Hello Orux,
I apologise in case the problem was already dealt with in this forum, but I looked and did not find anything on the matter.
I have been happily using Oruxmaps for some years now, and I find it an exceptional software. It has become so important to me that, as I am considering to buy a new phone, the fact that oruxmaps works on the new phone will condition my choice. And here are my two questions: as am considering of buying either Huawei P30 pro or Huawei P40 pro, I would greatly appreciate having feedback, if available, on:
1. Does Oruxmaps work smoothly with a Huawei P30 (in the past, I read of some unexpected track recording interruction on Huawei hardware)?
2. Any experience on how Oruxmaps works without Google Mobile Services, which are substituted in the P40 pro by the Huawei Mobile Services (I understand I should also find the oruxmaps apk file, but this does not concern me – I am worried whether Oruxmaps calls any GMS specific apis and, regardless, whether it runs smoothly)?
Thank you for the time you took to read this.
All the best
Hendrik

Hello!
The app should work without GMS.
You have to disable 'fused location provider' in global settings-->sensors-->GPS because that provider is from GMS.
But only free version, there is no option to install the GP version, it is a bit different.
I think that Huawei solved old problems about apps running in background. I had a P20 pro, it was working fine in that version.
orux
Hello,
I just bought a used Huawei P40 Pro plus.
I just realise that there are no GMS.
I understand that I can use it with the Oruxmaps beta versions.
There is really no solution to have a paid version with my phone?
Regards.
Hello,
I answer to myself. There are 2 solutions :
- Directtly from Huawei AppGallery : https://appgallery.huawei.com/app/C104512257 (https://appgallery.huawei.com/app/C104512257)
- Amazon Store : https://www.amazon.com/OruxMaps/dp/B08LXK8RML (https://www.amazon.com/OruxMaps/dp/B08LXK8RML)
So simple.
Good job Oruxmaps!!!
Hello,
As I said before I bought a Huawei P40 Pro + (for the photo capabilities).
The problem is that it seems to have an issue with the power saving function.
Sometimes, during track recording, I have got straight lines showing that there is no more recording of the positions:
(https://mini.ouplo.com/16/c/UlUW.jpg) (https://full.ouplo.com/16/c/UlUW.jpg)
I have changed the "Foreground usage/power consumption" in Oruxmaps parameters:
(https://mini.ouplo.com/16/c/uKjx.jpg) (https://full.ouplo.com/16/c/uKjx.jpg)
I have changed the "Location permission":
(https://mini.ouplo.com/16/c/eUgu.jpg) (https://full.ouplo.com/16/c/eUgu.jpg)
Is there somebody with the same kind of problem?
Regards.
Hello,
I'm so sad!!! I bought a powerful smartphone and it works not as well as my previous ones (LG G6, Samsung A71)...
Nobody to help me?
Any idea?
Regards.
Today, for 3.99€, I bought the OruxMaps HU version on the Huaweï store (Appgallery).
I will try it and see if there is the same problem around energy saving (or something else like freezing software... ).
Regards.

Power management in Android has become a very complicated thing. Each manufacturer implements it in a different way. The apps cannot do anything, they are adjustments that the user must make himself.
Two notes:
look at dontkillmyapp.com they usually have good information.
in OruxMaps, disable sensors-->GPS-->fused location provider.
orux
Hello,
1): On "DontKillMyApp. com" they don't talk about EMUI 12. Therefore I will have a look on the web.
2): Fused location is greyed on the option, I think it's OK.
But, I'm not so optimistic...
Regards.

It has to work, I am not aware of problems with more users. The Huawei were problematic for some time (I have a P20 pro from those times), but after several Huawei updates it was solved.
Initially try a fresh installation.
orux
Hello,
I clear "Cache" and "Data" and reinstall Oruxmaps: it seems to be working properly now. To be continued...
Thank's a lot! :)
Regards.
Oh nooooo! The track recording of Oruxmaps (8.5.5 RC3) freeze one more time.
I'm not sure that the problem comes from energy management. The soft was running, I could move the map but no more position recording.
Can you have a look to my gpx file?
Is there a way to activate something in OruxMaps to have debug logs or something like that?
Regards.
Hello,
Here is the extraction of the GPX file:

It seems that there is no recording during 20 minutes.
How can I find the guilty? My Smartphone, Oruxmaps, a configuration somewhere?...
Please I need help!
Regards.
I'm always with my track recording issue on my Huawei P40 Pro+.
I made a factory reset off the smartphone.
I install few softwares only.
The issue is still there. Oruxmaps seems to work correctly, no freezing screen,but no more recording.
(https://mini.ouplo.com/16/17/V4dH.jpg) (https://full.ouplo.com/16/17/V4dH.jpg)
When the issue occurs, I launch "GPS Status" and then, after 5 seconds, Oruxmaps starts again to record the positions data.
Somebody have any idea?
Regards.
I had Huawei phones and I remeber that the battery optimization was pretty aggressive..
You have to check the battery manager of the oruxmaps app
https://nine-faq.9folders.com/articles/16876-how-to-turn-off-battery-optimization-on-the-huawei-devices
this might help.
Thanks Haldo,
I'm on EMUI 12 (propably Android 10).
The interface is not the same but I have the same function. I already have removed Oruxmaps from Energy Saving.
(https://mini.ouplo.com/16/17/rUGN.jpg) (https://full.ouplo.com/16/17/rUGN.jpg)
The issue is still there.
I'm very disappointed. Do you have any other idea?
I'll try to use another software (like Oruxmaps) for my track recording to see if the problem will be still there...
Regards.
with my huawei worked..... But it was two phones ago.. it was P8 lite
last try... check if FUSED LOCATION PROVIDER is on
you find it in menu - sensor - gps
(https://mini.ouplo.com/16/17/ZlNU.jpg) (https://full.ouplo.com/16/17/ZlNU.jpg)
As you can see the option is greyed. Is it ok?
no. it's not....
it should be not greyed. it should be clickable
sorry. Runned out of options.
Let's see if other users has the solution.
anyway... be advised that most of the time the app stops recording the track if the app is not in the foreground.
if You put it in the background, still running but in the background, (as when you tap the home button for instance) the track will most likely stop recording.
I found a new app called "Geo Tracker" (https://m.apkpure.com/geo-tracker-gps-tracker/com.ilyabogdanovich.geotracker).
It's not so powerful than Oruxmaps but I'll try to use it and see what happens...
