Latest Traccar Client version does not update real location Android OS
Can you please provide support for your claims that it's unreliable. I have seen a few reports, but vast majority are from users without proper Google Play services.
As we can see the Traccar client android refuse to update it's real time location. Fix Time is the latest. Speed shows active moving. Motion is yes. Activity shows in_vehicle. But no updates on the address coordinates. What could be the bugs?
I tried repeating the random command send but it does not work today.
I was referring specifically to this part:
as reported by many users
Extremely strong statement like that require some supporting evidence.
Okay as I am now reporting actively and troubleshooting for a possible bugs.
The Traccar Client suddently updates the latest real time location coordinates.
I need to find a way to retrieve the logs at the Traccar client for your analysis.
It serms like a delayed respond after 30 minutes since movements is constantly detected.
Can it be any of the Traccar client config settings? Set to the Highest all the time.
Thanks for the follow up Anton.
One thing to note is that my son never want to keep his google credentials sign in all the time as he afraid of hackers attacks.
As for my phone. I have my google credential sign in all the time. Which clearly shows my phone does not suffer intermittent location update failure like his phone.
Could this be the reasons why for the fault encountered in his phone on the halted location updating issue?
Here my son when for his lunch and the Traccar client location frozen and stop updating only the real time coordinates. But the fix time still updates as usual.
Here is the full initialized sequence of the start of remote command to the Traccar client which refused to update to latest real time GPS coordinates for your analysis Anton.
Many Thanks.
There seems to be an error .... Error when posting to this thread ...
"Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x94\xB5 ...' for column 'content' at row 1"
P/S: Had to remove all the little cute icon images which the forum blocks earlier with error ...
Sniplet of the Traccar Client Log under analysis ...

I think with "Force Full GNSS Measurements" Enabled via Developers Mode the Traccar Client location update is locked up from receiving real time updates. Could this be the actual cause? Lets disable it and see the out come later.
Maybe for Traccar client with Highest Location Accuracy should bypass Google physical activity checks and un-fuse forced location updates always base on user admin preferences.
After which I had run out of troubleshooting ideas. I decide to delete the old Traccar Cliend ID profile and cre-reate a new one.
Then soon after it appear tracking real time again. I suspected the problem is at the Traccar Server bugs now all along.
I try a work about and it seems to work. Once the coordinates fails to update real time.
I had to delete the effected client Attributes, Notification Tokens at Traccar server.
Then at the Traccar client click on the Send Location follow by Continous Tracking check button to update to Traccar server.
So that at client Settings, Commamd will appear all Single, Periodic, Stop Reporting options plus Factory Reset option.
I think this mehod seems to solves the intermittent freezed coordinate real time updates.
Till then, lets cross our fingers.
Thanks anyway Anton.
Well the Traccar client not updating the location bugs still persists and many users have complained. I am glad it is not my isolated case only. Well I have ran of ideas how to troubleshoot further. I shall rest my case here until a bug fix is made available in future. Thanks Anton. Bye. Shall not disturb you further.

Question and Answers from you Anton.
Have you checked logs?
Yes, location update is real time updated but coordinates not updated at map tracking.Is the state stationary?
No, in motion Yes and activity in_vehicle.Thanks for the update.
You are most welcome Anton.There might be some delay for notifications on Google's side.
Notification Token updated to latest at Traccar server already.Can you please provide support for your claims that it's unreliable. I have seen a few reports, but vast majority are from users without proper Google Play services.
All our devices are flagship Samsung phones with Google Play with full permission and Activity attributes in Traccar servers exhibit real time value changes.
Questions? Does does Google Play services relates to Traccar client location real time updates intermittent failure? Traccar client setting is set to the Highest already.
Maybe you could enable an option for user admin to ignore Google physical activity integration features since it is so unreliable and unpredictable as reported by many users and adopt the simple send interval timer as preset by administrator user.
Which will follow the old legacy Traccar client failed proof system design. Cause as we move forward towards your development improvements we want to constantly use your latest Traccar client versions.
