Use case (now): - during the night the battery has run completely dry - plug in the charger and wait a couple of minutes until the battery has enough juice to start the phone - power on the phone by pressing the power button => lots to do and time consuming

New feature: - Setting to automatically power on the phone while charging

Use case (then): - just plug in the charger to the phone and after the battery has enough charge to phone turns itself on => easy and no hassle

...premium solution would be to have the phone ask if you want to have the power on or not: a) if the auto-start setting would be ON, it would auto-start if the users does not respond b) if the auto-start setting would be OFF, it would NOT auto-start if the users does not respond

...and yes, two minutes is not lifetime, BUT normally this is how my "empty phone battery" day goes: - I leave home for work and only notice in the car that the phone battery is empty when the bluetooth connection fails - I arrive at work and plug the phone to a charger - I notice that there is an emergency somewhere and rush away to fix some broken server etc - After some hours I remember/notice that my phone is still OFF... and there are a dozen end-users pissed off because they have not been able to reach the IT-dept :)

You might want to make this into a comment instead of an answer.

Yes - You are quite right - sorry

So you would have to have PIN disabled or auto power on wouldn't register to network anyway?

Yes, PIN disabled, but security code enabled - safe enough I think... (and a great feature in Jolla in my opinion - feg. N9 just sat there waiting for the security code not booting, while Jolla boots and does not wait for the code)

Counter-use case: You're on the go with a depleted battery. You happen to get a limited amount of time at a charging spot, but you don't need to use your phone right there.

Question: Do really want to turn automatically your phone on at that instant, or rather save all the charged power for a later occasion?

Conclusion: In a flat battery situation atleast I want maximum control over how battery is used and prefer not to have anything turned on by itself. Afterall, two minutes of your life isn't very much, is it? But two minutes of charge time on a phone might be crucial (eg. emergency calls).
