Android Go 13 power control causes tracking stop about gpslogger

[GrazianoCapelli]

First of all thanks for posting the issue, so now we are aware of it.
Please post your phone model and the settings you set to try to enable the background operativity of the app.
We'll check if we have good feedback from other users with the same device, and if possible we'll try to solve the problem.

I had the same kind of issue with app crashed. I also tested it without crash so crash is not a sure thing.

GPS Logger 3.2.0 on Xiaomi Note 7
Android 10 QKQ1.190910.002
MIUI Global 12.0.3

@TVEgit - I looked into crash reports on Play Console, and I haven't found crashes related to your phone.
Are you experimenting app crashes, or your Android system is killing the app in background?

Reading the Play Store reviews I found that someone with your device model reported that MIUI sometimes kills the app in background.

We know that some phones (for example Huawei devices) tend to aggressively kill the apps in background, and that on some Samsung models the app is sometimes killed in background when the users make photos.
Now, in this issue, we are trying to know if the problem that the user reported is related to the specific user, to some phone model or to Android Go 13 systems.

Unfortunately Android and many manufacturers, trying to optimise the battery life, made a mess with the background operativity, and there is no way to solve it at app level.

FWIW the phone I reported is a low spec Alcatel 1. To your para below I have noticed if you receive a phone call the GPS tracking stops but doesnt get reported in the UI by the app or the OS.
