GPS track with straight lines - allow location Android 10?
-
Hi,
My wife keeps getting strange GPS tracks with her S3, ok at the beginning but after a while only a couple of gps points recorded (see below)
It happens all the time, not just a one-off issue.
I checked the location permission on her phone (Xiaomi mi10t pro, Android 10 ), and it’s set to ‘Only while using the app’. I guess that’s the problem and should be set to ‘Always’, but the option doesn’t seem available for the Suunto app.
Is there a known issue with Android 10 and S3, or am I looking at the wrong place to allow the watch to properly use the GPS of the phone all the time?
I found a coupe of similar questions on the forum but without answers I could understand or try…
Thanks!

Just found a battery saver setting activated for SA… Removed it, will check this afternoon if that was the problem

Would also probably suggest that your wife turns off wifi and wifi scanning when tracking as I have noticed that sometimes wifi hits can cause the position to show up incorrectly.

I confirm that the following solved the issue :
settings
battery and performance
manage apps battery usage
choose apps - Suunto app
set to no restrictions -
