I have been using acctracking for about a week on my 8800 Blackberry.
When it works, it works great! but there is a glitch that I see everyday:
when the software loses a fix or the BB goes to "sleep" mode after a period of inactivity, and a certain amout of time passes, the software will no longer pick up a fix, even perfect conditions.
Refresh does not help, as it very quickly goes back to "No fix. Waiting..."
Some times the GPS on the device appears to have stopped as well, but restarting it through a different software (like BBMaps) does not help Accutracking to find a fix. It appears as if the Accutracking software "gives up" permanently after a while.
The only way that I have found to make Accutracking actually look for and find a GPS fix again is to close the program (not run on background) and restart it again. When this is done, the program usually finds a GPS fix within a few seconds. Until everything goes back to sleep, that is...
Any ideas/suggestions for a fix or workaround?!?
Thanks in advance.
