Thank you Anke and All who have participated in this good discussion.

Let’s conclude it when the new version is released by App Inventor.

No, unfortunately I get the same result as before when using the extension:
The sound stops after some time (approx. 60 seconds) when the device has switched to idle mode (screen off). Tested with the APK on Galaxy Note8 (Android 9).

What a pity, but it was worth a try.

Note:

This issue (regarding Doze mode) with Samsung Note8, S8 etc. is reported in countless forums, see e.g. here:

There doesn’t seem to be a solution to this and Samsung simply ignores the problem. Strange.

Therefore, this seems not to be a problem related to your great extension @Atom_Developer .

It seems you need to have a running foreground service.

Yes, I checked it and really works.
I had no hope anymore to get a solution to this problem. Amazing job!

But unfortunately it is not so easy to cope with these BackgroundTask blocks. It seems to me that I have to start from scratch again. :wink:
