App Keep alive always

How should this only affect TinyDB (but not the timer)?
I don't have to disable anything at all to make it work for me.

@Anke This works fine because the Player has a checkbox property on the Designer called 'PlayonlyinForeground' that needs to be disabled, correct?

@>-->---

Yes, this is disabled by default.

Speech to Text doesn't have the ability to keep the device awake... It would be good if it also had this Property.

I made some tests.
Now I am able to use GPS location in background, using last version of Ullis Keep Alive extension + sound player. (Android 14)
Thank you

This one?

I tested the new version and it works fine together with the WakeLock ext. So no Player/Sound necessary. But as I said severaly time, REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS is then declared in the Manifest (-> Play Store).

@Anke Is there any 'Keep Alive' extension that works well to reproduce sound and not barred by the Play Store? :pray:

As said, by playing (looping) a (silent) sound a WakeLock is established (without REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS).

But do you need to use this extent to prevent Doze Mode?

I'll try.
Do you ask for partial wakelock through the WakeLock extension ?

I tested it with Ulli's test aia, added a timer ... and this works fine in idle mode.

It works !
During idle time (screen off) GPS locations, SMS sending and network connection remain active.

SMS receiving do not remain active, but I think is related to SMS default app.
I tried this extension SmsAppTools: Ask user to select your app as default SMS App with updated (Android 14) manifest changes , without solving.

The question should answer itself. :upside_down_face:

Do you notice any difference between using the WakeLock ext. and playing a silent sound?

No difference, but I haven't done any long tests
In the next days I'll do other tests and I'll give you feedback

Confirmed, no difference between extension and playing silent sound

Yes, and I also tested it on dozent of devices (Android 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) over the last years.

Hi,
did you try this AI2 Keep Awake (new version) ?
