ERRORES/BUGS / SOS via SMS is Grey Out
April 24, 2021, 11:18:47 PM
Hi,

For some reason I cannot enable SOS via SMS  Both options to set Numbers and test are greyed out.

I have OruxMaps 8.1.7 GP and an Android 11 Phone It is a dual sim with two cards.
I confirmed that all permisions requested by Orux Maps are granted to the App. But none is related to SMS messages.

I'm also logged in to an OruxMaps Account. Not sure if that would be a reason for it not to work.

Is there something missing in order to enable SOS via SMS?

Thank you.

ERRORES/BUGS / Not getting HR with Wear Device
September 05, 2020, 08:21:43 PM
Hi,
I have a Watch with WearOS were I installed OruxMaps (Mi Watch).
Tried today and it worked quite fine to record the track with GPS data.

However it does not record the HR information from the Built In HR.
There is one option to use "Bpm from wear device" that I tried but without luck.

In Logs I don't see anything that looked like the app trying to read HR sensor.
Does this option only works when orux is installed in phone and companion App in watch?

If this is the case I would not mind helping testing/debuging to making it work when the app is directly installed in the watch.
The code to read HR shall be the same that you already have for the companion App.

Thank you

Thank you.



1- Yes, I got that. If Strava doesn't support it any more, maybe you can remove the dropbox so that people not expect it to be possible to be set during the upload.



3- My fault. Maybe I was changing the wrong e-mail. I re-check the "Less secure apps" was turned off. So I enabled it and now it works. Thanks

Hi,

I have my phone attached to my bike. Some times when I stop I may get away some meters away from the bike.

When that happens I loose connection of my HR band to OruxMaps.

After seeing this a thought of two possible improvements.



Option 1:

IF "Start Automatically sensors" is checked

AND A new Automatic Segment is being created (e.g. No movement)

THEN initate the connect to configured sensors like when user starts recording



Option 2:

Add a new option so that user can choose a "Try to reconnect to sensors" every X minutes if connection to sensor is lost while recording



Again thank you for the application.

MEJORAS/NEW FEATURES / Request: Control Screen
November 10, 2019, 06:03:45 PM
Hi,

In order to save power I cannot have Display always on. But I also don't want it to go automatically off after X seconds as it may turn of exactly when I need to see it.

So a simple feature request that I believe is relevant for some people is the following:

- Add a button to turn screen Off. This can be added to either one of the tool bars

- When button is pressed, display is set to black but it is not locked.

- When user touch the screen the display is turned on again to normal usage.



This way we can have the Display always on option and then control when to turn it off.



I cannot press the power button to do this since the button is not easy to access and would result in a real Phone lock.



Thanks

Hi,

I recently started experimenting OruxMaps. I liked a lot of functionality and planned to start using it as a Map app for navigation while cycling.

However I faced a few anoying bugs.

I upgraded to last beta (7.5.9beta16) to see if it was fixed but it is not. Here is the list



1- Automatic upload to strava

When I finish a track I configured to get a popup to upload the track to strava. There I have the default of the activity to be set as "Private".

However, when the track is uploaded it is uploaded as public. Not private.



2- Cadence Sensor

Not sure if this is an actual OruxMap bug or something due to my sensor but:

I have a MAGENE gemini 210 cadence sensor

When I stop pedaling Orux shows a 0 RPM value. That is correct.

However, that 0 value is never recorded in an upload to strava or export to GPX. Everytime there is a 0 RPM the value of cadence is not writen down.

So, in strava it is assumed like the value was unchanged since the last known value and it keep showing it as straight line with the last RPM value.

Shouldn't OruxMap write zero at least the first time?



3- SOS E-mail

I've configured A SOS G-Mail acount. However, when I try to send a test message I always get an error message with "Wrong mail"

However I got a message from GMAIL asking me about change a setting. So password is correct.

I change the app setting but I still get the same message.



4- Error after instalation

When I start the beta version aftr first instalation I get an error similiar to something like "Preference.xml could not be inflated".

I uninstalled, removed previous oruxmaps folders (Both SD and Phone storage) to have a clean install but still got the same error.



Thank you.
