Samsung with One UI

We could not test it on a Samsung: it comes from public sources, which for recent versions (One UI 5 or later) only show screenshots. The exact names can change with the model and the version.

2. Settings › Battery › Background usage limits: remove Reditu from «Sleeping apps» and add it to «Never sleeping apps». Also turn off «Put unused apps to sleep».Not tested on a phone: from public sources

Huawei / Honor with EMUI

We could not test it on a Huawei: it comes from public sources about EMUI. On phones with HarmonyOS the menus change and we have no checked steps. On some EMUI 9 or later, a system component (PowerGenie) can close apps even if you do everything; it cannot be fixed from the settings.

1. Settings › Battery › App launch: set Reditu to «Manage manually» and turn on every option.Not tested on a phone: from public sources
2. Search Settings for «Battery optimisation» and make sure Reditu is not optimised.Not tested on a phone: from public sources
3. Lock Reditu in recents so it does not close when you clear them.Not tested on a phone: from public sources

Oppo / Realme with ColorOS

We could not test it on an Oppo or a Realme. The public source describes a single old model (ColorOS 6) and the menus of recent versions change quite a lot: take it as a guide.

1. In Reditu's app info, turn on «Allow auto start-up» (or turn it on in Security centre › Startup manager).Not tested on a phone: from public sources
2. In Battery on Reditu's app info, choose «Run in background» (or «Allow background activity») and turn optimisation off.Not tested on a phone: from public sources
3. Lock Reditu in recents.Not tested on a phone: from public sources

OnePlus with OxygenOS

We could not test it on a OnePlus: it comes from public sources. System updates can undo these settings, so it is worth checking them every now and then.

1. Settings › Battery › Battery optimisation: switch to «All apps», pick Reditu and choose «Don't optimise».Not tested on a phone: from public sources
2. In that same menu (three dots) › Advanced optimisation: turn off «Deep optimisation» (or «Adaptive battery»), which closes the most apps.Not tested on a phone: from public sources
3. Lock Reditu in recents: press and hold its window and tap the padlock in the corner. It helps, but it is not completely reliable.Not tested on a phone: from public sources

Android (no manufacturer layer)

Your phone has no guide of its own. These steps work on almost any Android, but the exact names can change with the model and the version.

1. Battery: set Reditu to «Unrestricted» (on some phones it is called «Don't optimise» or «Allow background usage»).Not tested on a phone: from public sources
2. In Reditu's app info, turn off «Pause app activity if unused» (or «Remove permissions if app isn't used»).Not tested on a phone: from public sources
3. In Permissions › Location, choose «Allow all the time».Not tested on a phone: from public sources
4. To keep the screen from turning off while you look at the map: Reditu's Settings › This phone › Screen on.Checked on a real phone
