Background music/video auto stops

Help Fairphone 6
1

Hi everyone!

As mentioned in the title, a while back I began having an issue with background music/videos stopping playing, rarely when doing something else on my phone, but quite often when the phone is locked. I think the issue is somewhat similar to this post, though on FP6, not FP5, and mostly unrelated to notifications.

I have deactivated the battery optimisations for these apps, hoping it would solve the issue, but no luck there.

Is this an issue with RAM usage? I would assume Tidal/Spotify/YouTube to not be so greedy as to cause this sort of problems.

I am running the Android (16) version, on the FP6.QREL.16.48.0 build.

Is anyone having such issues? What could I do to prevent it from occurring?

Thanks a lot!

I’m having the same / similar problem while listening to Geminis answers. As soon as the screenlock sets in, it stops reading to me. I made all recommended changes to the settings but with no change in the result. I’m using FP 6, Android 15 (I’m waiting 16 to be patched up before installing it). Any solutions dear community?

Fairphone is looking into the issue with backgroundapps bring killed, so when granting unrestricted battery access, at the moment there is no solution to this.
