Just create a new gmail email, you never intend to use for anything else.
Log in with that. Down load what ever you want. Simples.

wouldt mind but its the ping, ping, ping. 5am.. ping. ohh did i say PING... its worse than having a nagging furkin wife.


i signed out. turned apps off but for some furkin reason they turn themselves on again if there is something new.


iys going to end up against the wall.. how do people put up with it.............

Customise notifications for each app. Set them to silent if you prefer. Also set up a do-not-disturb automatic schedule 10pm-8am for example

There's still time to go back to your old tech

[Bibio]

yup. i'm going to start grinding my own grain with this ****ty phone.


thing is i should not have to go through all the settings to turn things off, apps should ask when they are installed. aaaaarrrrgggg

Worked with automation, robotics and tech all my career - time for a rest now.. I do have a mobile a Doro clamshell phone with a proper button keyboard that does texts and calls, would do data as well but I can't be 4r5ed...

There's an amazing bit of tech for this called "Shoebox". You put your phone in it and put it under the sofa in another room when you don't want it to disturb you.


I got one. Not cheap at £35, but it did come with free shoes.

Isn't there an 'off' button on the phone ? When I had a microsoft phone ( Lumia something or other IIRC ) the alarm would not work if the phone was turned off, but alarm on every other phone i'd had before and since did. So with stupid MS phone if you wanted to use the alarm you had to leave the phone turned on all night making various noises while you tried to sleep... and a shoebox wasn't an option, who wants to carry a shoebox with them when traveling ?

Wrap it in a towel? There are other options... shoebox was just a silly example. Also there's a lot to be said for a stand alone alarm clock. You can get small cheap ones. We got one for my daughter to stop her going on her phone after lights out. The need for an alarm was her excuse to keep the phone by her bed... and sneak onto it until 2am when were all asleep.
