Xiaomi - "Sleep Timer" functions not working - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I decided to post here because I'm facing a problem for a while and either the app developer knew how to solver. I'm talking about the Sleep Timer app, speaking of which I saw a post of years ago about it.
So, whats happening:
I use this app for years and it always worked well when I wanted it to turn off Spotify. Recently, I changed my phone and now I use a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. Since then, the app doesn't work well. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes not. That's how I'm using it now:
- I connect my phone to my Tronsmart bluetooth speaker
- Start the music on Spotify
- Start counter on the Sleep Timer app. I set it configuration to turn off Spotify and turn off bluetooth, so the speaker can auto turn off too when dispair the bluetooth and saves the speaker battery.
I used the app almost every night, setted as "no restriction" in the battery configuration area, with my bluetooth speaker. Speaking of which, last night setted the app to turn off Spotify and bluetooth as always and I woke up in the middle of night and the music was still playing. So, I setted it AGAIN, and I woke up later still in the middle of night with the music still playing, AGAIN.
I made some tests in the daytime instead of before I sleep and the app did its functions. But, its how I said: sometimes works, sometimes not.. To test if the problem was the app, I downloaded another app with the exactly same purpose and functions, and the same missfunction happened. So, it's something to do with the phone configurations too.
What I want with this topic is to see if someone could help me with this problem or at least could indicate some app with these functions that works 100% fine in the Xiomi's phones.
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this!

Screen timeout on calls.

Has anyone discovered a way to keep the screen on longer while on a call?
Is there any way to change this? If I missed another post on this I apologize. Thanks
You can use power manager in the Google Marketplace

One of the best 99 cent app I've ever purchased. Support the Dev, he just lost his job, and the app kicks ass.
Yeah, Power Manager has the option to a max of 2 minutes, but it has never worked for me, it always times out waaay earlier.

i use shake awake free app that causes your phone to turn back on if you move it a certain amount, you can ajust the sensitivity to howevver much you like. mine basically stays on if the phone moves at all while i am on a call
Awesome I will try these. Thanks for the responses.
Power manager doesn't change the timeout for the screen during calls. The only way to change that currently is using the shake program mentioned above. I use both programs and love both of them so when power manager doesn't help with the screen timeout during a call use it for all the other great benefits and select monitor so it can apply the different profiles (which you can customize) for all the situations.
I tired these apps they both seem to work pretty well, any ideas on how this could be done without using an app?

It has the setting for it, but obviously doesn't work:

Bluetooth creating constant notifications

So with bluetooth on, I get a constant notification whether a device is connected or not. This is all after the MM upgrade.
Steps already taken:
- Verified reminder is turned off in accessibility.
- Cleared cache.
- Removed all BT devices
- Factory reset.
PLEASE HELP
@jasong127
Try settings > wireless and networks > nearby device scanning > off.
Let me know if this works. It uses BT even when off. I turned mine off long ago. Never had your issue and unsure if this may solve it.

That was already off. I think that when my car (chevy mylink) was connected, there's an option to "Allow Contact" or something like that. Problem is, when the truck is no longer connected, all the other options move to off, except this one.
Happens with one other device too (my home phone system). I have to unpair them and it stops. Pretty much seems like a bug to me.
I will have to test this on my ford transit the next time i use it. I do know it always resets the 911 link, which is annoying.
I'm having the same issues. Just did a factory reset and have not paired any bluetooth devices. But the minute I turn on bluetooth I start getting notifications. Help before I flush my phone.

Did you have items at one time that were paired? The way I found out the solution is to unplug ever BT device in my house and start one by one. BTW, I have 1 home phone, 3 speakers, and a computer that all use BT. Turned out to be the home telephone that was the cause of it.

