GPS tracking lost when phone is locked

[vap78]

Hi

I'm using Charge 2 on Xiaomi Mi8.

I noted that when the phone is locked then GPS tracking is lost.

E.g. if I start an exercise like running or biking and let the phone go asleep then I don't get the stats for distance and speed. 

I removed the "battery optimization" setting from the Fitbit app but I see no effect  - GPS tracking is sill lost when I lock the phone. 

Any further hints? 

Thanks!

Hello @vap78 

Go into your phone settings - apps - Fitbit - power management and disable for Fitbit. 

Also lets make sure run in background is enabled.

Hi

done this already. Battery saver is set to "No restrictions" for the Fitbit app. It is also allowed to start in background. 

Best regards

Do you receive notifications. GPS connects through the modification service. 

Let's move Fitbit to the background with the phone unlocked and try the connected GPS
