Track Recording does not pause

Lawrence Sheddan shared this problem ago

Closed

I've been having this issue for the past 6 months, where I will press 'pause' on the track recording screen, and I will get feedback saying the recording has been paused. I will also see in the notification panel that the recording has paused, but when I re-open the app to resume recording, say the next day, it will resume track recording and will have been recording the entire night.

e.g.

open app at 7hrs 22mins and pause

wake up the next morning 12 hours later, notification will still say paused at 7hrs 22mins

opening Locus Maps causes it to initialise, and then the track recording will display 19 hrs 22mins, making it appear it was never paused

This is a very frustrating issue for a service which I pay for. I have disabled the 'Restart on initialisation feature' and I also never open the app inbetween pausing and recording out of fear the feature is still on. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Hi Lawrence, are you sure the "self-unpaused" track record contains any data? Could you please send such a recording for a test? Thanks.

Hi Michal, thanks for the reply. I can see that there aren't any GPS recordings in the time that it was paused. File is attached

Hi Lawrence,

- when you open the app within 10 minutes after the track record pause, the track recording un-pauses automatically

- when you do so later, the app just indicates there is an unfinished track recording and offers un-pausing or stopping the recording - does this happen to you too?

- your track does not contain location data after the pause, the time, however, somehow goes on running like there hadn't been any pause. We are trying to simulate this issue but so far, to no avail. Looking forward to more clues...

This seems like an odd feature, is there a way to turn this off? It should be synonymous with the auto-start track recording.

I've never seen any such pop-up

When I get home I will submit a screenshot of the corresponding recording in-app. Maybe it can provide a clue

Hi, as we didn't receive any more clues regarding this issue and we are unable to simulate it I'm closing this topic.

Hi Michal,

This bug has still not been resolved as of two weeks ago.

I've attached a csv file with GPS points. You can see at cell E926 the time at which I realised the app had "unpaused" and was displaying a track time of 14 hours. I opened the app, and re-paused it. The next cell (E927) shows when it was actually myself resuming recording, instead of this bug.

Here is a screenshot of the corresponding csv (messed_up_timing.csv)

Please let me know if I can provide any other information

Hi Lawrence,

I'm sorry but we are unable to simulate your problem. Without simulating an issue we can't fix it. So, as a workaround, I recommend stopping the recording after your day trip is done and starting a new one the next day. Then you can merge the recorded tracks into one (see https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:management#folder_bottom_panel - the "tools" part).

Hi Michal. That seems like a reasonable work around.

I will give this solution a go and then come back with how I found it in case anyone else has this issue in future
