Keep Windows Mobile App running in standby mode?
I have a simple Windows Mobile application which records GPS coordinates every 5 minutes. The problem is the app works fine as long as the screen is on, as soon as the phone goes in standby mode the app stops working. When I switch on the device the app again starts working again.
What do I do to keep the app working even in standby mode?

While using standby mode GPS loses its signal and thats why your app wouldnt work.

To fix this manually:

go to Start -> Settings -> System -> Power -> Advanced and uncheck the "turn off device if not used for…" option.

If you wish to make it by coding:
