Optimize your Android device settings for reliable location tracking. Covers GPS modes, battery optimization exceptions, and background location permissions.

Fix "NETWORK provider disabled" errors in Xopoz power save mode. Explains GPS vs Network providers and how to enable both for uninterrupted tracking.

Diagnose and fix cases where Android silently terminates Xopoz GPS tracking. Includes ADB diagnostic commands and step-by-step analysis of app killing causes.

Technical report on GPS tracking gaps specific to Google Pixel 7 devices. Explains Android doze mode interference, Tensor G2 sensor limitations, and available workarounds.

What survives a reinstall (account, teams, encrypted positions on the server) and what doesn't (team encryption keys, local trail, cached tiles). Explains how the local-only key model works and the QR-scan recovery path to restore decryption after a fresh install or a switch to a new phone.

Why the compass behaves erratically in metros, buses, and cars. Covers electromagnetic interference, sensor fusion, and how Xopoz automatically switches to GPS-based bearing.

Why Xopoz cannot display AirTag, Samsung SmartTag, or similar commercial tracking device locations. Explains closed ecosystems and practical Xopoz-native alternatives.

GPS still works in airplane mode because the GPS receiver is passive. Covers what continues to function, how to pre-cache maps, and the queue-and-flush model for offline position sync.

Why the map freezes mid-flight even though airplane mode does not disable GPS. Covers Faraday-cage shielding, CoCom speed/altitude limits, the window-seat rule, carbon-fibre fuselages, and the same physics on high-speed trains. Includes engineering references.

Four layers of control: the dual privacy switches inside Xopoz (record locally vs share with team), intraday tracking windows, the dedicated top-right power button (with "short-short-long" vibration confirmation), and the cross-app recipe to stop the phone itself from estimating any position. Engineering primer on why GPS-off + airplane mode is practically — but not strictly — 100 %.
