Hi Petr,

Thanks very much for your reply - I aprpeciate it.

Agreed about question 2 - seems I need a different lock screen than the stock one.

I can sort out the settings file but just to be sure we are talking from the same page.... When you tried what I suggested am I right in saying Locus woke the phone (turned on the screen) the top and bottom panels were not showing at all?

Thanks.

I have the 'Length Units' set to Imperial (ft/mil) feet and miles and this is working fine for the readouts onscreen as I want my distances whilst navigation to be in feet.

The problem I have is the voice is reading things out in 'yards'

Is the speech output always in yards no matter what please?

Thanks.

Just as a quick question....

I have Locus set to turn the screen on when a navigation instruction is received (as described above) but the other problem I'm having is if an instruction is over 15 minutes then my screen then needs a pin number which is obviously dangerous to do whilst driving.

I know there is a disable lock screen checkbox and I have tried that but am unsure exactly what it does even though I have read in the manual that: Disable lock screen – The screen lock automatically unlocks when application becomes active again after a period of inactivity.

No matter what I try, if a navigation instruction isnt received within 15 minutes I need to enter my phone unlock password.

Is there any way around this please?

Hi Menion (and all)

Great updates to Locus by the way! :-)

Just something that is annoying to me, its not a bug but it is very annoying because my phone is a Wildfire S and only has a 3" screen.

When navigating I have the settings so that the screen sleep until it gets to a navigation instruction which causes it to wake.  So far, that works fine - except when it wakes it displays all the sidebars and panels which means I can hardly see the turn on the map. 

Now, I have sidebars and panels set to appear for 15 seconds as that means I can use them before navigation, but I obviously dont use them whilst driving and during navigation and so it is annoying that they appear when the screen wakes for a navigation instruction as I really cant see much when they appear and the phone is in landscape.

Just wondering if there was any way to stop them appearing on wakeup unless the user manual wants to see them by touching the screen as per usual.

Thanks. :-)

Oh, sorry - my confusion.
The release date on Play store for the latest version was yesterday and so I presumed it was a new one after the bug fixes.

Its not letting me update as I obviously have the latest version.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and I look forward to the next version with the address search fixes.

Thanks!

Exactly what I said gynta.

Google Play wont let me update to the latest Pro version from yesterday.

There is a new version yesterday of Locus Pro on the Google Play store... Google Play wont let me update to this new version for some bizarre reason.

Simples. ;-)

Disappointing :-(

Excellent!  Cant wait for the Pro release.
Thanks again!:-)

UPDATE:
Problem: Google Play wont let me update to the latest Pro version from yesterday :-(

Good work menion!
The address search now works - but the long hold lookup still doesn't.

You've fixed the thing I was most interested in though and so I thank you very much,  I can now get rid of that awful osmand app.

Thanks again!

Here you go Menion.
Thanks.

Thanks menion.

I've installed the latest test version and it does the exact same thing.  Cannot search, cannot hold down for an address and every log generated is empty.  :-(

To just check things work ok and its not a fault with the tablet I have installed ozmand and that works fine for searching for an address.  I'm having to use ozmand to search for an address then share that address with Locus Pro;. :-(

CatLog only needs root for Jellybean... I'm on Ice Cream Sandwich  :-)

i'm installing it now.:-)

What do you need from it menion?

Thanks.

UPDATE:- heres a CatLog.  Opened Locus Pro, long pressed address (didn't work) then did a search for a street (didn't work), closed Locus Pro, uploaded CatLog

Version 2.11.1 currently the latest on the android Play store.

Thanks Menion.

No luck.  :-(  The new log file is still completely empty.  I've checked and the '1' is enabled ok.

:-(

Thanks menion.

My device isn't rooted.

LogCat works on non-rooted devices though doesn't it?

Anyway, I've enabled the record_debug...will start Locus, do a search, close Locus and attach a log on here.

Cheers menion

UPDATE:
There is a new log in the folder... but its blank. (?)

Thanks gynta and jusc - but restarting the tablet does not help  :-(
