For the last month, the Tune In radio app on my iPad has experienced almost total failure in connection or significant and frequent dropouts. After spending quite a bit of time unsuccessfully trying to solve the problem by working on my WiFi setup, I happened on an article on the Howard Forum that discussed a similar problem with an Android phone. The poster discussed CPU governors in mobile devices and concluded that Tune In, a background app, had a particular problem when the CPU governor kicked in and throttled the processor. I then remembered that I had set the iPad to shut down its display after 2 minutes, given that I had just purchased a cover with no cover switch. When I reset the iPad to never shut down its display, the Tune In problem disappeared. Also note that this problem did not affect the Tidal app, the SiriusXM app, or other apps using my Wifi system. I just have to be careful to always close the cover when I am listening.
