Trainerday in background on Android

I’ve been replicating this issue every day for the past 3 days. (not quite the same though, it isn’t an instant pause)

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G

Workflow:

  1. Open Trainer Day on PC and launch a broadcast / live window
  2. Wake up trainer (Elite Direto XR-T)
  3. Open TrainerDay app on phone
  4. Start daily workout (from calendar)
  5. Swap to Firefox app on phone and watch a video (youtube, twitch, etc.)

First occurence (March 10th) 18 minutes and 20 seconds into workout.
Swap to TrainerDay app, it appears to have been completely closed/stopped as it loads on the ‘home’ page, press Continue at the bottom and finish workout.

Second occurence (March 11th) 17 minutes and 30 seconds into workout. Same as above.

Third occurence (March 12th) 15 minutes into workout. Same as above.

Fourth occurence (March 13th) 16 minutes and 50 seconds into workout and 36 minutes and 30 seconds into workout. Same as above (twice). This was with the ‘Lock this app’ option in the recent apps screen, no change in behaviour.

Fifth occurence (March 14th) 10 minutes and 44 seconds into workout and 30 minutes and 42 seconds into workout. Same as above (twice). This was with the app excluded from memory scan, no change in behaviour.

I can happily share my intervals.icu workouts, phone settings, do some testing, anything that can help with this issue. Just send me a dm.

P.S.: Battery is already set to ‘Unrestricted’ for the TrainerDay app

P.S.2: Might be due to this: Google Issue Tracker
Will try a few other optimizations as shown here next week Samsung | Don’t kill my app! .
