Test new completely rewritten Traccar Client app
Thanks Anton, I'll check tomorrow. Appreciate your help.
We have a new version - 9.2.0.
It should have more logging and also some fixes. If something still doesn't work, please send us new logs.
My phones (Android S25 / S22) with Traccar 9.2.0 are acting up. The behavior is similar to before, where if the 'older' app's location accuracy was set to 'Low,' it resulted in very few location recordings. However, it's now set to 'High,' and I'm still getting very few location recordings. All server-side filtering is disabled, as it was functioning well on the previous server or app version before these major changes. I don't even know what to do.
For me the app on iOS works perfectly. With medium setting and 200m I get points almost every 400m (think it is using some kind of radius). It starts 'motion' after leaving the house either on my bicycle or walking. Also detects the right type of action. Cycling gives me more points unless I drive fast enough then the amount of points are lower and have greater distance. Think that is the elasticy right? Think it is a nice feature because that will lower the amount of data points and therefor give less battery usage. Can I ask why you removed it in the last version and set default to true? It seemed to be working perfectly. Hope you can give us that option back.

(this commit removed it)
Unconnected Yeah, that's elasticity. Removed it for now because it was confusing. It shouldn't affect battery too much. To track distance you still need location provider to be on. But we can bring it back later once we sort out other stability issues.
I have an Android phone with version 9.1.0.
Settings:
Accuracy: high
Distance: 0
Interval: 0
Heartbeat: 300
Offline buff: off
Disable elasticity: off
Stop detection: off
As soon as I set these settings and return to "home" screen of the traccar app and turn off screen, the phone starts sending like crazy. Every second a new message. It does that for about 1,5 minute, then radio silence for about 20 minutes. Then, again every second a message now already for more than 30 minutes.
On my iPhone, with the same app version and settings:
accuracy: high
distance: 10
Heartbeat: 300
Offline buffering: off
Disable elasticity: off
Stop detection: off
Prevent suspend: on
Only once a message is received. No new messages during the last hour. Nothing.
I intentionally try to keep settings for both Android and iOS the same.
I am completely lost.
Did I not configure it right or is this app still in development and are we involuntarily your debug subjects?
App logs. It should store 24 hours of logs.
