Hi! I understand your Simple Radio app stops playing on its own after a few minutes, right? I'd like to help you get it working smoothly again. Just to clarify, does it stop even when your phone is unlocked and you're actively using the app, or does it stop mostly when the screen locks or the app goes into the background?

Meanwhile, here are some helpful steps tailored for your Android 10 device with a WebKit browser environment:

1. Check Power Saving Mode:
Android often limits background activities when Power Saving Mode is turned on, which can cause apps like Simple Radio to stop streaming.
- Go to Settings > Battery > Power Saving Mode.
- If it's on, please turn it off. This allows apps to run constantly even when the screen is off.

2. Prevent the App from Sleeping:
Some Android phones have “Sleeping apps” or similar features that restrict background activity to save battery.
- In Settings > Apps > find Simple Radio > look for Battery or Advanced options.
- Disable any settings like “Put app to sleep” or “Restrict background activity.”

3. Allow Background Data:
Make sure Simple Radio can use data when running in the background.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Simple Radio > Data usage.
- Enable “Background data” or similar option.

4. Clear Cache and Restart App:
Sometimes, cached data can interfere.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Simple Radio > Storage > Clear cache.
- Then restart the app.

5. Keep Screen Awake (Test):
To test if the problem is related to the app being paused during sleep mode, try playing Simple Radio with your screen on for a few minutes. If the audio keeps playing without stopping, the issue likely relates to your phone’s background or power management settings.

If you’ve already tried any of these steps, please let me know which ones so we can explore deeper options!

Are you okay with trying these first? If any step feels unclear, I can guide you through it more specifically.
