What changed
Root cause
The watchdog returned permanently when the location manager was unavailable, and it did not recover requests that remained registered but stopped delivering callbacks after lock/Doze. The start path also opened Settings before launching the foreground service, which made some OEMs treat the launch as background-originated.
