Power saving kills the GPS position
Answered
Hello!
Is there a way to prevent the power saving from killing the GPS fix?
In my last hike, a few days ago, I've notice that when I'm using power saving on my Pixel 5a (android 13), Locus fail to show my current position after a while. I get a gps fix, I put the phone in my pocket, but when I'm looking to see where I am, after a while, my position doesen't move, even though it says that I have good accuracy (but zero sattelites). I guess it has something to do with the last update of the OS, because in the past I always had my phone on power saving and everything was good. I tried all things, as you can see in the printscreen. Am I missing something? Thank you!

Hello!
But shouldn't these settings (see the printscreens) prevent Locus from losing the sattelites? It's the same for him with those two activated?

Hello,
yes, they should... but it is a setting for the app, not the GPS sensor... and unfortunately these settings vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. And some of them are quite aggressive with killing apps and services.
