Spark Control does not work when screen locked
-
Hi all.
Hoping for an easy solution here.
I recently purchased a Spark Control. Firmware version is 3.0.2.
It works great, but it only works if the Spark app is open on my phone AND the screen is not locked.
As soon as the screen is locked, the footswitch cannot send commands to the amp.
Is there a setting I am missing?
I am using Android on a Samsung Galaxy S10. Permissions for location etc. is set for 'while using app'. There is no 'always' option.
AirTurn Manager just keeps processing - it won't find firmware.
Is there a newer firmware that resolves this basic issue?
Surely Positive Grid is not expecting phones to have screens on whenever the app is in use. -
@stewielives unfortunately it works in this way...you must keep your phone on and at thte top the app...
I hope they will make a update to use app and spark control in background... -
@coloxim That was a year ago. Still no solution.

@arek I have a feeling the way it works with Bluetooth going through the app not direct to the amp, I think it might be a restriction from the operating system side. The Xsonic Airstep Spk goes direct to amp, but if there is more than one Spark around, controlling which one it connects to is an issue. Pros and cons.
If using an iPad, then split screen with another app allows you to use another app without losing connection.
