Hello,
I correctly configured my phone to let some app being not optimised for battery saving. in each app, I can select if I want this app to be optimised for battery saving.
I did it for some app like synology drive.
I noticed that synology drive is inerrupted anyway when the phone has the screen off.
is it normal ? is there a way to have some app that are not shut down ? the problem is that these kind of app that are used for synchronization or file transfert must not be cut off when the screen is off because the transfert are interrupted.
Hello. If you are using MIUI then try this 1. open the app 2. touch recents 3. long press the app 4. touch the lock icon.
Thanks I did it, but I read that the lock is usefull only to keep the app running even if I close all app in the recents app. does it really have something to do with the OS stopping background apps ?
is miui known to be painfull and kill background apps ?
I have the solution : i must disable MIUI optimization.
from :
What is MIUI Optimization and should you turn it off? - xiaomiui
MIUI optimization is an option that helps to load the app and the app data in parallel to reduce load times and ensure a smooth user experience.
xiaomiui.net
extract : "Background apps cannot sync data."
tested with synology drive and it works, after disabling, my transferts works even when the phone has screen off.
I don't know how to close the thread and mark it as resolved. anyway someone has more news about MIUI optimization, it would be great, would it break something to disable it ?

THIS ISN'T A GUIDE NOR A TUTORIAL HOW TO SETUP YOU PHONE. I JUST WANT TO SHARE WHAT I'VE DONE WITH MY PHONE TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF CM10.1 AT ITS CURRENT STATE.
My primary goal when adjusting settings and applying tweaks is always battery life, performance comes second and looks of the ui as last priority.
So here's a listing of my current setup:
1. Installed Greenify - to hibernate user apps to prevent background execution.
2. Installed Autostarts - to disable automatic startup of system and user apps. I like this app coz i can control each app per activity.
3. Installed Titanium Backup - to freeze (disable) system apps and even remove some that i don't really use.
4. I have only one widget in the home screen, the clock. I disabled the rest of the widgets in Autostarts including Quick Search Bar. When i need to search the internet i just long press the menu button to open Google Search/Google Now.
5. Aside from the Quick Settings Panel, i place shortcuts in the home screen to easily access system settings to turn on/off features.
6. I use Script Manager to create shortcuts to run my scripts (like enabling/disabling fast charge).
7. I only install apps and games that i really use. But i have a TB backup of more than 170 apps in my sdcard, kept in case i needed them.
Can you give me a link which the system apps can be frozen?
I really hate google service running in background but I dont know which can be frozen by not crashing system

cool icons, what did you use for them?
How to boost your Phone RAM & Battery Life by installing two apps in any Android Cell
Hello Geeks,
Here I am gonna tell you how I am extending my cellphone battery life & making my cell phone to use less RAM. SD-MAID & GREENIFY. Condition of using these two apps is - your phone should be rooted. Let me tell you steps to use this:
1) Go to play store & download SD MAID & GREENIFY.
2) Open SD Maid > App-control. Touch the refresh icon on top. It asks for root permission. Allow it. Now, you can see a list of apps. By seeing apps some of them are with label Auto-start. Touch that app > Toggle auto-start component & a pop up window come. Turn off the components by touching ON. Do it for every app you do not want to run in background.
3) Now Open Greenify. Touch Plus icon on top. Allow root permissions. Now you can see. Touch show all apps. Here you need to add apps for Hibernation. Add apps which you want out of memory. And touch the sleep icon. Create shortcut for Hibernation if you want to add Greenify Hibernate shortcut to your Home Screen.
These apps are very small in size. Making the most of memory empty for other apps.
Enjoy
Hi, is there any app which can be used to quickly disable the background activity of the apps? I've more than 400 apps installed so it is a bit difficult to disable the background activity by going inside each app's info>battery. Or is there any quickly way of doing it?
Why not try to make them dozed instead ?
There are too many apps I could recommend...
such as Brevnt , Greenify , Controlbp , X-APM...
Just to choose one or two which you like to use ,
more will be worse.
Guys,
How do I stop apps from running in the background?
Check my attached screenshot of battery stats, where snaptube and beam was running in the background, although I never opened them for the day.
Is there an option in settings to do it like Samsung does, or Do I have to depend on an App ?
Thanks in Advance!

