My battery drains too fast
Does your battery drain too fast when you use Wikiloc?
We have identified some cases in which the battery lasts very little.
We are investigating the problem to improve its performance but for now, here are some possible causes:
- The element that spends the most battery is the screen. Try using it less and to lower the brightness to a minimum.
- To ensure the quality of the tracks, Wikiloc asks to activate location services in high precision mode. This configuration can activate the WiFi and the data, which can spend more battery. Try disconnecting the WiFi or activating airplane mode and follow the trail offline.
- Your mobile is using other apps in the background while recording a trail.
- Your device has a hardware problem. We recommend you to download the GPSTest app to identify possible issues.
