Bug: Losing GPS location

[rabbidfly]

Twice today after the latest update i completely lost GPS location. The GPS location icon didn't appear on the map at all, but when i clicked the 'Center me' button, it moved to what seemed like my location. I looked at the territory and the neighbouring territories, and it didn't look like i was actively mustering troops anywhere.

I had to restart to fix.

I may have something to do with the new 'run in background' feature, becuase it only happened when i allowed my phone to be locked.

On my way to work, i did not allow the phone to lock at all, and i didn't notice this issue.

Sorry i don't have more. This one is hard to pin down.

I'm also seeing "Channel" errors for the first time. I'll be sure to grab the actual text next time. May be related?

Thanks for the post. I've had it happen to me a few times but if I moved it came back. I'll take a look into that one.

What do you mean "channel" errors? There's been a few crash logs in the new version that have come back but it's hard to pinpoint the issue from the stack trace.

Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks

It happened again today once i came out of lock mode, but contrary to what i said earlier, it looks like i was in fact still mustering troops.
I also saw the black GPS pointer icon reappear later.

So, it is a bug, but the severity appears to be a lot lower than i thought yesterday.

With regards to the channel error, i'll try and capture the steps and the exact message next time.

Cheers,

got the error

"Error in Channel Registration"

happened twice more today

seems to happen around the time i lose the GPS icon, but the correlation isn't certain

Ah..thanks. the message is stemming from having toast notifications turned on. Somewhere it's erroring out when your phone comes back.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll dive deeper into it and keep you posted.
