ezSTBY creates several distinct Android notification channels: One per duty-event type, so you can tune each independently.
To customise sound & vibration:
- Open Settings → Apps → ezSTBY → Notifications
- Tap the channel you want to change
- Set your preferred sound and vibration pattern
| Channel | Triggered when |
|---|---|
| Flight Alerts | A flight is assigned to you |
| Open Flight Alerts | An open, understaffed flight matches your fleet or position |
| Monitoring Started / Ended | STBY monitoring turns on or off automatically |
| Reserve Check Started | A Reserve Day check begins |
| Reserve Flight Assigned | You're assigned a flight during a Reserve Day |
| Reserve Day Result | The final Reserve Day summary is ready |
This is almost always caused by Android's battery optimisation pausing the background service.
Quick fix (recommended)
Open ezSTBY → Settings → Background Reliability. If it shows:
Battery optimisation is still active. Android may stop background monitoring and delay or block notifications.
Tap Disable Battery Optimization: It opens Android's official permission dialog directly, no manual navigation required.
Manual fix (alternative)
Settings → Apps → ezSTBY → Battery → change from Optimized to Unrestricted.
| Status shown in the app | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ✅ Battery optimisation is disabled for ezSTBY | Background monitoring should run reliably |
| ⚠️ Battery optimisation is still active | Notifications may be delayed or blocked |
The app automatically re-checks this status whenever you return to it. If you change the setting outside the app, the Settings screen updates on its own.
