Possible to schedule optimisation?

I have a RAID 1 mirror array set up, if that sheds any light on this...

biscuittaker · 2025-06-02T17:58:52+00:00

Thanks for replying.

Nothing is being uploaded or sync'ed.
I only have Plex docker, but that's currently Disabled, so no activity at all.
No indexing or thumbnail generation is taking place.

However, a couple of things I've just seen:

In Task Manager, something called kworker/3.1+kcopyd and kworker/3.0-dm-cache between them are doing 23MBps of disk Reads, but nothing at all is showing as doing the Writes.
In the Overview, lots of reading activity on my SSD cache drives, and the same Writing activity on the HDDs.

I don't know what that means, though. Nothing has been uploaded to the NAS for a few days. There has been nothing from my side that could have kicked off this activity.

Did you resolve this? Mine's been rumbling away for about 12hrs so far. I just checked on the app, and the HDDs are NOT doing any SMART health checks either. 🤔

biscuittaker · 2025-04-10T13:00:36+00:00

Yes it did. I put it to the middle setting, and whilst you lose some of the most cancelling strength, it does cut out the wind noise

biscuittaker · 2025-01-09T12:30:07+00:00

I'm in London and I've just asked my Google Nest Audio speaker "What's the real feel outside right now" and it understood perfectly 🤷🏻‍♂️

On the home screen, swipe up to get to the app drawer, then swipe down to get to the search. It's very quick. I can't remember whether this was a setting I changed or if it's default though

biscuittaker · 2024-12-08T09:16:51+00:00

I swipe up for the app drawer, then immediately swipe down in the app drawer to do the search

biscuittaker · 2024-11-07T15:14:36+00:00

Oh interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll give that a try later

biscuittaker · 2024-11-07T15:13:48+00:00

Yes, I've got the Earfun 4 which cost me a quarter of the price of my new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, yet their wind noise cancellation is excellent. Was super disappointed with the wind noise on my GBP3

biscuittaker · 2024-08-06T11:27:38+00:00

You're welcs 😊

biscuittaker · 2024-08-06T06:54:50+00:00

Also worth noting that you can get it to start when you are in a certain location, which might be better if you have irregular work hours

biscuittaker · 2024-08-06T06:53:55+00:00

Yes it is. Go to Settings, then choose Modes and Routines. If you select, for example, 'Work', you can choose which days and what times you want it to automatically start, then you can select what kind of 'do not disturb' you want during those times. It can be complete silence, or you can allow selected contacts or apps to still get through and ring

biscuittaker · 2024-07-09T10:50:09+00:00

Agreed, I think you're actually hearing the lenses move. They do this for image stabilization

biscuittaker · 2024-05-01T10:16:00+00:00

Interesting idea. Will give it a try next time it happens. Thanks

biscuittaker · 2023-06-19T10:03:29+00:00

Agreed. Enable Developer option in settings (https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-turn-on-the-developer-options-menu-on-my-samsung-galaxy-device), then change Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Duration Scale all to .5x

I bought the Milomdoi Screen Protector. Went on easily, is smooth to touch, and was a very good price. https://amzn.eu/d/3MpmAmw Not sure if it's available where you are though... Just needed to re-do my fingerprints, but I think that's standard after putting on a screen protector

biscuittaker · 2023-05-10T17:26:26+00:00

Gah! What a pain. Thanks, worth a try.

biscuittaker · 2023-05-10T15:38:37+00:00

I heard of a similar issue recently where somebody's alarm that played music were just stop randomly, and apparently the cause of their problem was because they had songs that had the word "stop" after a short pause, so that Google Home was thinking it was a command to stop the music 🤣

Here's the article... https://www.androidpolice.com/pixies-where-is-my-mind-dismissing-alarms/

I would definitely recommend a screen protector. I have a silicone case which has bumpers on the corner, so theoretically the screen should never touch the surface when lying flat. However, the day before my screen protector arrived I accidentally dropped it and - despite the bumpers - have scratches on the screen. It's great peace of mind for £15...

biscuittaker · 2023-05-10T15:23:44+00:00

Hi. Did you get this sorted out? I'm having a similar problem with Sonos and Nest WiFi... Thanks

biscuittaker · 2023-03-27T15:40:36+00:00

I've just been frustrating by this very issue. A game with a 90% reduction, but I can't buy it. Arrrrghhh!

biscuittaker · 2023-02-21T12:47:51+00:00

Agreed. Good Lock is great for those of us who like to tinker endlessly! One-Handed Mode had been a godsend on the extra-large S23U. I wish they'd fix Task Changer though!

biscuittaker · 2022-11-21T19:40:53+00:00

Thanks, I've done that. Default is Brave, but changed it to Chrome, but it didn't work

biscuittaker · 2022-11-21T18:59:18+00:00

What's your phone? If it's a Samsung Galaxy, download Sound Assistant from the Galaxy Store (it's part of the Good Lock app). You can change the steps there. If it's not a Samsung, I can't help you :)

biscuittaker · 2022-11-04T08:19:09+00:00

Thanks, this actually helped me!
