Solution for users
noki ## What optimization apps does Samsung have?
Android Pie and higher: Device care
Android Oreo or Nougat: Device maintenance
Android Marshmallow or below: Smart manager
Galaxy S9 / S10
Battery optimization is turned on by default. At some unclear moments (maybe on app update, OS update?), the settings also do revert back to the defaults, forcing you to turn them off again and again.Below are walkthrough screenshots for Galaxy S10. Please let us know your feedback about whether it works for S9 (or others) as well. Thanks!
Sleeping apps
Sleeping apps menu is the sniper’s nest for Samsung’s app killing policies. Make sure to follow the instructions very carefully to prevent the apps from being killed.
Checklist:
Tasker Kill App No Root
Disable Put unused apps to sleep
Disable Auto-disable unused apps
Remove your app from the list of sleeping apps
Disable background restrictions for your app
Warning: Make sure Put unused apps to sleep and Auto-disable unused apps is disabled. Otherwise, Samsung will put your apps back to sleep after a few days (3 by default) even if you have woken them up manually!
Galaxy S8 (j6ltedx) and later
Tasker Kill App Not Working
With the introduction of their flagship Galaxy S8 (and with some earlier experiments), Samsung has introduced a flawed attempt at prolonging battery life called App power monitor.
For your apps to work correctly, please whitelist them in App power monitor.
How to do it:
Open the Settings > Device maintenance > Battery and at the bottom you’ll see a list of your most frequently used apps. You can manage apps individually or in a group by selecting them then tapping the big Save power button. Apps that are sleeping will appear in the Sleeping apps list at the bottom (tap it to expand the list). Scrolling further — all the way to the very bottom — and you’ll find Unmonitored apps. These are apps that you specifically want to exclude (whitelist) from App power monitor evil reach.
When inside the Unmonitored apps menu, you can tap the 3-dot menu to add or delete apps from the list. Rather than bothering with any of that, you can just turn off the App power monitor feature completely as it has little-to-no impact on battery life and only serves to handicap the normal functioning of your Galaxy device.
It’s excessive and in some cases downright misleading, using scare tactics to keep you reliant on Samsung’s software when other Android devices get by just fine without it.
Tasker Kill App
On other Samsung phones, the path may look like this:
Phone settings > Applications > select three dot menu (top right corner) > Special Access > Optimize Battery usage > Find your app on the list and make sure that it is not selected.
Tasker Kill App After Time
Note: If you enable “Edge Lighting” for your app, the app will not be able to wake up your screen. To allow your app to wake up your screen, please remove it from the Edge Lighting applications list.
