[APP] - version 4.26.+ ( 9/2024 )

[Andrew Heard]

you gain that from some kind of Java function?

@tapio - gee question from the Tasker guru ;-)
I use the built-in "Get Battery Info" function which has 22 (!) output variables including %bi_current_average (amps)

@Neoaliphant - yes - screen off, airplane mode, all other foreground apps "killed"
FWIW ~70mA for track recording; just started testing with audio coach & BT heart rate & BT earbud - appears to rise to ~100mA though more testing required

Oh thx, never used it, wasn't aware.

Will observe and meaaure as well. On my old phone, 4G connection was a battery killer. Airplane mode is not appropriate for me (need gsm/sms) but I may turn off internet connectivity.

On my Huawei, there's this stupid, not configurable, undocumented app called PowerGenie, which sends apps to sleep, not wanted at times. I have turned it off (adb), but there's a penalty: the Android reporting "which app uses how much battery" is turned off, so I'm blind on that eye.

Hello Menion,

 I have a problem with WMS Maps. Every time I clear temporary data, I can't use my WMS maps anymore.
If you have the time to solve this, maybe you can optimize the usage of WMS maps,too. It would be nice, that one could use at least two Wms maps at the same time as an overlay. There are so many very good Wms maps available (Open Data).
Maybe the space on the display for Wms maps could be reduced.

Kind regards

Jochen👍👍

3-line problem > sorry, yes, it is there and will be probably for some time. Simply unsolvable for now, till we change the UI a lot more ... 

Average speed text > needs to be fixed in translation here. Maybe @balloni55 please? The work "Bewegung" should not be there. Thanks

@Jochen
what exactly is the problem? When you clear the cache, maps need to be re-initialized before usage. But it should work ..

More maps > it is a complex task and currently really not planned

[Graf Geo]

@Menion: 3-line problem: In the new My library (Data manager) V2, it does not appear. Ok there.

done

Hello Menion,

I'm sorry, but if I reinitialize the WMS map nothing happens.
I have to delete the Wms map and add it again.
Many years it worked without any problems, but it occured a while ago for the first time. Unfortunately I don't know the exact beta version.

I understand, that it is complicated to display more than one Wms map.

Maybe it is possible to save a little space on the display for Wms maps or maybe a better solution than the left upper corner. I know this is easier said than done.

Kind regards

Jochen 👍👍👍

@Jochen
weird that re-initialize does not help  . Latest Locus Map 4 version?
Btw, why do you clear temporary data? The app clears some data automatically, so maybe it should be a little more aggressive.

[Jochen]

@Menion

I use the latest beta with a Gold account.
Sometimes I clear all the data, to get updated maps quicker. But if I'm the only user, who has this problem, maybe something went wrong in my configuration etc. .
As long as there is no fix, I'll wait for the automatic clearing of data. Thank you very much for your wonderful app 👍👍👍.

I recently had a problem with missing icons: I had points in my database that refer to an icon ZIP that I didn't use anymore. But the only way to notice that was when I was in the area and used the "Nearest point" function - then I got a toast message telling which ZIP file wasn't found, but not the offending POI.
It also didn't help scrolling through the point list looking for a "blank" icon - because it looks like in this case the missing icon gets replaced with the folder icon.

I solved this by turning on the logs and searching for the name of the missing ZIP file, and then in the vicinity I found the name of the offending point.

Is there an easier way? I think a "Check for missing icons" function would be useful. There might be other sensible checks, so perhaps "Database integrity check"?

Hello Menion,

After the last update there was a problem with the cache display in the Locus map. Whether I have the cache database loaded in the Android/data/menion.android.locus/files/Locus/data/geocaching directory or via the GeoGet4Locus plugin, I have to turn Locus off and on several times to get the cache icons to show up. Before the update, everything was running normály.

@slarti76
I was creating a method detecting invalid/missing icons a few years ago, but was never successful. So there is currently no tool for this, sorry.

@Pcmann
what do you mean by the "cache icons"? I'm not aware of any problem here, so if possible, describe me a steps to simulate this problem on my own device, thanks.

Ok, fair enough. But perhaps, as a small improvement, could you put the name of the offending point in the toast so at least the problem is easier to find?

[Pcmann]

I turn on Locus and a clean map without cache appears. I have to turn Locus off and on several times (about 3 times) to get the cache to appear in the Locus map. I use an offline map and have the cache database downloaded to Locus.
If Locus is running for some time in the background, lately very often a message about losing login credentials appears (screenshot of the error).
what do you mean by the "cache icons"? - cache (kešky).

[Menion]

@slarti76
and this is the biggest problem - detect which point misses its icon  . I'll have to look at it later because I currently really do not have a simple solution here.

@Pcmann
this is a big topic here. I still do not know why this happens, sorry. If you will have anything that may help, it will be more than welcome
