Hi,

Strange because I do not specify an account when I ask for billing. I only request the payment and play store do the rest.

I tried on mine and it worked. I'm also configured with 2 accounts... :)

First suggestion

Can you tried what I tried ?

Select account 1 and go buy any non-free app from the play store. You click on the price, click accept. It will then ask you to confirm before the payment. Click on the down arrow to show the account.

Select account 2 in the play store settings then try to buy the same app again to see if it still use the first account. If it does, then there a problem with play store and it's not related to my app...

Let me know if it did select the same account...

Second suggestion

You could try to delete your first account that has no credit card, process the payment and then add your non-credit card account back.

Let me know if it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Just wanted to let everyone know that if you have 2 play store accounts and cannot donate on the account you want, it's probably because you installed your APK from the forum.

Just delete the app and reinstall from the Google Play Store and it will take your selected account!

Thanks for finding it out m.is.for.michael!

How can you tell if it has registered you correctly or not?

Is it simply that the Donate! in settings should disappear? (mine's still there)
[Android Apps and Games] houtx2:
I am not sure since I've never seen it. I assume the gray badge will change color and when you click on it it should say already purchased.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Sorry, I updated the permission list on the first post...

INTERNET - Needed to send support email and alternate licence verification

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Needed to auto start Stay Alive! on boot

It's for an alternate licence verification procedure. It seems that some users are having problem with the in app purchase. I did a lot of testing and it works but sometimes Google does not report the licence properly. I will have to rely on an alternate way to allow the user with problems.

It's coming soon... Just want to have Google point of view on the question before I move forward... sent them an email yesterday.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

Yes the badge turn from black and white to colors. If it is not then there is a problem.

I'm working on it... Stay tuned... :)
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Try to go in the donation option and change the second color. Right now its like the check marks are black that is why you cannot see them.

If this does work, try to uninstall and reinstall. It's a color problem. It should reset upon reinstallation as it will remove your settings. Then try to change the color again and tell me how it goes...

Let me know...

Hi,

Yes the color bug was occuring when the application was first run. Since the licence was not working, you could not change the colors.

Now it is fixed for donators and non donators.

Is your licence working with v1.2.0.1 ?

Thanks for the follow up!
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:

[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Now that this licencing problem seems to be fixed for good, I can put some time to develop new features.

I will try to implement a list of apps that allow the phone to dim while it stay alive.

Will also look into new functions like keeping the device alive when you hold it in a certain position and disable stay alive when you put it on a flat surface.

Will also look into the list of applications that are listed when you ask for specific apps to stay alive. It seems that not all applications are listed.

If you guys have other interesting suggestions to make Stay Alive! better. Let me know.

How about an option per app for screen off when the proximity sensor is triggered?

sent from my brain using telepathy
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
You mean, if a specific app is running and you trigger the proximity sensor, like put the phone face down on the desk or in your pocket, it will release SA! and let the phone sleep ?

Don't you think it should be a system wide thing... because when you put the phone down or in your pocket, you could be running any apps... no ?
[Android Apps and Games] m.is.for.michael:
Pretty much. I'd just be worried that a system wide setting might interfere with other apps... but I guess I'll leave that side of it to you :)

sent from my brain using telepathy
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Well for sure, if an app uses the motion sensor both may interfere but to define an app in which SA! will detect if it need to close would mean that the user would need to be in this app for Stay Alive! to pause. That mean that launching that app before you put the phone in your pocket is as fast as just pushing the off button to close the screen before you put it in your pocket...

I would have to check if it interfere with the Phone app...
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Right now I'm working on the application list. I had a lot of questions on this recently and wanted to help user select applications.

I will add a textbox that will allow you to type the name or package name of an application to filter the list.

I will also add a button to show only selected apps to help the user quickly see what is selected.

I will also add an help message that, once the user is in the app list, will show a toastmessage of the application currently running. The user will just have to go in SA! list of apps, switch to the app he wants to "Stay Alive! for and then switch back to Stay Alive!. The list will be filtered with the app name ready to be checked. The help message will stop once the user gets out of Stay Alive! application list.

Let me know what you think...

