Title: Another track recording question
Post by: Edouard on November 03, 2017, 17:45:04
Hi,
I am using Locus 3.62.2 on a HTC Desire 530 powered by Android 6.0.1
Track recording used to work all right, but recently, and for an unknown reason (unknown to me), GPS location stops as soon as the screen switches off...
I cannot find the right parameters to solve the problem...
Thank you for helping.
Edouard

Hi Edouard,

first of all you should check your disable / enable gps settings (http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:settings:gps#disable_enable_gps) in the GPS and location dialog.

Hello,

This seems to be an interesting point.
As a matter of fact, there si some kind of Battery saver acting.
I"ll try this and report.
Thank you for helping.

I checked my settings. They are:
Disable OFF
Track recording ON
Guidiance ON
So they should be set right.

Hi !

Thank you for your help, it was totally usefull.
The point was the battery saver which switches OFF the GPS. Without telling.

Android is sometimes very unuderstandable and unfriendly...
