Critical Setup: Background Alarms & Battery
Important Requirement: Android battery savers can pause apps when your screen is locked. To ensure medication alarms sound and wake the screen reliably on time, configure these 3 quick settings:
-
Set Battery to "Unrestricted":
Long-press the MedTracker app icon on your home screen → tap App Info (or ⓘ) → tap Battery → select Unrestricted (or disable Battery Optimization). -
Allow High-Priority Alarms & Notifications:
Under App Info → tap Notifications → ensure Allow Notifications is turned ON, and under Medication Alarms channel, set it to Sound & Pop on screen. -
Enable "Alarms & Reminders" Permission (Android 12+):
Under App Info → tap Alarms & reminders → toggle ON Allow setting alarms and reminders. This allows MedTracker to wake the ringer at the exact scheduled second.
