I had similar problems on the Galaxy S. I updated to Froyo on the phone and to
MyTracks Ver 1.1.2 Pre updates functionality was so bad I could not use the
program. With these updates functionality is now vastly improved.
Still seems to be bugs in that: you go to stop recording - the program is
responding OK and you can stop the recording process - all seems normal.
However on examination it has only recorded the first part of the route
complete with finalised statistics, etc. It's as if the program was just
stopped manually sometime previous without you telling the program to stop..

This log looks fine. Are you still seeing crashes? If so please include the
full log.

I still have trouble with a Galaxy S using Froyo and MyTracks 1.1.4 As
mentioned above: you stop the recording process - however you find the last
section of the route has not been recorded. It's like it's been stopped
automatically sometime earlier. I can't prove it but it appears that the GPS
lock and battery were OK when the route was terminated early. I would love to
offer a log file but there is no way to know when this occurs.
How does the minimum accuracy setting work? If the accuracy is poor, does
recording stop or does it just pause. Does it restart if the location accuracy
improves? How does the user know the current status?
If the program stops recording for some reason - could this be mentioned in the
end marker or a message put on screen to the user till OK'ed. Eg "Recording
stopped: by user", "Recording stopped: position accuracy unacceptable",
"Recording stopped: battery almost empty" plus any other reasons the recording
might be terminated.
I also notice if I try to record a track by walking around inside a building,
where the GPS accuracy is hopeless but an acceptable wifi/tower position is
detected and then stop the recording, the program will save a file for that
track but it will contain no points. I can walk outside the building and still
have an empty file as the GPS is yet to acquire a lock.
I assume the program thinks it can record a track (positional accuracy is OK)
but fails too detect any positional change. In this case the user should be
told the file is empty and that no positional change has been detected.
To complicate the issue further, I found on one occasion the GPS was not
finding any satellites as demonstrated by running the Android app "GPS test".
Rebooting the phone resolved this immediately. Is it possible for MyTracks to
detect a crashed GPS driver??
I know this is all a bit vague but I'm trying to narrow it down. A bit more
feedback to the user on whether the program is recording or paused and why
would be helpful.

Please reopen the bug if it is still happening in My Tracks 2.0.
If My Tracks is not recording, the My Tracks icon on the notification bar
should disappear. Do you see the My Tracks notification bar icon when you
suspect it has stopped recording?
min accuracy just ignores locations that do not meet its requirement.
My Tracks doesn't record wifi signal, only gps signal.
