OK - Third night success!! 👍 So here is the recap for me when I forget in a few months time.

Jelly Pro running Android 8.1. I have had a 100% capture rate for the last 2 hours.

I was getting a reading no problem but then the Bluetooth would basically stop working and I would not get any readings when the screen was off. It turns out there are quite a few places where you need to change “battery saving” permissions. I tried to follow another thread (link at the bottom) but I had troubles finding the exact settings that were documented on the phone. So here is is what I did which is a bit of a repeat from the other thread but hopefully this helps find some of those settings.

**Settings → Battery - \> three dots on the top right - \> Battery Optimization**

Then you have to hit the pull down thing and select “All Apps”

You should now see a million apps and system things…

I changed the following to “Not Optimized” - Not sure if I need them all.

1. Bluetooth (This is key!)
2. BT Tool (I have not idea but whatever)
3. Bluetooh MIDI (I like MIDI)
4. Network Manager (Not sure - I have to test)
5. Network Location (Not sure - I have to test)
6. xDrip+ (THis is key!)

Go back up a screen and I set the following:

1. Stanby Intelligent Power - OFF
2. Battery Saver - OFF

Ok - done with the Battery Settings now go to…

**Settings → Smart Assistant → Power Save Manager**

I have - “Power save manager” = ON  
On **White list** I have **xDrip+** checked

I was missing this before which may have been the cause of my problems. Now go to…

**Settings → Smart Assistant → Battery Saving Mode → Battery profiles**

Make sure “My profile” is selected. Click on the settings for “My profile”…

It should say:  
WLAN - on  
Mobile Networks - Off (I do no have a SIM card - if you do this may need to be on)  
Bluetooh = ON (the switch is a blue colour to the right)  
GPS = ON (I am not sure if I need this but it is on right now)

Schedule for switch profile is off on the previous screen.

Now… Back to **Settings** I have DuraSpeed off.

**Settings → Security & location → Location**

Location = ON  
Mode = High Accuracy

Click on “App-level permissions”  
Make sure xDrip+ is set to ON at the bottom of the list.

Location seems to need to be on for xDrip+ but I am not sure of the best settings. These ones work.

Once I did all those things everything worked. In terms of setting up xdrip+ I got the settings from this thread…

> We are and she is delighted with the phone. I was in contact with a couple of more people on Facebook and they did give good advice in relation to the battery. He said not to drain it completely too often as this is meant to affect the battery performance in the long term. We only need to get from 8am to 8pm so what we are not in that territory. Ava has Congenital Hyperinsulinism. Its kind of the opposite of diabetes. She had a subtotal pancreatectomy . However she still has faulty cells pumpin…

EDIT: still running 100% capture for 2.5 hours and the range from the phone is pretty good. Now having 🍷 🙂
