I am starting a project that will require an android device to turn on by itself when there is enough charge, how can i accomplish this, is there any way to access some sort of bios inside the device that will force the device to run when there is enough power???

Thank you any help that you may be able to provide.

Are you going to build that device?

When it's turned off?
And let's think about it a little bit. You say "when there is enough charge" --
So if you turn it off while it has "enough charge" it will just turn right back on?
The only way for the charge to increase is when it's plugged in to power -- why not turn it on as soon as you plug it in?

And are we talking about your own phone? Or someone else's? I doubt someone wants your app to turn their phone on unexpectedly, unless that's the whole purpose of the app, in which it's too bad it won't work.

i am sorry, let me clarify. i will be running an android phone that will be recharged using solar energy, so when the phone runs out of energy it should eventually be recharged by the solar power source, and after being recharged i would like the phone to turn back on, but i am not sure how to accomplish this the only thing that i am hoping is that there exist an internal battery that is similar to a bios battery in a computer, and from there maybe if some sort of android bios is able to monitor the charge turn the phone one when the charge is complete.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Nice. And I provided a detailed answer. Hope it's interesting enough, but I think you already know the article I referenced. There is something else... :-)

There is an anecdote about this:

A KGB (FIS) officer calls some citizen who has been under investigation for a while, asking him:
— Excuse me, you don't know me, but I really need to talk to you on some very important matter; could you spend a few minutes?
— Ah! Well, hello, KGB officer!
— How can you know that I am a KGB officer?
— Oh, simply. You managed to reach me on the mobile phone which was turned off (!).

As to the energy needed to power your device, these days it's not a problem anymore, as you can always get power over IP: please see my April's CodeProject article: Power Over IP: Testing of the First Experimental Facility[^] :-).

Good luck,
