When trying yet another pedometer app (this one is called "Pedometer - Step Counter" I did this
- My profile
- How to fix the "stop counting steps" issue
- Update settings
- Next
- Go to set
- All apps
- Pedometer - Step Counter (or whatever is the name of your pedometer)
- Battery optimization
- Click "ALL APPS" this is important
- Click on don't optimize
So then I figured out how to get right to "Battery Optimization." Just go to settings, and type into the search "battery optimization."
