Live location S+ app

@Miroslava
Thanks for trying it out and for the detailed message!

• What button are you pressing 10 times?

• To see heart rate in the tracking view, make sure the “Additional metrics” option is enabled in the app settings.
  

• Repeated “watch connected” notifications
  Those shouldn’t appear constantly. That sounds like an issue possibly a phone-specific behavior. Could you let me know what phone model and Android version you’re using?

@Nikolai-Simonov Thanks. I just edited my test report to specify that sending metrics was off and that i had continious gnss ON.
I’ll test again with notifications off, gnss off and additional metrics on

@Nikolai-Simonov said in Live location S+ app:

Repeated “watch connected” notifications

I can confirm on Android 14 I see repeated notifications “watch connected / watch disconnected”, every 30 seconds or so

@Francesco-Pagano exactly as me

Hi @Miroslava @Francesco-Pagano
Thanks a lot for helping test and report this!

I was able to reproduce the issue — on some devices, it looks like there’s a conflict with the Suunto App (SA). Roughly once per minute, SA causes the disconnection between Live.t and the S+ app on watch and that’s why you’re seeing repeated connection notifications.

I still need a bit of time to fully investigate what’s going on, but in the meantime:

Good news:
The SuuntoPlus app handles reconnection correctly, so even with these interruptions, tracking should continue to work well.

Temporary workaround:
You can mute notifications from the Live.t app in your phone’s system settings. That should make it less annoying until the fix is ready.

I’ll publish a small hotfix soon to make the connection notification silent by default.

Thanks again for your help in tracking down this weird bug really appreciate it!

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos nope, it’s svelte

[Miroslava]

@Nikolai-Simonov I’m super glad I helped you catch the mistakes, we’ll see how it goes after the fix, when I try it out

@Nikolai-Simonov Would adding different intervals between data pings be beneficial for mobile phone battery life? For example - 1min, 2min, 5min, 10min, 15min, 30min, 1 hour, etc. On a lot of activities you don’t need real-time (1sec pings) tracking
