AlpineQuest & OfflineMaps

Thanks for going through this with me. This happens when I start the camera app (the standard Samsung camera app) using its own icon. I have not used AQ to create picture waypoints. In this scenario (using AQ and switching to take pictures then switching back to AQ), when I notice that AQ has stoppe...

What does "Unable to retrieve a task control multiple times" mean in this context? I was out on a hike yesterday and obviously something still isn't right with the settings or permissions. I was taking pictures and switching back to AQ, and had that error message pop up in AQ. I had to ful...

Thank you for clarifying. Sorry for missing that in the FAQ. So it appears then that the culprit all along was the OS behavior. I have grave doubts that Google and Samsung will take pity on us and produce a system setting that is something like "Permit application to use GPS when screen lock is...

Followup: AQ's allowed permissions pertaining to location are: "Allow only while using the app", "Ask every time" and "Don't allow". Notably, "Allow all the time" is not presented in the list at all for me, unlike certain apps (not just system or Google apps)....

That's interesting about the various optimization settings. It looks like the latest Samsung settings are slightly different than what's depicted in your otherwise great help. Would you like me to screenshot anything for you? One need to click AlpineQuest Off-Road Explorer in the Apps list, then scr...

Thanks for your reply. I reviewed all of the settings that seem relevant to this -- in AQ, in my app permissions, in developer options, and am not sure where an optimization mode would be. This seems peculiar to the beta version, as my wife's phone has the production version, and is an identical S21...

Got too excited... it still has this behavior. I have tested a few times and what seems to happen, is AQ seems to need to re-lock after I switch to another app (typically camera app). The camera app does incidentally use the GPS datafeed to write the EXIF for the images I captured. When I switch bac...

This would be nice. At present, I name my favorites in a way to force them to sort how I want them to appear, but this takes up a character or two, or requires goofy naming.

After updating to 2.3.4 (version code aq340), the tracking discontinuity I reported above is not recurring. Did you make a stealth bugfix? Thanks if you did!

I have a similar problem and feel it's not a thread hijack to chime in. I am using the very latest beta (2.3.4.R8166) though this started on the just-prior beta for me, which I believe ended in 18 -- sorry I don't recall now). If I'm navigating and tracking in AQ, then switch to my camera app and th...

The beta just became available, and upon upgrading I get... an awesome little circular scale! This is great. Thanks

Hi. This sounds excellent! I have beta ver 2.3.4.R8138, and that seems to not use the updated user setting. What beta version do you anticipate will use this?

Thanks

Hi. Thanks for implementing the "Display circular scale" function a while ago. I find that I most often use it to judge sizes of objects on screen, rather than to gain a rough idea of travel distance. In that vein, would you consider permitting the scale range to go smaller than it already...

Hi. Please mark [resolved]. The new beta version that just installed last evening took care of this. That you mention the progress bar is also important, as some of the previous sessions when it never blanked, were indeed displaying a progress bar. Thanks again and I consider this fixed (or explaine...

Hi. Running AQ 2.3.4.R8118 on Android 13 (kernel 5.4.210 etc) on a Samsung S21 ultra with One UI ver 5.1. I have recently noticed that the Android screen blank function seems to be disabled while AQ is active and visible on the screen. When the phone is at its homescreen, blanking occurs per Android...
