Could #1653 be related?

How do you start OpenTracks?

Oh, yes. Sorry for the delayed answer. With the screen unlocked it works. #1653 seams to be the problem 28.04.2024 22:27:22 Dennis Guse ***@***.***>:

…

Might be #1653[#1653]. If the screen is off, some Android devices might enforce permission to access the location in the background. And OpenTracks is not (yet) requesting this permission. Can you check if it works, if the screen is on? — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub[#1902 (comment)], or unsubscribe[https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AJT3YEXSJOG5DGROJP3UWADY7VLSTAVCNFSM6AAAAABGXUSCI6VHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMZDAOBRGY2DGOJYGQ].

How do you start OpenTracks?

With the red button at the lower right corner

That's a different problem than.

PERMISSION_LOCATION_BACKGROUND is not required if started via the UI.
In this case: it is usually a misconfiguration with power saving - e.g. something like Android OS optimizing for low power consumption.

I set it to not optiomize in the app settings but, my phone maybe been in energie saving mode. I will test tomorrow if switching of the energie saving mode fixed the issue.

[dennisguse]

And?

[FirstWithThisName]

Oh, sorry it seams like the e-mail resonse didn't work.

Disableing the engerie save mode fixed it.

Thanks for your help!
