Some devices need more - battery saving for an app needs to be switched off and the app has to be locked in the memory. Most devices work with just disabling the battery saving and Osmand fine. Some needs additionaly to lock the app in the memory (MIUI, for example). If your system has something similar, you have to do it as well. Check the permissions as well - how these work is not that straightforward. The permissions are grouped such a way that you sometimes need to give permission which by the name seems to be quite a different from the reason why you need it. I don't have this problem with latest OsmAnd (nightly), it seems to be specific to your system. Just to be clear, I am not saying it is not a true problem for you.
