Elapsed time versus moving time

Why can moving time be much shorter than the total activity time?

Elapsed time covers the full period from start to finish. Moving time only credits intervals that pass Tam's movement, distance, and GPS-quality checks, so long pauses and uncertain fixes may be excluded. In the current hybrid recorder, background delivery can also be less consistent when the phone is locked, on Low Power or Battery Saver, or enclosed in a bag, so early activities may report gaps or unusually low moving time even when the lock-screen timer continued.

What to do

  1. Check the activity timeline for long pauses.
  2. Review the route and GPS quality around those periods.
  3. Repeat the activity outdoors with normal power settings if the difference looks unreasonable.
