‘Your Phone Is in Optimal Condition’ Issue [How to Remove It]

Yes, any notification that tells you your phone is in optimal condition is a welcome distraction—until it becomes a persistent annoyance. Fortunately, you don’t have to endure this disturbance as there are various effective ways to handle this problem.

In this post, we’ll detail seven tried and tested solutions to help stop Android phones from sending the same message repeatedly. Plus, we’ll give you a rundown on why such an issue happens so you better read through!

What does it mean if my phone is in “Optimal Condition?”

The “Optimal condition” of a phone means it’s running at its best performance with increased battery efficiency. It’s why phone device optimization often revolves around power-saving features that help extend battery life and improve speed.

The optimal condition happens after your phone completes its optimization protocol via an optimizer app, which shuts down unused apps and clears up its RAM. 

The noticeability of the optimization’s effect rests on how the device performed beforehand and how many apps it could close.

Why does my phone keep giving me the “Optimal Condition” message? 

Below are some known reasons why an Android phone shows the “optimal condition” alert on its notification bar. You can refer to this list to determine the root cause of your Android phone’s persistent system notification.

• You’ve recently shut down all your phone’s running apps using the “Close All” button on the recent apps tab.

• The phone completed an optimization or clean-up process to delete temporary data to free up space.

• Your Android phone is experiencing a software error due to a recently installed application or software update.

How to Remove the Notification Saying “Your Phone Is In Optimal Condition” 

Below are proven methods to remove the notification error that says your phone is in optimal condition. Please note that some methods may not be effective on other Android devices as there are differences depending on the manufacturer.

FIX 1. Boot into safe mode and uninstall your new apps

Things Needed	• An Android phone with a safe mode feature

When you’re bombarded with a system notification that says your phone is in optimal condition, one of your newly installed apps might be causing this error. Our recommended first step is to confirm whether an app is causing the problem.

You can do this by booting into your phone’s safe mode feature to check what triggers this persistent system notification error. A telltale sign that an app is a culprit is when the error doesn’t persist while your phone is in safe mode.

After all, safe mode temporarily disables your phone’s third-party apps, which should also stop them from causing the error during this time. Once you have confirmed that your recent apps are behind the error, you can uninstall them from your phone.

Step 1: Open your Android phone’s quick settings panel by swiping down the notification bar twice.

Step 2: Open the device’s power control menu by clicking its power icon.

Step 3: Press and hold on Power Off to access the safe mode screen.

Step 4: Tap on Safe Mode to reboot your Android phone.

Step 5: Wait until your Android phone boots into safe mode.

Step 6: Wait and see if the system notification will say that your phone is in optimal condition.

FIX 2. Reconfigure your phone’s battery optimization settings

Since clearing out apps improves the device’s battery efficiency, that’s one way to know if your phone is now in optimum condition. Believe it or not, doing so will also help prevent this persistent system notification error from popping out of nowhere.

The idea behind this solution is simple. After all, keeping your phone in its best condition using its built-in battery optimization features should give its system no reason to show this notification alert in the first place.

However, it means you must maintain your phone’s tip-top condition after every use. Otherwise, once you overwork your device and its optimization feature starts working to improve battery efficiency, it’ll show the notification again after completing its task.

Step 1: Open Settings on your Android device.

Step 2: Scroll down and open the Apps settings.

Step 3: Go to System app settings.

Step 4: Select the system app that controls battery optimization.

Step 5: Scroll down and the Battery Optimization settings.

Step 6: Adjust your phone’s lock screen optimization settings.

Step 7: Reconfigure your phone’s battery-saver features.

FIX 3. Disable background app activity

Things Needed	• An Android phone

The idea behind this method is similar to the previous one since your goal is to prevent your phone’s optimization from kicking in. If successful, the device’s system notification should stop alerting you that your phone is now in optimum condition. 

For this method to work, you must restrict background activity for all your phone’s installed apps. This action will prevent your apps from running in your phone’s background, which is a massive reason its workload increases behind the scenes.

Restricting the background activity of your apps will prevent the device’s performance from plummeting, which will stop device optimization from kicking in.

You don’t have to worry about receiving your phone’s optimal condition alert.

Step 1: Open Settings on your Android device.

Step 2: Scroll down and open its Battery settings.

Step 3: Click Battery to switch to the battery status tab.

Step 4: Go to App battery saver.

Step 5: Select your active apps.

Step 6: Click the “Put apps to sleep” option.

Step 7: Select your sleeping apps.

Step 8: Select the option to Restrict background activity.

