Turn on the android phone

I had old phone with one interesting functionality, that was ability to turn on on scheduled time. Actually the procedure was 1. Set alarm 2. Turn off phone 3. Wait for time to pass and the phone will go on without user interaction. I really loved this function开发者_开发问答ality cause you have active phone (it wakes you up) in the morning but no one can bother you during the night by calling you...

How can I do that programmatically?

That isn't possible in Android. At least not exactly what you want.

You may set you phone to Airplane mode, or put sound and notifications in mute (this is what i do) for pre-set hours/days.

For this i use an application called Timeriffic ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alfray.timeriffic )

I have BLU studio 5.3 dual sim android and yes, it can power off/on based on schedule...but it seems to me that it is the only android phone around the globe that can do this ;-(

Thats an ideal scenario for the plane mode. In this mode it works like a simple device with no phone functions. You don't receive calls or sms and even wifi/3g is deactivated but the alarm will still wake you up.
