Xperia ZL: DLNA battery issue

[lcosmin_gmail_c]

Just got myself a new ZL locked to Rogers Canada.

The 'throw' feature works well, but there is a little issue with the app. Once I 'throw' a movie, it looks like the 'Devices' process stays in the background doing some actions even after the movie finished and I closed the application.

Checking the wake locks I can see SemcDlna keeping the phone from going to sleep. The only fix is to manually stop the 'Devices' app or restart the phone.

Is this problem known? Is there a fix for it?

Although the 'throw' function can be launched from an app(Movies, Walkman), it is a standalone function/module. Once ;throw; is activated, the connection is still there untill you manually disable it. Pretty much wos like how you can "throw" audio to BT headphones and it's still connected when the walkman is stopped. BT is still running and connected.

So I don't think it's a problem per say, since that is how it works. If not, you will have to pair your BT/DLNA devices everytime you stop and play again. Which is more troublesome.
