Android, you fucking cunt!

Battery saving, yes it's an important thing. So first you want applications to display a big-ass notification when they're running in the background. Fair enough, it can be hidden away by the user if they want to.

But now there's a big-ass notification and the applications STILL get force closed?!! If I'm browsing Tor and I have Orbot running, don't you think that I might want to KEEP IT RUNNING?!! Or better yet, if I'm connected to my VPN server and the application is actively using the VPNService API, DON'T YOU THINK THAT THAT SHOULDN'T BE CLOSED?!!!

But yeah, ARTIFICIAL FUCKING INTELLIGENCE is doing some leety-ass fucking battery saving. MY FUCKING ASS CAN DO BETTER BATTERY SAVING!!!

30 seconds.. not my best time..

Isn't there a setting in android for disabling this?

@ewpratten still pretty much instantaneously though 😂

@ewpratten yeah adaptive battery can be disabled, but I'm not entirely sure how that's gonna impact things. Guess I'll give it a go for a couple of days and see how it goes 🙂

@irene nah, that's already disabled.. just disabled that adaptive battery stuff (aka the AI shit that's probably killing those applications) as well though.

@Condor search in settings for battery optimization, find the app you want, disable optimization

Battery saving isn't as bad as having a Sony XPeria T which has not much RAM to begin with and is also hyperactive with clearing it. First I've set my music player to be locked at maximum process priority, then I tried editing a system database (which reset all my settings, because apparently I did it wrong) and finally I converted the music player into a system app. Now it at least doesn't quit anymore while I'm using basic apps like Google Keep, etc. But when I do something more resource intensive, it still gets closed.

@Fabian just download some more RAM

@svgPhoenix In January. The file name will be "Fairphone_2.exe.zip.ini.msi"

Now imagine, you are a developer who needs app running always in background
And you must provide every user of every Chinese phone with different instruction, how to keep it working
And getting 1 star reviews everyday, because of that

@rostopira My situation exactly... I'm starting to think something like this might be the cause of my problems... Testing my app for days on end, no problems. Management wants to give it a try, "nothing works" - they start reporting tons of errors I've never even seen, nor managed to reproduce (how do you reproduce "It doesn't work", when it does? EXPLAIN THE BUG!!!)...HOW does it not work, and more importantly, how do you WANT it to work...? Who knows what smart "features" they have turned on... Not that their testing is particularly objective, they test via feelings - it doesn't feel right, report a bug... I'm displaying sensor data, can't tell if the error is on my side or the sensor's when they use unrepeatable data sources...

Update to my hyperactively app-killing phone: It really seems to get worse and worse, now I can barely use the browser anymore without killing the music, despite it being a system app.

@Fabian maybe it's time for a new phone mate ._.

@irene My phone has 847MB of RAM. So yes, with integer rounding, it's 0GB.

@Condor Sooooon™