Hi,

On my S4 it takes 38-39MB... If the app memory usage does not grow beyond that point it's not a memory leak.

I see when I click on the entry that the Google Play Store lib stays in memory and it takes 13mb. I will check why after the licence check it stays in memory...

I'll get back to you.

Hello,

nice application, I beg you will work on Galaxy Mega (i9205)?

I have a problem with dimming (probably at a higher load cpu or gpu brightness drops from 100 percent to 50).

Decrease in brightness is when playing demanding games - Doom3, Nova3 ).

Please, what is the Qualcomm BRITE? Causes a problem with dimming?

Link - Info about Qualcomm BRITE

qualcomm.com/media/blog/2012/02/23/qualcomm-introduces-brite-and-gridview-snapdragon

Thanks for the answer.

Regards Andrew Gale.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

I would not know what is causing the dimming. Maybe a way for Samsung to preserve the battery against your will... :mad:

As far as I know, I tested my app on Galaxy S, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab 2 to name only the Galaxy ones and it works with all of them. I also had feedback from users who ran it successfully on their S2, Note 2, Note 3 and it works great. I guess it's OK to believe that it will work on the Galaxy Mega.

What you can do is run Stay Alive, Select "Always keep screen Alive", check "Keep screen Alive for selected apps" and select your games from the list under "Select applications that will Stay Alive!".

When you will be in your game, Stay Alive! will make sure that your screen will not dim. As soon as you will exit your game, it will pause itself and let the screen dim and timeout like configured in your device settings.

Try it and let me know! I will add the Galaxy Mega to the list of device that works! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] wietter:
Hello,

I tried program Stay Alive today, and unfortunately the display still dims :(

I had set:

- Always keep screen Alive

- Keep Screen Alive check for selected apps

- Selected game DIII4A (port Doom3)

- Uncheck allow screen to dim (I tried also with check)

When playing the game aplication "Stay Alive!" is running.

After 15 minutes of playing with the maximum brightness go to dimming.

I beg you do not know where the problem might be and how it could be solved?

Thanks for the answer
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

Have you use the helper to select the app in the list ? To make sure that the right package is selected.

When you start the game, can you slide the notification window to see if SA icon in the top bar has a white background? This would confirm that SA! is still active when your app is running.

I would also try with another app like internet browser to see if the device still dim after 15 minutes. You can also check in the notification zone for the white background when you are in the browser, if SA! detect the app properly.
[Android Apps and Games] wietter:
I again Stay Alive! tested. again dimming screen :(. Ve tried the game N.o.v.a. 3

package is selected good (n.o.v.a. 3 - com.gameloft.android.anmp.gloftn3hm)

SA is still active When the app is running.

The icon has a white background.

Dimming never happened to me when browsing the Internet and no need to use SA . Only When playing demanding 3D games.

Please Somehow it will solve the games worked without dimming on Galaxy Mega?
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

If you are playing your game and actively touching the screen and it still dim, that must mean that there is something proper to the Galaxy Mega that protect your screen, or something similar. Does it dim even if you touch the screen ? How to you put it back to full brightness? do you have to exit the game and it's back on full brightness automatically?

While you are in your game, can you switch to Stay Alive! (try to access in notification window instead of app switching) pause it, unpause it and back to your game to see if brightness is back up ? I would suggest for this test to let SA! always keep screen alive and uncheck the "Keep screen alive for specific apps". If it does, I could maybe try to do a special option to force screen to wakelock every minute or so... right now, It will lock the screen until you change any settings.

Stay Alive! is using Android APIs to lock the screen and to prevent it to dim. If the 3D engine of your games (are these games using the same 3D engine?) or something internal to the Galaxy Mega is overriding this, we would need to find out what is causing the dim to prevent it. Try to do some Google searching to find out if other owners that have the same problem and know why it is happening.

If we could find how and why this is happening I could modify Stay Alive! to prevent it.

I would help you more but I not lucky enough to own a Galaxy Mega! :D
[Android Apps and Games] wietter:
Hello,

I think that this is a safety feature the chips Qualcomm. Dimming brightness occurs when the CPU is loaded more heavily and the temperature is

roughly over 50 degrees Celsius. When you quit the game, the brightness returns after about 10 seconds for the maximum.

