Hi, I m doing it as part of a research project. I need my service to keep running even when the device is asleep(until the user presses Stop button in the App s GUI) and monitor difference in battery consumption. I used PowerManager(implemented WiFi Locks also) because I read that CPU will be ON during this period. When I plug device to the computer, it is working fine. But as soon as it is disconnected, the service seem to stop. I want to know if this is expected behavior? Please guide me in this regard.
