OxygenOS resets battery optimization settings for OnePlus users

OxygenOS resets bombardment optimization settings for OnePlus users

Coupled with OxygenOS' ambitious battery optimization, the Bone shuts off your apps

OnePlus's OxygenOS software doesn't typically make many changes to the stock Android formula, just one area it has changed has caused frustration with some users.

OnePlus has ramped up the battery optimization in OxygenOS, making information technology more ambitious than Android's default. Unfortunately, this means the OS may close some apps you desire kept open up. Worse, for some reason, if you disable or change battery optimization settings, OxygenOS will reset them on its own.

While it'due south likely a bug, it'due south non articulate what's causing the behaviour. Several reports have cropped on XDA and OnePlus forums, and it appears the behaviour affects OxygenOS on both Oreo and Pie from the OnePlus 3 upwards to the 6T.

While I haven't messed with the optimization myself, I have noticed the ambitious optimization coming into play. On several occasions, the phone has shut off my podcast or music while I was listening.

And that'southward exactly where the trouble lies. Because the bombardment optimization kills apps and so aggressively, users want to turn off optimization for apps. However, OxygenOS will reset those optimization settings. The reset happens randomly; sometimes a reboot causes information technology, other times it happens on its own.

A OnePlus spokesperson told Android Police that the visitor was aware of the reports and was looking into information technology. Hopefully, that ways OnePlus users will see a fix for the issue soon, which would alleviate one of OxygenOS' pain points.
