Issues with Android Oreo and NOKIA devices (solved with Workaround)

[alli.galli]

Hello,



I have a Nokia N6 with Android 8.1, oruxMap 7.2.14. The issue is: "Oruxmap Stop/Crasch suddenly w/o reasons"

I have posted the same issue in the following topic:"Issues with Android Oreo and/or Huawei devices".

After some searching in Web I discovered the issue is related to NOKIA smantphnone (Nokia 6,7,8...) with Oreo.

This is the resaon because I'm opening a new topic.



I have followed the setting tips as below, but the issue still remain:

--oruxmaps battery optimisation =OFF  (android setting)

- oruxmaps can runing in background w/o any constains (android setting)

--FUSED LOCATIONS PROVIDER (clicked)

The issue is related to any application running in background (not only Orux) in Nokia Smartphone with Android Oreo.

It seems it is not working the Android "white list" that allow some app to run in backgroubnd w/o be auto-killed by Andorid.



Workaround (still under test due to the increase of battery consumption) is to Install "wake lock" app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl">https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... edarken.wl">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl

While running Orux, Strava, or other app requiring to run in Background, also run this app along, by setting it to PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK

Let me know if that works for you, also



p.s: Congratulation to Oruxmaps Developers. It is a great app. Outstanding. Not really friendly but extremly powerful with high degree of customization and stability !
