If recording on Android is unreliable, please check the following:

**Permissions and notifications**

Make sure all permissions and notifications for the WST app are allowed:

- Long-press the WST app icon

- Select “App info”

- Under “Notifications”, ensure notifications are enabled and all relevant categories are allowed

**Background and battery optimization**

The app must be allowed to run in the background and must not be restricted by battery optimization:

- The app should be allowed to run in the background

- It should be excluded from battery optimization or on a whitelist

For device-specific instructions, see: [https://dontkillmyapp.com](https://dontkillmyapp.com)

**Good signal reception**

Stable recording depends on good reception:

- Wearing the device under the wetsuit can reduce signal quality

- Prefer wearing a watch over the wetsuit

- Or a phone in a case over the wetsuit, ideally on the upper arm
