Question
Since there is only one Wake-Lock left with 5.0, what is the way to force the device to go out of standby for 2-5 Seconds and then go back black. No interaction, no unlock of keys... just out of standby. All solutions I found work with deprecated Wake-Locks.
I know it´s a bad idea and Google want to forbid it to me... do this for normal apps makes sense, but I work on a scientific app where I need it and can risk the battery drain.
Can I force a deprecated wake lock to work under a newer OS?
Why I need this?/What I do/2 Devices == Different behavoíour
I have a step counter, write the values to a sqlite db - at a alarm i look to the db and ask for the steps. based on this I do some magic.
Sony: With the Sony Xperia Z1 compact it works, because they don´t stop the sensors while Standby. So no batching.
Samsung: Same app, also step counter as sensor. But here I always get 0 steps when I ask for them in my alarm. A workaround: When I start the device out of standby for a moment and go to black again. My alarm can get the right value. And this is what I need. So I want to activate the display before I ask for the steps. Then the batched sensor data must be in the db and I get the right steps.
So any solutions? Wake-Locks over the service runtime, where my step counter is inside, are not working.
Big thank you, and I am sure for this case there is no duplicate Question. Get points and make me happy. Big Thank you for your help!
