Does anyone have issues with background apps closing? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Whenever I'm streaming a podcast, Pandora or even recording app it'll close on its own after a little while. I've removed the option to optimize in battery settings but it still keeps happening. Any suggestions? I'm on stock rooted by the way

Lag after 5.1.1 update

Hi, i dont remember there being much lag before updating yet now, opening apps or even trying to swipe between the pull down menu pages (battery, cinema mode & settings) for example sometimes takes a couple of seconds.
I've reset the watch to factory settings and uninstalled the app on my phone and reinstalled.
It feels like i need to reduce the animation times like i would in the phones developer settings.
Any suggestions?
I haven't seen anyone else on XDA or reddit with lag issues. If you can sideload a CPU profiler or otherwise monitor processor load, I would recommend making sure an app or system process isn't hogging all the CPU cycles. If there is no issue and the lag is still there, the only option might be to contact Sony support.
I could not use the watch lagged too much, restarted the watch and it seems better.

Poor battery life due to constant notifications. Any fix?

Hello everyone, I recently picked up a fire phone. I am running the stock software but I used bootstrapper to downgrade back to 4.6.3 so I can install the play store and nova launcher. The battery life is atrocious and it seems to be stemming from the screen not staying off due to a constant stream of BS notifications that turn and keep the screen on. Some were from apps but most were from the system regarding wallpapers, lock-screens ect. I left the phone on the desk untouched and watched the battery drop 30% in a couple hours.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so how did you resolve it? I could not find any setting that would allow me to stop notifications or stop them from turning the screen on. Thanks in advance.
Go into settings then sound and notifications. You'll be able to select which apps notify you. Better than that though is to uninstall any crappy apps that insist on spamming you.

cant properly cast apps?

Apps won't stay open while casting. I've disabled every battery feature for Netflix, YouTube, etc even the special access hidden setting that allows you to completely disable all battery saving effects per certain apps and yet my Netflix casting notification constantly dissapears from the status bar. Matter of fact so does Samsung health, albeit it takes a little longer for that. It will keep playing on the actual tv because of pre loading but I can not pause or rewind because the app gets all confused and messed up, same with YouTube and YouTube tv.i am absolutely positively I have disabled any and all battery saving features related to these apps yet they still close and mess up my casting. Is there anything I can do or is this just some ridiculous EMUI 5 bug?

How to prevent apps from getting killed

Hi all,
I'm running several apps that should run all the time (AdGuard, Network Speed Meter) or for a long time (speed trap warner,...) but OxygenOS kills them after a certain period. Some of them restart automatically, some don't. Of course all of these apps are 'not battery optimized'. Is there any chance to prevent OxygenOS from killing them?
Are there custom ROMs that can overcome this problen?
I'm on the latest OxygenOS Pie Beta, but the behavior was similar on Android O...
Thanks a lot,
W
Did you try locking the app via recents menu?
Thank for the info, didn't know that.
Unfortunately it doesn't help, Adguard and the network monitor don't appear in recents. The speed trap warner automatically starts and stops when I'm in the car, i don't want to open recents manually every time.
Battery - Battery optimisation - Don't optimise

This is not changing anything,e ven with disable battery disabled, even with adaptative battery disabled.
I have the same problem. I have not found any solution whatsoever. This is really frustrating. I've made sure apps aren't optimized. Advanced optimization is disabled. Developer options background limit is at standard. I've pinned the apps in recent apps and it still happens. Apps get killed all the time.
For example,
1. I use Google Fit to start tracking a run. Within 10 minutes of tracking, the app is closed and workout not tracked. Its not even like i touched the phone and opened other apps during this.
2. I have VoIP account setup in the default dialer. Calls come through only 50% of the time cause the dialer is closed.
3. YouTube Music, constantly gets closed if i simply pause the music. Within 2 minutes, the app is closed.
4. Trying to transfer 15GB of files through Explorer app from phone to file server, never succeeds if i don't watch the app and keep the screen on.
5. Plex gets closed and therefore my photos don't auto backup with the phone is plugged in.
This is absolutely ridiculous! Why the hell a phone with 8GB of RAM is killing apps is beyond me!
Custom ROM on the same phone, like Lineage OS, no issues. Can have optimization on, battery manager on and all. In fact, battery life is better on custom when its not killing the apps! Seems to be the only solution until OOS can stop killing apps so aggressively.

There's a whole website regarding that issue on several devices, maybe it helps: dontkillmyapp(dot)com/general#user-solution

Background apps are being killed and I'm receiving no notifications

Hello,
I have an issue with my Note 10+ where apps that are running in the background are being killed and they show no notifications.
For example, if I'm downloading an app from the Play Store and I went to home screen or switched to another window, it just stops installing, until you go back to the Play Store then it resumes installing the app. Also, the auto-update for apps is not working at all. I have to go to the Play Store and install the apps manually.
One more example is the Gmail app. I don't get notifications instantly when I receive an email. I get all email notifications when I unlock the phone.
I have tried everything related to cache erasing/disabling battery optimization for the Play Store (and Play Services/Download Manger) and Gmail, making sure that these apps are not in the sleeping apps list, etc. I even tried wiping the phone's cache and resetting to factory settings. Nothing works and the issue persists. I have adaptive battery enabled, and Power Mode sat to "Optimized" (PS: I tried disabling the adaptive battery and setting the Power Mode to "High Performance" with no luck.
My device is Exynos.
Anybody facing the same issues? This is really annoying and frustrating, and I'm thinking of switching the phone because of this issue.
No such issue. I don't use adaptive battery nor anything under app power management; also no auto optimisations or auto restart. And of course no app, God forbid, that clears or otherwise optimises memory.

I am facing the same issue on my Note10+ and S10+ and even with my Pixel. I think this is an Android problem and not manufacturer specific. I have also disabled any app power saving and app optimizations but whenever I manually check the Play Store there will usually be several apps waiting to be updated.
This happens with my Apple devices too. My iPhone XS Max and 11" iPad Pro never auto updates apps.
