Higher memory usage (possible memory leak)?

[Andrew Heard]

No obvious memory leak in 4.23.0 here.

• Initial memory 153 MB
• 15m later 154 MB
• 7h later 211 MB (after tracking recording)

@Andrew Heard
what map and theme do you use?
which zoom range?
with map rotation?

[michaelbechtold]

- map shading?
- dynamic elevation?

Track recording causes no problems. My test setup used an active navigation with many recalculations (maybe 30+ during a 45 min ride). So I believe it will be connected. Anyway, I promise I'll look at it during the next weeks ...

• 2021-11-28 OpenAndroMaps Australia-Tasmania
• 200m (on ruler) (whatever ZL that is I don't generally view)
• map rotation:on
• track recording:on
• navigation:off
• map shading:off
• dynamic elevation:off
• display is normally off (99.99% of recording time)

Wrong topic I know, sorry, but charts below (time vs. battery current milliamps each 2 minutes) comparing Locus with just track recording vs. Locus with navigation and track recording. Just thought it was interesting & confirms for battery misers when riding all day why avoiding navigation mode could wring out the life of the battery before it goes flat. Ignore the -250mA spike on the 1st chart - was when camera used, not just Locus running. I have found/ discovered recently that measuring/ logging current with Tasker rather than %level is a better indication of energy usage. At 10:45 in 2nd chart, navigation stopped and was then just track recording.

@menion- I note in v4.23.1 release notes "reduced app refresh in the background when not active" - charts below are for 4.23.0 so would be interesting now to see whether this affects the battery current. Did you make this change to save battery energy?

New Beta just published and the issue that caused memory problems on my own device should be fixed now!

Give it a try please, thanksů
