[android-developers] Re: Service stops after 10 minutes of standby
WakeLocks are evil. Are you sure the service is actually stopping or maybe (based on your criteria) it just doesn't have a new position to tell about?

[android-developers] Re: Service stops after 10 minutes of standby
Wouldn't a wakelock be bad for battery life? It's my understanding that a wake lock keeps the phone from entering into deep sleep power saving state. I know there are other apps with services that had to overcome this exact issue of stopping after 10min of screen off time. I just don't recall what the solution was.

Android may be killing your Service in order to run something else. Try using setForeground() on the service so that it retains priority in the face of pressure from other apps.

Hi, You probably need to obtain a wake lock to keep your service running if you want to stick to the design you've already made, but i guess what you are trying to do could be also done with alarm manager which can wake you up whenever you want.

[android-developers] Re: Service stops after 10 minutes of standby
I think there is something extra that needs to be added to keep your service running in deep sleep standby. Cause my service also stops running on my nexus one once the phone goes into deep sleep. My service actually takes 2 second sample readings of battery current so it would be nice to see standby readings.
