Random initialization
Not a Problem
Dear Lady, Sir,
I've used Locus for years. But now crazy things happen that are not reasonable reproducable.
When starting Locus I sometimes get an crazy screen. In the area of the map no switch works. The task area, e.g. search buttom, works fine. I have a typical screen attached.
The app can be closed normally with the system buttom. Doing so and removing the app completely out of memory the app can be started normal,... almost.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S25 with Android 16.
So far the problem. Right now I found a workaround. I have ust the option to use Locus as a service (options - miscellaneous - 1st item). As an attemot I turned it off. Nor it seems to work fine.
Have a good evening, Wolfgang

The same problem 
Hi Wolfgang,
I'm not sure if I understand correctly - does the app run OK now after you switched the "Run as service" option?
In any case, please install the latest app beta version from our repo at https://bit.ly/lmVersionsTest and test whether everything is OK. Thanks.

Hi Michal,
the overall problem here is the bad reproductivity. But yes, it is the "Run as a service" option. See the screenshot, here turned off in the sense of yesterday's solution.
Now I played around switching on and off and have no problem with both settings. Last time, when I had the problem, I reinstalled the Locus map. Hereafter Locus worked a while. The switch in the options was always on. This was a couple of weeks ago.
In the overall system setting I set a restart of the phone once a week. Doing so, the phone's memory should be cleaned up completely.
Finally, I am preparing a journey. Therefore, I don't have the ressources to test your beta version. The problems in reproduction of the error are no motivation doing so.
Thus, I suggest to close the topic. I will come back after reproduction is possible or you have another idea.
Best wishes, Wolfgang
