Have to turn off power save mode after I start every workout

Bugreport for Sports Tracker

09-04-2009 11:16

I run with my phone in a transparent armband and have the automatic keylock set to 10 seconds to avoid accidental button presses.

Previous versions of Sports Tracker (1.x) worked perfectly:

I start my run and after 10 seconds the device locks. Any time I want to check the screen I can press any key: The screen appears for about 5 seconds and the phone remains locked.

With version 2.06 this is no longer possible. This is because the screen does not update in "power save mode" and this mode is always on.

Now after starting my run I have to press "options", then scroll down to "power save mode" then select "Turn off". This is very difficult to do inside the armband. This cannot be done before the workout is started! Yuk!

The "power save mode" option should be remembered:

It is correctly remembered if you finish a workout, then start a new workout WITHOUT quitting the application.
It is NOT remembered if you finish a workout, then quit the application then restart it with a new workout.

With all the other settings remembered for subsequent workouts, it seems "Power saver" and "Autolap" were left out.

I agree it's annoying to have to always go in and set these options for each new workout. The quicker we can go about our sessions, the better.

Until a fix is made, you can adjust the "Autopause when speed is" feature in Settings>Activities to keep the clock from running while you're adjusting the settings. I find that feature very useful when running in the city where the inevitable stops occur at busy intersections.

I agree that it would be nice to have NST remember these settings as it does with many others.
