I have a background service which is running all the times and collects sensor data. But when the screen dims, it stops collecting the data.
I want it to collect even in this case.
My device is HTC MyTouch. I have tried prtial wake lock, buy it didn't work.
Can anyone please help me fix this problem.
Thanks Sowmya

This is a documented issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3708
Unfortunately no easy fix exists and the workarounds also don't always work. It seems to be fixed in Android 2.3.3 for most (if not all) devices though.
