[ANDROID QUESTION] About apps

Hi,

I got galaxy trend s7580. and also had s4. so, when I lock my screen or when it gets locked, doesn`t matter, if it`s locked by password, or has no lock at all. After some time, the applications like STEAM or SKYPE closes / loses connection, i don`t know why is that. So as example: I run my steam on mobile, and on computer at same time, so on mobile then screen gets black, locked, then like after 10 mins, it disconnects me from steam on mobile, so on pc i don`t see the mobile icon near my name anymore, but when i turn on screen again, then it connects me to steam mobile again easily.

Isn`t there no way to keep the applications active, even if screen is black, locked, the same as it would run on normal mode when screen is active ?
 
Hi

I suspect that is because your device is turning off your wifi when the screen is locked. You could maybe use an app such as Juicedefender which has settings to keep data connections live for a particular app (or apps) when the screen goes off. Also useful for music players, download torrents etc if they have this problem.
