I'm just wondering if anybody else who uses Android Auto screen casting apps has their device get hot (with warnings that device is getting hot)?
I've used fermata, screen2auto, and Android Auto Mirror. I like to use YouTube to listen to some music so I use the casting app and YouTube, and when I do, within 5-15 minutes the device gets hot and slows down significantly.
I have adjusted quite a few parameters using kernel mods tools (e.g. fkm, exkm, or 3C toolbox).
Just curious.
Cheers,
B.D.

So since I Updated to the s8 plus I have not been able to stream my usual local radio app kokefm or online streamimg websites for more than 5 Minutes when the decice is locked. After 5 minutes the stream pauses, and when I unlock the phone the stream resumes. I have checked to make sure background data is enabled for the apps, and no power saving is on. Anyone else having this issue?
I figured out how to fix it if anyone else has this problem.
Go to settings > device maintenance > battery. Then click on battery usage then the three dots on the top right and go to optimize battery usage. There you can change to all apps and turn off optimization for whatever apps are not streaming in the background. Seems kinda redundant since I already had the apps in the not monitored list and allowed background network data... atleast it's working now.
Android 7 has a feature called "Doze" that will make most apps go into a suspended state after the device is idle for a while. This is possibly what's making your music app stop. If your app has a Stay Awake function, you may want to enable it and just turn the screen brightness down instead of off.
I think the problem in settings, that's all... Do you use Spotify? It has become so popular because it gives users what they want. The user can stream music from any Android device. Having over 75 million users, Spotify is the most popular among them. What is the reason behind its popularity and how much does it cost to build an app like Spotify?
Hi there's an application which requires you to keep the display turned on to listen songs and play videos, but how do I turn off and on the display module of my phone easily (if possible without adb)?
Or is there any alternative solution for this? I don't want to keep my display on because I need to listen music for hours sometimes.
Im using AOSP EXTENDED ROM 8.1 OS.
Thanks.
Why is my Android Tv set top box lagging badly after I put it in deep sleep, and then wake it up again? This normally happens after I have been using the youtube app to watch videos, then put it to sleep, with the power plugged in. I tried everything to fix the problem, including memory clean, restart all apps, virus scan, speed boost app and even system UI reset. The only thing that fixes the problem is to reboot the whole thing. Without reboot, the performance improves but only after a long time. But I don't like shutting down my device, I prefer putting it to sleep so it can start up quickly when I need to use it again and rebooting is too slow. So what do I do to fix it? My device is rooted.
Update: It seems that after searching other posts, this is an update issue to the android firmware for tv boxes but no solution has been found. One user claimed that putting the device to sleep without exiting app to home screen reduces the lag upon wake up somehow.
My typical use case of Android TV box (Mi Box S, Android 9) is to watch serials from SMB source in Kodi app. The problem is that Android TV kills Kodi while sleeping, i.e. at the next day I have to start from the initial screen and launch Kodi, then navigate to SMB source, find appropriate folder in the long list, etc.
So is it possible to prevent aps from killing somehow?
@setupio, if you leave your box switched on day and night regardless then you should be able to go into the settings and find power optimisation (aka battery optimisation on phones) and select Kodi to not be optimised. if you do turn the box off this won't help.
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.
