Receiving Calls Whilst Using Sports Tracker

Discussion for Sports Tracker

11-04-2009 19:46

Hi,

-Nokia N95-

Just statrted using Nokia Sports Tracker.

Worked fine for a walk the other day but had the following problem whilst on the bike today...

Usually the phone is stuffed in the bag so I wouldn't hear the call but using Sports Tracker its now strapped to the outside of the bag.
I checked that all was working well about half way round then continued. When we had completed the ride I noticed that Sports tracker had stopped at about 75% of the distance. Thinking back I had a call around this time which I ignored, when I spoke to to missed call he said that the 1st time he called it answered straight away (which it shouldn't do) then rang again which must have been the one that I ignored.
I am assuming that this is where Sports Tracker decided to stop.

Is there a way to stop this happening?

2nd point. On the limited testing I have been doing it seems that the GPS doesn't work unless the phones slider is in the open position, not good when attaching to the bike. Is this correct?

TIA

I have not witnessed your first observation.

With regards to your seond observation this is not the case on my N95 8Gb. The NST v2.x does drop into the background when the phone goes into low power mode, but this just means that the sceen stops updating and does not update until the key lock is deactivated. The GPS continues working throughout as can be seen on the map screen.

Thankyou for the reply, I will have to do a bit more testing...

So should I be able to take a call with NST still working in the background?

After more testing it does seem that my observations where incorrect.

Went on a ride today, got a missed call and a few text which didn't mess up the tracking.

Also using it with the phone slider down and all seems to be working well.

Thanks

As long as we have this thread going, I should add that my phone can barely handle receiving a call while on a workout. I have taken calls on a full battery while in the midst of a workout and within a minute I get the tripple tone of terror; "Battery Low". A few times my phone has shut off because of this.

Odd, but when I turn my phone back on, I will see as much as half full on the battery meter.

Again, perhaps it's just my aging battery; nearly 30 months old.

I had no troubles recieving calls while using NST. The following setting worked for me:

- e51
- bluetooth connection to headphones
- bluetooth connection to GPS

A few days ago, when I got a call the phone rang normally, I could speak via the headphone and the workout continued normally. I guess it is a problem with your battery, then.

And what about recieving a call whilst live sharing a workout and not having a 3G network signal? How is it meant to work when the phone cannot handle both, the call and the data connection, simultaneously? Should the live sharing be automatically restored after the call is finished? For I (and also some of my friends) experienced the live sharing stopping during a call and then never restoring ("error fetching data" written on the website).
However, the phone was still tracking the route and I was able to upload it after the workout, but that's not a live sharing then, is it?
