Idea for battery saving #52

Closed tananaev closed 6 years ago

tananaev commented 7 years ago

Run low accuracy location updates, so update is not called every second. Then in callback request high accuracy location.

Suggested by Apple engineer.

Implemented location accuracy option for now instead.

Hi, thanks for making such a useful GPS tracking service!

Traccar Client works great, except for the immense battery usage even at slow intervals on iOS. I was curious as to when you'll be able to push this change to the App Store?

Thanks ahead.

tananaev commented 6 years ago

Probably in a couple of weeks time.

LNFWebsite commented 6 years ago

Okay, thanks for the quick response!

LNFWebsite commented 6 years ago

Any update as to the battery drain issue?

tananaev commented 6 years ago

The app has been released. What kind of updates are you looking for?

LNFWebsite commented 6 years ago

I'm sorry, I hadn't noticed that you updated the app...

I'll try it out again and let you know whether the battery drain is any better.

tananaev commented 6 years ago

Make sure you select medium or low accuracy.

LNFWebsite commented 6 years ago

Yes, the battery drain is much less! Thank you very much!
