General Android Power Settings

1. Battery Optimization

  1. Go to SettingsBattery (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. SettingsAppsshdwDriveBattery (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.

Final Tips

  • Check Settings After Updates: System updates can revert your battery or background settings. Review them after each update.

  • Stay Plugged In: A stable power source ensures you won’t lose node connectivity when battery runs low.

  • Monitor Node Activity: If the node goes offline, revisit settings to confirm none have changed.

By following these instructions on your Android 12L+ device, you’ll help keep shdwDrive running reliably in the background for maximum node uptime. Good luck and happy node-running!
