Fix Android Battery Optimization Issues

Here is how you fix battery optimization issues when you update to Android 9. It came to our attention that updating a device to Android 9 may automatically optimize the battery settings. Unfortunately, the optimized battery setting prevents the Per Diem Plus FLEETS and Per Diem Plus - Owner Operators app from waking up to establish location.

Follow these steps to adjust the battery optimization setting for Per Diem Plus Fleets on your Android device:

  • Device home screen select open Per Diem Plus Fleets
  • Select > Help Menu > Change Battery Settings
  • Scroll to Per Diem Plus Fleet
  • Turn OFF “Optimize Battery Usage” setting

Follow these steps to adjust the battery optimization setting Per Diem Plus - Owner Operators on your Android device:

  • Device Home screen select > Settings
  • Select > Device maintenance
  • Select > Battery
  • Power Savings Mode > Select OFF
  • Select > Sleeping Apps
  • Set Per Diem Plus to Unmonitored

This setting prevents Android from blocking the app from tracking per diem trips.
