-**IMPORTANT NOTE:** If you have Android 6.0 and higher, battery optimization is used and Android system restrict apps running time in the background. When you turn off display while recording a track in GPX Viewer PRO it may not record anything or record only some points. In this case you need to [[https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/android-basics-disable-doze-app-standby-for-individual-apps-0168960|turn off battery optimization]].

-[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify|Greenify]] app can also kill GPX Viewer PRO while recording so you need to disable battery optimization in Greenify in order for recording to work properly while screen is off.

-You can also use [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartprojects.MemoryLocker|Memory Locker]] and [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.gpslock|GPS Locker]] when you still have issues with track recording. GPS Locker will ensure that when screen is off GPS signal won't be lost so GPX Viewer PRO should record track properly.
