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?

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
Nobody else has this issue? It does not matter what I do. I've made apps battery optimization exempt, I've changed any and all settings that you can and yet apps like Netflix, Samsung Health absolutely refuse to stay open for lengthy periods of time. Sometimes they're even still running and yet dissapear from the notification bar. I've tried everything. Even locking h m in the recent apps menu doesn't work. Is the an EMUI 5 bug?
I have had a galaxy S9 for almost a month now and and I love pretty much everything about it except for one thing: it has been pausing all audio/video sources at around the 20m mark or sooner, without my input, seemingly at random. I listen to music while I am commuting to work, and usually have to resume the music manually at least 2 or 3 times. Yesterday, on my way home however, it required zero resumes, which confused me.
The fact is, it's super annoying to have it do this as I typically cycle to work, and having to press play while riding ruins my momentum, tempo, and mood. I have tried searching for the root cause to this, and I have even seen S9/other device users with this problem, but I cannot pinpoint a solution, just a bunch of "oh, I have this problem too" threads. Someone said it was Android system related, but I cannot be certain.
Has anybody else heard about/experienced this? And if so, is there a solution available? I feel like this would be the best place to ask this...
I have the same problem, searching on google there is two options called smart pause and smart stay that do exactly that, but I can't find those features on options to enable/disable it.
Any solution?
It might be the battery sleep function of samsung, i blocked both spotify and youtube from being put to sleep by the system, and allowed usage of them and that fixed it for me
Edit: removing it from being optimized also fixes the random pause for me

All i know is that you can go to the app's battery settings, disable the stuff there, make sure theyre not in battery>sleeping/disabled apps because i never had that issue since i dont let the system manage youtube (vanced), spotify and others like Samsung Music
Especially delete the apps from "Optimized apps" which actually kills the apps from playing. Might aswell then disable auto optimizing while phone is unused and the other settings from the battery that affect apps

Yes, I disable battery optimization for multimedia apps, they are listed as "NOT OPTIMIZED" battery settings. Doesn't work.

I do that, now I see this same thing happening on facebook videos too!
Most of online threats says to disable smart pause feature on galaxy but I don't have that setting here.

Neither do i. Did you even try to disable every battery-savable thing as i told you?

Yes, I disable all apps listed on settings.
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.

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.

My app is not killed when i lock it in the switch app menu
There's a whole website regarding that issue on several devices, maybe it helps: dontkillmyapp(dot)com/general#user-solution
My Kindle Fire 8 10th Gen blocks background notifications (I need this for Discord). I have made some tweaks using Fire Toolbox, but all of them look like they shouldn't interfere with notifications, background processes, or network. One potential last resort solution I have is to get a custom rom and see how that goes, but afaik nothing like that has been developed for this device yet.
First, I tried sending a test notification using Tasker. It worked, but Tasker also has a persistent status notification which may keep it running in the background.
I did a Discord test next. I logged into an alt from my desktop, and dmed my main. I could get notifications on my phone, but nothing popped up on my fire. I noticed that opening the Discord app was like opening a closed app (Slower, pings and messages take a few seconds to load in), not like reopening an app from recents.
The final test I did was from Google voice (VOIP messaging). I pretty much did the same thing as Discord, and I noticed the same things.
Some other things I did:
- I made sure that battery optimization was off for Discord
- I checked memory usage from developer options, and confirmed that Discord was not running 100% of the time
- I force stopped Discord on my phone so that it wouldn't get notifications in case that interfered with other devices
- I know that it is possible to keep 3rd party apps running, but I don't know how to do it. Nova launcher is reported as "always running".
