For HTC devices, it's important to check these settings to ensure your phone is not preventing Hurdlr from running: Battery Optimization, Battery Saver, and Extreme Power Saving Mode.

Battery Optimization

Some devices have built-in battery optimization settings that will shut down "the activity of seldom used apps." This feature can prevent apps like Hurdlr from being able to run properly in the background. To allow Hurdlr to run follow the steps below:

  1. Open your device's Settings

  2. Tap "Battery"

  3. Tap the menu button

  4. Tap "Battery Optimization"

  5. Tap "All Apps"

  6. Find Hurdlr and disable this feature

Battery Saver

This feature will turn off location services for your apps automatically, so Hurdlr is not able to run when it's enabled. It can be triggered automatically without your knowledge when your battery is low, so to avoid any issues, you should disable it. You can disable it by following the steps below:

  1. Open your device's Settings

  2. Tap "Battery"

  3. Tap "Battery Saver"

  4. Turn it off

Extreme Power Saving Mode

When your phone battery goes below a certain setting, it may automatically turn on Extreme Power Saving Mode, which only allows your phone to use basic functions. We recommend disabling this setting, or verifying the battery level selected.

  1. Open Settings

  2. Tap "Power"

  3. Tap Off for "Extreme Power Saving Mode", or select a lower battery level