FIX 4. Turn off your phone’s built-in optimization feature

Having various customization options is arguably one of the selling points of Android devices. The good thing about this is that it allows you to access hidden developer options on your device so you can configure built-in features based on preference.

With this, you can turn off the optimization feature on your Android phone whenever you want. It’s one way how you remove optimal condition notifications in your phone since the device will no longer run this feature on its system.

However, since device optimization is an essential feature for some Android devices, turning it off may have negative consequences. It might worsen your phone’s overall performance or cause its battery level to deplete faster than usual during use.

As such, we recommend testing the waters with this method to ensure you’re getting the best-case scenario. Ultimately, it’s up to you whether you prefer your phone’s device optimization feature when enabled, to improve performance.

Step 1: Open Settings on your Android device.

Step 2: Open the About Phone option.

Step 3: Click All Specs.

Step 4: Click the phone’s UI version tile repeatedly to unlock developer mode.

Step 5: Go back to the settings menu and scroll down to open the device’s Additional settings.

Step 6: Scroll down and click the Reset to default values option until the Autofill developer options are reset.

Step 7: Scroll down and turn off the switch for your device’s built-in optimization feature.

FIX 5. Turn off notifications for your phone’s optimizer app

Time to Perform Fix	30 seconds
Things Needed	• An Android phone with a dedicated optimizer app

There are Android phones that have a dedicated optimizer or optimization app, which makes turning off its notification a breeze. Thus, you only need to turn off its notification setting to stop receiving alerts about the optimal condition of your phone.

This method is a straightforward solution compared to the ones we discussed earlier. Unfortunately, it also means that you can only utilize this solution if your Android phone has a separate optimizer or optimization app with no built-in feature.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to perform the steps below, and your best recourse is to move along and try the following solutions.

Step 1: Open Settings on your Android device.

Step 2: Scroll down and open its App management settings.

Step 3: Go to App settings.

Step 4: Select the target app.

Step 5: Click Notifications.

Step 6: Turn off the Allow Notifications switch to disable notifications from the target app.

FIX 6. Turn off system notifications using a notification blocker

Things Needed	• An Android phone • A working internet connection

If your Android phone doesn’t have a dedicated optimizer app, you can block its notifications with a third-party app instead. An example of this is the AutoNotification app for Android devices, which includes a notification blocker filter that you can use.

Its notification blocker allows you to stop even your phone’s system notification alerts from popping out. The saying that goes “prevention is better than cure” applies to this solution since it can intercept the “your phone is in optimal condition” notification.

Plus, the app is free to download and use on your Android phone, which makes it an easy choice for most users. Please be aware that this app will need permission to access your phone’s notifications, which may cause a system warning to appear.

Fortunately, AutoNotification is officially available on the Google Play Store, so it’s okay to trust this app. However, if you’re uncomfortable giving a third-party app this authorization, you may have to trust your guts more.

Step 1: Open Settings on your Android device.

Step 2: Use the app store’s search function to find the AutoNotification app.

Step 3: Click Install to add the app to your phone’s app library.

Step 4: Click Open once the app’s installation is complete.

Step 5: Allow the required permissions to use the app.

Step 6: Click the Notification Blocking feature.

Step 7: Click OK to set up the selected feature.

Step 8: Select AutoNotification.

Step 9: Turn the switch on to give the app access to your device’s notifications.

Step 10: Tick the check box to acknowledge the system warning and click OK to continue.

Step 11: Go back to the AutoNotification screen and click the + button.

Step 12: Click YES to set up the notification block filter.

Step 13: Follow the app’s on-screen instructions to apply the notification blocker.

Believe it or not, the notification saying “your phone is in optimal condition” is also a known error with the Oxygen OS of some OnePlus devices. Users reported this error to occur after updating their OnePlus phones to the Oxygen OS 12 version.

You can tell your OnePlus device has this error if the notification alert goes with some phone functions that aren’t working as intended. For example, the “Close All” function that shuts down all running apps won’t work even with your repeated clicks.

Thus, multiple apps run in the background, lowering your phone’s performance and battery efficiency. It only makes the situation more ironic since your phone tells you it’s in optimal condition while some of its functions aren’t working at all.

Fortunately, performing a factory reset on your OnePlus phone is a known solution for this system notification error. You can also perform this action after an Oxygen OS 12 software update to prevent this error from occurring beforehand.

Step 1: Open your OnePlus phone’s Settings menu.

Step 2: Scroll down and open its System Settings.

Step 3: Scroll down and click Back up and Reset.

Step 4: Click Reset Phone.

Step 5: Click Erase all data and wait for the device to complete the reset and reboot its system.
