I turn off my phone because of the way the alarm works. If the phone is on, the alarm will keep ringing until it is turned off. If the phone is off it rings for a few minutes and then stops. So I turn it off in order to be able to use the alarm to wake me up on Shabbos. If I wasn’t using the alarm I would probably turn it off to save the battery anyway.
