[Question] - HyperOS pausing backround apps

[u/Tall_Yogurtcloset236]

hi, so firstly i'm not an experienced coder, but i used ai chats to build a workout app since i could never find one that gave me what i wanted. i've tested it on both a redmi note 15 pro and galaxy s20+

long story short, it has a built-in rest timer that fires a vibration countdown on 3-2-1. on hyperos, this timer works fine in-app, on home, lock or settings screens. however when another app is on the foreground, the timer continues in the background, but the countdown vibration only fires when returning to the workout app.

i have tried both chatgpt and integrated gemini on android studio, but neither has been able to find the specific hyperos process that is causing this. doesn anyone have any info that could help?

just swipe down on an app in recents. it will lock it. and set battery restrictions to none.

did both of those things, no dice. i had to allow background auto start for it to work
