Hi all, I hope someone can help me! I really find having music on helps my running but I've just had a new phone and a tech problem has put me right off my stride on tonights run!
I have just bought a Huawei Y6s. It connects to my fitbit charge 3 on Bluetooth fine, and all week I've had it connected to my envivo36 jam pot-style speaker playing music at home on Spotify. Tonight, I connected it to my gv-bt400 headphones for my run a d started Spotify. .. No issues to start off with.
A minute later, the music stopped and my headphones disconnected. I reconnected, pressed play... Then it happened again. Clearly, my headphones were disconnecting when my phone screen turned off.
I still did my run, but missed my music terribly!
I have googled the problem, and followed two suggestions : one) turn off "manage automatically" for Spotify in the battery settings and allow "run in background two) add my headphones to Google smart lock as a trusted device to stop the phone automatically locking when connected.
This is a partial fix - it will keep my headphones connected and my music playing while I run so long as I don't manually lock my phone. However, this poses another couple of little problems :
1) the mobile data, Bluetooth, location "on" and keeping my screen on is killing my battery
2) my finger naturally sits on the power button when I hold it... So I keep locking it by accident
At home, if the screen locks, my jampot speaker doesn't get disconnected so I'm certain there's a setting or something I'm missing here.
Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated!
