I never get questions on visits that are not extremely long #51

Based on Readme

It then selects the closest of these and presents you a suggestion that you might be at that location via an android notification.

I expect that it is enough to keep app in background and wait for a notification. Is my guess correct?

I disabled batter saver in my Xiaomi Redmi 4.

Debug menu allowed me to confirm that it at least sometimes makes Overpass querries.

From https://github.com/Teester/Whats-Nearby/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/teester/whatsnearby/data/questions/CreditCard.java and https://github.com/Teester/Whats-Nearby/blob/3d49e1b43a52bf32caef15be94834b09ec828edb/app/src/main/java/com/teester/whatsnearby/data/pois/ShopBakery.java I expect to get credit card question for a bakery. I will try to get debug data with shop itself.

What version of Android are you running. I'm uncertain how well the app works on Android 8 and up due to limitations in how background apps can access location and I don't have a suitable device to test on.

I tested it during shopping.

At start it was showing "not far enough from location of last query".

Later as I was walking and during shopping I was getting "Too far from last location: 33m" (sometimes with other distance) and "Not enough detection in a row".

It seems that my visit was too short to be detectable by this app.

How often location is checked? Debug menu suggests resolution of 1 minute what would be way too low to detect shop visit - that in my experience may be long, but in uncrowded shop it may be just a minute or two.

And I found second problem - at least my phone gives jumps in location of 34 meters while standing still.

It resets location detection, what makes problem previously mentioned even worse.

BTW, I just get the first notification question.

You're all doing better than me; I've never been asked any questions regardless of how long I'm at the same place (some very briefly, some over an hour). This has held true over many months.

Though, perhaps that's because my SM-A405FN came with Android v9 and I've since upgraded to v10.
