Hmm. Well, I think that seeing as there are multiple applications that constantly run in the backgound, the answer is yes, the auto on/off does indeed work while apps are running in the background. However, Moodio may be different. I am not sure, as I do not use it. However, this function should still work properly.
I must be missing something. Even with nothing running, I set it to turn off at 12:35 pm then back on at 12:40 - it never turned off. I'll have to double check my settings
Well, here's what I found - i hope it helps others.
If the BB is already turned on, and I set it to go off in a few minutes, then on again a few minutes after that, it does not work.
BUT...
If I set the BB to turn on in a few minutes, then off a couple minutes later, THEN, I manually turn off the BB, it does turn on at the set time, then off at the set time.
In other words, it seems that the ON has to come before the off.
Just FYI, I also noticed that if you use auto off and you are charging also. The LED will flash until fully charged the stays on. I charge by my bedside so this was annoying enough for me to have to just remember to set to vibrate at night and leave it on.
Not quite yet, I'd still think if it's 10 pm I should be able to set it to turn off at 11, then on again at 6 am, rather than set it to go on at 10, off at 11, than have to manually turn the device off now. I'd like to see if anyone else has noticed this.
