You gave me advice on both. I keep Blixt on persistent. I have three channels opened, including the first one that opened with Dunder(pretty small). I keep it on persistent, but I don't have it running in background on my phone. The channels close, but I use it a lot so it's no big deal.
For Zeus, I use it with my own node. I don't use the LSP. I love Zeus, but it seems to take longer to load than Blixt, so I probably don't use it as often.
OK I see, so you still didn't discovered in full both of them.
Ok give it time.

oh yeah that is very easy way (if you use it in persistent mode).
But I like to use that address in a more private cases (friends and family sending), but yeah with SN is not revealed to anybody else but SN.
Also I do not plan to keep my Blixt mobile node for a long time. I always nuke it after a while and start over with a new one (new nodeID). This is an advantage of running private nodes.

Indeed if you do not open at least once the app, after 24-36h android is still killing the background service, even that the persistent mode is active.
What I suggest for Blixt or Zeus embedded:
- if you plan to use it during the day (even for receiving random zaps), just keep it persistent on and every 4-8h just open it, for fun.
- during the night, just close the persistent mode and let the phone to charge normally.
Persistent mode is more when you really have intense activity in/out and do not want to wait 10 sec to load the graph at startup. That's all.
