Important notes

Various manufacturers (including Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and OnePlus) have been tightening their battery management policies for some time in order to improve battery life. In many cases, this automatically prevents the background activity of apps in certain constellations if the user does not explicitly allow it for an app. This can also affect the STARFACE Mobile App, so that in certain cases, for example, no calls or chat messages are signalled in the STARFACE App.

We therefore recommend that you check the system settings on your device regarding prioritised background activity and adjust the settings if necessary.

Via the following link, you can find a small exemplary instruction as an error guide (based on some device-specific examples):
Error guide - Calls are not displayed in the Mobile Client.

STARFACE Mobile Client for Android, Version 6.7.7 (Build 348), Release Date: 16.02.2021

Version 6.7.7 (Release Date: 16.02.2021)

Important notes

  • Various manufacturers (including Huawei, Xiaomi and OnePlus) have recently tightened their battery management policies for many devices in the course of optimizing battery consumption. This prevents the background activity of apps in certain constellations if the user does not explicitly allow it for an app. It is possible that this stricter policy for handling background activity of apps may also have an impact on the STARFACE Mobile Client. We therefore recommend checking the settings on the device side with regard to prioritized background activity and adjusting the settings if necessary. Important settings are 1. "Deactivate battery optimization for the app" and 2. "Set the respective app to 'Manually manage' under App-Start". In addition, it may be necessary to adjust the settings for prioritizing the notifications of the STARFACE app on some devices to ensure that the app notifications (e.g. for incoming calls) are still displayed as usual. These settings may differ slightly depending on manufacturer, device and Android version.

  • The following link provides a brief guide to this (with some device-specific examples): Error Guide - Calls are not displayed in the Mobile Client.
