Tips and troubleshooting specific to Edgeless apps on Android.

Notifications

If you're not receiving notifications (used by apps like Random Reminders and Better Sleep):

1. Go to Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Notifications
2. Make sure notifications are enabled
3. Check that the notification channel isn't muted

Notifications Not Firing on Time

Android battery optimization can prevent timely notifications:

1. Go to Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Battery
2. Select Unrestricted (not "Optimized" or "Restricted")
3. On Samsung: also check Settings > Device Care > Battery > Background Usage Limits
4. On Xiaomi/MIUI: Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > [App] > Autostart (enable)

Manufacturer-Specific Issues

Some manufacturers aggressively kill background apps. If notifications are unreliable:

• Samsung — Disable "Put unused apps to sleep" in Battery settings
• Xiaomi/MIUI — Enable Autostart and lock the app in Recent Apps
• OnePlus — Disable Battery Optimization for the app
• Huawei/EMUI — Add the app to "Protected Apps" in Battery settings

Storage & Data

Clearing App Cache

1. Go to Settings > Apps > [App Name]
2. Tap Storage
3. Tap Clear Cache (keeps your data) or Clear Data (removes everything)

Storage Permissions

If an app can't save or load files:

1. Go to Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Permissions
2. Grant Storage or Photos and Videos permission
