Hi



With the Android-Settings for Oruxmaps "Keep app running in background" and "Ignore battery optomisation" and choosing "FUSED LOCATION PROVIDER" in Orux, track recording stopped still after a few minutes. Then I put the widget on one of my screens as olwaldi wrote on Mon Jul 02, 2018 7:39 am. Thereafter also with my device (Honor 9, Android 8.0.0, Oruxmaps v.7.2.14)  track recording worked in my one-hour test perfectly.



Thanks to olwaldi for the tip and to Orux for the great app



Regards, Fritz

Hello



Under https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-background-location-whitelist/">https://www.xda-developers.com/android- ... whitelist/">https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-background-location-whitelist/  I found the following statement:



"The best thing an average user can do to keep their favorite apps that require constant GPS location up and running is to contact the developer and kindly ask them to abide by Android Oreo's new requirements."



My questions to Orux are therefore:

1. Do you intend to adapt Oruxmaps to Oreo's new requirements?

2. How long woud it probably take you?

3. Would this probably solve my problem posted June 27, 2018?



Thanks and kind regards from Switzerland

I have almost the same problem that olwaldi reported on June 16, 2018:

«GPS logging always stops after 30minutes of logging. To be more precise, I press the power button to switch off the screen. When I switch it on after a longer timespan, orux is no longer running, and GPS logging is off»

The only difference being that logging stops after ca. 7 minutes



Phone: Honor 9

Android: 8.0.0 (Upgraded June 26, 2018)

Oruxmaps v.7.2.14 Donate (installed June 26, 2018 from Play Store)

Android-Settings for Oruxmaps:

•   Keep app running in background

•   Ignore battery optomisation

Location Mode: Use GPS, WiFi and mobile networks

(I have not been able to activate FUSED LOCATION PROVIDER as I could not find this setting using the search function for android settings)



I would be very greatful for a solution as I have used Oruxmaps for several years and like it very much.



Regards Fritz
