Using high accuracy mode and high battery use for Strava?

Tried using an alternative app like Ghostracer free (albeit the £3 Pro is well worth is IMO)? It can automatically sync your ride to Strava.

the battery saver was disabled on sunday.
the ride took me 4h 57m and strava said i was moving for 4h 50m but it decided not to log the final 12 miles...the map just shows a straight line back to the finish...that missing section included some really fast descents that i wanted to time.

The Strava app will need to be updated to stop the issues with the new os.

power save was switched off
autopause was switched off
app was set to optimise
yet it still logged my journey time but not the final 12 miles of the route

maybe the strava app is being 'dozed'

Do you have any power saving settings on the phone (rather than the app)? I had a similar problem with an S6 and it was due to having that power saving on.

could be a battery saver thing

just realised that the phone has been in power saving mode while its been running :-)

going to test it again with power saving mode switched off to see if that makes a difference....before i start looking at gps tracker apps
