Reminder app that keeps alerting every 5 minutes or so until confirmed?

I've used rtm, todoist, and many others. Problem is it alerts once and, if I don't notice it, I don't get the reminder. It is in my notifications, but I don't look at my notifications. (you need to pull down... But out of sight out of mind.). Is there a reminder app that when I set a reminder, it will remind me every few minutes until I acknowledge the alert?

Forget it, I found an app that does pretty much what I'm looking for. It's called alarm and pill reminder. It continuously makes noise until you snooze or dismiss.

Maximum power saving mode

Hi all,

I wish to count my steps and specifically use the PACER app in maximum power saving mode.
I have set the special access to allow use in data saver and this has not rectified it and allowed all permissions, but when I turn the power saver on it does not count steps any ideas how to sort this?

I've not really used this mode myself, but I suspect power saver mode shuts down the sensors in your phone, to save battery consumption. And this includes the accelerometer, which is used to count your steps based on movement. Immediate solution is not to use power saver while you're working out with this Pacer app, or other pedometer and health tracker apps.

Data saver is only really for reducing the amount of wireless data your phone uses, like for if you have a limited allowance from your carrier. But that shouldn't affect health tracker apps though.

Nova is ok.
Personally, I like sleek and simple.

KISS (yes, it stands for what you think) is my favorite for quite some time.

At first, I did not think I was going to like it- but after about an hour I knew that it was what I wanted.

Nothing is faster, or makes your device easier to work with.

It actually learns your habits and becomes faster as you use it.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Help Decrypt SD Card Data on Same Device After Hard Reset

Nah. It doesn't offer any option to decrypt.

It says:
'This SD Card cannot be decrypted because it was encrypted on another device. .....'

Okay, so I read both the links you shared.
The former one sounds logical tho its old and you're probably right about the advanced encryption techniques which is why i'll make a copy of the sd card first.
Not trying the latter one because it needs root.

I will follow the sequence and then let's see. I'll update you. Thanks

S10e text customization

So I just switched carriers and upgraded my Galaxy s8+, which I really love, to this one. One of the features that I also really love seems to no longer be available. Did Android or Samsung do away with the text customization? It really bothers me that I can no longer do this.

I know this reply is a little late but you can still customize your wallpaper for individual contacts on the s10e. I know you've installed a different app for that so this is FYI for anyone who needs it.

Help Trying to allow exceptions through Do Not Disturb

Everbody's device is different, but on mine...

Settings
Sound
Do Not Disturb preferences
Automatic rules


You may need to activate Do Not Disturb mode first.
(not sure)

To do this, find the quick setting tile on your pull down menu that controls the ringer.
Tap it multiple times, and Do Not Disturb is one of the options.
(again, my device is not your device)

Cobra Kai

I tried watching some Cobra Kai, but it seems rather far fetched to me. Like are American high school students really into Karate fighting like that?

I've been in China for 12 years now, and from what I've seen not everyone is Kung Fu fighting.

Apeiron Vpn Free Vpn

In my opinion, Apeiron Vpn is very useful for people who do not know how to use vpn services and do not even understand what they are for. Vpn is a virtual private network that allows you to use the Internet while maintaining confidentiality, that is, if you want to visit your favorite site, no one will even know about it, also when checking your profile, and so on. All your actions become anonymous. Also recently I came across one firm PinpointVPN which provided several reviews on quality vpn services. I still use vpn because all my actions that I have done on the Internet become encrypted.

Help Hard press home button doesn't work

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried factory reset and that didn't help anything. I also took the phone to a Verizon store to see if there was some setting that I had wrong and they told me the settings looked good. So I think it must be a hardware problem. I'm going to send the phone back. In the meantime, I bought another S9 plus and that one seems to be working fine. Which also reinforces my conclusion that it was a problem with that phone itself.

Thanks again.
thanx for keeping us posted. i'm glad you got a replacement. hope you have better luck with this phone.
