Hmm, that is VERY strange, since 44 and 45 is functionally the same here, only the UI is different (i.e. daemon code is identical - except that you can set the timeout), 44 has a different UI (pull down menu rather than 2 checkboxes - but they set the same values) and 30 seconds are hardcoded.

At least, that's what's supposed to happen.... maybe there is an issue w. the default of the timeout or something....

I would suggest you re-test 45 in verbose mode, i.e. open XTerm and type

Code:
python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -v
...and read that after 30 seconds it should say one of
a) "A good location fix was acquired within the timeout: Good"
or
b) "No fix acquired for X seconds - doing a forced location push"

EITHER WAY, at that point it should turn the GPS back off.

Let me know if that happens or not. It sure happens here...!!

Ah, right. The code tries to get your profile image before you are authorized.... apparently, facebook still returns SOMETHING in that case (the other services just causes an error, which my code handles, but it seems that facebook gives some odd result, and then my code tries to load that as an image)... anyhoo... fixable.

Updated to v45 and started Zaploc from X-term.
Code:
~ $ python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -v
Starting ZapLoc daemon...
Location method: GPS only
30 minutes between samples
12:02:46: Starting GPS...
12:02:47: Actual GPS interval 75 minutes (low battery!)
12:02:47: Got loc data xx.388344,yy.100560 (acc nan), Mode 1 (Estimate) - IGNORED
12:02:48: Got loc data xx.388344,yy.100560 (acc 404.265000), head nan, speed nan, Mode 2 (Cell-tower), Try 0
12:02:48: Sample mode 2 (Cell-tower) - IGNORED
12:03:02: Got loc data xx.388344,yy.100560 (acc 404.265000), head nan, speed nan, Mode 2 (Cell-tower), Try 0
12:03:02: Sample mode 2 (Cell-tower) - IGNORED
12:03:17: No fix acquired for 30 seconds - doing a forced location push!
12:03:17: Got loc data xx.388344,yy.100560 (acc 404.265000), head nan, speed nan, Mode 2 (Cell-tower), Try 0
12:03:17: Sample mode 2 (Cell-tower) - IGNORED
12:03:17: Force-Sleeping [*bonk!*].... Zzzzzz
12:03:20: Got loc data xx.388344,yy.100560 (acc 404.265000), Mode 0 (Cached) - IGNORED
Seems that working OK from command line. Then started Zaploc via menu icon and enabled background updates.

Code:
4335 user 50076 S /usr/bin/python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -d
Then GPS is all the time ON.

Just dumb question to be sure, but you closed ZapLoc itself, right? That also uses the GPS.

This is incredibly strange, because there is no functional difference whatsoever between you running the daemon on the command line, and starting it in background.... it's the exact same code doing the same thing (except the background mode doesn't print out a bunch of crap to nowhere)

Very Very Strange. Especially if you see a difference w. version 44, because there IS no difference in the daemon (except it reads the number "30" from the config file instead of being hardcoded) ....

Edit: Actually I found a bug in that code, it DOESN'T read it properly from the config file, it is ALWAYS 30 seconds. Which means there is even less of a difference!!!

Sorry, I have zero explanation what is going on :(

Zaploc is closed and there is no other application using GPS. Only zaploc-daemon is running in background.
Code:
4335 user 50076 S /usr/bin/python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -d

This is very strange. As I said in the edit above, a bug causes 45 daemon NOT to read the fix timeout correctly. Which means it is always 30 seconds. Which means... it is completley identical 100% to build 44.

I don't quite understand why you find a difference :(

Code:
python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -v
This seems to put GSP in sleep.

Code:
python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -d
Keeps GSP on all the time.

Edit:
Code:
python /opt/zaploc/zaploc-daemon.py -d -v
With both options "-d" and "-v", it put GSP to sleep???

That's... odd. Very very very very very very very very very odd.

What about without the "-v"? (Only difference is it should print less crap than with "-v")

Very nice application and it works quite well, but why all selection buttons are empty/without any text? Anyone else seen this?

GSP never enter sleep mode. With -v it goes to sleep. Strange?!?
