My smart lock kept disconnecting from the app and it took me three whole days to realize the problem was my own phone's battery saver mode killing the background process.

I mean, I reset the lock twice, reinstalled the app, and even checked my router before I finally saw a tiny forum comment about Android's aggressive power management, which was the fix all along, so has anyone else had a gadget act up because of a phone setting you forgot about?

My fitness tracker wouldn't sync until I turned off battery optimization for its app in my phone settings.

Used to blame the tracker, definitely changing my view on that.

Android's battery saver is way too aggressive sometimes.
