zodymarc Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I'm having a weird issue when I connect my Pixel (6) to the USB and use it to play backing tracks through the amp. Doesn't matter what app I use (Tidal, Spotify, YouTube). Everything works great....for about 4 minutes, then the audio completely cuts out and won't come back on unless I disconnect the phone and plug it back in. Then I get another 4-ish minutes. I realize this is very likely a Pixel issue and not a Catalyst issue (everything works great if I plug my laptop into the amp), but I figured maybe someone had run into this issue. I tried airplane mode, forcing the screen to stay on, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josehdx Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 In Samsung phones there is an option that is intended to disable the usb connection after the screen goes off. You need to find if there is some similar security settings in your device. I dont have pixel sl its hard to tell. Try to keep the screen on for a long period of time will playing musical and you will see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zodymarc Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 As a further update, it does not appear to be a "sleep" function (unless there is something that goes to sleep even when the screen is still on). Today I turned on the backing track and continued to use my phone, preventing it from going to sleep. Again, 4-ish minutes later, volume went off, I quickly switched from "headphones" (which is what my phone thinks is connected) to phone speaker, and then back to headphones and it comes right back on for about another 4 minutes.

WildeGeist Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I found this. I hope it helps. On Android, the built-in system itself manages and "turns off" unused apps through a feature called "App hibernation" which automatically pauses the activity of apps you haven't used for a while, essentially optimizing them for storage by stopping background processes and limiting notifications; you can access this feature by going to your device settings, then "Apps" and selecting "Unused apps" to review and manage which apps are considered unused. https://support.google.com/android/answer/13627979?hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
