Android

In early 2022, Android (and various other phone manufacturers) began updating their devices to prioritize battery optimization even if it meant that basic functionality within current apps may no longer work as expected. Every time a user downloads a new app or updates an app, Android is automatically enabling (or reenabling) their new “Battery Optimization” feature. CXT Software is unable to control or alter any phone settings outside of the CXT Driver App.

To ensure that you are able to enjoy the full functionality of the CXT Driver App and all its features, it is important that you disable "android battery optimization".
