Dual XGPS160 Times Out between sessions

I recently bought a Dual XGPS160 to use with Laptimer. I found the Bluetooth connection between the Dual XGPS160 and the phone depends on having Laptimer being the active-displayed app on the phone. Apparently Laptimer has the "helper" function to enable the Bluetooth connection between th...

Re: Heat, Power-shortage, Video Quality -SOLVED

If the car lighter socket would stay ON with the ignition OFF, I probably wouldn't need the Battery Pack. I bought a couple of 2 amp cigarette lighter adaptors, but the Android phone still slowly draines the phone battery when recording with the Laptimer. Also with the power supply, I can leave the ...

Heat, Power-shortage, Video Quality -SOLVED

I run Laptimer whenever I am on the track. A Best Lap Time or interesting traffic can happen at any time. But phone-overheating and fast battery discharge are problems with extended use. OVER-HEATING Smart Phones will overheat and shut down while recording videos in direct sunlight through your wind...

Three questions . . you said 2) Next time you run into this issue, try dragging the trigger to the outer tracks limit or even beyond. 1. is that done before or after the track event ? and where in the interface is this done ? 2. I just bought a Dual XGPS160n external GPS sensor. Will that help ? 3. ...

The existing RAW video on this p...

Re: All Colors in overlay shifted upward in video

Changing the setting to "Force Software Encoding" fixed the problem on the V5.1.1. phone. I didn't actually time the overlay process, but it did not seem to take any longer than it did before I checked that box.

Thanks

Re: All Colors in overlay shifted upward in video

The GS5 WITH the problem has Android 5.1.1
The GS5 WITHOUT the problem has version 4.4.4 This is the phone that is only used for the Laptimer so it doesn't get updated.

I will work on the settings in the earlier post.

(he bought LapTimer for his iPhone 6 but it doesn't have enough memory) The overlay video on the GS5 phone he was using has all colors ghosti...

The "Long Track" at BIR worked last year, but not this year.

There are 2 tracks at BIR (Brainerd International Raceway) Many of the HPDE events drive the "Short Track" in the morning and the "Long Track" in the afternoon. The long track overlays most of the short track. Last year I had no problems with Lap timer loading the second track fo...
