Power Saving mode or Battery Optimisation mode may reduce the GPS accuracy when using Navigator to track your activity. Even if your phone is not in Power Saving mode, an individual app such as AllTrails, can be opted into Battery Optimisation. You will need to disable the battery optimisation setting before using Navigator.
NOTE: Android operation systems updates may opt you back into Battery Optimisation even if you previously opted out.
You can disable Battery Optimisation following these OS version specific steps:
Android 12 and above:
- Long-press on the AllTrails app icon then tap the info icon
- Tap on ‘Battery’
- Select ‘Unrestricted’ for battery usage
Android 11 and below:
- Long-press on the AllTrails app icon then tap the info icon
- Tap on ‘Battery’
- Tap on 'Optimise Battery Usage'
- Change dropdown menu from 'Apps Not Optimised' to 'All'
- Toggle AllTrails to off
NOTE: These instructions may vary slightly between different phone models and operating system versions.
