I just upgraded from a Pixel 7a to a Pixel 8a, both on Android 14. In widget settings on the new phone I’m seeing the message, “Battery optimization is ON for Flowx. This may cause widget update issues.” It does. My location and other settings sometimes change. When I click TURN OFF, I’m taken to App Battery Usage, where “Allow background usage” is enabled. This didn’t happen with the old phone. Any thoughts? Thanks ---

No I don’t. I hate Android battery optimization and rules - they are restrictive and change all the time. For example, when you click on the button, Google has a rule that doesn’t allow me to take you to the exact place where you can turn it off. Sorry I don’t a Pixel so I can’t guide you. You’ll need to look online or just try things out. ---

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll reach it some more. ---

I asked Gemini how to turn off battery optimization: To turn off battery optimization on a Google Pixel 8a, you can do the following: 1. Open Settings - Tap Battery - Tap the three-dot menu icon in the corner of the screen - Tap Battery Optimization - Select the All apps list from the drop-down menu - Choose the app you want to turn off optimization for - Select Don’t optimize At step 3, “\* Tap Battery Optimization,” I gave up. It doesn’t exist! Duane, I don’t envy you having to deal with this nonsense. Fortunately it doesn’t affect the functional of your great app. 😁 ---

I honestly got really excited. I thought “Great, a replacement for me”, People can just use Gemini and post the results here. I was deflated when I read “I gave up. I doesn’t exist” ---
