LewZephyr Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Does not happen all the time, so not a show stopper by any means. I do not have it optimized in the battery optimization area, and I am not running any special apps that do that. Not sure what else to look for, or what to do. Didn't find any further suggestions from the FAQ or Google search. Thanks for your time and assistance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Someguyonline Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Are you running it on an emulator? (Just out of curiosity,I'm not a support staff) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrewilley Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Does this happen when you turn the screen off? I very occasionally (maybe once in one or two months) get this message when I turn the screen off at night. When I turn the screen back on, PA is still there but with the Killed message in front of it. I just need to tap Play (or press the equivalent headset button) to resume listening where it stopped.

Andre It happens when I am going to sleep usually, so the screen is off... and maybe I manually turned the screen off. Not sure. Doesn't happen all the time, but enough to make me double check myself that I had it removed from battery management. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds pretty much the same as for me. My evening routine is to put my headphones on and start playback, turn the Sleep timer on, and then press the power button to turn the screen off. Very occasionally playback immediately stops as soon as the screen turns off. I can restart playback by tapping on the cabled headset button - but if I turn the screen back on first to check, I see the 'PA was Killed' message superimposed over the player interface. Next time it happens (it's pretty rare) I'll see if I can save a log. Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Someguyonline Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Just a suggestion,have you tried setting up wakelock? In Settings >. Misc? Not sure if it would help but no harm in trying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It happened again last night: I plugged my headphones in and started my usual night-time shuffled playback, set the Sleep Timer to 30 minutes, and tapped the Power button to turn the screen off. At that point, the music immediately stopped. When I turned the screen back on, it was showing the "Poweramp detected it was was killed during active playback" popup. PA was still running behind this though, and playback could be restarted by tapping on the headset button. Nothing helpful in Last Processed Commands, just the messages from when I plugged the headset in: I grabbed a diagnostics log and will email it to @maxmp.

maxmp Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 @andrewilley received the log, thanks, but in the case of process killing, Poweramp won't collect the log from the previous run. It's only possible to do that via Developer settings / Bug report / Full, ASAP after the issue as that log contains only last couple of minutes or less. Btw, the wakelock option won't work on recent Androids and not recommended esp. on Samsung Android 11 which is very restrictive about wakelocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrewilley Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I wasn't sure if the log contained anything useful, but the timestamps did show from around when I plugged in the headphone cable, right though until after the audio was killed, so I hoped there might have been something useful. Next time I'll try to remember to get a full dev bug report (if I'm awake enough to remember ). Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrewilley Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 @maxmp It just happened during the daytime for once. Exact same scenario as happens at night: inserted headset plug, started PA playing normally, tapped the power button to turn the screen off and the audio immediately stopped. When I woke the screen again, there was a message saying PA had been killed (as per the first post of this thread). I requested a bug report and will Dropbox it to you as it's probably too big for email. Hope it helps. Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
