schimanski Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 9, 2011 #1 Hello! I have a freaky problem with two services. I have one service, which collects the data from the GPS-Chip. It runs normaly and it runs also, when the device is sleeping. When I start the second service, which is the service for TTS, it runs also without problems. But then, when the device sleeps, the TTS-service continue, but the service for the GPS-data stops after a few seconds. Sometimes, the android-icon for the gps will be disappear, so that it seems, that the gps-service will stop, when the tts-service is on and the device sleeps.... I have tried to start the service for the GPS under service-create again with the parameters for 'during sleep', but the same result. Thanks for help...

Hello Erel, this is not the case. I have a third service, which sends the gps-data to a server, so I can see, that the GPS is still running, when the device is sleeping. The GPS will only stop, when the TTS-Service is running..... I can't understand the relation.... Upvote 0
