GPS/location priority fro Android

[UniformZulu]

Hi,

FIF is loosing GPS data when display switches of or another app is used temporarily.
I figured out that it is not possible to provide FIF "GPS always" access but only "when app is active".
See pic attached.
This leads to lookbook breackups and to anying delays.
Since it worked before realy stable - any advice how to fix it?
Cheers UZ

... when I deactivate the location for the app... FIF will also only switch on the GPS "when app is used"
Why is the option always missing?

To protect the battery and make the hanset working longer, in Android 10 and 11, features are allowing to restrict background processes
This could hurt FIF

On top of GPS setting, you may check in your setting, if:
- FIF can run in background
- battery optimisation rules are not "killing" FIF, while in background
...

This is perhaps the source of your problem

Hi Toni,

Thanks for the reply.
Pls see picture one. For FIF I don't receive the 3rd option to allow FIF to run in background. I have this option for other Apps! FIF doesn't.... thus GPS is killed even in optimized Energy mode.
Its Android 10.

Any further advice?

Just to let everyone know I purchased a uAvionicx Skyecho 2 device for my plane.

Currently in Australia, you can apply for a 50% rebate from the government to go towards such a purchase.

This works perfectly with Fly Is Fun and shows we all I need to know.

This device also includes a TS0-C199 certified GPS and a barometric Altitude sensor.

FiF says it'll accept the GPS input thru GDL90, and I'm wondering if this solves the issue of background GPS usage for FiF.

I'll have to try it next time I'm flying.

Would also be good if FIF accepted the baro altitude values as well, so can include in instruments for the tablet I have without baro sensr.
