Prevent Interruptions: How to Keep Balancing Meditations and Frequencies Playing Smoothly
When using the BioCoherence app to play balancing meditations or frequencies, it's essential to ensure your device stays active. If your device goes to sleep or the screen locks, particularly on iPhones, the playback may pause, interrupting your session. This guide explains why this happens and how to configure your device to avoid such interruptions, ensuring a seamless experience.
Why Does Playback Stop When the Screen Locks?
Most devices, including iPhones, Android phones, Macs, and Windows PCs, have power-saving features that automatically lock the screen or put the device to sleep after a period of inactivity. While this helps conserve battery life, it can disrupt apps like BioCoherence that require uninterrupted playback. To prevent this, you'll need to adjust your device's settings.
How to Keep Your Device Awake for BioCoherence Playback
iPhone:
Open the Settings app.
Scroll down and tap Display & Brightness.
Tap Auto-Lock and select Never. This will keep your screen from locking automatically.
If you want to avoid permanently disabling auto-lock, remember to re-enable it after your session.
Android:
Open the Settings app.
Navigate to Display > Sleep or Screen Timeout (the name varies by device).
Set the timeout to the longest duration available or select Never (if your device supports it).
Alternatively, use the Keep Screen On feature available in some apps or enable Developer Options > Stay Awake (requires the phone to be charging).
Mac:
Click the Apple menu (top-left corner) and select System Preferences.
Go to Battery (or Energy Saver on older versions).
Adjust the Turn display off after slider to Never or a long duration.
For sessions, you can also temporarily disable sleep mode by opening Terminal and typing:
caffeinate
This keeps your Mac awake until you close the Terminal window.
Windows PC:
Open the Control Panel or Settings app.
Go to Power & Sleep.
Under the Screen section, set the timeout duration to Never or a long duration.
For quick sessions, press Windows + X, select Power Options, and adjust sleep settings as needed.
Best Practices for Playback:
-Use a device with sufficient battery charge or keep it plugged in during longer sessions.
-Consider enabling Do Not Disturb mode to avoid interruptions from notifications while meditating.
-Revert any settings changes after your session to conserve battery life and maintain normal device behavior.
A Seamless Experience for Your Well-Being
Balancing meditations and frequencies work best when uninterrupted. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your well-being journey without technical hiccups.
