MyNoise stays running in the background after closing

[Former user]

After I started running this app regularly, I noticed my battery was being eaten far faster than normal. I also noticed my volume side buttons would change 'media' volume rather than my ringer. I opened up SD Maid to see if MyNoise was still running in the background after I closed it, and it was. Perhaps this is a necessary evil but I think it's a bug, since I need a 3rd party tool to fully close the app.

Hi, are you running myNoise 1.1 or the beta?

Thanks!

[Former user]

Well I noticed the same thing. I am using beta 1.1.1

Same here with beta 1.1.1 Although I closed the app, it's running still in the background, draining my battery.

[Florian Doyon]

This will be fixed in 1.2

Out of curiosity, what does Spotify / other MP3 players report over the same period of time?

Thanks

I only use Google Music. The app doesn't keep the device awake when not in use.

[Lukas Benda]

Looks good! After update to 1.2b1 the app doesn't keep the device awake any more when not active. Thanks!

My Noise 1.2: I stopped/paused the app via the notification but it was still keeping my device awake. Had to force stop. (S7 with Nougat)

I'm currently running v1.2, and though the app closes, I can't close the notification for it. Running nougat on the Google Pixel. I tried reopening the app, but the notification doesn't close whether the app is open or closed.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I believe this is now fixed in beta 1.5 - feel free to give it a try by enrolling for free here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise

Nope, MyNoise 1.5 keeps running in the background. The only way to stop it, is a force stop. Device: S7, Android 7.0
