Quick question, Menion got me to download a test version (2.4.3.4) of locus that expired today. and it says in google play that locus is up to date. if i uninstall locus from my phone and re-download locus will i lose all my recorded tracks or offline maps or offline geocaches or anything for that matter?

Troubles & Questions / gps keeps losing satellites
June 26, 2012, 21:18:37
I've been using locus free for about 5 months with no problems, but for the last 2weeks to a month I've been running into problems with the gps satellites.
When i turn on my gps then go into locus and turn the gps on in the app it finds about 8 satellites and it zero's me in within 5 seconds usually. but when i start looking at the map and sometimes it follows me just fine for a few minutes but it stops. when i have the drop down menu showing me the gps info it says 6.0m | 8/8 with that being 6m Accuracy and 8 of 8 satellites tracking me. But then i hit the GREEN satellite button beside the menu and it shows "No satellites" even though my "My location" button still says my gps is on and 0|0 satellites. My gps is still enabled on the phone but i have to (in locus) hit the "My location" button to turn the gps off then hit it again to turn it back on and i'll get the satellites to zero in within 5 seconds again but only lasts for 30 seconds - a few minutes then shuts off again.
I'm not sure if it is a locus thing or something to do with my lg p500h phone but it makes geocaching a pain. my phone isn't moded or have a rom, its just the regular instal running android version 2.3.3 and kernel version 2.6.35.10. i don't know if you need any more info but i'll answer any questions i can because its really a pain in the behind. Thanks in advance!

Troubles & Questions / offline logging and trackables
June 19, 2012, 14:43:30
I love the app, i use it all the time. i do all my caching offline due to a small data plan/battery preservation. my question is when i save my logs offline i have to save them as field notes (later to be uploaded to gc.com site on wifi) but is there a way to keep track of trackables that visit the cache for mileage or trackables that i place or trackables i find in caches or do i just have to add it into my notes as i usually have it auto fill.
