FEAR THE RESET! Thanks for the suggestion. But I'm doing any more resets. I went to Safe Mode and that changed configurations I wasn't expecting. Not only did it removed my theme and a couple other minor configurations, it turned off syncing on all of my (dozen or so) email accounts. So I...

I don't believe I ever get 4G, but certainly in 5G. WiFI is turned off 99% of the time. Turned it on just to check and power savings is not enabled. No VPN. Oh well... Thanks!

I saw that. turning music on didh't help. But it does day tapping the clock when locked, so it doesn't appear to address the app, only the lock screen display of the app. Thanks (again and again)!

Welcome to today's episode of Stump The Forum! Today, we're going to try some even more esoteric Android changes that won't solve the problem. And in case you're wondering what today's prize is, the winner (if there is one before we reach the end of this season) is the claim to be the first to...

Thanks. I don't see one. I wonder if the symptoms are the same on a non-Samsung device. ?

Hi SpookDroid. Thanks for the comments and the great questions. I've tested a lot of combinations. Using either the Samsung Buds2 or the S24 speaker, I've tried PowerAmp, Chrome, DuckDuckGo, and VoiceRecorder. All of them turn off when the phone locks by timeout or if the phone locks by...

Hi, I upgraded to a Samsung S24 and have been using PowerAmp for years and never had problems before. Now when I'm streaming to my Buds2, Poweramp shuts down when the screen locks. I can restart it using the bud controls, but this is irritating. I've tried updating permissions but there...
