App stops during run.

[Yellowsunset]

Yesterday, my app stopped talking during a running bit of my week 4. I thought this run is never ending lol but kept going on and on then realised it must be the app!! It had stopped completely. Not even just so I had option end run now and save or else restart again. Was no resume. Anyway there was just one more 5 minute run left so I used my garmin to complete the run.

Anyone else have the issue? Or know how to avoid?

I had phone in my leggings pocket. My phone cannot unlock without a swipe sequence or else my fingerprint.

I do recall a WhatsApp beep which would come up when locked as a pop up screen.. but surely this should not affect c25k app

It is unfortunately very common with the C25k app and I don't think there is an obvious way of avoiding it.

The other option if it becomes a problem is to use the old school podcasts, which are just mp3 files...........if you can cope with the music.

I also didn't know it was very common, was first time for me at 1st run of week4. It was on the 3 minute run so I probably did about 5 three times in a row.. will do me no harm.lol

I had this problem but solved it by making sure the screen didn't go "to sleep" but stayed on all the time. It was fine after that.

How do I make sure screen doesn't go to sleep?

I cant leave unlocked in my pocket in case I accidentally answer someone when unsuitable to talk ot accidentally ring someone or send weird messages haha.

Is it possible? To have screen locked but not go to sleep? Is it a setting? To NOT sleep for 30 minutes?

I'm a bit lost lol

Not sure what phone you have. Mines a huawei. Under settings, display, sleep (which I changed to never for the run then change it back). I think it will be difficult in your pocket. Mine is in a holder on my arm so stays untouched.
