@m4r0v3r what is your question about?

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

But who cares about the store? Chum is where the money is.

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

@m4r0v3r if you asking why store not allowing background services answer is simple: because dbus daemons can be started as root, and there are no checkings if you starting it as regular user or root, and because of that it's just forbidden at all :)

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

No, that's not true for user/session services.

I suspect the problem is that there's no task manager/service control UI to lay blame to a specific program.

Besides, opportunistic suspend makes daemons completely useless.

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

not entirely true, but close enough. At best it makes daemons run unreliably. At least without nasty hooks.

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

That's not a problem for Pebble daemon, as long as ring/sms/notification wakes up the device :)

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

Care to elaborate where exactly is that money?

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

thats exactly what am asking, thank you :)

do daemons not run effectively due to wakelocks? or atleast how deep sleep is implemented through wakelocks??

Re: Background service in SailfishOS
 

It will only wake the device for less than a second, unless you or someone else takes a wakelock. (Which are also forbidden in store btw).
If your BT connection is e.g. parked, or has been lost, etc. your program will take more time than what the system needs to display the notification, and will then happily proceed to suspend while your program hasn't yet forwarded the notification to the watch.
