I am facing the same issue

[bhammack]

I had this same issue, and was able to resolve it by configuring my device settings according to https://dontkillmyapp.com/, as Samsung's "nifty battery optimizing mode" was pausing the background service which disabled location updates

@bhammack didn't work for me. My app does get location updates in the background indefinitely, but it does not store those in the the local-db, nor does it post with ajax to the server.
