Have noticed in latest beta if I try to tap eye/ visibility of a point down near the end of a list, the wrong or no point is toggled, and the list is scrolled to another position. I hope that makes sense?

[@Andrew Heard]

Hello, I've published 3.39.4.2 version with many less or more smaller fixes.

Mentioned two problems anyway most probably still be there.

@Andrew Heard or @balloni55 , does anyone of you have a backup of settings with these incorrectly defined styles for old profiles? Thanks

@john_percy
it should be repeatable on my phone, I'll try it, thanks

thanks balonni & menion, am currently cycle touring, so not as nicely formatted reply from me. I confirm Wolfgang's suggestion/ observation re missing track style. Menion do you want settings ZIP for pro or beta, or no longer required?

The dashboard text is now visually identical with pro & beta thanks.

An update to my last post- any track being recorded is not displayed, whether or not navigation is enabled.

Understood @menion. It's a beta. No worries. Also notice that navigation voice is 2x faster than in Pro, and during navigation any track being recorded is not displayed. Pro is fine.

In the latest beta the first line of each of my dashboards is displayed over the top of the top panel buttons. In pro the first line is displayed below the top panel. I don't know whether to add a blank line to each dashboard. Is this an intended change?

@Andrew Heard Is it possible that you have been running some kind of simulation or using some kind of "fake" GPS provider?
Also if the GPS was disabled, it is possible that Locus tried to use your position based on Network provider e.i. your IP address and/or WLANs in your surrounding. If you use some kind of VPN or network proxy it could theoretically mess with your network location.
If you communicated with the server, it got some kind of position from your phone anyway. We have never supported any kind of "spectator" mode on the Android client, which seems to be what you are missing and what you attempted to do.

@milan.cejnar - thanks for checking - I was using "NoRoot Firewall" to block unwanted mobile data - just limit to Google & Locus - which I believe uses a VPN. GPS was disabled. Position is only based on GPS. I'm not suggesting a "spectator" mode. I didn't attempt to "live track" my position - it was only after friend noted I had moved across the world I discovered the strange "issue" myself.

Is this another bug, or a feature: I live in Australia, so how come my private live tracking position is shown in Paris - https://live-tracking.locusmap.app/online-trackers/?uid=IK2V-B6UG? Yes, I was looking at that location in Locus, but the GPS position was not set/ enabled.

In the meantime you could create a new group or set the group session timeout to some of the available limited values

@milan.cejnar - I tried this but still the two positions remain ;-(

I ran Locus Free, I changed the group session timeout to a small value, ensured that a live tracking fix was displayed, then exited Locus Free. I then ran Locus Pro, ensured I had the group session set to never timeout , ensured that a live tracking fix was displayed, then exited Locus Pro. But I still find the two positions.

The unlimited time allows non-Locus friends to see my last position at their convenience, which may be days later. It is often just for their interest, and no accuracy or immediacy is important to them. But having a 2nd zombi position is going to be really confusing.

PS. I next removed the group AJH, then re-added the group. This worked! Only a few friends had the old URL/ access code.

I have deleted both positions from the DB, they should disappear from the system within an hour.
Actually to remove your position, it should be possible to just remove the group from the active groups of the profile while the LT is running (no need to delete the group completely).

@milan.cejnar - both positions are still visible at least 6+ hours after your post.

The date should be formatted according to your system's locale

no, this is the only website where I see this US-style date format. My Windows 10 region settings are as attached - d/MM/yyyy.

technically two separate clients due to some implementation details even when running on the same phone and with the same account

@milan.cejnar - maybe technically but to me not logically

I removed myself from AJH group in Locus Map beta, but then it's also gone from Locus Map pro ;-(
they must share the same settings
so I added myself back into LM pro but the two positions are still on the map
one is dated 18/7/2019 (using LM beta)
one is today 25/7/2019 (using LM pro)
Can you please delete the position dated 18/7/2019 (or even both) and I will try not to use LM beta with live tracking in future.

What is the procedure for moving from one phone to another & retaining the same private group name?

BTW I wish the date wasn't displayed as 7/25/2019 although we've had this discussion before.

Thanks for any help.

The notification writes green and red results of LT but when the phone is offline there is no red add to count as I expect, there is no news from the notification seems frozen.

@lor74cas - is this the same behavior as I wrote in separate post - https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=6544.new#new - for which BTW I received ZERO comments. I guess it was a long post, but my point #1 I suggest is a bug - the LT icon should not be green when there is no mobile data available. It should behave the same as the GPS icon/ button - green/ orange/ disabled.

As for seeing your position multiple times, are you really using the same Locus account and the same Android device? Has the device been factory reset or rooted in the meantime? Or was the subscription really the only thing that has changed? If that is the case I would like to know (by a private email or PM) the name of the group and your email address that is linked with your Locus account if possible, thank you.

thanks @milan.cejnar - 1) same Locus account 2) same Android device 3) unrooted, no factory reset 4) yes - used LT as free trial ~2 months ago then canceled, then paid for subscription last week 5) name of group as in screen cap - "AJH" 6) will PM email address.

I've just found another bug: I enabled premium live tracking (free trial) a few months ago as a test - works well - then I disabled. Now I have subscribed, but I find my final position from 3 months ago remains instead of being replaced by new position. The web page thinks these are two different people - see attached map.

3.38.7.1 & 3.38.7.3 at Locus startup: track record bottom panel + cancel button displayed for < 1 second, no progress bar, no chance to cancel track recording

any existing track > Edit Info > crash > (Locus has stopped - Open app again)
Edit Info in 3.38.7 Pro is fine.

I also note (probably not beta related) when you go Store > profile > buy LoCoin, that the balance is not updated at the top of the profile panel until you Back > Back > Back... etc then reenter Store > profile.

Spartaner - it seems even worse in 3.38.7.1 (beta) - cancel panel not displayed at all. I don't see any problem in 3.38.7 (Pro). I'm sure @menion will fix this bug.

PS. bug still in 3.38.7.3 (beta).
