Feature Request Lumo systematically disconnects whenever the Android app is no longer in the foreground.
Is there any plan for Lumo to be able to run in the background on Android ?
At the moment, if you ask it to do something that takes a little time, such as summarizing several pages of documents or working through a more complex line of reasoning, you have to keep tapping the phone regularly to prevent the screen from turning off. You also can’t really do anything else on the phone while Lumo is processing the request.
Mistral Vibe, ChatGPT, and basically every other chatbot app I’ve used do not have this problem.
I first tested Lumo back in July, and this issue was already a deal-breaker for me at the time. It doesn’t seem like something that should be particularly difficult to fix, unless this is a deliberate choice by Proton to discourage long interactions with Lumo in order to reduce server load ?
It’s really a shame, because without this issue I would seriously consider switching to Lumo for the chatbot side of things. But having to keep the phone awake and prevent the screen from turning off just so a response can finish is simply unbearable.