Please Try to read the article

Qualcomm BRITE

qualcomm.com/media/blog/2012/02/23/qualcomm-introduces-brite-and-gridview-snapdragon

I think that it is this safety feature that causes dimming.

Please how disable, or change this safety function to be able to fully exploit the brightness to maximum? I'd love if it went some solved.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
I did some searching and could not find a BRITE SDK and there is nothing regarding that in the Qualcomm SDK 2.0 that I downloaded. If you can find the SDK I could look at it... Maybe you could write to Qualcomm or go on the forum to get more info on it...
[Android Apps and Games] deejayburnout:
Hey hey.

For some reason I have selected only 2 app to stay alive yet the device is thinking I have 5 open.

Also.....

Would it be possible to have an option to remove this from the notifications. I always have stay alive running and I really dont need this showing all the time.

Cheers for a great little app.

Hi,

The counter display bug will be fixed in the next version. It's only a display bug.

As for the notification, since Stay Alive! is a service that keep track of your power status, running app, etc... it needs to have an entry in the notification zone otherwise, Android will kill its process. I'm working on a way for you to hide it without causing any problem.

Do you always get "Type here:" in the notification zone when you change the status ?

Hello,

I found out what causes Dimmer on my Galaxy Mega.

It happens under load when playing demanding 3D game.

These are:

in Settings / My Device / Display / Brightness /

"to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced"

Please Is there a way to remove or disable or (change thermal limit) this protection which causes it dimming?

I will very pleased and many others if you can solve.

Hi, Does the actual value (scroll) of your dimming seekbar changes ?

I could do a program that check the value and reset it to full value.

Contact me by email and I can send you a test APK if the actual scroll is changed. Like can you switch from your game to the settings, change the value of the brightness back to full and go back to the game ? I guess it will eventually go down...

Let me know...
[Android Apps and Games] wietter:
If there is a dimming (to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced) ,change is not on seekbar. Seekbar is still at on maximum value, but the real value brightness is around 50 percent. If I begin to move with seekbar from maximum to 50 percent , brightness is still 50.

(It reacts to the temperature when reaching around 60 degrees Celsius begin "to Avoid overheating maximum brightness has been Reduced." When you turn off the game and subsequently cooled to about 50 degrees maximum brightness again)

Please send me a test apk to my email: djwietter@centrum.cz

Thank you.

Sincerely Andrew Gale
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

I could have adjusted the brightness setting but since it seems to be an internal limitation. I would need to have access to the API used to define the profiles that control the brightness. Then again there must be a reason why they lower the brightness. Maybe if we force the device to full brightness, it may damage it.

If you can contact Qualcomm and have access to their API, I check their SDK and no mention of theses settings, I could take a look at their API.

Hello,

with the nexus 7 (2013) and franco kernel you can set the temperature threshold were the throttling starts (dimming).

if this is possible on a snapdragon 600 this should be also possible on 400?

but Qualcomm API unfortunately yet I haven´t :(

Maybe contact the creator of the franco kernel. If it has been implemented in the kernel, that means that the chances that it is accessible by software only are little...

Having a small problem that keeps creeping up.

Whenever i reset my device, it often doesnt find my donator status and the donator options are not selected.

For instance, i have it set for load at boot and 9 times out of 10 it doesnt load. I have to manually start it.

Any pointers???

Typed out on my Note 3 Phablet
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Most of the time where it cannot detect the licence it's after you reboot your device and that it cannot contact Google Play to validate the licence.

Can you check that your device can access the internet then exit SA! with the option in the menu and start SA! again then go in the config menu ? It should load your licence properly and show you the gold medal.

Let me know if it works.

-

Then try to reboot your device after you get a confirmation that your licence is valid and that the boot option is checked.

It can take up to 30 seconds before SA! start on boot. I have no control over android boot sequence priority. Make sure your wait a bit. Also it help to keep the icon in the notification bar to track if SA! is loaded.

Let me know again for this second step...
