can I stop freezing waydroind when screen is off?
-
I'm trying to use GPS tracking app in waydroid, but the recording is very coarse, like half of the resolution when the app is run on a native Android. Eventually I noticed that the recording is good if I keep the HUD (the app) always on.
I suspected that it's something with throttling waydroid when the screen is off. I found a perfect way to prove that, by playing internet radio in waydroid. When I turn off the screen, the music keeps playing fine for a short while, then start chopping a little bit, then starts much longer pauses, like 1-2 seconds long.
I can see that the battery is drained fast when using the app in waydroind with screen on, but if I'm ok with the battery drain, are there some advanced settings to stop the throttling when the screen is off?
There is an app "waydroid freezer", but it let me do only the opposite

@fair Which phone is this?
This is usually an issue with media playback that doesn't use media hub such as webapps. I guess Waydroid has the same problem, when you lock the device, apps get suspended. Interesting that Waydroid is also affected considering that it doesn't really suspend. I assume your phone has proper deep sleep so apps don't just suspend, the device goes into low power mode that processes like Waydroid can't function properly anymore.
