Location lost after a few seconds #70

Closed Isgar closed 8 years ago

Isgar commented 8 years ago

Reproduction steps:

start Osmand
see position provided by LocalGSMBackend
wait 10 seconds (sometimes instantly?)
location disappears until restarting Osmand

Catlog shows this every few seconds: V/NlpLocationBackendFuser( 5831): Ignoring location update as it's older than other provider.

Additional info:

Mozilla backend works fine, therefore I think this backend causes the problem
some apps rarely ever get the location
database update and reboot did not help
I don't remember when it started and what changed, but it was working a couple of months ago
using all newest versions from F-Droid

I also noticed bug, but didn't realized this is GSM backend bug :) Thank you for report & fix!! :+1:

Not sure if it could officially be classified a bug, a API not fully documented or a left over debug logging statement after the change that added times to the reports. But is was annoying.

Thank you for the quick fix, but it doesn't solve the actual problem. I still have the same issue with 1.4.2.

In contrast, it seems to have gotten worse. Now I don't even get the initial position anymore.

n76 commented 8 years ago

Getting initial position should be unrelated to the Ignoring location update as it's older than other provider message problem.

Perhaps you have the same issue as @tastytea reports: https://github.com/n76/Local-GSM-Backend/issues/71

If you install the version I put out for him, we could get some logging that will tell me more about why you are not getting even an initial position.

1.4.3 fixed it for me, thank you!
