Glopus / Ozi, Display off = GPS off

[one_michael]

Hi all,

I have the following problem on my HTC P3600 Win Mobile 5:

When I have Glopus or Ozi running and want to switch off the display (to save power while tracking the route) the GPS stops working. When I turn on the display I have to restart the GPS in Glopus and Ozi and for the time with "no display" I have no route logged.

Is there any function with which I can fix this?


Thanks very much for your input!
Michael

Hi All,

just found the solution:

If the hardware button is used to switch off the device it also takes the power from the GPS so it will stop working. There are many freeware tools (displayoff, screenlock, etc etc) which can be configured to a hardware button and will switch off ONLY the display. Result: battery saving + working GPS which is logging tracks
