Hello.
I'd like to leave my Mi8 recording a time-lapse video for a long time. Then I've decided to turn the screen off to save some battery and because it's not good for the screen to be always on.
But whenever I turn the screen off the video stops and the camera app switches to the "Foto" option instead.

How can I solve it?

some apps like secret video can record a video even when the display is turned off. Does anyone know how this is possible? until now i only tried to record with MediaRecorder and when the screen is turned off, the video will show just black. Should i use another method or what's the trick? DigitalOcean SiteGround iPage
