Battery Optimization for OfficeXtend and nCommand Plus on Android

[Alexander_Mair]

To maintain smooth push notification, disable battery optimization in the device settings. This prevents interference and ensures the smooth receipt of push notifications.

Most Android smartphones optimize battery by putting the network interfaces in a low consumption mode. This optimization has a significant negative impact on push notifications. Disable battery optimization for the apps in your Android device settings so that receiving incoming calls via push notifications is not impacted.

The following sections explain the steps to disable the battery optimization for our apps including nCommand+, and OfficeXtend.
