**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**
**Device Info:**
Device: Xiaomi 15
OS: Android / HyperOS
**The Issue:**
I recently noticed that all previously enabled sensors in the Companion App (e.g., Bluetooth Connection, GPS Accuracy, Activity Sensor) were reset to "Disabled". This occurred following an app update.
I use automatic updates (Play Store), so I cannot confirm if the update was triggered by the Store or an internal app mechanism, nor can I say for certain if this happened with every previous update. However, the current update resulted in a complete loss of sensor configurations, breaking all dependent Node-RED flows and Home Assistant automations.
**Steps to Reproduce (as observed):**
Observe that sensors (Bluetooth, Location, etc.) are active and sending data.
An update occurs in the background (automatic updates enabled).
After the update, sensors are found to be "Disabled" within the app's "Manage Sensors" menu.
Manual intervention is required to toggle every single sensor back to "On".
**Expected Behavior:**
User-defined sensor states (Enabled/Disabled) should remain unchanged regardless of the update source or version change.
