Can changing OS stop my Wiko phone (Android 10) from killing background apps?
Hello,
I have a wiko view 5+ on android 10, and it keeps killing background apps to reduce battery usage. I followed all the advice on https://dontkillmyapp.com but it still does it. I reset factory settings and the problem is still there.
I was wondering, could changing OS solve that problem? Or is this kind of thing unrelated to the OS?
When you say you followed the advice there, be specific about what you've tried. For example did you completely disable doze mode in dev options, which it suggests "when all else fails"?
But yes, different OS behaves different, and different version of the same OS behaves different. That page didn't seem to cover Android 10/Q which maybe changed something, at least under AOSP which was the only one I looked at.

Thank you for your response. And sorry, I cannot reply quickly. To put it briefly my problem now seems to be solved, thanks for making me check. So indeed the advice they give does not apply exactly to my version of Android, or at least to what I saw in parameters. For example I didn't find any "advanced settings". I had done this a long time ago so I double checked in order to answer you (thank you!). My battery saving setting was already on "intelligent mode" and not in any of the two "eco" modes that I have. But I think "adaptative battery" (translation might not be accurate) was activated and I deactivated it. Also I noticed the app "duraspeed" in parameters, that kills background apps and de-activated it, and one or all of these things seem to have done the trick because my app wasn't killed in the last 24h.
