Soon after a video is put for download, the TubeMate Android app has a post-processing stage before the actual download begins. According to TubeMate devs, the post-processing loop happens when the app is not active in the foreground during this stage. So, it is recommended that you keep the app open at this stage and not move it to the background. It should be fine to use some other app as soon as this particular stage is completed, however.

The issue is mostly seen in devices running Android 10 OS, and also in Xiaomi and Huawei smartphones and tablets. And if you’re using a Xiaomi device, all you need to do is follow the below steps to fix this annoying problem.
