[fixed] GPS tracking stops working locking the phone

Post by captus »

Hello,
I have an LG Dual (2x) with custom ROM based on Android 2.3.5.
All fine except when the lock screen (after a timeout or manually triggered) stops the GPS (also during GPS tracking with the Alpine service correctly on).
Unlocking the device, the GPS is stuck and the only possibility to restore the correct behavior is to stop and to restart the GPS.

This is not happen using other programs like “My Track” so that I don’t think it is related to OS bug.

Of course it could be a problem of my ROM. Anyway I would like to notify in case other people will experience the same issue.

Hi,
Sorry for my late answer, I just skiped this post.
This problem is quite unusual, I'm not sure I find something to do in AlpineQuest.
When the screen is locked, turned off, or if the app is sent to background, the Gps is deactivated to save the battery, but this is not the case for the Gps Tracker service.
I will have a closer look at the tracker service and search on Internet for something.
I'll let you know,
Best regards
