Run/Bike app?

I've tried just about every reasonably rated run/bike app on my Aria (Endomondo and RunKeeper seem to be the best) and always have the same problem.
I start them before a run/ride, but shortly after I begin, my screen turns off and the app seems to close. It actually is still running (when I press and hold the Home button, the app appears), but when I reopen it, my current run/ride has terminated.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to keep the app going when my screen turns off?
Thanks in advance.

i use runkeeper and dont ever have that problem, the screen normally stays on the entire time unless i manually lock it or change screens
i dont even know how to change the settings to make it do anything different

I also use runkeeper without any problems (running Liberated Beta 5). I start the application/activity, lock the screen, and it runs without fail either in the background or as the primary running application.
Are you using some kind of automated task killer or battery saving application? That is the only thing I can think of that would explain the closing of the app when your screen shuts off.

your old thread is still here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742912&highlight=endomondo

I never saw your trackboost suggestion. I did a search on the Market and it couldn't find it. Can you send me a link to it?

I don't use a lockscreen. I just turn off the screen with the power button.
Not aware of using any task killer or battery saving app. In my task manager, it is still running.

Search: only foreground app killer

I looked for a solution long time for this, no success.
I wanna an app that can kill the active (foreground app) only, like in Cyanogenmod "long press back button kill".
I wanna assign to a hardware key this app to kill my active app.
(there is a "shake task killer " app, but I dont love it)
Anybody?

[Q]How does one disable "My Magazine"?

I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.
Does anyone know how?

I think until root is achieved if you cant disable it in app manager if you use a third party launcher it stops it from activating

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

is there any way to start the my magazine as an app and put on my home screen etc?
i cannot seems to find it in the app draw

I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.

It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

Semi Solution
In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!

I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.

I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.

I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

If you disable the apk it messes with the stock e-mail app for some reason. I spent days trying to figure out why until someone in another thread suggested I try unfreezing it. Now I haven't had any issues for about 3 days with the e-mail app.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

I read that this method is doing a fc whit the email apps

I am pretty disappointed with this. I was hoping I would not have to root the device.
You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.
What was Samsung thinking when they thought they should FORCE everyone to use it or SUFFER the inconvenience...

Jokesonme gave you the answer! With that app you don't have to root and you can have it do nothing when you swipe or switch it to a different app.
Thanks jokesonme!!

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.

This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.
Any other options?

MightyText on MIUI 8

Hi,
MightyText is a background app that syncs SMSs and other notifications from phone to Internet in realtime.
On MIUI 8 on Mi 5, the synchronization only happens when the app is shown in Multitask app lists, and some kind of task management periodically remove it from there, which make the synchronization stop. I tried to "Setting > Battery & performance > Power > App battery saver" to put "No restrictions" to the app, but it didn't help.
Any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks a lot!

Mighty text is not something found on Miui seems like your using a fake rom from the seller

I have contacted MightyText support about this. And they told me that you will have to turn the battery saver feature completely off to get MightyText to work. I'm not going to compensate the entire phone battery life for one app. So I stopped using it. It'd be great if someone can find out exactly which service on top of the MightyText app that we need to add to exception list to get MightyText working

You can lock the app so that Task manager won't kill it. Just show running apps (press left button) and slide the app down. There you will see a padlock at the left. Press it and the app will stay working and won't be killed.
Regards.

Confirming this method works! Thanks for the tip!
It's strange that the battery saver exception doesn't automatically do that for me since I have added Mightytext app in the Exception list.

Hi,
Usually needs root, if you have root use fng navbar. If no root, use Samsungs one hand operation + app and you get option to close app, that kills it.
Batman for the win :laugh:

Thank you that is great I did not know the app was capable of doing this I had to create a tasker script to long hold the back button for 3 seconds to kill it but I've got to run it in ADB Wi-Fi command every time I reboot my phone so the task has enough permissions to run.
