Stop and pause on notification

Roland Gifford shared this question 2 years ago

The tracking notification sometimes has stop and pause buttons on it and sometimes it doesn't. I would like to have to option to always suppress them. Last week I accidentally deleted 16 hours tracking by accidentally tapping the stop button - either that or Locus lost the track on its own without my help.

I'm unfamiliar with expanded or non-expanded notifications. All I see is a stop button sometimes and sometimes not without knowing what I may have done to make that difference. It clearly isn't safe as this behaviour has resulted in the complete loss of a days tracking. If I want to stop tracking I only need to tap the notification to show Locus then stop/save.

I'm happy to believe that the deleted track was caused by accidental 'pocket taps' on my phone and not something else. I had turned on notifications on the lock screen which was a significantly bad choice on my part. I've turned that off now.

My Redmi Note 10 Pro running Android 12 and MIUI 13 doesn't have the option to expand notifications. The first one is expanded and the others aren't, hence the stop/pause sometimes being visible and sometimes not

Auto save goes part way towards addressing the problem but doesn't actually fix it. With auto save a single accidental tap will stop recording but won't lose the track so far.

Not having the buttons on the notification at all is the only solution which works properly rather than being a fudge to get round it.
