Locus 4.28.2 - track recording does not work

In Progress

I installed the latest version of Locus (4.28.2) on the phone, which was previously restored to factory settings. The problem is that track recording does not work. The app shows an orange gps icon and a green position circle, even though the position and speed are indicated with great accuracy. I attach a screen showing that the app gives the current speed (correctly), visibility of 22 satellites, but the icon remains orange. Interestingly, despite the speed given, the maximum speed remains 0, the distance does not increase either. During the trip the position indicator (green circle) moves on the map, showing the correct location.

After installing the December version of Locus, the problem disappears. The phone is a Galaxy A6, Android 10, and I tested it on an unlocked phone and an enabled screen. In the Android localization options, I checked “provide access always.”
On the other phone (Galaxy S21, Android 14) there is no such problem.

Best

Hi,

please get Locus Map permission for all-time access to the location and exclude Locus from all means of battery optimization so that the app can run in the background, see http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:faq:gps_lost_fix_android6. Also, try switching Google Services assisted location off in Locus settings - GPS&sensors.
