Client doesn't see/use GPS on Android 4.2.2

Open Anton-V-K opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Traccar Client 5.10 doesn't use/see GPS on Android 4.2.2 (Karbonn Lion, MTK6572). Though GPS data is activated on the smartphone, there is no sign in the notification bar that this functionality is used when Traccar Client is started. Hence no location data is sent... No errors in the log. Default settings are used with two changes: demo5 + reporting interval = 60 seconds.

When GPS Test (or another GPS-related application) runs, the GPS sign is shown.

Could be related to #142 , though the service seems to be working.

Have you enabled high accuracy (GPS)?

Ah, indeed, by default Medium accuracy is effective. After I switched to High accuracy, the GPS sign was shown in the notification area. I think, I had High accuracy before I re-installed the application, and it wasn't working as expected... Anyway the problems seems to be gone, so the issue may be closed. Thanks for fast reply.
