I have come to realize that the option to exclude some apps from battery optimization (Doze) has disappeared from my phone. I do remember being able to do so once since the MM update, but it no longer appears as an option in the 3-dot menu in Power. The only available option is "reset app preferences". I would like it back, so if anyone can point me to it, I'd be indebted!
Thanks
UPDATE:
Thanks to mfreeland on Android central:
Go to Power>Battery Optimization>Tap Battery optimization Not optimized, choose All apps. The list will pop up and you can choose for each app.

I just installed a ROM (Senseless ROM 1.1) and I'm liking it a lot. But I noticed something odd when pressing and holding the "home" key to bring up the "recent apps" list. Every few minutes the oldest items drop off the end of the list.
So initially maybe I have 4 apps in the list, then after a while of switching between apps 1 and 2, suddenly there are only 3 apps in the list, then 2. And eventually it even drops down to 0 so the app I'm currently running isn't even in the list. Does the stock phone do this too and I only just now noticed it or is this feature only an issue with my particular ROM? What aspect of android controls the app switcher (if that's what it's called).
I'm using launcher-pro if it matters, and I haven't installed any task switchers from the market. I might consider getting one of the market task switchers as a decent workaround, but I'm not necessarily keen on the interface they all seem to use (tap home -> task switcher; tap home twice -> home screen of your launcher that you would otherwise get to with a single tap).
I haven't yet found any settings for controlling the app switcher. Are there any, and where do they live?
I almost can't imagine that this is an intentional design feature of the "recent app" history, but after an LED "notification" light that turns off after 5 minutes, anything is possible.
For what it's worth I started using the market app "PreHome" as a task switcher and am finding it a good replacement for the default. Now I just hit [home] once to bring up the PreHome app which maintains a good history, and never use the hold [home] to get the default android task history.
Oddly enough I haven't been able to reproduce the original problem I had reported, even when I do use the default switcher for a while.
I knew this would happen.. as soon as I reported that it wasn't reproducing anymore I started hitting the problem again. At least the part where semi-old items start dropping off the history list. I still haven't yet reproduce a history list containing 0 items.
Browsing the web seems to be the most reliable way to make older apps fall off the end of the list. Specifically I was browsing m.zedge.net listening to ringtones.
Anyway the only new news is that when an item drops out of the traditional app history list, it also dropped out of the PreHome app's list.
If I end an app in the task manager it remains in the multi-tasking menu. Is this the way it's supposed to be?
I think the Multi-tasking wil also show recent applications, not just applications that are still running.

I believe that to be the case. The "Multitasking" window is really just a fancier version of the recent apps menu we've had for a long time now.
Hi, this may have been asked before, but I can't seem to find a straight answer for it:
I've got a Huawei Mate 10 Pro. The damn phone keeps killing apps running in the background, no matter how I configure the "Launch" menu. Is there any way to prevent the phone from killing apps running in the background? Even the 'Lock' button on the apps in the app manager screen doesn't prevent that from happening!
It's worth mentioning that my phone is not rooted, nor is going to be any time soon, since it seems so much riskier to root this phone than it is with other phones.

Go to settings - battery - launch and find the app you don't want to be terminated then change to manual mode(ensure that you enable the 3 options especially run in background)
Or go to special access - ignore Battery optimization - select all apps then scroll to the app you want not to be terminated, tap on it, select allow then click OK and exit

Amazing, thank you very very much!!
Honestly, the power settings on this phone are horrible!
You're welcome
A lot of settings need to do.

Hi,
I have a wierd issue, recently noticed that none of my application injected context menu (menu that appears when you long press an application icon) is visible.
The standard menu option such as 'App Info' , and 'Uuinstall' are available. But things like 'My Apps' in Google Play or 'New Tab' in Chrome are not available. None of my apps have this app specific menus.
I am sure it was there for a long time and I lost it now for all apps. Looks like something changed in a Android wide setting.
I am on Pixel Experience Oreo ROM, could you please help me bring it back.
Often when I press the recent apps button to choose an app that I was just using, the app resets (often I have to re-enter the app password - extra aggravating).
I reset the cache partition but can't think of anything else.
As info - it has been occuring since I got the phone. I doubt it's a RAM issue because I'm using the same apps the I was using on a much older phone.
Any help, please?
Check battery usage settings. Look for optimized apps and disabled it for your apps.
If still not working, try this:
Activate Developer options by going to Settings -> About phone.
Tap repeatedly on Build Number (5 times). Go back to main screen of Settings and tap on Developer options.
Scroll down and verify the following:
-> "Don't keep activities" is off
-> Adjust "Background process limit" to "At most, 4 processes". (default is standard limit)
