Power Saving mode or Battery Optimization 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 Optimization. You will need to disable the battery optimization setting before using Navigator.
NOTE: Android operation systems updates may opt you back into Battery Optimization even if you previously opted out.
You can disable Battery Optimization 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 'Optimize Battery Usage'
- Change dropdown menu from 'Apps Not Optimized' to 'All'
- Toggle AllTrails to off
NOTE: These instructions may vary slightly between different phone models and operating system versions.
