### General Android Power Settings

#### 1. Battery Optimization

1. Go to **Settings** → **Battery** (or **Battery saver / Battery optimization**).
2. Locate **shdwDrive** in the list.
3. Set it to **Not optimized** or **Unrestricted**.
4. This ensures the system does not close the app in the background.

#### 2. App-Specific Power Controls

1. **Settings** → **Apps** → **shdwDrive** → **Battery** (or similar).
2. Toggle **Allow background activity** to **On**.
3. Disable any “Battery optimization” or “Restrict background data” specifically for **shdwDrive**.

***

### App Background Behavior

#### 1. App Management Settings

* Never manually force-stop the **shdwDrive** app.
* Keep **shdwDrive** in your Recent Apps (avoid swiping it away).
* If there’s an **Auto-start / Auto-launch** feature, turn it on for **shdwDrive**.
* Allow it to run in the background continuously.

#### 2. Memory Management

* Exclude **shdwDrive** from any memory cleaners or “one-tap boost” apps.
* Turn off automatic hibernation for the app.
* Confirm **shdwDrive** is on any “Do not optimize” or “White list” for battery/memory.

***

### Battery Management

#### 1. Power Maintenance

* If possible, keep your device plugged in while the node runs.
* Avoid or disable aggressive power-saving modes that close apps at low battery.
* Set your low-battery threshold to around 15% so **shdwDrive** won’t be shut down prematurely.
* A dedicated power supply can help if you’re running the node for extended periods.

#### 2. Battery Optimization

* Disable **Adaptive Battery** specifically for **shdwDrive**.
* Turn off “Optimize for battery life” for **shdwDrive**.
* Remove it from any “sleeping apps” or “deep-sleep” lists.

***

### System-Level Optimization

#### 1. Memory Settings

* If your device has **Developer Options**:
  * Set **Background process limit** to **Standard** or **No limit**.
* Disable or reduce any “memory optimization” tools that might kill background processes.

#### 2. Performance Mode

* Use **High performance** mode if available for stable connectivity.
* Reduce or disable thermal throttling on gaming/performance phones if comfortable.
* Ensure the device has adequate cooling to avoid forced closures.
