A short update from my own testing. On Android it seems like the best results I get for frequent updates are with these settings:

  • Accuracy - high
  • Distance - 0
  • Interval - as low as you want; I tested once a minute and got a consistent location update
  • Wake lock - enabled

Make sure to add the app to battery optimization exceptions.

Антон, спасибо за Traccar. Можете подсказать где у меня проблема Андроид app V 9.3.0 server V 6.7.2 Почему такое странное поведение?
Раньше такого не было. Батарейки оптимизация выключена. 4 Андроидных телефона одинаковое поведение. Что то не так на сервере? Вся фильтрация на сервере убрана. Спасибо еще раз.

Version 9.3.0 has come through to my two devices now from the Play Store. One is a Pixel 9 Pro XL and the other a Samsung S24 Ultra.

I only see the 'Wake Lock' and 'Fastest interval' options on the Pixel, they do not appear in the Samsung. Is that normal?
Both connecting to the same server, which I just upgraded to the newest version yesterday.

Anton, would it be possible to update and send the last coordinate when the device stops moving? I have my distance set for 250m. If the distance between the last point and home is a bit less than that, the tracker will stick on the last position and not where it stopped. Like this:

alexsahka what is the problem exactly? What worked differently?

bones no, it's not. Are you sure you're using the new version?

Unconnected you can try setting heartbeat.

I recommend starting a new thread to discuss this, but you should provide details on what settings you had before and now.

Anton, could you recommend whether a new thread on an app or a server forum would be better?

Anton Tananaev 6 months ago

App of course.

Anton, yes - I'm sure. Both are using version 9.3.0 according to the Play Store. On the Samsung I also force closed the app, cleared cache & user data then set the app up again, but those two options are still missing.

Both devices have been stationary/idle over night, the Pixel shows it last updated 13 mins ago and the Samsung 11 hours ago. Both have got the heartbeat set to 300 seconds.

Can you provide a screenshots from one of the Samsung devices showing version and app settings screen.

We have a new experimental version to try (Android only for now):

https://traccar.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/download/app-release-340.apk

It adds "highest" accuracy option with distance/interval/angle. Basically it should work almost the same as old app. Please try and provide feedback.
