Hi Chao,

At present, the point of atgc enale is checked during the mount
process. What I mean is that if a device has not been rebooted
(re-mounted) for a long time, even if the above two conditions are
met(ATGC mount option is set, and the device has been powered on long
enough， more than atgc default threshold ), atgc cannot be dynamically
enabled.

If the user is used to not restarting the phone after turning it on,
it will be difficult to use atgc.
thanks!
