hmmmm on my Sg2 I can not confirm that
I start Locus open the map-window and make some zooming.
Using the app CPUspy I can see that the cpu is running approx 200 MHz
Not bad at all !

Locus Pro v. 2.4.3: CPU-load 0

see the gauge in the left upper corner
the app: SetVsel (analogue SetCPU for Motorola Defy)

Locus Pro v. 4.5.0 map: CPU-load 100%


Locus Pro v. 4.5.0 settings: CPU-load 0


I've rolled back on v 2.4.3

may you please experiement a little? Hide track, select different map, disable GPS, or in the end, record short log with CatLog program. I'm sure there will be some infinity error running on background. Sorry for that. I've tested this new version quite a lot (three people whole day) but not everything may be tested ...

Hello Menion,

thanks a lot for your answer

>some infinity error running on background
sure

>Hide track,
done

>select different map,
for instance, online OSM cyclo instead of vector-maps
done

>disable GPS
yep

everything with the same results: 100 CPU-load,
The problem occurs only when the map-window is running in foreground.

>short log with CatLog program
I'll do a bit later

best wisches

Hmm I firstly thought that your system start locus 10 times in one moment, but then I see that you just filtered lines that contain "locus" text. It's not much useful in the end because thanks to this is not visible what android do between.

Please just start record of CatLog, then simply start locus, play with it a while and then end it, store catLog record and send me whole log, better packed as zip on locus@asamm.com. I have no idea why this happen from log you posted, sorry ..

Hi menion,
look here on the forum
http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewtopic.ph...

I cannot record a catlog because I am now on 2.3.4 again because I need today a "good" Locus version.

thanks all for help. Seems to be some problem in map rendering on 2.X android devices. As soon as I'll fix it (together with some other issues), I'll put here testing version to check if all works correctly. Sorry for these issues - nice example of Android fragmentation ...

fixed! reason:
issue caused by simple call "scaleView.postInvalidate()" (redraw scale bar after map draw stuff), which caused also request on map draw. Never-ending cycle

Hello Menion.
Never mind, I think every software developer has created a never ending loop at least once in his life. ;-)
Can you tell us when the fixed version will find the 'official' way to Play store respectively to our smartphones? In three weeks I will go to Norway for cycling four weeks and I really need Locus Pro. :-)

Hi,
don't worry. It's quite serious issue and today is THE DAY ;)

Hello Menion,

I'd like to tell my "thanks" and "bravo" for Locus and especially for your support. The both are great!

if you need, I can quick check the issue with never ending loop before you've released the new version.

Glad you like it. I also gladly accept your offer, so if you have a while, here is test version https://getsatisfaction.com/locus/top...

I confirm, that this issue is in Locus Free v. 2.5.0.3 fixed.
