Revision history [back]

I'm using runkeeper, which work in general, but as soon is I use the power key to turn off the screen (or wait until this happens) the GPS tracking stops working. When I turn it on again runkeeper has to search again for a gps signal and no data was recorded while the screen was off.

I verified this also with other apps like gpstester.

It looks like the android apps are suspended while the screen is off. (I think this was working with before 1.0.7.16, but I'm not sure)

Expected behavior: The app should track GPS data while the screen is off. Otherwhis all these apps like RunKeeper, RunTastic and so on are useless
