App only works, when phone is active (screen on) about swisscovid-app-android HOT 6 OPEN

Are there instructions I've missed? I think to give the app the full potential the app needs to recognize such problems and help the user to configure the phone.

I've found other users with different phones (Xiaomi A3, ...), which have the same problem. It seems like the app usually doesn't work if the device is sleeping. I don't see any activity of exchanged data anywhere. What is the best way to verify the app works?

Even with battery optimization set to "Not optimized"? Could be doze related

Hmm.. no the notification still appears after the phone screen was off for a few minutes. Also I cannot imagine that a normal user digs into the settings and sets this.

I tested the app on a Oneplus 6 with Android 10 and can't reproduce this problem. Is it possible, that you have a battery saver app installed (that automatically deactivates Bluetooth when the screen is turned off and reactivates it once it is back on)? This would explain this behaviour. You should then reconfigure your battery saver to keep Bluetooth activated.

The phone is pretty much unmodified (stock rom, no optimization apps). I've restarted the phone (after I've changed the setting to not optimized) and it seems to work now!
