Hi, I know how important it is for your app to run smoothly in the background without losing GPS tracking in any situation. Do you sometimes feel frustrated with location interruptions or device-specific issues ruining user experience? I get how tricky it can be to keep a stable, device-agnostic GPS tracking system especially in China’s custom OS environments. I will develop a solid offline demo with continuous GPS collection, accurate trail visualization, and stable background operation, even in low power mode, on Huawei, Xiaomi, and other Chinese devices. I’ll make sure to log each state change (moving or stationary), the tracking intervals, and timestamps so you can easily verify the app’s performance. For the main app, I will handle user login, real-time chat with your chosen IM SDK, and map integration via AMap as needed, making everything straightforward and well integrated. I will also prepare full documentation and source code, plus support after launch to help you grow confidently. Let’s chat about the detailed plan and work towards building something bigger together. I believe clear communication and quality work save time and boost your project’s success. Looking forward to discussing your ideas and making them real. Regards, Nick

I can help with this, I will build the offline Android demo first — continuous GPS tracking at 5-second moving and 15-second stationary intervals, with real-time route drawing on a map, verified under lock screen, background, and battery-saver modes on Huawei and Xiaomi devices. For Chinese Android OEMs, I will implement vendor-specific workarounds — Huawei's PowerGenie whitelisting, Xiaomi autostart permissions, and OPPO/Vivo battery optimization exclusions — using a foreground service with a persistent notification to prevent the OS from killing the process. This is where most tracking apps fail silently. I confirm I am willing to build the demo as the first step. Questions: 1) For the demo, do you have specific Huawei EMUI and Xiaomi MIUI versions you will test against? Looking forward to discussing further. Best regards, Kamran

Hi there, We understand the core challenge is building a background GPS service that survives aggressive task killing on Chinese Android ROMs. Your demo-first approach validates this critical component, which differentiates user states (moving/stationary) to optimize polling. Once proven, this engine becomes the heart of the Flutter social app, enabling LBS partner discovery, NetEase Yunxin-powered chat, and activity logging. Technical approach: The demo will use a Flutter foreground service with platform-specific code to handle wakelocks and battery exemptions on EMUI/MIUI. Phase 1 will feature a PHP backend, PostgreSQL with PostGIS for efficient geospatial queries, and native integration of the NetEase/AMap SDKs. Core modules: - Resilient GPS Engine: A persistent background service adapting its poll interval based on speed, with transparent logging. - LBS Matching: Efficient backend geospatial indexing and querying for nearby user discovery. - IM & User Sync: Linking our PHP user system with NetEase Yunxin for real-time chat. - Activity Logging: Capturing route data from the GPS engine and rendering it on AMap. We have deep experience with Android's location APIs and vendor-specific power management challenges. We are ready to build the required offline demo as the first step. Regards, Rohit

Hi I can build the sports and chatting app with Flutter for iOS/Android, PHP backend, AMap route rendering, NetEase Yunxin IM integration, SMS login, LBS nearby users, profiles, and activity tracking. The main technical challenge is stable background GPS tracking on Chinese Android devices, where Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and Honor battery policies can interrupt location updates even when standard Android code looks correct. I would solve this with foreground services, precise location permissions, wake-lock strategy where appropriate, vendor-specific battery guidance, movement-state logic, persistent logging, and real-device testing. For the offline demo, I am willing to build the GPS tracking prototype with 5-second moving updates, 15-second stationary updates, speed-based state detection, visible logs, and route drawing on the map. For Phase 1, I can structure the app around clean Flutter modules, secure PHP APIs, MySQL schema design, Yunxin user binding, nearby-user queries, and sports activity records. I can also handle app-store readiness for iOS and major Chinese Android channels, including permission descriptions and background-location compliance. My focus will be stable long-term tracking, clean documented code, and reliable integration between location, chat, profiles, and backend services. Thanks, Hercules

Hi, I read the requirements carefully and I'm comfortable with the first offline Android GPS tracking demo before moving into the full Phase 1 app. I have experience building Flutter mobile apps with location tracking, route drawing, background services, user profiles, chat/messaging flows, API integration, and app store deployment. For this demo, I can build an offline Android prototype that collects GPS continuously, switches between moving and stationary intervals, draws the route on the map, and keeps logs visible with state, interval, timestamp, and accuracy. For Chinese Android devices, I understand this needs more than normal Android background location setup. Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and Honor often require foreground services, battery optimization handling, auto-start guidance, permission handling, and vendor-specific testing to keep tracking stable under lock screen and battery-saving modes. I can provide the source code, build steps, and a short testing video as requested. For Phase 1, I can handle the Flutter app, PHP backend architecture, API design, database schema, AMap route rendering, SMS login, nearby users, profiles, sports tracking, and NetEase Yunxin IM integration. Best regards. Daniel
