About sleep apks on Onyx Boox Note 2 Air

[mmc_meneses]

Hi good evening,

Just bought an used Onyx Boox Note 2 Air and my idea is to use it for taking notes at meetings, ebook reader, documents reading & music at home through bluetooth.

I have already installed some apk, spotify, Moon+ Reader (i think reader at the boox is slighly better), dropbox, drive, onedrive and WPS Office to access to documents.

My question comes from when i want to reproduce music through spotify using bluetooth.

The problem comes when i do not touch the screen of the boox and it goes into sleep mode and so the music stops...

Is there a way to avoid certain apks when in use not to go into sleep mode?

Thanks!!!

There could be a couple of things going on here.
The first is whether the app uses a Wake Lock in the first place.
The second is you have to go to Apps & notifications > Special app access > Battery optimization > All apps > YourApp > Not optimized
(You can tell that they really want to make this accessible.)

The app i want not to go to sleep is spotify

I already have it with the not optimized feature for the battery usage... still go to sleep after 5 min not touch the screen, and so music stops

Any ideas?

Wake locks can be tricky.
I have my own streamer for BBC World Service
Since I am just using MediaPlayer, I have to disable battery optimization, but I don't have to deal with wake locks myself since apparently MediaPlayer handles that already.

You can look at the AndroidManifest.xml in your app and see if they use any wake lock permissions.
OTOH, Android has changed a lot of permissions so that you have to request them dynamically.

Where can I find AndroidManifest.xml ?

Thanks

Are you rooted? Do you know where the apk is? Can you copy it to /sdcard and then adb pull it?
Then you can use binxml.exe (in my sig) to pretty print AndroidManifest.xml

C:\>binxml.exe spotify.apk > am.txt

Maybe it's the Bluetooth timing out. Have you tried with wired headphones as a test?

Ok i found the solution

Just under battery settings, the problem wasn't energy spotify settings, it bwas bluetooth that disconects when ebook sleeps, and if using any app that needs data you will have to do the same w the wifi settings and audio settings (for music)

Problem solved

Well, you could have tried using a USB Type C headphone adapter, either passive or active.
