Adventure Lab app leaves current adventure and returns to splash screen after making photos in Android

[+go77]

While using the Adventure Lab app the app does not stay on the next waypoint, but returns to the splash screen and thereafter the map with all Adventure Lab caches in the area after you have left the app for a moment to take a photo or for looking up something on the internet or whatever. This is rather annoying as loading all the caches in the area is unnecessary, takes up a lot of time and costs internet traffic. Moreover, you have to select again the Adventure Lab you were performing and continue with the next waypoint. If this happens time and time again, it is very unpleasant. Can anyone tell me how I can prevent this behaviour, such that the app stays on the screen for the next waypoint of the Adventure Lab I'm doing after returning from another app on the (Android)phone? Would be very grateful for good suggestions!

I moved this thread from the official geocaching apps forum section.

Ah, thanks. I thought I had selected that section...

Sounds like your phone is running low on memory when taking a photo, so offloads the AL app.  Your options are more memory or GS writing the app to handle resuming properly.

 

Wait till you’re out of cell reception and the app you were diligent to preload is unloaded 🤬
