I am coming from a Nexus 7 2013 which could reliably run the Private Internet Access app for days at a time without any issues and most importantly without closing. On my M3, the app randomly shuts down and turns off the VPN after an hour or so; I'm guessing this has something to do with RAM management. Any ideas on how to remedy this? It's been kinda sucky to realize that my connection has been unsecure for an unknown amount of time once I realize that the app decided to close by itself.
You should go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Battery Manager -> Protected Apps and enable it for the VPN app so it will not get closed when the screen turns off.

Wow I was not aware this was a built-in feature on this tablet. Screw you, EMUI, and thank you, Flavio!!

You can freeze apps with Titanium (I believe you need the pro version to do this though).
There is an app called "Network Location" that Titanium can freeze, so that may be the solution.
Alternatively, the easiest thing to do (if it works) go to Settings -> Location and security and check the settings in there. I can't see it being that though, as I have wireless network locations on all the time and I've never seen any network location apps cause me problems.
Where are you getting the information that those apps are draining your battery?

THX!!! M8
The informatin is from the "BETTERBATTERYStats " app
look for it on XDA
Disable Settings->Location->Use wireless
Then in either Maps or Latitude, there must be a setting to disable the service. Since freezing these useless battery wasters is one of the first things I do after flashing a new
ROM, I can't tell you exactly what, but you can find it.

Glad to help mate
While freezing apps can obviously help, just making sure you are not logged into Latitude will help a lot with your battery. I reckon I added 12 hours or more to my expected battery life just by logging out and staying out - no freezing required.
I recently got windows 8 for my pc and tested out some of the browsers only to find at this moment in time Internet Explorer is the one with the best metro ui so I decided to wait till the others got updated and stick with IE(for the time being).
However there's one major thing that's annoying me and that's that my default search engine has been turned to conduit and there's no simple setting to get rid of it and uninstall conduit can anybody help me please?
Did you change it in Desktop mode? Internet Options -> Programs -> Manage add-ons -> Search Providers?

Hi,
So when I open my flip cover and have no Internet access, I get a textbox saying there is no network, check network and try again. So I guess an app is always trying to connect to Internet. But I don't know from which app this comes so I can't turn it off. Is there a log out something so I can see which app gives this textbox?

I don't know about a log, but one way to tell would be to go to Settings-connections tab- Data Usage. Any app that appears in the list uses data. Then you can look at each one and see its foreground/background usage. If the app uses background data, then it's a possible culprit.
It's not tge easiest method, but it would be a heck of a lot better than uninstalling apps one by one to find the one using data.

Sorry, I went to work today then lost this thread for a while, lol.
Like I said, it isn't the best solution, but it'll be better than uninstalling apps one at a time.
What you need to do is start at the top of the (which are apps using the most data). Tap the app and look at the amount of background data being used. If it's 0.0, then that app isn't using data in the background. If it's some other amount, it is and you can check the "Restrict Background Data" option. This will prevent the app from using background data until you unchecked that option. Then test to see if the message pops up. If so, then that app wasn't the culprit, so uncheck the background data option and go the next app in the list. Repeat.
Hint: start with the Google apps in the list. I suspect Google Services, but I could be wrong.

I found the app! It was the app that came with the flip cover. It's a led cover (smart shell for Note 4) but I still get the message. Even with the background data restricted. Can I completely make sure this app doesn't access Internet cause it really doesn't need it. When I turn off my phone or delete data for the app it doesn'tshow the message for a while.... But after a while it's back....

So I'm guessing that that's a 3rd party (non-Samsung) led cover?
I have no experience with them personally, but I've read quite a few issues with people using 3rd party LED covers. Especially when on Lollipop.
I don't really know how to restrict an app from using FOREGROUND data, so I did a quick Google search.
"If you don't have root access on the device, then you can use mobiwol to control the access various apps have to the Internet. Mobiwol creates a 'virtual' VPN connection on the device which allows control of the individual app connections. However, although the app starts when the device starts it is possible that there may be a brief period prior to Mobiwol executing in which apps could get Internet access despite the Mobiwol configuration."
Source: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...from-accessing-the-internet-on-android-device
" If your device is not rooted, so no problem, there are some applications that use some trick that can prevent apps from being connected to internet, such as NoRoot Firewall.
The Trick of NoRoot Firewall is that it opens a Fake VPN connection for making the phone to send all the packets to the Application then you can define for the application which one to allow and which one to deny. So it does not require root access."
Source: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/75939/how-to-prevent-specific-apps-from-using-mobile-data
I don't know how to use these apps, so I won't be able to help with getting them working for you, but you can give them a try if you want. Other than that, Android doesn't natively support restricting a specific app from using any type of data, other than simply shutting down data for the entire phone.

