The phrase signifies an error encountered within the Clash application on the Android operating system. Specifically, it denotes a failure to properly save or persist the user’s configuration settings. This can manifest in various ways, such as the application reverting to default settings upon restart, the inability to apply newly configured rules, or general instability in the application’s behavior related to configuration management. An instance of this would be a user setting up custom proxy rules that are then lost after closing and reopening the application, leading to a loss of desired network configurations.
The resolution of this issue is critical for maintaining desired application functionality and user experience. An inability to save configurations can lead to frustration, inefficient use of resources (requiring reconfiguration repeatedly), and potentially compromised security if desired proxy or filtering rules cannot be reliably applied. Historically, these types of configuration persistence errors can arise from issues related to file permissions on the Android device, bugs within the application’s code regarding file writing, or interference from other applications impacting storage access. Addressing these errors enhances application stability and user trust.
