Notes

Background tasks like RAM and battery will take up a device’s limited resources. So, the Android OS system will handle the task killer when memory is low and doesn’t allow you or app developers to control the background task killer. That’s why we can’t keep the FlashGet Kids for child service permanently running in the background.

Besides, the following exceptional cases can also cause a connection issue: Device power-off; FlashGet Kids has been uninstalled; The network doesn’t work on the device.
