It is a feature of realtime clock (RTC) included on the phones (and PC's). RTC is always on to keep the clock on correct time even when your phone/pc is off. You can also program your RTC to do things at certains times - such as turning on your phone/PC.

If you want to do this on pc, search for "ACPI wakealarm" to see how it can be done.

Not possible. While off the cellular modem is off, too. Only the basic core system (clock, charging support, ...) is alive in the power off state.

Well if the GSM module is powered down there's no chance of that working...

If you read the manual then you'll know it.

Not only it's not possible, I REALLY don't want anyone remotely activating stuff in my phone. What is this, the US? (ha!)

You can have War and Peace audiobook as a ringtone if you wish.

Do you mean it auto-shuts off after a while? That's good, you might not be there and there's little you can do while other people wish you had something terminal.
