Having dismissed the alarm today, I actually managed to turn on Jolla from turned-off status. I do not really know how, but I first tried to dismiss and failed. Second attempt succeeded and Jolla was unexpectedly booted.

I will try to reproduce this behaviour.

Since it regrettably is not a feature I call it a bug.

I would rather it was a feature, as requested here: https://together.jolla.com/question/28517/turn-on-jolla-from-the-alarm/

The phone boots to act dead to show the alarm based on boot reason being = rtc. If the device happens to reboot while already in act dead, boot reason is probably something else -> boots to ui.

So most likely explanation is that this is just a side effect of something else going wrong.

Is there something I could look for to support you with more information?

@lakutalo: If you still remember when it happened, getting the entries around that time from /var/log/systemboot.log could be useful.

So it does actually act exactly like N9.

I'd say it is fairly easy then to make that behaviour configurable; if user wants to wake up the device on an alarm just check the boot reason in startup and override it if so desired to het the full UI

@juiceme: I'm assuming that you are talking about "power up after" alarm feature - for that the changes are needed to alarm ui and possibly timed (dsme shuts down from act dead mode immediately after there is no reason to stay in there - in this case: when alarms are dealt with -> the sw stack above it needs to change the target mode to user before declaring all alarms dismissed). Overriding boot reason is not needed.

@spiiroin I was thinking of a quickfix; just patch init so that it checks for a toggle if user wants to wake the device up on alarm event, and if it is active then proceed like bootreason=pwr_key (or the equal state on Jolla)

There'd be no need on the alarm UI to select whether to boot it up or shut it down, that would be a specific setting alltogether.
