The "selected apps" feature seems not to be working properly in 5.1.1

It was working when I am on 5.0 but I recently upgraded to 5.1.1 and Stay Alive is permanent on, ignoring the selected apps. I have to manual pause and resume stay alive now.
[Android Apps and Games] oimaraf:
I can confirm this behaviour.

Help! I am trying everything to get my brand new Android Samsung Galaxy S6 to quit doing this annoying sequence: I have a very nice new 2015 Subaru Outback with a specific Bluetooth interface called "Starlink" which has a choice to play my premium Pandora music. OK, works great... But with each song at about 2-3 minutes the Android screen goes to sleep, and when Pandora attempts to stream up the next data, I will always get: "Pandora: Waiting for connection". I then simply tap the Home button and the music begins instantly... But I need to do this in traffic every 2-3 minutes without fail.

Streaming Pandora for hours on a wifi network and connected to a stereo with a 2.5mm pin works flawlessly.

Help. Will try you product... and donate $$ if it works just because you've eased my frustration
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
And for that question you must quote whole OP? Please edit your post again. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Melaque2013:
Done, Sorry. Now I've installed the app and it's allowing the device to sleep as I've configured it to. Now to check it again in the Padora/Subaru use and see if it can keep things awake while driving.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Yep, it is a nice app.
[Android Apps and Games] Melaque2013:
Thanks!! Just went for a long drive. Finally Pandora has quit dropping out because of "sleep" mode. No more distractions, after 3 months of frustrations.

Tried using the black screen feature on my Pipo X9 tablet running JB 4.4.4. When I pause SA!, the screen will black out but then turn back on right away. Is there something I am missing for the screen to stay off?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
the "black screen" feature is nice, but i have a small issue with it.

it seems to claim the foreground position, causing apps that require screen on and foreground to freeze anyway.

"blackr" can do the black screen without becoming the foreground app, but unfortunately lacks the automation and "stay awake" functions this app has.

for now I'm using both apps together(blackr to turn off the screen, stay alive! to stay awake) but I'd like to stick with just 1 app for this.

Hi, if you need Persian/Farsi translation of this app, contact me.
[Android Apps and Games] BaBo_FiSH:
Just picked up this app after getting a Galaxy S7 and being frustrated that the maximum screen timeout on the phone was 10 minutes.

for the most part the app works great but I am running into a small issue.

When I have the app set to only keep the screen alive when a specific app is running it will work fine till i get a notification that pops up on the screen, as soon as the notification goes away the screen turns off.

It seems to work fine if i just set it to keep the screen on all the time. but I have not tested that as thoroughly.
[Android Apps and Games] johnsamshri:
Hi. Thanks for an app that addresses such an annoyance.

Am running into some problems with the App.

Although I have set the App to be active on both charge and battery..., it keeps going into "Off Duty! Paused by App" as showing in the notification...

It is like every now and then, I have to keep setting it again and again to Stay Alive! Active on power and battery...

Can't figure out, if some other app is keeping on Pausing 'Stay Alive'.

I am running CM13 on my Galaxy Grand I9082, and I have apps like Greenify installed...

Please guide me into keeping Stay Alive - for selected apps at all times..., even if I reboot device.

Thanks, Shrikant

[Android Apps and Games] Devileyezz:
Just installed this so I can stay alive when there's a particular app running. Which is rare in itself.

Problem is now stay alive shows up in the notification drawer permanently. And for the life of me, I can't seem to find the option to turn it off.

All I want is for the phone to automatically be alive when I use this other app.

Anyone have success using this on Android 8+ (Oreo)? looks like some background execution limits breaks this app in its current state?
[Android Apps and Games] Bib_x:
Same here with Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with Stock MIUI (rooted) Oreo 8.1.

I ticked the Xiaomi option, but app always closes. Not working without this option and with i can't test.
[Android Apps and Games] torque6309:
its not working too on realme c1 running on Oreo.

i think this app not support android 8 yet, hopefully soon they update to support it.

Stay Alive! app works fine on Nokia 9 PureView

I've installed this app on Nokia 9 PureView with Android Pie (9.0). Works fine on all levels.

When I make a call (on ear, via Bluetooth or on loudspeaker) the phone use the subsystem com.google.android.dialer to perform the call. This subsystem is also active when phonebook in dialer is visible (active). Or the list of recent calls. This mean that the Stay alive app holds the screen active even if I'm not in a call. The screen dims down but stays alive until you turn off screen by power button or switches to start screen.

Is there a way to let the system understand when in an active call and when the call is terminated? The Stay alive app should understand that the call is terminated and after that turn off and let the screen timeout by system.

PS: Made a donation on 26th of March 2019 :)

How to keep Stay Alive... Alive!

Stay Alive might keep my screen alive but I was just about at my whits end to get Stay Alive to stay alive on my new Mintt Y3 aka Blu G9 Pro with Android 9 Pie.

After trying various solutions posted about I found the culprit to be Duraspeed. So set the App battery optimization off AND add it to Duraspeed & Voila! Stay Alive ... stays alive :D

Thanks for the app BTW - does the job nicely.
[Android Apps and Games] kinglerch:
Stay Alive is working on my Galaxy S7 but after around 30 minutes (of not touching anything) the screen still times out and the phone locks. Is there a setting in the phone or Stay Alive to disable this 30 min (approx) timeout?
[Android Apps and Games] spider666:
It's not running anymore on Android 10. Any update or is this app dead ? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] spider666:
This App seems to be dead and no one answer around here. Sad :(
[Android Apps and Games] SusanneM:
Unfortunately just donated. Should have read the comments on Google Play first. This App seems dead indeed :(
[Android Apps and Games] Michael B.N.:
Great app - I've missed something like this a lot until now. Really great piece of work. I've giving you five stars on Google Play.

