Locus and Ant+ cadence sensor problem

Facts:


I'm using Locus Pro for MTB navigation. Great (best?) app.

I'm using Sportstracklive for tracking my fitness activity. Sigma Ant+ chest HRM and Sigma Ant+ cadence sensor. Both working flawlessly.


Problem:


I've tried using simultaneously the ANT+ sensors in both apps, but there were some problems: it seems like ant+ sensors can't be used by two apps in the same time (even if theoretically should be possible). Ok, no problem, I'm disabling ALL the Ant+ management in Locus Pro (and I mean "I'VE DISABLED ALL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LOCUS PRO AND ANT+ WORLD !") but if I'm using in the same time Sportstracklive and Locus Pro, cadence sensor doesn't work in neither app.

If I'm starting only Sportstracklive, cadence sensor works normally.

If I'm starting only Locus Pro, cadence sensor doesn't work.


Question: WTF ?

Good day Florian,


I'm checking libraries (provided by http://www.thisisant.com web site) that are used in Locus Map and all seems to be in latest version. Hard to say where exactly may be a problem. I'm no ANT+ expert and implementation in Locus Map is based on sample application provided by developers of used libraries.


Anyway I've at home older ANT+ HR monitor, so I've installed mentioned Sportstracklive app and after fight with it's setup I was able to connect to HRM. Then I tried it also in Locus Map and now both apps use same HRM at once without any problem.


Probably most easy method how to check if there is any serious problem on background is to create a log right after Locus Map tries at least once error message about some connection problem ( btw. what you see in Locus Map when connection fails? ). How to do it is here. Thank you and sorry for a complications.
