alt Hacker NewsOn my (Pixel based) LineageOS ROM, you can disable enough power saving settings to make Termux work well again. Unfortunately, many vendors remove half the settings from their interfaces and make their app killers extra aggressive (just to spite people, it seems, because battery life doesn't seem affected in my experience).
If your phone's manufacturer disabled the necessary power saving settings, I doubt they'll enable them for the Android 15 terminal.

Don't forget all the crap they can run in the freed capacity now!

To be fair, for every well behaved background app (ie. a ssh server that's listening on a socket, which should consume basically zero power), there's probably 10 other misbehaving app that's phoning home every 30 seconds for ad/tracking/analytics purposes. Moreover, "battery life" is a metric that often shows up on reviews, so it makes sense to game this metric as hard as possible, especially since most people probably aren't running servers 24/7 on their phones.
