Incoming calls, SMS and low battery warnings cut laptimer!

Whenever I get either an incoming call, sms message, or a low battery warning message on the phone, they stop the laptimer recording as of the time they are received.

I appreciate that it's ideal to have the phone battery fully charged but that's not always possible, and as this warning comes on when it gets down to 20% on an iphone 4, it's a problem. Any solution?

Thanks

Paul

[Moved to "Using LapTimer"]

It is not possible to block a low battery warning issued by iOS. The recommendation is to use an external power supply (please check http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Compatibility.html). Using all the features LapTimer provides requires a lot of energy. And taking care for the battery on track is probably not what you really want to do. :-)

To mute incoming calls, forward them to the mailbox. SMSes should not break operation. Some users with an external GPS even switch the phone to airplane mode and fund on BT selectively for the GPS connection.

Hi, if you have your iPhone on jailbreak, you can use the LowPowerBanner tweak to prevent this low power message to appear. I also turn on Airplane mode. RoqyBT works just fine with that.

Just remove your sim card and run with power supply plugged in.

Issue solved.

Unfortunately not for a Verizon (CDMA) phone.
