Why does my Nokia Lumia 635 switch itself back on when charging?

[Windows Central Question]

I connect my Nokia Lumia 635 to the charger and it gegins charging OK. I then power down the phone, the display says "goodbye" and the phone switches off. However, a couple of seconds later, the phone switches itself back on again. It does not appear to be possible to switch off the phone when it is on charge. Is this intentional or a fault? Is there a solution?

Intentional .
​Same thing for me on 630.

Nokia Lumia Devices where not built to charge while switched off...

I agree, its normal as I tried that with all the Lumias that I owned.

That's for all Lumias. My 720/620 do the same thing

All Lumia devices switch on automatically when connected to a charger.

I think that is a good feature the battery app lets you know when it is fully charged.

I'm new to Nokia/Windows phones and this "feature" has had me really confused. I've never had a phone that has switched itself back on when charging. There is no mention of this in any of the Nokia or Windows Mobile literature that I could find. It took me ages to come across the answer here. Personally, I fail to get it. When my phone is on charge overnight - what most people do - I do not want to be disturbed by sound or visual notifications. I now have to remember to turn on airplane mode at the end of the day. Weird.

Use quiet hours to automatically silence your phone at a specified time each day. It will also re-enable your sounds at a time you set in the morning or whenever works for you.
Quiet hours is found under settings.
