It seems I found a configuration that works.

I changes OruxMaps Location permission from Allow only while using the app to Allow all the time and now the track is recorded even when the app is in the background or the display is off.

Other navigation apps do not require this option in order to record while in the BG.

I'm leaving this bug here for future reference.

ERRORES/BUGS / Track recording problem only for OruxMaps
December 17, 2023, 10:08:54 PM
I am using OruxMaps v7.4.26 on Xiaomi Redmi 12 (MIUI Global 14.0.12).

Track recording works fine when the display is on and the app is in the foreground but when the app goes to the background or the display is turned off tracking stops and when the app is brought back to the foreground a straight line from the last active point will be drawn.

In the phone's settings:
* I set Battery saver to No restriction.
* I also granted location permission (precise location).

In OrexMaps settings:
* I checked the FUZED LOCATIONS PROVIDER option.

I have other GPS apps on my device. All of them are able to record a track even when the app is in the background or the device display is turned off (without having to change any configuration besides the Battery saver restriction mode).
I compared their permissions and the only relevany difference I see is that they also have the Physical activity permission (e.g., MapMyRun).

Is there anything else I can do to enable track recording?

Best regards, Yonathan
