Hello everybody,

I am a french paraglider, I fly in South Burgundy and in the Alps.
I used to fly with a copy of Vertica with version 4 and 5 since 2014.
Last winter I had a cable connection issue with the "Vertica" so I switched to an old smartphone (Motorola E 1st Gen) with LK8000 Android 6.1r version.

At the beginning I was very excited to use this android version , it worked perfectly fine but one month later some glitches appeared on the track. Soon after, there weren't some glitches but the whole track was made of glitches.

I still don't understand why there are these problems. I suspected the vario and my phone (that are close to my Moto E) but sometimes in the same day for short flights there is no problem and for bigger flights the track is awfull (like this late saturday).

Is anyone has already encountered this kind of problem ?

You are right, I should use XCsoar to compare.

XCSoar and lk8000 share same code base for internal GPS, it's better to try with another like XCTrack or FlyMe ...

I changed for a Samsung S3 and LK8000 runs perfectly. I gave the Moto to my dad and I installed XCtrack on it. So once he flies one hour at least (on some short flights the glitches do not appear) I would be able to check the shape of the track if there is the problem again (software or hardware problem)

Thanks to the community !!
