Check autostart status (manufacturer-specific) → Verify still enabled 4. Test one upcoming alarm → Set for next major event → Verify fires correctly 5. Check for app updates → Update if available → Retest after update 6. Review notification channel settings → Verify "Urgent" priority maintained Monthly check = Catch issues before critical events ``` --- ### After OS Updates **Critical post-update checks:** ``` IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANDROID/iOS UPDATE: Within 24 hours: 1. Send test notification → OS updates often reset permissions 2. Re-verify battery optimization → Major updates (Android 13→14) always reset → Reapply "Unrestricted" setting 3. Re-verify autostart (if applicable) → Manufacturer updates reset this 4. Reconfigure notification channels if needed → Updates sometimes change channel structure 5. Set test alarm for tomorrow → Validate alarms work post-update Don't assume permissions survived update Always verify immediately ``` --- ## Emergency Backup System ### When Notifications Fail **Redundancy strategies:** ``` BACKUP 1: Phone alarm 1. Phone → Clock app → Set alarm 2. 1 hour before major event (NFP, FOMC) 3. Label: "Check Forex Calendar" 4. When alarm fires: Manually check calendar BACKUP 2: Calendar event 1. Google Calendar or iOS Calendar 2. Add event: "NFP 8:30 AM" 3. Set alert: 1 hour before 4. Separate from Forex Calendar app BACKUP 3: Trading buddy 1. Find trading partner 2. Agree to text each other before major events 3. Human backup system BACKUP 4: Multiple devices 1. Install app on phone AND tablet 2. Configure both 3. If one fails, other alerts Professional traders use 2-3 backup methods Cannot rely solely on app notifications Redundancy = Safety ``` --- ## Developer Contact (Last Resort) ### When to Contact Support **If nothing in this guide works:** ``` BEFORE contacting developer: 1.
