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?

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
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.

Hey there,

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. This can save you some battery.

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
As Nick mentioned, you'll want to look into a wake lock. I would highly
recommend Mark's implementation with WakefulIntentService (
https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-wakeful). I'm using it in my app with no
issues at all.

Hi,
I found a solution by myself. At least the HTC Hero and HTC Tattoo has
an option Settings/Wireless controls/Mobile networks/Enable always-on
mobile which allows to disable this power feature. Unfortunately the
HTC Magic does not have this option.

I agree. If you are starting the service by binding to it with the
activity, once the activity goes away the bind will go away and the
OS will think there is no reason to keep the service up.
If the service was started using a pending intent from the activity,
the service then is started by the

I have not used Handler inside a Service, and so I have no idea whether

The listener though has to run all the time to be able to listen. As
