On some Huawei phones, the Decathlon Outdoor app may be stopped automatically in the background. This interrupts GPS tracking, stops your recordings, and makes your data (duration, distance, route) incorrect. Here is how to adjust your settings for reliable tracking.
Why does GPS stop?
Huawei phones use battery optimization settings that close background apps. When Decathlon Outdoor is stopped, GPS tracking is interrupted.
Steps to fix the problem
-
Open your phone Settings
-
Go to Apps > App launch
-
Find Decathlon Outdoor
-
Uncheck Manage automatically
-
Make sure all options remain checked in Manage manually
-
Confirm with OK
Useful tip
Disable the battery saver from the notification bar. It can reduce GPS accuracy and stop tracking. Decathlon Outdoor is already optimized for battery use.
If the problem persists
If GPS still stops despite these settings, please contact our support via the form in the app or web.
