Hi,
I wanted to change a no longer existing Dropbox path to export tracks.
I had to reorganize Dropbox.




Locus pro 3.31.3

Auto backup in the beta from today did not work :-)

Just now the auto backup finished but 3 hours too late.

Auto backup in the beta from today did not work :-)

Thanks for a log, I think it helped. Because BETA versions work almost similar as Locus Map Pro, it also call "refresh" on widgets. And this call seems to wake up Locus Map Pro on your device, because you have widget for track recording added to desktop. If you remove it, it should help anyway it should not happen once Beta change into regular Free version.

Thank you, but I do not have a Locus widget on my screen.

2. not sure what happen here. You say that when you start a Beta version, Pro version starts immediately as well?

Yes, but only ~25 MB big instead of ~100 MB. this happens every time I start free/beta.




Edit: I attached a catlog.

Mi menion,
before the release I should write two problems on my smartphone:

1. since ~4-5 days the free beta does no longer make auto backups, neither in the cloud to dropbox nor in the backup\auto folder. The date of the next auto backup is always updated.
I tried to get a auto backup many times.

2. If I start Locus pro I see in my task manager the pro icon (~100 MB). It disappears shortly after closing pro.
If I start free beta then ofc the free icon appears (with ~100 MB) *and* the pro icon (~25 MB).
After closing the beta this pro icon (=task) does never disappear, I can kill this unwanted task during the running beta without any problem (and later also).
I cannot believe that this is intended.


I stumbled over this behavior because in this week my phone shut down two times because of empty battery during recording a track with the beta.
My battery is good, after 6-7 hours of track recording it has ~ 60 %.

Edit: I did a new installation of Locus free but this behavior remains.

amazing, thanks. Is it possible that you did not change top/function panels for maybe "few years"?

Yes, perhaps ~2 years

What about restoring an older backup, does it work for you?

What I did:
1. Upgrading the pro (free was ok): panels lost
2. restoring a settings backup from 3.30: no success
3. restoring 3.30.0 (app + settings) with titanium backup: panels ok
4. saving these settings again
5. upgrade to 3.30.1: panels lost
6. restoring these settingsfrom 3.30.0 again: no panels

Finally I added the upper and right panel manually again.


I have attached these two settings.

But the wohile side and top panels are empty.

Yes, here too, but only in the pro version, free version is ok.
I tried to restore the settings (in pro) from yesterday without success.
So I had to configure both panels again.

Mit dem letzten Beta-Update auf 3.27.1.5 hat endlich wieder mal das erste automatische Backup von alleine funktioniert (ich habe noch nicht das "Upload backup to cloud" aktiviert, ich warte, bis auch die Pro das bekommt).

Ein kleiner Bug: wenn ich hier das Zielverzeichnis ausgewählt und gespeichert habe und deaktiviere wieder das upload to cloud, dann steht danach als Ziel wieder "ungültiger Wert" drin.

könnte das einer beim Helpdesk melden, mein Englisch ist nicht so gut.

Das wäre doch eine Aufgabe für dem Mod balloni55 :-)

Ich habe diese Fehler und auch mindestens einen anderen (Verzeichnisse von \maps und \backup usw. können nicht geändert werden) vor langer langer Zeit gemeldet, aber sie wurden nicht beachtet.

bei mir geht es ab und zu und dann mal wieder nicht. Letzte Woche ging es auch nicht. Vielleicht ab und zu Fehlerhaft durch neue Version ?

Dieses Fehlverhalten gibt es schon ziemlich lang: nach jeder neuen Locus-Version muss ich (wie balloni55) schon geschrieben hat)  in den Einstellungen vom Backup Manager unter Bearbeiten einmal Wiederholung de- und neu aktivieren und dann Übernehmen anklicken.

Da wir schon bei den automatischen Updates sind: bei jeder Zeitumstellung wird die Zeit der nächsten Sicherung nicht mitkorrigiert.

Hi menion,
since the last 2-3 versions the notify icon for automatic backup disappears after ~5 seconds (free and pro).
Is this intended?
Before this the icon remains visible until I clear it.

This happens on two smartphones (5.1.1 and 4.2).

@tramp20: heh, interesting. May you please try to clear a cache (and maybe also a data) of Google Play application in your device? Because there information comes from this app and Locus do not cache them, so they are always fresh.

I deleted cache and data of Google Play Store (if I understood you correct) and I see the same odd €-values as before.


But I found the culprit now: LuckyPatcher.

Hi,
on my Sony Z1c LP 5.1.1 I see these odd values (Locus pro and free 3.16.2) and they change with every new start of this page :-(




On my old Bluestacks installation (4.1.x?) and my old phone (4.0.4) the values are correct.
