Altitude Problem (Galaxy Ace)
Solved
Hi,
I have some problem with altitude logging on my Galaxy Ace. If I`m recording a gps track the altitude is completely wrong. Sometimes it jumps to an high altitude but most time it stays around 0m.

The first time I had this problem I thought it was a conflict between Endomondo and Locus running at the same time. But this time I only had Locus running.
greeting Christian
The same problem 
hi Christian,
are you using any "Settings > GPS > altitude filter" (probably yes) but also "Settings > sensors > enable pressure sensor"?

altitude filter is "low" and pressure sensor can`t be enabled because Ace doesn`t have one

ah sorry, I though also mainly "Settings >GPS > Altitude correction". This should have main effect. Also in Endomondo no problems right?

Altitude correction is set to NMEA
logging only with Endomondo doesn`t show any problems. Altitude is logged correctly

fine then it will be for sure problem with this type of correction!
Quite long discussion is here https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/top... anyway result is that NMEA is not best solution on few phones and may cause troubles. Problem in Locus is that it do not notify about this and instead record incorrect values. Anyway I really suggest to use "Automatic correction", which will have similar precision but will work without issues! Try it please and let me know

I tried it with Automatic correction and it worked fine. Thanks

I now put some more checks when applied NMEA filtering so your troubles should not happen again even with NMEA support. Anyway I really suggest to use method I suggested (there is also possibility that NMEA corrections will be removed in future)
