Why does my Strava app stop recording?
If your autopause is not automatically resuming: The slower speeds often cause the app to pause frequently and have trouble resuming which will result in recording issues. With autopause disabled, Strava will calculate moving and stopped time during the upload process instead of during the activity.
Do you need data for Strava to record?
While recording there is no data usage unless you’re viewing the maps, or have Live Segments or Beacon turned ON. Otherwise, the app just uses GPS while recording. Once you’ve finished recording the app will need to transfer some data to sync the activity with the Strava servers.
Does Strava record automatically?
All your personal records on Strava will need to be manually entered by you. They’re not automatically generated.
Does Strava count when stopped?
As long as your device is recording conventional pauses, Strava will respect any pauses recorded in the file whether your device pauses automatically or you manually hit the pause button. Again, even though elapsed time may be the same, Strava may calculate moving time differently than other platforms.
How do I make Strava more accurate?
Settings > Additional Settings > Battery & performance > Manage apps battery usage > apps > Strava. Settings > Additional Settings > Privacy > Location > ensure you are using High Accuracy for Location Mode and allowing location access.
What does Strava do with your data?
Strava, the mobile fitness app used by cyclists and runners to track their performance with GPS, is selling the personal data of its users to governments to help urban planners improve bike routes. The Oregon Department of Transportation has already signed up for the Strava Metro service, paying $20,000 for the data.
How secure is Strava?
Strava engages providers that are industry leaders in online security, including Services verification, to strengthen the security of our Services. The Services are registered with site identification authorities so that your browser can confirm Strava’s identity before any personal information is sent.
How does Strava record my Moving time?
When recording running activities, Strava uses your device’s accelerometer to detect running motion. You can completely control your moving time when recording a run with the Strava mobile app by manually pausing the app whenever you want to rest. If you choose this option but are inconsistent, you might end up an inflated moving time.
How do I enable auto-pause on the Strava app?
The Strava app can auto-pause for both running and cycling activities. Auto-pause can be enabled or disabled in the app settings. When cycling with auto-pause enabled, the app will pause when you stop moving and resume recording when you start moving again.
Why is my elevation data on Strava smoothed?
Elevation data on Strava is smoothed to take out noise— we have a ‘threshold’ where climbing needs to occur consistently for more than 10 meters for activities without strong barometric data or two meters for an activity with barometric data before it is added to the total elevation gain.
Why is my activity on Strava showing a false positive?
When recording cycling activities, Strava relies on GPS data to determine whether or not you are moving. A bad GPS connection could lead to false positives if your activity’s GPS data tells Strava that you are moving when you aren’t.