Just one thing. In my notificiation window it seems like either the 'Stay Alive' text is to big or so is the space between the four icons. As you can see the text and the green icon is on top of each other. I don't know if it's something on my phone or a generally thing...?
[Android Apps and Games] ntellegence:
Works on t mobile Note 3.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

It can be done but would take some work, I will have to change the selection list for applications to support it. I'll put it in the request list... thanks for the suggestion.

Please take a second to rate it on the play store. :)

Extremely user friendly and effective notification buttons implementation! :good:

Glad that you like it...

Please take a second to rate the app on Google Play!
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
It seems to be related to the resolution of the device. What is the model of your device ?

You can quickly try, if your version of android supports it, to lower the size of your font.

I tried to put enough space between the buttons to make sure users would not touch the wrong button. What I can do is to put an option to shorten the label from "Stay Alive!" to "Alive!" or "SA!". That would leave more space for the buttons...

I will add it in the next version with the request I had to have an option to hide the buttons.

Thanks for letting me know! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Michael B.N.:
A Samsung Galaxy S II. I'll try to see if I can change the font size in the notification window.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Yes, it must be useful on a device that has a good quality screen like the Note 3...

Thanks for the appreciation. Do not hesitate to give it 5 starts on Google Play if you like it...
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
It's in settings... display... font size

It will change your device font size not just the notification window...

Let me know if it helps.
[Android Apps and Games] antukubo:
1- I am also having issue #21 on Motorola Defy & Samsung S3 Mini (480x800). Of course it doesn't affect anything but it looks weird. Change device font setting doesn't help.

2- On Motorola Defy CM10.2, the led keeps blinking during sleep

[Android Apps and Games] willverduzco:
Thank you for adding and allowing for users everywhere to enjoy! I've since posted about this app on the XDA Portal. Nice work you've done here!
[Android Apps and Games] Michael B.N.:
It doesn't help to change the font size. It seems that in the notification window your app uses another font setting than the other apps. It's bigger letters and also another colour. When I change the font settings it affects all other apps than yours...:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Can you take a screenshot of the display and upload it here ? That will help me see what you see.

Strange because the program does not address the led. If you exit the app, does the light stop blinking ? and then restart it, will start blinking again ? Does it blink when the app is paused ? Do you have blocking mode on ?

Also, what version of android is your device running ?

Thanks for the info!
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Ok, I will see how I can make it sync...

Can you send me a screenshot that has my app and other apps in your notification window to show me the difference...

What version of android is your device running ?

Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] i2mirage:
I have the same issue on BLINKING ON SLEEP MODE on Samsung Galaxy S4.

"If you exit the app, does the light stop blinking?" - It stops blinking when exit out of the program but when it restart the program the blinking occurs.

"Does it blink when the app is paused?" - Yes. and any option selected it blinks

"Do you have blocking mode on?" - No.

Also, what version of android is your device running ? - Android 4.3.1 on PAC rom.
[Android Apps and Games] antukubo:
- Exactly same as mine except i'm on CM10.2 Quarx (JB 4.3)

I asked for a bigger screenshot because this one only show my entry. I wanted to see how the font looks compared with other notifications for smaller screens.

Tonight I will have access to a Galaxy S and a Razr so I'll be able to test on lower resolution devices.

I was going to post the led kept blinking during sleep, but looks like you've got this sorted. Awesome.

I just rebooted my phone and noticed that the app didn't start automatically. Having it do so would be a useful feature, I think.

As you can see on the attached screenshot you app has a slightly bigger font size than the other notifications. Also when I change font colour it doesn't affect your app.

[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
It seems I need to search on how to use android themes. The notification zone I use to add the buttons is based on a custom xml layout and I need to figure out how to apply the system colors.

I will see what I can do... Thanks for the screenshot...
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
You are right. You found a bug. There seems to be a problem when the device goes to sleep and wakes up without a keyguard. Android does not tell me that the user is present. And if the user is not present, Stay Alive! won't look if the application you are running should keep the screen alive...

It's either you are configure without a keyguard (password, pin, etc...) or that your device goes to sleep and wake up without a keyguard...

I found a fix to check if the keyguard is disabled, then to tell Stay Alive to look if the application your are running is one you selected.

I will try to fix it as soon as possible and I'll let you know so you can test it.

Thanks!

Hi,

I will need more information to help you.

The last option still show a gray medal with "Donate!" message ? or a blue and gold one ?

You selected the donate option and got the Google Play dialog to proceed with the donation ?

You acknowledge the payment and received a receipt of the transaction by email from Google ?

If yes, what is the order number on the invoice you receive ? I will check to see If I see the transaction on my end.

It's not yet charged

If it's not in an hour or so, let me know...

And again thanks a lot for your support!

Still nothing. I've deleted, rebooted & reinstalled several times but donate still shows up.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
It's still in chargeable state here. It should soon turned to charged. I have no control over it, it's Google that takes time to process.

If you can wait a little bit more it will eventually work. I've seen other transactions do that...

I will let you know if the status changes on my end.

If it does not work, I'll issue a refund and you could try again.

[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Try to exit Stay Alive and run it again first. The app only check its licence when it starts.

If it still does not work, uninstall and reinstall it. It may be because android cached its licence on your device...

It should work as I see your transaction has passed.

Make sure you are online for the licence check.

Let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Your device should take its defaut account.

Try to go in google play store. Hit you menu key and choose settings. The first option should be account. Select it to choose your defaut account.

then restart the app and retry to register...

Let me know if it worked...
