Countdown of timer stops when phone goes to sleep #3

Closed japhir closed 5 years ago

japhir commented 6 years ago

I started a 30 min test yesterday evening to see how the app worked and to stop me from browsing Reddit before bed 😉. However, when I woke up it still had 17 minutes to go. After playing around for a bit, it appears that the timer doesn't continue once the screen goes idle. I have turned off battery optimisation for the app. Cheers!

EDIT: I'm on Android 8.1.0 on a Nexus 5x (hammerhead)

@japhir I really doubt it's because the phone went idle, can you tell me if you set the timer before 00:00 ? ( 12 midnight ?) and the timer passed it? if so, the timer will break if show around 20+ hours.

This is a known bug and i yet to release a fix for it. if not, please state the following:

-Time you started lockdown -Number of apps you selected ?

Ahh that could be it, just ran it for 30 minutes and it went fine in idle mode. Cheers

I reproduced it by:

Turn on the 30 minute blocker at a quarter to twelve
turn on airplane mode (went to bed) and sleep tracking
wake up to find the timer still running
turn off airplane mode
timer is set to something like 16 hours

Also, the time display is weird sometimes, it displayed, for example: 15:2:03 (in stead of 15:02:03).

@japhir Hey

The timer should work perfectly fine even if the app is closed/in background.

I'll be testing it regarding airplane mode or so, given that the app has nothing to do with wireless / data connectivity. Thanks for the feedback, i'll work on it when i'm available!

And the time display, that is intended. I can make a setting to show both ways, if you want :)

@japhir Are you still experiencing the issue?

japhir commented 6 years ago

I think the issue is the same as the other one, it flips out a little if you set the timer before 00:00. So if there's an issue for that, this can be closed.

Haven't used the app much because I decided to just remove the addictive apps from my phone 😉

Vel-San commented 6 years ago

@japhir Okay, thanks! I found the source of this bug, however, i'm unable to fix it fast. I'll be looking into it more. I will release a version soon without this fix so i can work on it :)

Vel-San commented 5 years ago

Closed for the moment as i have released a fix for it. If the issue comes back i'll re-open the ticket. Thanks!
