AmiGO not working in overlay / background (Samsung devices)

Jürgen

For some users, AmiGO does not work when put in overlay (widget) mode, or in the background. The following are some of the signs that your app has stopped working:

• Your current speed and speed limit stop updating. The Overlay widget looks “frozen”.
• You stop getting warnings and instructions, both visually and through voice (TTS).

Samsung Galaxy S8/ S9 / S10 / S20

4. Only enable Notifications, disable the rest.
   
5. Tap Sleeping Apps.
   
6. Wake up all apps using the Trash icon.
