The battery in my old phone looks like the Goodyear blimp, should I still proceed?





That’s an understandable take, I hope that when he drags himself out of the ashes of his failed company, dusts himself off, and starts a new company when his bankruptcy ban expires, it’s a scooch more ethical to start with.



Tomb Raider 1.

I’m replaying the remastered trilogy for the first time since I was a teenager. The level design is outstanding. Very clever re-use of the same areas, just at different heights.

It’s inspiration from side-scroller prince of persia (also played this obsessively as a young child) is palpable. The movement system is revolutionary.

And the enemy progression is hilarious. First you fight some bats, then you fight some wolves, then you fight motherfucking Velociraptors, then a goddamned T-Rex. And thats not even close to the weirdest enemy you’ll fight. Boss battles are evenly spaced until they aren’t. when you have two boss battles immediately one after the other.

And then eventiually, you get to the pulsating flesh caves…


I also seem to have a fully housebroken windows 10. I know my PC has TPM, so it should be compatible with windows 11, but so far, it hasn’t shit inside

Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I announce my alarm went off this morning and I arrived at work on time.

Unfortunately, with all the fiddling around, I’m not sure quite what I did to fix it. I think that maybe just uninstalling and reinstalling the clock app from Google play fixed the problem. Either that, or fully disabling my scheduled Do Not Disturb function.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. My alarms didn’t go off this morning. BUT I think I know why now.

It turns out that there were two apps called Clock. One that was cloned from my old phone, one that came with the new phone:

All my alarms were set up in my old clock. But when I’m giving permissions and exemptions in the battery manager, I reckon thats affecting the new app, which has no alarms. So the old clock app is still getting randomly killed in the night.

I’ve uninstalled the old clock app and set up alarms in the new clock app.

I reckon that will fix the problem tomorrow, but I’ll have to wait and see.


There was a fucky bloatwate app called Duraspeed which killed apps in the background to save battery which I suspected of making the issue, but removing it using adb didn’t make a difference.

There may yet be still more bloaty apps contributing to the problem though. I’ll keep working thru them


I’ll try this, but even if that were the case, the alarm should still have lit the screen up and maybe vibrated. The phone does nothing at all, doesn’t stir, screen just stays black while I lay awake watching it.


I have now uninstalled and reinstalled the clock app via the play store. And set up my alarms again. I didn’t think of that before. Maybe that will help. I’ll see if I get to work on time tomorrow.

I’m also trying out an alternative app.



It does, but not for a few hours.

And yeah, one of the screenshots above show that I have battery optimisation unrestricted for clock app.


Not yet, I just got Simple Alarm and set it for 6:09, so if it goes off but my clock one doesn’t go off at 6:07 tomorrow, then I’ll know it’s isolated to the clock app.


I’m starting to suspect that’s the same problem what it is I’m dealing with. Mines also unrestricted, and if I set an alarm for sometime in the next few hours, it goes off, but if I set one for tomorrow morning, it won’t.


It’s a new phone I’ve had for a few weeks. I cloned my old phone to it. Never had this problem on my old phone, but it has never worked correctly on the new phone.

I’m reticent to factory reset it, that’s a drastic step to take just to fix the alarm.

I have other issues, like I’m not always getting all my SMS messages. But I’m pretty sure that’s unrelated.


Fair enough. I’ll try this as a diagnostic step, and if it works, as a permanent workaround, thanks.


I would do this, but I don’t sleep in the same place every night, and I would forget to carry it with me.


No smart watch. Only connected devices are Bose qc45s and sony wf1000x, both of which I turn off at night.


[Question] My morning alarms aren’t going off on my new phone and I don’t know why
If I set an alarm for two hours from now, it will go off. I've tested this a few times. But my morning alarms, at 6:07 and 6:13 am, just don't go off. I've been testing this for like a week now and I cant figure it out. Later in the day, maybe 3 or 4 hours later, the phone will alert me that I missed the alarm, even when my body clock wakes me up before the alarm and I lay awake watching my phone tick past the alarm time without it ever twitching or doing anything. So far, I've tried: - Deleting all alarms and recreating them - Clearing the app cache and data, then rebooting - Removing Duraspeed system app which I suspected of causing problems - Toggling every setting and widget related to alarms and DND I can find Here's my alarm setup: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0a2d4576-3bbe-4fbb-88c8-f5d0f53248d2.png) Clock app settings: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ef9ab106-ce4a-421f-bbfd-a61b34b026fb.png) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d5c3cf64-fd9a-4d0b-a5cf-48796203b543.png) Android sound settings: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0f7edd43-ca1c-4b1b-8eb9-76025dddea59.png) Now, I suspected it was some battery thing killing the app, or DND preventing it from going off, but these settings all look correct to me: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9b7962e9-20d3-44cb-bd9d-1ab187ce8d75.png) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/77975a62-5867-4c4b-bc77-f1e038b27c7e.png) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/15cd3e4e-b8eb-4eef-bf93-8135bcf6cd70.png) And just now, its warned me about the missed alarm that I laid awake watching not go off: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bd63ef9a-9b19-473f-96a7-07786b0dcf66.png) Any ideas about what else to investigate, or what else to do? Should I just download and rely on a different alarm app or something?

You can enable developer mode and use the Lockito app to spoof your location.











My former bank launched a sub-bank that was 100% outsourced. App and website only, no branches, no ATM’S, no phone number, just some software and a card. I dumped them for a competent bank after 25 years with them



The original Prince of Persia, in DOS.

Played the shit out of that game. I could probably draw maps of every level from memory.
