Random freezes of tracking #139

Closed ANDREW007CZ closed 10 months ago

I'm on Android 13, Sony Xperia 5 III. AAT v 1.24

Randomly the tracking in background freezes. After opening app it looks like time goes on but length, altitude, speed and any other stuff get stuck.

I believe it is due to short outtage of GPS system and AAT does not send some new request to re-enable GPS system to work. I don't really understand how it works this is just wild guess.

I've encountered this problem twice in all 6 recordings I've recently did.

Possible cause 1: Accuracy filter is set. You can disable accuracy filter in Preferences -> Activity X Possible cause 2: There is a security feature in newer Android versions to prevent apps track your date without informing you. See issue #120

Technically there is no need to re-enable GPS when the signal is lost.

Does tracking continue after a while once AAT is in foreground again? Is the GPS icon in the Android status bar visible when this happens? What is the GPS Status display of AAT (... or on or off) ?