Extreme battery drain issue with Bluetooth

Hello,
I've had by Z5 since late 2015 and it's been a real trooper. Sadly it has recently (in the last few days) developed an issue where Bluetooth appears to be draining battery like crazy. I've dug around a bit on the internet and found a few people experiencing the problem but none too recently. One post suggested turning on the 'Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log' and toggling Bluetooth on and off, then checking the log. When I turn that setting on, it creates the 'btsnoop_hci.log' which very rapidly starts filling with junk. In the space of about 20 seconds it took for me to toggle BT on and off and take a copy of the log, it had grown to 700 KB.
Below are some screenshots showing the battery usage of Bluetooth. I have a copy of my btsnoop_hci.log file too but I couldn't find a way to attach it to this thread. If there's some way I can share this, please let me know. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this issue, I would be most grateful. As far as usage / changes that might have cause this problem, I can't think of anything too crazy but here are some points:
I paired my phone with a pair of Taotronics BH22 headphones last week but have since forced my Bluetooth to "forget" this device.
I use my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones pretty much every day to listen to music since March 2019.
I don't use my phone for anything other than messaging, and music. The apps I have installed do automatic updates sometimes -- I was actually suspecting that an automatic update that went on for one of my apps might be the culprit, but I have no idea how to check this.

I think I've figured out what was causing the problem. It was an update to 'Google Play Services'. The version that recently went on was 16.0.91
I installed the beta version (specifically, 17.1.22 (040400-245988633) beta (040400)) and since then, Bluetooth is behaving.

What is Network operator Theme pack?

As the title says, what is Network operator Theme pack? Ive already googled it and there is nothing close to it.
I was looking through my phones app list with system apps showing and I saw an app with that name, Network operator Theme pack and I dont recall seeing it before. It goes without saying, but I didnt install that app. The package name is "com.android.networksettings.overlay.ct".
There is also an app called Permission controller Them pack and its package name is "com.google.android.overlay.modules.permissioncontroller".
While they may mean nothing at all and be completely harmless, the "overlay" part raised a little red flag for me. Ive also been having severe battery drainage issues, but I dont know if that is related or not. Severe as in losing 1% of the charge every 3-8 minutes when using the phone and about 4%-5% every 45-60 minutes when the screen is off.
I looked at the list of processes running in 3C All in One Toolbox (paid version) and the only thing that was a problem was the mediaextractor kernel process which I killed each time it was a problem as it was eating up in excess of %150+ of the phones cpu. I was also rooted up until a few weeks ago when I updated magisk (through magisk manager) & edxposed, then after the phone restarted I was no longer rooted and unable to re-root without wiping all my data (which, needless to say I did not do as I am not in the mood to start over from scratch right now.
So yeah, if anyone could tell me what the strange app package is and maybe help me figure out my battery drainage problem, Id greatly appreciate it.
My phone is a OnePlus 7 Pro running android 10.
Stay healthy everyone!
P.s. I attached a screenshot of the app info window from both of the strange apps mentioned above.

Question Auto play music in car

Hi,
I've been trying to find a fix for this since October.
I have a P7P and I connect to my cars Bluetooth without issue. It's a 2014 BMW 3 series with pro navigation, the lot.
It connects, I can take and receive calls, stream music etc. Not an issue.
However, the only problem is that music will only start auto playing if I have recently opened up YouTube Music and played something. If I swipe up and close YTM, and reconnect to the car, it won't play.
If I exit the car whilst YTM was playing, and get back into the car in quick succession, it'll start playing automatically.
However, if I don't get back in the car and connect to Bluetooth and leave it a while, it won't auto play.
From the phones side, it is blindingly obvious that it is a background process issue that just doesn't remain active. My previous phone, a Huawei Mate 20 Pro never had an issue with this.
I have tried all battery optimisation options that indicate YTM is unrestricted, but nothing works. It just won't start auto playing music once Bluetooth connects. At the moment it's just fiddly getting into the car, waiting for Bluetooth to connect, then opening YTM and pressing play.
Does anybody have any ideas please?
Thanks.
You might try an automation app like MacroDroid or an old app like Tasker (I think I saw someone state they still have it working and doing things on our P7P/Android 13)...You could set things up, i imagine, that when it connects bluetooth and/or your car's bluetooth, to automatically load YTMusic and/or it press play after it loads...MacroDroid is very versatile...
I have same issue, looking forward for resolving
What is odd also is on pioneer head unit with wireless AA, it autoplays YouTube music no matter what for me. I'm on pixel 7 pro, and just wanted to add input for troubleshooting purposes.
This is handled by app. for example, in poweamp you can turn this on/off and both work flawlessly

I'm using this app and it handles it for me, opens the app and starts/stop playing.
I use MacroDroid to automatically open Pandora when I connect to my car or motorcycle BT.
