@Aleksander, yes but it is not only about the alarm clock. It is also about a phone call that You will not be able to answer if You don't know the battery is about to die. This is a bug #1420169.

@Matthias I do not think the idea is wrong. Wrong can be only the implementation. If the battery is 3 or 5 % You will not be able to do anything more with Your phone apart from switching off. If a phone starts to cry at20% You are right. Making a noise like a Nokia 3210 doesn't cost much energy! And one more thing: I don't know how about Siemens but in Nokia You could disable this notification. You will probably admit that this notification is very important in case when You set an alarm clock that is supposed to wake You up. At 5% a phone could switch for exaple to half-standby mode-disable the screen, turn offline, play a screaming warning signal and wait for an alarm clock to ring.

We handle with a small Linux computer! We can set some cron tasks etc. so it doesn't have to be an alarm clock. First of all we should be able to deactivate this notification and second thing is what I already wrote: at 5-7% remaining Your phone turns into a brick anyway. A sound notification doesn't do much harm to battery as long as the screen stsys off.
