Phone call strangeness

[pvogel]

Today while commuting in to work, I had to join a call about 2 miles from the office. I initiated the call from my bluetooth headset, the phone app took over, I rode about .25 miles while things connected and so forth, then I stopped to participate in the call for about 15 minutes. Went back to iBike app and continued my ride. Everything on-screen *appeared* to be normal as I rode the rest of the way in, but when I sent the ride file to myself I noticed that I was 1.5-1.75 miles shy of the actual ride mileage (~11 miles instead of 12.7 miles).

Any idea what may have happened? I've *received* and made calls before with no apparent loss of data, this is the first time there's obvious data loss from the ride. I think the only thing different this time is that I started the call with my bluetooth headset instead of the home button on the phone in the phonebooth.

One other thing I've noticed is that if I leave iBike *once* to switch to the phone app and then return to the iBike and resume, everything seems to be fine, but if I leave iBike *twice* (i.e. to switch to the phone app to turn off/on mute) then iBike ends the current ride and starts a new ride. Annoying, but not data loss.

Any word on when the App update is expected?

Right now, when the iBike app is exited, data that recorded while the iBike app is "off" is lost.

The next release of the app, due out very soon (we're beta testing it now) will add background recording. It is very cool!

Need another beta tester? I use the iBike daily and frequently need to switch apps during my commute to/from work (usually stopping to do it so I'd definitely exercise the new stuff well!
