Device moving notification on Android

Bob Farisha year ago

I'm using Traccar manager on an Android phone (Android 9) to the demo server with just one device.
I've got the device set to give me movement notification.
This all used to work OK, but stopped a few months ago. I now get no notification of the device moving.

I can test the notification and receive a notification dot (though I do get a 'requested entity not found' message), but no sound. I used to have it set to a different sound too, but the option doesn't seem to be there to do that now.

I've uninstalled and re-installed the app, and tried various settings on my phone, but it remains the same. I'm not using geofences, calendars, drivers, or any of the other options.

I guess I'm missing something but not sure what.

Are you sure you're using the latest official version of Traccar Manager?

Also, try removing notification device tokens. And then re-login in the app.

[SOLVED]
Hi Anton, yes I do have the latest version.

I played about a bit more and got it working.

I switched off 'Default' and then notifications in the app, and when I turned it back on, the options to make changes such as 'sound' and 'vibrate' etc. were all there again, where before there was only the 'show notification dot' switch. So it's all working fine now.

Most odd, and I'm sorry for wasting your time.
