Detection of off by one problem #148

Open jmatsushita opened 8 years ago

jmatsushita commented 8 years ago

Currently we're letting users know about the potential off by one problem (non detection of first power button press) in the advanced settings:

Advanced Settings

Trigger Settings

Pattern

Initial Presses (Number of presses needed to trigger the alarm. Increasing the number of initial presses can help reduce false alarms. Also note that some devices might not detect the first press.)

4 presses / (default) 5 presses / 6 presses / 7 presses

We should try to systematically collect data about which phones have this problem and aim to compensate the off by one problem automatically by detecting the phone model.
