Can't start workout #1154

Closed dkbarn closed 1 year ago

dkbarn commented 1 year ago

I have a Google Pixel 5 with Android 13.

How are you supposed to begin a new activity? All I see is a "Start GPS" button but this always takes me into the app setting to enable background battery usage, which is already enabled. Also all necessary permissions have already been granted. But I cannot bypass this prompt. Am I just not understanding the UI? Is there another way to begin an activity?

Note that I don't actually care about GPS, the only audio cues I have enabled are my current heart rate, I don't need anything that requires location data.

I've figured it out. I had to go into Permissions > Location, and ensure that it was set to be enabled all the time.

GPS is the trigger to get dat. Without "always" the collection will be stopped by Android, so the slightly annoying check was added after a number of issues was raised (just information in the popup was not enough).
