For regular to-do lists (like a shopping list) I use Google keep, and it has a widget that displays any list you want on the home screen. It also lets you share lists with others.

For tasks that need a date and time, I create tasks in Google calendar and they are automatically listed on the calendar widget

Might be your settings or permissions

Boost sends me notifications on replies

Recharge the phone for a few minutes and then check again, it will be there. That’s what happened to me and also to my friend.

I’d like to try that. How do you get to that settings?

I used a non standard keyboard a long time ago and while it did deliver, the most important thing I learned is that non standard things tend to disappear and the time spent learning it was wasted.

The pixel 7 and 8 I use never have those problems. I suspect the culprit is your network signal, not your phone. Do you have a reliable provider and are you in a location where the signal travels well?

I work on an irregular schedule, so I want to keep track to make sure I get enough sleep. It doesn’t have to be super accurate, just a number of hours elapsed, to decide if I go back to sleep.

Satirical, but it’s actually my plan b, until something automatically does it. So upvoted lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just get a case

I wonder why glass back is so popular,

They are being hyped up by marketing because people easily fall for it. Even you:

Then I bought my $800 glass back Xiaomi 13T Pro in January

It works the same as with cigarettes: people think it’s cool. Most don’t care about the rest. Easy money for the suppliers.

Good for you for calling them out on their bullshit. Anyone else with a history of dropping their phones from their pockets (and yet buying a flashy glass back (and refusing to protect it with a case (and referring to it as a condom))) will benefit from reading about your awakening and they might go for something different.

Just remember, if you fell for this one, you might fall for another marketing gimmick unless you pay more attention.

I also use Boost because of one nice feature: it highlights new comments in a different color.

I had to turn that feature on in the settings, and it’s very convenient when revisiting an active post.
