http://www.ubuntugeek.com – Simple ACPI wakeups manager with some additional options and Unity integration where neccessary. You can select an exact date or relative time to set the alarm and check it's current status. After setting the alarm your machine should wake up on the specified date. In theory it's hardware-dependent but Real Time Clock Alarm (the real name of the feature) was in ACPI Specs since revision 1.0 published back in 1996. One major notice though: some portable devices don't wake up while on battery to prevent accidental damage and battery discharge. (...)Read the rest of Wake on Plan – UI f (HowTos)

Alarms can be a dime a dozen on the Google Play Store, but Alarm Clock Ultra Free is an app worthy to be set apart from the rest.  Not only is it extremely functional and effective but it’s also aesthetically pleasing to any eye.

ACPID Question 3 years 23 weeks ago

Hi!

I have the following question... My SUSE is 11.0. In boot.local i'm setting ACPI alarm with /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm I've checked with /proc/driver/rtc that it's ok.

In cron i have a task that will do some job and then shutdown -h now when executed.

All,

We are soon launching a silent alarm solution for Android. Solution consists of a wristband and an Android App. You manage alarms in your Andriod App and sync them to the band via buletooth.

On an alarm event the wrist band vibrates to gently wake or alert the wearer.

Which one do you use and works well on JB? Gentle Alarm was my favourite for a long time on GB, but today it crashed and didn' wake me up.

Can someone please explain me this time stamp discrepancy in the kernel log?

We wrote an app to wake up Android at a specified time and the app leverages AlarmManager API and sets:

AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP

The app works as intended and wakes up at an user specified time correctly. But there is a discrepancy in the kernel timestamp.