hello guys i need help how to prevent my openvpn to auto stop im my phone.. when i use openvpn and playing online games after a few mins openvpn stop any suggestions how to fix this issue?
huawei y6 2018
ATU-L22
version: 8.0.0.142(c636)
Same problem here
It's not just openvpn.
I tried some other vpn's and nothing lasts.
They keep on closing every time I open another app.
I think it is a problem of the device's latest update (8.0.0.142).
I tried to fix this problem with several options on the developers option, but nothing happens.
And it is "weird" because this update automatically activates the Developers Option.
I'm still looking forward for a solution tho.
Please disable battery optimization for openvpn.
When it's running in background, your phone kills the app automatically to optimize battery consumption.

It's not just VPN apps but other apps too, so you should update your thread title. Anyway, just go to Settings->Battery->Launch and uncheck your VPN app. Next, make sure Auto Start, Secondary Launch and Run in Background are all checked. Also, try using a low graphics setting in your game to reduce ram usage and to reduce the chance of background apps getting killed
Is this
Same as mine. Huawei y6 2018. VPN connected for a few min then it will stop. Any help?

found the solution, though i can't find the direct access to it.
1. go to settings
2. battery
3. click optimize... then you will be redirected to options. you will find the view intensive app.
4. got to intensive app menu then turn off the manage automatically of every app that you wish to stay alive in the background.
i got rid of it now my vpn and other apps stays alive on the background.

Give other protocols a try. OpenVPN e.g. takes some resources that our crappy Chinese phones simply don't have. Right now I'm using Wireguard. The provider's client doesn't work that well, but the official wireguard client works excellent.
Besides that I've installed Shizuku manager and Icebox. With Icebox you can disable any user- or system app without the need for root. I've disabled most of the Huawei ****ty apps to save resources. If you disable optimizing features as well your phone won't force stop apps anymore. Instead of keeping as much RAM free as possible it will be using all RAM availlable. Apps will be more responsive and will only be killed by Android in case of OOM. Your phone's battery charge will last a day easy.
So it looks like there are many people having issues with the battery optimization feature, which lets me guess oneplus is already aware of the problem. My question is if there is a way to disable the optimization completely for now until oneplus has sorted things out.
Since the last update it is so aggressive, it kills youtube's connection to my chromecast every few minutes, rendering all control features unuseable as I always have to reconnect before I can do anything. This also makes my wearOS watch unuseable as it also depends on the phone keeping the connections alive.
You can turn off Optimization for YouTube and WearOS
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Special app access
You can turn off optimization for any app, and see the advanced in the 3 dot menu. I had the same problem with my watch, turned off the watch app and helper, now works great. I also turned off messenger, no problems now.

I also would like to know if this is possible in an easy way. I don't want to disable it for 256 apps independently.

Thanks for the reply!
That setting was the first thing I checked and already disabled optimization for the wearOS and cast apps which work fine now. Unfortunately it won't let me disable it for the youtube app as it handles that one as a system app. As long as youtube is not allowed in the background wearOS has nothing to communicate with so I still can't control it.
That's why my next thought was if I can't disable it for system apps maybe there is a way to completely disable it until oneplus has the problem solved. I know that solution would suck but at the moment I am forced to use another phone to use youtube properly which sucks even more imo.

I wonder if the system mover app works on Pie and YouTube? I didn't realize YouTube was a system app since it's from the play store.

I would love to try this but I am unrooted. Youtube should be on the list but it is not, I am guessing that is because it comes preinstalled, the playstore app isn't there as well for example.
I know this is an old thread, but the more I use my new phone, the more I believe this to be the issue with my Gmail app constantly putting my Exchange accounts back to 30 minute fetch. And, I cannot disable battery optimization on Gmail because it's a system app (and I do not want to root). For now, every other day, I have to tell the device that it really is OK for Gmail to remain constantly connected to my Exchange account, that I actually prefer it to be. I've made it to 54 hours with my normal use (OVER 7 HRS S.O.T), not trying to stretch it at all, no battery saving features on whatsoever. So it's safe to say I can afford for Gmail to stay connected with Exchange. The optimization is a bit too aggressive for not allowing system apps to be excluded.
I've also had issues with Google Assistant not reminding me about reminders that are clearly in the list of her reminders, and I think this to be the culprit as well, and again, can't disable it because it's not on the list.

Having exactly same problems with gmail and chrome (html5 push notifications). I am rooted. So I am considering to mark those apps as non system apps, but still not sure if this won't brake future updates or something.
