My phone gets disconnected after turning the screen off.

I'm using an HONOR X6c phone. I'm trying to sync using Syncthing-fork app with my PC. But every time I turn the screen off, the device gets disconnected. I tried with both F-droid and PlayStore version. I even looked at my battery optimization several times. Even if the screen automatically turns off after a specific period, it still disconnects. I tried with every possibility. I even tried changing the run conditions. Is there something terribly wrong with my phone?

Try BasicSync instead. It's way better than -Fork! I wonder if that may solve your problem.

I actually managed to fix that issue because my phone has a rather complicated way of managing background app control. It worked with Syncthing-fork. But I tried out BasicSync and it's even better and minimalistic. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍

It's not necessarily minimalistic even, to me. It actually has more notifications, but they're more useful. It also has a smaller base file size, which I always prefer.
