I have used the auto on/off feature on my BBs for years. Recently upgraded to a Bold 9700 and tried setting the auto on/off feature. Found the feature and set it to the hours I wanted.
Phone turns off when it is scheduled but email notifications are still coming through when the unit is in the auto off mode.
I even tried turning it off using the power button and the notification that it is scheduled to turn back on ..... appears. Sent the phone an email and it still goes through and sounds the notification.
