First, make sure your device is connected to the internet. Next, check if Pawns.app is running or not. Finally, check if internet sharing is enabled. If you’re using a mobile device, make sure there are no battery restrictions set for Pawns.app, otherwise your phone will turn it off every time you switch to another app.

To disable power saving for Pawns.app on Android and ensure it runs in the background, toggle the Allow background sharing switch in Internet Sharing settings.

Click on Continue in the pop-up window.

Now, different versions of Android have different power management settings so they may be different for your device. The general idea is the same - turn off battery management/saving/optimization for Pawns.app. Clicking on Continue in Pawns.app should lead you to the background settings for this particular app where you can set battery options.

Here’s how it works on Xiaomi HyperOS (Android 14).

A new window will open. Select No restrictions from the available options.

Once you do, you’ll be returned to Pawns.app and the Ensure background sharing option will be turned on.

From now on, Pawns.app will keep running and sharing your internet connection in the background regardless of how you use your phone.

If you’re using a remote desktop device, make sure Pawns.app starts when the device boots up and the device isn’t going to sleep.
