I recently found this app and got it all set up, along with the importing a bunch of older tracks from other tracking apps (Moves, Arc App from iPhone). I think I overdid it with the number of tracks (years worth) because the UI got very sluggish. So I deleted all the sessions and figured I’d just stick with the current track.
However since doing this, none of the sessions I try to make are persistent. I make a session and start logging, and the next I visit the PhoneTrack app, it’s gone. I have tried uninstallling the app but each time it’s the same issue.
Has anyone noticed something similar or have any advice on fixing it?
I tried again yesterday to create a new session, but got a “session with that name exists” message. So I created one with another name and uploaded all the data from uLogger that I have linked. Everything shows up fine and and updates as long as the tab is kept open. But as soon as I have to reload the tab, the session is once again gone.
From the “name exists” error message, as well as the fact that uLogger is continuing to upload, it seems clear that the sessions are in fact still present. But the web UI does not have access to them to display (no sessions are visible in the “manually add point” section either)
The screenshots above look like there simply is no session, but there is an active session, syncing from uLogger is working fine, and daily exports are (mostly) working.
But I can’t view the session, I can’t modify it or change properties, I can’t delete it, and I can’t export any of the data.
I have tried multiple times to delete the app, but obviously not all data is deleted and something is persisting between these installs that keeps creating this issue.
Does anyone know how I’d go about manually purging the app’s data, database, or any other settings? Or know of some other method of getting around this?
Update 2025-01-24. I do not actually want to delete or purge all PhoneTrack data without first exporting the couple months of saved data there. Though I have daily exports enabled, there are gaps in the days where PhoneTrack wasn’t connecting to my server (those days aren’t exported) and some issues with dates on some of the exports. So I’d like to export everything there before starting again.
It’s clear that the session exists and is active. Daily exports are continuing as originally configured. But I still cannot see or edit the session in the UI.
I have a similar problem with the web interface.
Tracks driven are not displayed after opening the Phonetrack GUI. But when I click on “Center map on device” in the left side window the elevation profile appears in the map window. If I then move the elevation cursor there, the desired track appears on the map.
Another solution could be to set minimum distance and minimum time for separating the data points to zero.
@tuxfanx I believe your issue is different than mine. In my case there are no sessions visible whatsoever. So no controls, no tracks, no options or anything. I wish I was able to view and access session options!
