Since upgrading to 5.1.1, Google Play Music keeps mobile radio active even after I stop listening to streaming music. About an hour after I stop the music and exit from the app, I get a warning from Stamina Mode indicating that GPM is preventing the phone from sleeping. When I check the usage statistics, it shows that GPM is the biggest drain on my battery. The only way to stop this is to force close the app from the app manager, but then it starts again the moment I try to use it (which is daily).
Does anyone else have this issue, or at least know how to prevent GPM from keeping mobile radio active when not in use?
Problem solved. There was a bug preventing the phone from sleeping when WiFi was enabled. Changed the advanced WiFi setting to stay active only when plugged in and now the phone sleeps properly and Google music behaves as it should.

Im using Malaysk ROM for MTCD unit version №11.5 but some users also report that this occur with latest version. Problem is with autostart of apps, after unit goes into sleep mode doesn't start apps automatically on wake up and I have to start them manually. Is there any app or xposed module to do it?
I need any workaround. Im using sleep mode cause it's useful when I get out from the car for few minutes.
Hi guys,
So I have rooted my S7 and added my podcast app (podcast addict) to the system apps using app systemizer on magisk.
Everything was sweet in UPSM, could add my app to the shortlist. Then I tried playing a podcast. I lock the screen and after a few seconds the app stops playing. I presume android is force closing it. Is there any way of keeping it playing while the screen is off? I already have a persistent notification for the player which doesn't seem to do the trick..
any work around?
Hi all,
I have a Pixel 4a with stock Android 11 (up to date, no root, with Nova Launcher).
I have a rowing machine that comes with an app (ErgData, by concept2) that can connect to the machine via bluetooth or via usb cable: while rowing the app logs the workout data (like pace, heart rate etc).
I wanted to do the following: watch a video while the ErgData app logs my workout, so I started ErgData, connected it to the rower, configured the workout and, once ready to start rowing, I switch to the video player and start rowing.
It worked fine a bunch of times, but one day it stopped working: at the end of the workout (like after 20-30min), when I switch back to ErgData the app is in its default screen (like the one you get at startup) and it has logged nothing. When connecting via bluetooth, the app has also lost the connection to the rower. When connecting via usb the connection is there but the app has still logged nothing.
Things I've done:
disable battery optimization for ErgData, Bluetooth and Bluetooth MIDI
disable adaptive battery
use a different media player (android built-in, VLC)
uninstall / reinstall ErgData
clear Bluetooth storage/cache
disabled "Suspend Execution for Cached App" (developer mode)
No joy.
I tried a different app (ErgZone) and it has the same behavior.
I tried staying with ErgZone foreground for 3min before switching to the video player and in that case, ErgZone logged something, but not the totality of the workout.
So it really seems that somehow, when I switch to the video player, ErgData / ErgZone gets "paused" (killed ? cached ?).
Anything I can try ? Anything the app developers should do to prevent this ?
Thanks !
Sorry for the late response, I normally dont browse this forum. I am rooted and always have been, so all the solution I have used in the past are dependent on root. However, one idea to try is checking if the background app is killed while the phone is plugged into a charger? I know that being plugged in keeps the phone awake even when the screen is off.

Does the ErgData/Zone app start a persistent notification when recording? That's the way to keep a service running in the background. I had a phone with a tendency to kill anything not in the foreground, but it never killed active apps (including background with persistent notification).
If the app dies despite this, there may be a hint in the logcat. You have to enable developer mode to fetch that.

No, ErgData/ErgZone do not have a persistent notification. Guess that's a potential solution then.
At the moment my workaround is to use the "pop-up" feature of VLC so that I have the video on top of the other app (ErgData/ErgZone), so that the other app stays foreground. That works, but it's not a real solution.
Hmm they gave me a beta version of the app with the persistent notification thingy and it works perfectly.

Not sure what maps app have you are using but there is usually a setting in the maps app itself to switch to night mode automatically or manually.
I'm using Google maps..
