Keep OHdio playing when an Android screen locks

Radio-Canada identifies app-specific Android battery restrictions as a likely cause when OHdio stops only at screen lock or in the background.

Match the specific background symptom

The OHdio help addresses audio stopping when the phone locks or the application moves into the background. First compare that with listening while the app is visible. A difference between those states is relevant to the documented battery setting. It does not establish that every interruption, unavailable recording or silent computer-browser tab has the same cause.

Review the current app’s battery permission

For Android twelve and later, Radio-Canada directs opening the phone’s Settings, Applications and RC OHdio, then Battery or Pile, sometimes under Advanced. Choose the manufacturer’s equivalent of unrestricted, no restriction or do not optimise. This is a setting for the OHdio application. The help does not direct disabling battery management for every application on the phone.

Use the older Android route when applicable

For Android nine, ten and eleven, the broadcaster includes an additional battery-optimisation list. Open Applications or Apps and notifications, select RC OHdio, open Battery and Battery optimisation, then locate RC OHdio in the all-apps list and select the equivalent unrestricted option. Menu wording varies by manufacturer, so use the installed Android version rather than following the newer route mechanically.

Check the changed condition once

Return to the same listening item, allow the screen to lock and observe whether playback continues. Radio-Canada’s related guidance records examples using a Samsung S22 and Google Pixel 4 under Android twelve, with manufacturer variation. If the symptom remains, retain the visible-versus-background result rather than repeatedly changing unrelated settings without comparing the original condition.
