Run app not working properly
Affected hardware version
Bangle 2
Your firmware version
2v19
The bug
When using the Run app, it does not show the distance that I've traveled nor does it show the pace (average or current).
Also, when I press stop, to stop the timer, and start again it will ask if I want to resume the run. Regardless of whether I say yes or no, the app will start up again and it does not load properly. The only thing that is displayed is the time (see screenshot)
Is there a fix for this? Thanks

Hi - I've just tried here on 2v19 with a fresh install and it seems to work fine for me.
Do you think there is anything set up in your app loader I should be aware of? Like Minify apps before upload or translations?
Please could you go to the Web IDE (https://www.espruino.com/ide/), click connect (top left) then Web Bluetooth and choose your device. Then start the run app and do the stuff you were doing, and see if anything gets printed on the left-hand side?
If it does, please could you copy it and paste it up here? It might give a hint as to what is broken
Sorry, I take that back - after the menu about resuming, I do see the blank screen, and I'll get a fix in for that.

In the bottom left, is the GPS marker green, or red? Without GPS the app can't work out how far you've gone, so that could be what you're seeing?
I'd advise using the Assisted GPS app to upload AGPS data to the GPS to allow it to get a GPS lock much quicker (hopefully 30-ish seconds) - but you'll have to be outside for that

Ok great thanks! and FYI it was happening for the Run+ app as well. And not sure if this is happening for you, but the clock is not restarting after I exit the app.

Ok, will give it a try.
Yes - I fixed both of them ;)
How were you exiting the app? If I long-press the button to exit, it seems to work fine for me. Shows 'Loading...' and then the clock screen
Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same blank screen after resuming. On the blank screen, I am unable to stop the clock or restart and have to long press to exit the app.
You definitely updated to the latest version on the development app loader? https://espruino.github.io/BangleApps/
the changes won't be live on banglejs.com/apps yet
Ah ok, for some reason I wasn't seeing the update. Blank screen is gone now :) Will try out the GPS later on.
Appreciate it!
Hi, I am not able to get the GPS working. Even with the Assisted GPS app there doesn't seem to be a connection. I was outside for about 20 minutes and the GPS marker stayed red.
Is there perhaps something I need to change in the settings? Thanks
The problem is fixed by installing the "recorder" app. I don't know why but as soon as I installed it as well the problem stopped happening
Are you using the reocorder app, or just installing it solved the problem?

Just installing it fixes the problem
Which problem in particular did installing recorder fix? Seeing distance updated?
The blank screen should have been fixed with the app update I made last week.
@mdright01 did you try other apps to check the GPS like the GPS Info, or OpenStreetMap?
@gfwilliams The screen works okay. I am unable to get the distance to show up when using the app. I will check with other GPS apps.
Could it be that the recorder app is triggering the GPS to run in the background?
Well, if you're recording the recorder app would turn GPS on - but the run app should do this anyway, so I'm not convinced that would be the issue.

Ok. I downloaded the GPS info app, it doesn't seem like its getting a fix.
