You may need to power off your phone, maybe for a meeting or perhaps to save battery and then you obviously want it to be back powered on. But you cannot do this religiously every time you go to a meeting or you go sleeping, also sometimes you may even forget to switch it on after turning it off. In order to address the issue, some companies these days provide auto power on/off features in their phones. But what about other phones? Well, don’t worry, today I’m gonna talk about ways to schedule auto power on/off on Android.
