Battery optimisations

Post by Vinmar » March 11th, 2025, 1:59 am

Every time I open the concept 2 app " battery optimisation" appears. I've tried everything to stop this popping up but so far no success. It's a very small annoyance but I can't get rid of it. Perhaps it's my phone. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You have to tell the phone not to optimise the app for battery usage - pretty sure it sends you directly to the place where you need to set it. otherwise it's battery optimisation in the settings.

If the list doesn't current show ergdata then you need to go to all apps, (easier to search for erg in the top bar) and then turn from optimised to not optimised.

the short of it is - if you leave this setting on, the BT connection can be dropped on rest periods.

This bugs me as well, and your post prompted me to do a search. I don't have a reddit account, so this should be visible to everyone. I have Samsung/Android, but the Pixel comment at the end shone some light on the subject. I set mine to Optimized, and will see if that makes it go away. I don't really want it to be Unrestricted.

Seems as though you have to click on the words, which aren't highlighted like a link or anythig, so it isn't intuitive.

Same on my Pixel. I think I finally got rid of it now!

I set it to Optimized, did a session, and still got the message. I guess I need to set it to Unrestricted, although that's not my preference.

Mine is just Optimized or "not optimized" - and until I changed it to the latter, I got the prompt every time it connected.

I think it's a newer android version thing - never had it before on my old phone.
