How to remove background restrictions from Arccos Caddie on Android? Follow
Arccos Caddie requires background activity in order to function properly. The app needs access to your location while in play and certain manufacturers of Android devices have different settings/restrictions for apps to run in the background.
I didn't change any Arccos Caddie settings. How did the app get on this list?
Some manufacturers put apps on a "sleeping" list and restrict background usage automatically if you haven't used the app in some period of time.
How do I allow Arccos Caddie to run in the background?
Depending on your device manufacturer see below:
Samsung - Android 11
- Open your device settings page (not in the Arccos Caddie app)
- Open "Battery and device care"
- Open "Battery"
- Open "Background usage limits"
- Check the "Sleeping apps" and "Deep sleeping apps" and check if the Arccos Caddie app is in either list.
If the app is in either list, tap on the 3 dots on the top right -> edit apps -> uncheck the Arccos Caddie app -> Tap remove
- If you'd like to make sure the Arccos Caddie app is not added to this list without your consent, you may add Arccos Caddie to the "Never sleeping apps"
If the app is not in either list, open the device settings again.
- Open "Apps"
- Open "Arccos Caddie"
- Open "Battery"
- Ensure that the "Allow background activity" is checked
