Hi,
I have an Umidigi S2 Pro running UmiOS based on Nougat. The phone has 6GB of RAM but still randomly (?) cleans apps in background when only using <2GB. This means that most apps are stopped and then take a long time to start up or to switch between them. The Ummidigi forums have been no help for this. I have tried the battery settings and all other 'optimisation' settings but none have made any difference. In particular, WhatsApp and Gmail are always 'cleaned' within minutes of use. Facebook is cleaned randomly.
Is there any hack or app to stop this from happening? There seems to be a lot of conflicting system apps and settings in Android 7, all trying to close apps in background and no way to stop them.
Thanks,
I am not sure about your device brand. But for my phone, tried 3 steps as below. Just for your reference.
Settings -> Battery -> "Settings Gear",
Ture off the option to "Close excessively power-intensive apps"
Settings -> Apps, click the "Settings" at the bottom, tap "Special Access" -> Ignore battery optimisation,
Select the apps you want to keep alive by switching to "Allowed".
Settings -> Battery -> Lockscreen Cleanup,
Disable the options for all apps you want to keep alive.
EDIT: Added a 4th option that didn't work!
Hi ,
Does anyone know how to prevent the A8 from auto closing Pokemon Go? I've tried the following:
1. Settings, battery, settings, and disabling
1.1. Adaptive battery
1.2. Put unused apps to sleep
1.3. Optimise settings
2. Settings, battery, memory, setting, and adding Pokemon Go to the list of apps that aren't checked.
3. Settings, apps, Pokemon Go, battery, optimise battery use, not optimised
4. Lock the app in the recents menu
Yet after a short while of switching the screen off, it still gets killed. Is there some other arcane setting I have missed or do Samsung (they're not the only ones) that add GUI settings to make it look like you're in control but actually the setting does nothing?
Note: phone is not rooted, but I am happy to root it if necessary - it used to be rooted, I just couldn't be bothered after the recent update!
TIA

No one? OK, how about a different angle: if I re-root it doe anyone know which process I'd need to remove / kill to stop Samsung killing apps?
I've noticed that at default, the phone's RAM management isn't all too convenient when it comes to multitasking.
Sometimes I'll be playing a game, then go to check something on Twitter, and then open the game back up and it's restarted.
Found a neat little trick to help:
1. Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Recent Tasks Manager
2. Toggle apps that you don't want restarted all the time to On
And that's it really, the phone is fine for lighter apps, but when it comes to some games it doesn't handle multitasking too well, but if you "lock" the game with the above method then it won't close it as often.
Also might be worth going into the Phone Manager app > Settings > Self Check > Off. This also helps.
EDIT: Just worked out that this also works for custom launchers (ie Nova). It would often reload my home screen after closing an app, but after adding Nova to the list it doesn't do it anymore
Hi guys,
I noticed the the adaptive refresh rate is not always accurate:
Example 1: Open Google maps and then push down the top notification bar to expand Android setting. Push it up and down and you will see that the refresh rate is low when pushung it up and down. If you quit maps then it will switch back to normal.
Example 2: Use built-in screen recorder. It will force 60hz refresh rate whilst recording. I ended up disabling it and downloading a third party screen recorder so form Google play store and that one worked perfectly and with 120hz during screen recording.
Example 3: Do a WhatsApp video call and then minimize that video to background. The screen will turn to 60hz and will only switch back to 120hz when WhatsApp video call is ended.
In some apps, it might start with 60hz and lag when scrolling but then switch to 120hz and make it smooth.
This is really annoying. Is there a way to force 120hz per app or turn it on permanently? There should be settings somewhere that decide when to do it.

It always goes back to 60Hz for certain apps like Maps, WhatsApp calls.. I don't think there is anyway to prevent that...
Doesn't bother me. No big deal.

Thanks. Its sad if course, hopefully it will be fixed with future firmware updates or folks will find a way to customise it per app. It should have something stored in the phone that will tell it when to switch.
Battery Optimization always turn off my MicroG and Volume Style
Detail:
I Use MicroG for Vanced, and Volume Style for swipe volume. (I like these two apps very much for several years) Then need to turn off battery optimization. I choose to not optimize. Then it will always back to optimize. Every day, every time I should find these two apps, and set to not optimize.
Open app setting and turn off battery saver too, still the same.
Is it because of MIUI Optimization ? is it okay to turn it off? Or I just have to give up using those two apps anymore :crying:?
you can turn off MIUI optimization. try enable microG in autostart. and disable Miui battery saver in microG. recomend use MIUI eu for this youtube vanced for better experience.

Can confirm, I'm seeing the same here (Vanced on stock EU v12.0.3.0).
same here, especially if you reboot the optimisation comes back...very frustrating.

So, is it better to turn MIUI Optimization off or not ?

You don't need to turn off MIUI optimization. What's basically happening is that Microg doesn't request the proper app permissions for it to run on background smoothly. Even if you manually grant it the required permission i.e. Allow_in_power_save, it won't work, since it doesn't use it and MIUI requires it to be set to specify what to do. In short if you are worried about functionality then don't be. And if the notification bothers you, you can turn it off like in screenshots below.

I get it, so it means MicroG will still function well even though the notification appeared.
And what about function in Volume Style that always turn off because it back to optimize even I've already make it not optimize. Is there any suggestions what I have to do ?
seems MIUI battery settings seem to revert back after a while for "important apps" - such as Nova launcher for example.
i have optimisation off in developer settings, but no matter how many times i set specific apps to "no restriction" , MIUI 12 just reverts back after a little while.

Developer options>standby mode
Try setting all buckets to active*; if they're not already locked to active, power management is active.
Find the app causing this and deal with it directly.
Power management... destroyer of worlds
*this may work but the power management app may simple reset the bucket state latter.

anyone found a solution for this? will using venced in root mode be any better?? what if one keeps the battery optimizations on for microG will venced still work as expected??

For those wondering (this thread is a top match via Google), the solution is to simply enable the app icon in microG settings. You can get to settings via YouTube Vanced. Then MIUI will treat it like a standard app, allowing you to disable battery optimisation and it will persist across reboots.

Standby apps...
This is how it should appear if global power management is disabled. Although the bucket shows all buckets as active, many are not and not using battery or any resources like ApkExport or Autostarts which weren't in the memory cache at the time this screen shot was taken.
