Problems with Android 4.4.2 and Loucs??

Marcus Bosch shared this question 9 years ago

Hello,


I have 2 questions:


1) I intend to buy a new smartphone which uses Android 4.4.2.


But I read that there should be many problems with Locus and Android 4.4 when

using external SD card – what I do.


You can look here: http://www.locusmap.eu/locus-run-since-update-device-android-4-4-2-kitkat/


But I am not sure, if I understood correct.


Are the problems there only when updating the Android to 4.4.2 (this means: Locus was already installed and then updating Android to 4.4.2).


Or does it make basically problems when using Locus with external SD card and Android 4.4.2?


I intend to buy a new Smartphone which already has Android 4.4.2. When I install Locus new on it, will there be any problems?


2) I also use Locus Map Tweak to download extra tiles of aerial photography. Can I use Locus Map Tweak too with Android 4.4.2?


I ask because I read, that it should not be possible in Android 4.4. to make one folder on the external sd card accessable to two different Locus applications (Locus Pro/ Locus Map Tweak)?


I hope you can help me with these questions.


I like Locus very much and try to avoid problems when buying new Smartphone.


Kind Regards.

Hello Markus.


Thank you for your questions.


1. Android version 4.4.2 has a problem with writting data on external SD card. there is not possible to use SD card in case of update to version 4.4.2 and also if you purchase device with 4.4.2 Android. The result is always same.

Solution you find on this blog post http://www.locusmap.eu/locus-run-since-update-device-android-4-4-2-kitkat


2. Unfortunately, we don't support addon Locus Map Tweak. Please contact directly developer of this addon for your question.

We only know, that the developer stopped to develope this addon and can be problem with installing to your new device.