That's some pretty bad battery drain for apps that you haven't even used. You could try greenify.

Best options I'd say:
- Disable Background Activity (app info - battery) - though this may mess with any notifications you may want to receive
- Disable Background data (app info - Data Usage - Background Data) - again, perhaps no notifications
- Battery optimisation - ensure android is optimising battery usage
- Disable notifications from within the app, which should reduce battery usage though of course at the expense of not receiving notifications (could just manually check?)
Another option is to use App ops (comes with NitrogenOS custom rom) or install it from the Playstore. This will allow you to further tweak app permissions, specifically "auto-start", "keep awake" and "run in background".
Lastly for some apps it may be a better option to eithern find an alternative, where available, or not to bother with the app and just use the web interface instead. For example, I don't bother with Facebook and used Folio for a while. Now I just settle for the web interface (with messenger lite installed for messages) and have a shortcut to the site on my home screen (which you can even change the icon to a Facebook one).
Though also I see you using Snaptube (video downloader?) and so downloading will be a battery drainer too, so if this is the case use WiFi where possible.
Many options, decide which fits best for you
Great reply right here. Was just about to say the first few options as they're built-in. Good thing I scrolled down. LOL

THANK YOU! for taking time to compose this fantastic response.
Initially I was lost because I coudn't find the option to kill background activity in the app settings. However since you've mentioned it here, I checked again.
Apparently that option is not shown for some apps. But a few, Like Snaptube does have that option. For the one's that doesn't have it - I used Greenify.
Battery Optimization, Yes Enabled.
Notifications were also a good tip, Killed all except the messenger and Email apps.

You're welcome
Is there a way to have this support more than 3 apps? It's ridiculous there's a limit with the amount of ram on this phone
That's a GREAT question, and I'd love to know the answer too. I haven't found one yet though. RAM isn't an issue on this phone. Maybe they worry too many locked in memory will affect battery life too much?
Where did you learn this is the limit? I've gone days without opening an app before and when I go back to it it's right where I left off.
You could perhaps go to the battery saving menu and disable the battery saving for any apps you want to remain running. This may cause some serious background battery usage though, but It may be worth trying out. Also, try running the high performance mode. I've run that mode a lot and never noticed it causing much battery drain over the standard optimised mode.
Coming from Oneplus and using it for a long time I can tell you, the Note 10+ is probably one of the best multitasking phones I've used (including Note 9). Chrome on this hardly ever closes in the background and find it always running and available with all the tabs open. Oneplus phones can hardly keep anything in memory / background loaded for more than 5 mins but but Oneplus phones feel sooooo much more responsive and snappy comparatively otherwise.
The default for background apps is set to, "standard." Which allows more than 3 background apps.
Go into Device Care - > Battery - > App power management
Some apps may have been automatically added to sleep or deep sleep.
You can add or remove apps as needed.

After you add three to "Keep open for quick launching" the option becomes greyed out.
You're right, it's generally not an issue where apps get closed down in the background anyway, but I normally have 4 or 5 that I always wanted 'pinned' to my recents list. Not a big deal, I just found the limit strange, given the phone's capabiities and hardware.

How do you get " keep open for quick launching “ , I only get lock app instead , I'm running one ui 2.1 june security patch ” picture attached ”
Anyway you can bypass this using good lock app from galaxy store and use the module multistar and toggle on ”long live apps”

I'm also on One UI 2.1, June security patch. Screenshot of my menu option is attached. Maybe it's different between countries/regions/models? Mine is the Canadian N975W.
Edit: attachments aren't working, here's a link to the screenshot: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqdgaMVMg2EMirgLXMqey1V1d0Gsdg?e=RGdVeX
I have three settings :
Put apps to sleep
Put apps to deep sleep
Apps that are not put to sleep.
I can add as many as i want in here.
There's an option to Goodlock's Task Changer to keep an app open which is a setting you don't have anywhere else in the system.
But i don't have that long live app in Multistar on my end.
Sorry for digging this up but do all of your apps appear in the "Apps that never sleep" list of apps?
I'm missing quite a few of my apps, aProfiles and Philips Hue for a start...
Anyone has noticed that before? Thnx
