Listening to audiobooks or podcasts on the Palma can be a frustrating experience, especially if you have a case with a magnetic cover that puts the device to sleep when you close it, as doing so will also pause any audio you're listening to. However, you can fix this with a few settings changes. The first thing you'll need to do is adjust your settings to allow apps that play audio to continue running in the background.

Listening to audiobooks or podcasts on the Palma can be a frustrating experience, especially if you have a case with a magnetic cover that puts the device to sleep when you close it, as doing so will also pause any audio you're listening to. However, you can fix this with a few settings changes. The first thing you'll need to do is adjust your settings to allow apps that play audio to continue running in the background. In the interest of preserving battery life, the Palma OS turns this setting off for every app you download from the Google Play Store, but you can change that. First, you can long-press the icon of any app on the home screen.
This will bring up a menu with a few different options. Tap "Optimize. " From the next pop-up menu, select the "Others" tab, then make sure the slider next to "Stay active in the background" is turned to On. Next, you need to "unfreeze" background apps so they don't try to update when not in use. You can make this change globally, or on a per-app basis.
Freezing apps improves battery life, so keep that in mind as you make your decision. To unfreeze a single app, open Settings and scroll down to "Apps and Notifications. " Tap "Freeze Settings," find your audio-playing apps in the list of installed programs, and turn the slider to off. To unfreeze all your apps, from this same menu, turn the "Do not freeze apps running in the background (audio, input methods, etc. )" slider to On.
The last thing you'll need to do is keep the Palma from turning off Bluetooth and disconnecting your headphones after the device goes to sleep. To do that, open Settings and scroll to Power. On the next screen, tap "Bluetooth Status After Sleep" and select "Stay Connected" from the pop-up menu. (I'd also suggest turning on "Always turn Bluetooth on when the device starts up" from this menu, so you won't have to manually turn Bluetooth on every time you want to connect your headphones—though this too will affect your overall battery life).
