Mate 10 Pro - Bluetooth Audio Stops when screen switched off

[gaz_0001]

Hi,

Mate 10 Pro user here.

When I play audio via Bluetooth to my car or headphones, after the screen switches off the audio stops.
When I switch the screen back on the audio starts back up.

Any ideas? Seems like some power optimisation, but I can't find anywhere to fix it.

Which player are you using? It sounds like the 'phone is killing your (presumably non-stock) music player.

I am using two apps.. Both from this website.
One is Ymusic,other is dogfood Spotify.
I didn't try with my usual app power amp yet.

None of these are by default allowed to run in the background (thank Huawei's rather vicious power management system), which would explain why they're being killed as soon as the system thinks you're no longer using them.

Go to Settings -> Battery -> Launch and switch whichever player you want to use to "manage manually," and leave all three manual settings set to "on" (or in the very least, leave the "run in background" option enabled).

This should then allow your preferred media player to continue running in the background after the screen locks.

Thanks a lot for that.

Seems to be working perfectly.
This is actually what i was looking for, but coming from Pure Android based roms, I didnt know what "Launch" was

To tell you the truth, I was getting ready to try to sell my Mate 10 when it was three days old, because the power saving features are so intrusive.

As time has progressed though, I've learnt to embrace its idiosyncrasies and am now very happy with it all 'round.

Just one more point which I'm sure you'll encounter sooner rather than later - if you need an app to consistently run in the background (for example, Tasker or an e-mail client), you'll want to tell the Mate 10 to allow it to do so;

Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Apps -> Settings (the cog at the bottom of the screen) -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation
... then set your critical apps to "Don't Optimise."

Until I did this for K9 Mail and Tasker, I was only getting notification updates when I unlocked the 'phone, which more often than not was a couple of hours after I was sent an urgent e-mail.

You are happy that this setting works for you! For me for example, that doesnt solves anything! I would sell it for sure, but theres just no point. gonna wait one year, but not going to buy huawei by any means.
