| 2025-01-06 |  | | I am writing to seek assistance regarding some issues I am encountering with Brevent. When I click on "Wireless Debugging," no notification appears on my phone, making it difficult to proceed. Additionally, my phone does not support split-screen functionality, which limits my ability to use certain features. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve these concerns or any alternative methods that may be available. |
| 2024-11-10 |  | | Very risky, Needs permission and processes personal data. Meaning it can put risk into your phone and can get passwords and information about you. Resolution Changer only needs ADB but its clearly that itll be waiting for you to stumble and get ur data with you knowing it. |
| 2024-10-22 |  | | Developer please read this Brevent is good app but There is some bug while setting up Brevent please fix that |
| 2024-09-22 |  | | very useful and... powerful app for nonrooted users... but i found some issues now. slowing system performance also the battery life, Some apps showing notification even i clear from task manager, But brevent apk not showing the that apps in running list(Flipkart, telegram was running like that) fix this issue please. i am using poco x5 pro Android 14 . |
| 2024-05-31 |  | | I hate the fact that you need another device just to execute command. The funny thing is after I turned off wifi and wireless debugging, it still works just like I wanted. Executing command shouldn't need wifi or wireless debugging, what? You want me to buy another phone AND ANOTHER DATA just for that? I just want to fix my refresh rate settings |
| 2024-01-16 |  | | It actually took me a bit of figuring out to determine what this app really was used for as its primary feature. Then I realized when the server is running in the background you are able to use this app to not only disable or put to sleep any process or service running on your device, but it also is capable of monitoring and determining what apps are not needed and are wasting battery in the background. But the fact that it allows you to perform functions that typically require adb shell. |
| 2023-07-01 |  | | Excellent app! Very easy to set up without root, absolutely amazing WITH root! Even better if you pay as I have, you get access to easy to use App Ops, deny apps wake lock privileges, or disallow them from running in the background. You can also suspend apps with after payment. Helps on top of restricting battery use of your apps, easy on memory, uses only ~388MB. 1 process only. Excellent app, a staple on my rooted phone, try it and you will see why! |
| 2023-05-29 |  | | I don't get this it's so confusing. It says apps with allow sync will not be brevented but how do we choose those apps? There's literally no other way to pick specific apps I want to brevent. There's premade list that I can't enabled or disabled. UI is very bad compared to greenify. I don't even know if this is working or not. Can't you just copy greenify's UI? It's dead anyway. The creator won't mind. |
| 2023-05-18 |  | | This app is slick, most things are automated but it does the job very nicely. Follow the description, it will work. I'm not sure if I want to update to the latest version. Is USB debugging going to be phased out? I don't like issues with wireless ADB. One simple command from cmd has been working fine for me. |
