My otherwise lovely smartphone, my Samsung Galaxy S3, has been playing up of late in the crashing and freezing department. Could it be the alleged Android 4.1.2 bug? Maybe.
Factory reset didn't resolve it.
The last straw was last Thursday when it crashed just towards the end of a 1.5 hour run, thereby stuffing up my Runstatic app stats for that session.
So off to the repairers for my SGS3, and I've dusted off my old HD Desire HD running Android 2.3.5. But there's a problem: the GPS on this is hopeless relative to the same on my SGS3. It has great difficulty in picking up and holding a decent GPS signal - unless perhaps I'm holding it high above my head as I run, which ain't going to happen. Therefore it's wildly inaccurate for tracking my training sessions.
Until I get my SGS3 back, all I can do is to ensure that I'm putting the right training times in, without knowing too much about distance and speed... unless I want to go pre-GPS "old school" and attempt to work it out a bit more manually and after each event. No deal!
