Just bought the htc Desire Android 2.1 phone.
What an amazing piece of technology.
What I want to do is use it to record where I have been on a map. I have downloaded three apps which all purport to do this - OpenGPS, Maverick, and My Tracks. They all do the same thing. They will record my first 5 minutes of travel, and then nothing more is recorded.
Is this because my phone puts itself to sleep after 5 minutes, and the apps stop running? If so, why don't the apps stop the phone sleeping? More to the point, how can I fix the problem?
If this isn't the cause, can anybody tell me what is going on and fix it? All I want is a map display of where I have been that day, nothing too complicated.
Thanks
