Speed Cameras No Audio Warnings When Phone is Locked
Since a few weeks it only gives warnings when the phone is unlocked. Here's what I have tried so far:
- Updated Android OS
- Removed App deleted app data and reinstalled with latest version 1.16.2
- Disabled BT on phone
- Set sound output to Device selected or Device Speaker (tried both)
- Under Device MAintenance - Battery set Speed Camera to be an unmonitored app. Seems like this should have fixed it as when I unlock the phone Seed Camera starts searching for GPS signal as though it was asleep - this only takes a second as the phone has a good signal.
Any ideas most welcome.

Finally found the problem, I post this in case others have it.
Issue is with an Andoird update -- the power saving now turns off the GPS when the phone is locked. So TomTom gets no position info to give audible warnings. Fix is as follows:
Settings > Device Maintenance >Battery (icon bottom left). Set Power Saving Mode to OFF.
Jürgen - suggested enhancements -- Check power saving on startup (CamSam does this)
- (Unrelated to this issue) -- "warn when speeding" - it nags every time I am 1 mph over the limit. Give option to warn only when 5% ot 10% over the limit.
