to have it all revved up and waiting when I get out of the shower at 07:30!

There isn't such function built-in and it won't be possible for a third party app to do that since third party apps have no way to switch on the device once it's off. The closest you could find would be an app that can automatically changes your profile at a given time. There are already apps that do that for the E61 i believe.
