OnePlus phones run OxygenOS (older models) or a OxygenOS skin on top of ColorOS (newer models since the OPPO/OnePlus merger). Both apply moderate battery optimization on top of stock Android, similar to but less aggressive than Samsung.

Setup steps

Step 1 — turn on Tetracom’s “Stay connected” toggle

  1. Open Tetracom → gear icon (top right).
  2. Scroll to Connection.
  3. Turn ON Stay connected when phone is locked.

Step 2 — battery: Don’t optimize

  1. Settings → Apps → App management → Tetracom → Battery usage
  2. Choose Unrestricted (or “Don’t optimize”).
  3. Turn ON Allow background activity.

Step 3 — Battery optimization (whitelist)

  1. Settings → Battery → Battery optimization
  2. Tap the dropdown at top, switch from “Optimized” to All apps.
  3. Find Tetracom → tap → Don’t optimize.

Step 4 — App auto-launch (newer ColorOS-based models)

If your OnePlus has “App auto-launch” — newer OxygenOS-on-ColorOS — this needs to be enabled too.

  1. Settings → Apps → App auto-launch
  2. Find Tetracom → turn ON.

Step 5 — Recent tasks: lock Tetracom (older OxygenOS only)

On older OxygenOS, swiping the recent-apps view kills locked apps unless you specifically lock them. This is mostly resolved on OxygenOS 13+ but worth checking.

  1. Open the recent-apps view (gesture or button).
  2. Find Tetracom; tap-and-hold its preview.
  3. Pick Lock (the padlock icon).

Common OnePlus questions

Zen Mode kills Tetracom — how do I exempt it?
Zen Mode is intentionally aggressive (it’s a focus tool). You cannot exempt individual apps from Zen Mode in OxygenOS — blurts during Zen will arrive when you exit Zen. This is probably the desired behavior; if not, don’t use Zen Mode for periods when you need Tetracom.
I have a Nord — does this guide apply?
Yes. All current OnePlus models (Nord, Nord N-series, OnePlus 11/12/13) run the same OxygenOS variant; the menu paths above work on all of them.
