@SaltyIceteaMaker I installed miniflux, a rss reader, on it. Sadly android constantly kills the internet connecting when the screen turns off, so I can't use it as a server to access it from my other devices. I have tried everything I could find to prevent that from happening.

Maybe an app like FakeStandby would work.

If your device has an AMOLED screen it should be basically the same as having the screen turned off. You could just disable the screen timeout and use FakeStandby to turn off all the pixels without actually "turning off" the screen

@poweruser Sadly it doesn't have an AMOLED screen (cheap samsung tablet) but as a last resort it might be worth a shot. Thanks

If you just turn off the battery optimization for Termux It won't happen.

@kionite231 Was the first thing I tried. Termux even has a "wake lock" function but that also doesn't seem to prevent it.
