Azan seems to randomly end for no reason at all.
Closed this issue · 21 comments
Describe the bug
Sometimes, the azan ends randomly, this isn't consistent at all. Sometimes it ends at the beginning of the azan and sometimes in the middle of it. Sometimes the azan plays completely and nothing wrong happens.
To Reproduce
- Wait for it to be prayer time
- either it randomly ends in the beginning or middle. Or it plays fine,
Expected behavior
For the azan to play completely.
Device Info :
- Device: Sony Xperia L1
- OS: Android 7
App Version:
F-Droid: Yes
1.16
I remember trying the latest pre release version (i think it was 1.17 rc13) and it also had the same issue
Additional context
Battery optimization is disabled
this sounds like a battery saving issue
have you tried disabling battery saving for this app ?
on some devices there's extra settings for this, watch out for that as well
please check https://dontkillmyapp.com/sony to see if your device is properly configured

I will try to see if the azan plays with stamina mode on/off and see if that makes a difference.
The azan still ends randomly even with stamina off.
there's two more solutions on that page, please check if those are available on your phone and try them as well
(Adaptive battery & Power-saving feature)

I dont have any of these .
The last prayer application i used, which was Pillars, never had this issue ever. But maybe its because the azan is an alarm and not a notification? Because Pillars uses notification.
with notification we don't have control over what is played after the initial settings (there actually is a way but it's hacky way). so if pillars can change the audio from inside the app, they use the same technique as us. probably.
but it shouldn't be the reason from what I understand
what adhan do you use ? custom sound or default adhan ?
for reference, can you install a third party alarm clock and set your custom adhan (if you use one) as the alarm sound and see if it plays till completion ? if possible, try both google's alarm clock and a less used one (to see if there's a whitelist built into the phone's os)
this can help a lot
thank you

I use a custom azan.

I will try this and see if similar behavior happens.
also try to see if default adhan has the same problem or not
Sorry for replying late.
I didnt have time to test it since i was extremely busy but maybe in the next couple days i will test.
The issue seems to have resolved itself, as it has been a couple days and the athan never ended randomly.
The issue is back but i think i know the cause.
When the adhan was playing fine for a couple days, i had no alarm setup (using the default clock app) so the adhan always played fully. But now when i setup an alarm in the clock app the inconsistent behaviour is back. I guess thats a cause that im not sure how it would be solved.
hmm
you mean you have an alarm, that fires like 1 minute after adhan ? and alarm starting causes adhan to stop ?

no, what i meant is basically if i had an alarm setup, doesnt matter if its close to the adhan (in terms of time) or if its far apart from the adhan. it would still randomly end. like the sheer presence of having an alarm can make the app randomly end or not.
Try enabling this in settings and see how it goes
Sure i will try this and report the result in a day or two
nothing changed it still ends randomly.
I'm sorry but this sounds like to be a device specific issue, so I don't think there's much i can do
I have asked you to try anything that came into my mind
I wish I could help you more
@Growebis can you test this please?

also tell me if your custom adhan plays till completion when you play it in the settings using the play button
I'm sorry but without more info I can't work on this and keep this issue open
