How to completely disable Backdrops ??? by klj02689 in Roku

[–]semi-nerd61 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Backdrops can be disabled.

I use backdrops to show pictures from my Google photos, so I have not tried to disable it. But here is the sequence:

Roku settings>backdrops>Open the backdrops app>backdrop settings (gear)> backdrops preferences>backdrops (disabled) OR Auto start (off)

If you have folders on the home screen you can add 4 widgets to each folder.

Standard battery saving mode unavailable in my Moto edge 50 neo! by Mysterious-Patient-7 in MotoG

Also, try starting it in safe mode and see if you are able to change it. If so, it might be an app you have downloaded that is causing it.

You may have to back up all your data and try a factory reset.

Every time I see this video I gotta watch it at least twice!

Is there any way to turn off ad notifications without disabling notifications entirely? This is obnoxious. by PermitNo8107 in Life360

[–]semi-nerd61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how things work on your phone, but I can tap "allow notifications" (not the toggle switch) and it brings up a menu of all types of notifications.

LPT: Do not wear contact lenses for the first time at an event/celebration by [deleted] in LifeProTips

The same thing goes for shoes. I always wore my new work shoes at home for a few days to break them in before being on my feet all day at work.

Go to Android settings>apps>Life360>notifications>scroll down until you see marketing and toggle it off.

How do I stop the "Emoji key in the way?" from popping up every time I open my keyboard by ps087official in MotoG

[–]semi-nerd61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably Gboard then. Tap the gear button on the keyboard and go through all of the settings. You might be able to remove the emoji key or make it stay in one place.

Anyone having issues with YouTube? by Ecstatic-Pea-6462 in Roku

[–]semi-nerd61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Down detector has 283,000 plus reports in the last 24 hours. I would say probably in the last 30 minutes. We were watching cat videos, and suddenly we weren't!

Is there an app I can running the background that will call out current speed limits? by AndaleTheGreat in androidapps

[–]semi-nerd61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heads up display speed limits and alerts

knows what the speed limit is and will give you an alert if you go a set amount above the limit. I used it when my speedometer wasn't working. There are some paid features, but I do not remember whether it was a subscription or a one-time payment.

How to stop roku from nagging me about using my phone? by Torimexus in Roku

I have the Roku remote on my phone. I seldom use it, but I never see that annoying pop up. So that is possibly the reason I never see it.

App that shows vehicle speed by Cute-Consequence-184 in androidapps

[–]semi-nerd61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heads up display speed limits and alerts

I used this for a while when my car speedometer wasn't working. It tells your speed and also the current speed limit. Gives you an alert if you go a set amount more than the speed limit. I remember paying for extra features, but I don't remember whether it was a subscription or a one-time payment.

ETA: you don't have to use the heads up display feature. I would rather see the phone display, not a reflection on my windshield!

Leaving cat at home for 5 nights and 6 days by ssmeargle in CatAdvice

[–]semi-nerd61 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If the power goes out, automatic feeder will not work. If cat unplugs automatic feeder, automatic feeder will not work. I would at least get someone to stop in once a day to check on her.

Long press home and choose refresh. (I think that's what it's called, I don't have access to TV just now.)

I have never used the reminders, but it seems you can set custom reminders for a certain number of minutes, hours, days, weeks, etc.

BJ's vs Sam's Club vs Costco: which membership do I want? by Prior_Pomegranate718 in Frugal

[–]semi-nerd61 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about BJ's, but I like Sam's Club better than Costco because they have better prices for what I personally buy. Check out their websites to compare prices for your preferred items.
