will only hold station if I set display to ALWAYS ON

Have used Muze for over a year to listen to a local station while I drive to work. Has worked well. Sometimes rebuffers (connecting loop) but most of the time zero problems.
Last week I noticed it would stop after about 5 minutes of play. I normally always have my display set for 1 minute or 2 minutes. If I pick up the phone and turn the display back on, would see "initializing...." Message in notifications and the station would start playing again, no buffering, just start back playing. Did this several times.So I tried setting the display to be ALWAYS ON which solved the problem. So Muze will work fine for me as long as the phone doesn't "sleep". This was never a problem until about 2 weeks ago. I drive over an hour commute and cannot always pick up my phone to restart the display to keep my station playing on the interstate at 70 mph. I also listen while walking and can't keep my phone in my pocket with the display on. Also runs the battery down like crazy.

Is there some setting I need to change or did this coincide with the server change? I have not had this happen until the last 2 weeks, otherwise liaten to Muze almost daily for over an hour. Has worked perfectly before this. I need to pay attention to the road and not be fumbling with my phone to keep the station on. Please help with this. Thanks!

Check for your internet signal in your android phone. Mine also will stop working if the phone screen go off. Its because my internet signal wont appear if the screen goes off, Obviously it will stop due to no net connection. Its your phone or network operators problem I guess. Try to find a solution for how to keep the internet always ON while screen is off also. That will give a solution for your problem I guess.
