fix: critical bugs preventing location reporting to server

- Send config to native before starting tracking (SharedPreferences sync)
- Register ConnectivityReceiver for network state detection
- Fix Settings number fields using TextEditingControllers
- Cancel stream subscription on widget dispose (memory leak)
- Replace WorkManager with AlarmManager for heartbeat
- Add log cleanup for logs older than 24 hours
- Change HTTP method from GET to POST

These fixes resolve the 'device always offline' issue where:
1. Config was not being sent to native service
2. ConnectivityReceiver was never registered
3. Settings number fields were not saving
4. Heartbeat never fired due to WorkManager process isolation
5. Server expected POST not GET

+# Traccar Client Bug Report: Location Data Not Reaching Server
+
+**Date**: April 30, 2026
+**Status**: Investigating
+
+## Issue Summary
+
+The Traccar Client app shows the device as **always offline** and no location reports reach the self-hosted Traccar server, even when:
+- The correct Device ID is set and registered on the server
+- The correct Server URL is configured
+- The tracking toggle is ON
+- The "Send Location" button appears to work
+
+## Root Causes Identified
+
+### Critical Bugs
+
+#### 1. Heartbeat Never Fires (Process Isolation Issue)
+
+**File**: `lib/bridge/location_bridge.dart` (Dart) and `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/location/HeartbeatScheduler.kt`
+
+**Problem**: The `HeartbeatWorker` runs in a separate process via Android WorkManager. When it executes, the static `onHeartbeatCallback` variable is always `null` because companion object static variables are not shared across process boundaries.
+
+```kotlin
+// HeartbeatScheduler.kt
+class HeartbeatWorker(...) : Worker(...) {
+    override fun doWork(): Result {
+        onHeartbeatCallback?.invoke()  // Always null!
+        return Result.success()
+    }
+}
+
+companion object {
+    var onHeartbeatCallback: (() -> Unit)? = null  // Not shared across processes
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Heartbeat locations are never sent, causing the device to appear offline after initial connection wears off.
+
+---
+
+#### 2. ConnectivityReceiver Never Registered
+
+**File**: `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/service/LocationTrackingService.kt`
+
+**Problem**: The `ConnectivityReceiver` is created in `onCreate()` but **never registered** with the system. The code creates the receiver but doesn't call `registerReceiver()`.
+
+```kotlin
+// LocationTrackingService.kt - onCreate()
+connectivityReceiver = ConnectivityReceiver { online ->
+    isNetworkAvailable = online
+    logEvent("NETWORK_CHANGE", "Network: ${if (online) "online" else "offline"}")
+    if (online) syncBufferedLocations()
+}
+// MISSING: registerReceiver(connectivityReceiver, intentFilter)
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- Network state is never detected
+- When the app goes offline, buffered locations are never synced when connectivity returns
+- App never knows if it's online or offline
+
+---
+
+#### 3. Timestamp Format Mismatch
+
+**File**: `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/network/TraccarHttpClient.kt`
+
+**Problem**: The code sends timestamps as epoch milliseconds (e.g., `1704067200000`), but Traccar expects **ISO 8601 format** (e.g., `2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z`).
+
+```kotlin
+// TraccarHttpClient.kt:55-61
+return "$baseUrl/?" +
+    // ...
+    "&timestamp=$timestamp"  // Sends: 1704067200000
+    // Should send: 2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
+```
+
+**Impact**: Server may ignore or misinterpret timestamps, causing positions to not appear correctly on the timeline or be rejected entirely.
+
+---
+
+### Important Bugs (From Code Review)
+
+#### 4. Memory Leak - Stream Subscription Never Cancelled
+
+**File**: `lib/main_screen.dart:52-67`
+
+```dart
+Future<void> _initLocationStream() async {
+    // ...
+    LocationBridge.locationUpdates.listen((location) {  // Subscription created
+        // ...
+    });
+    // MISSING: dispose() never cancels this subscription
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Memory leak that accumulates over time, especially when navigating away and back to the screen.
+
+---
+
+#### 5. Settings Number Fields Never Save
+
+**File**: `lib/settings_screen.dart:149-174`
+
+**Problem**: `_buildNumberField()` uses `initialValue` (which creates an internal controller) and `onSaved` callback. However, `_saveSettings()` never calls `formKey.currentState.save()`, so the `onSaved` callbacks at lines 161-172 **never execute**.
+
+```dart
+// settings_screen.dart
+Future<void> _saveSettings() async {
+    await Preferences.setServerUrl(_serverUrlController.text);
+    await Preferences.setDeviceId(_deviceIdController.text);
+    // ... number fields use onSaved but form.save() is never called!
+    await LocationBridge.updateConfig({...});
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Distance Filter, Update Interval, and Heartbeat settings are silently ignored when saving. The UI shows the new values but they aren't persisted.
+
+---
+
+#### 6. Distance Filter May Block All Updates
+
+**File**: `lib/bridge/location_bridge.dart` (Android side: `DistanceFilterProcessor.kt`)
+
+**Problem**: With default `distanceFilter = 75` meters, if the device is stationary or moving less than 75m, **all locations are filtered out**. The `intervalFilter` only serves as a fallback when distance filter would reject, not as a primary interval mechanism.
+
+**Impact**: Stationary devices or devices in slow-moving traffic may not send any location updates.
+
+---
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+To diagnose where the flow breaks, check the **Status/Logs** screen in the app:
+
+| Log Entry | Color | Meaning |
+|-----------|-------|---------|
+| `LOCATION` | Green | Location received from GPS |
+| `SYNC` | Cyan | Location successfully sent to server |
+| `ERROR` | Red | Failed to send location |
+| `FILTERED` | Grey | Location rejected by distance/interval filter |
+| `NETWORK_CHANGE` | White | Network state changed |
+
+**Questions**:
+1. Do you see `LOCATION` entries?
+2. Do you see `SYNC` entries after `LOCATION`?
+3. Do you see any `ERROR` entries?
+4. Do you see `NETWORK_CHANGE` entries?
+
+---
+
+## Files Affected
+
+### Dart/Flutter Files
+- `lib/main_screen.dart` - Memory leak, optimistic toggle
+- `lib/settings_screen.dart` - Number fields not saving
+- `lib/status_screen.dart` - OK
+- `lib/preferences.dart` - OK
+- `lib/bridge/location_bridge.dart` - OK
+- `lib/main.dart` - OK
+
+### Android/Kotlin Files
+- `android/.../location/HeartbeatScheduler.kt` - Heartbeat never fires
+- `android/.../service/LocationTrackingService.kt` - ConnectivityReceiver not registered
+- `android/.../network/TraccarHttpClient.kt` - Timestamp format wrong
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+The device appears offline because:
+
+1. **Heartbeat locations are never sent** - WorkManager process isolation breaks the callback mechanism
+2. **Buffered locations are never synced** - ConnectivityReceiver was never registered
+3. **Timestamps may be malformed** - Server may reject positions due to timestamp format
+
+**Recommendation**: Fix the three critical bugs (Heartbeat, ConnectivityReceiver, Timestamp) first, then re-test. Check the Status/Logs screen to confirm which stage the flow is breaking at.

+# Traccar Client Bug Fixes Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Fix all critical bugs preventing location data from reaching the Traccar server, plus important memory leaks and usability issues.
+
+**Architecture:** The app uses Flutter for UI with a native Kotlin service for background location tracking. Flutter communicates with native via MethodChannel/EventChannel. Settings are stored in SharedPreferences (Flutter side) and must be synced to native SharedPreferences before starting the tracking service.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Flutter 3.11+, Kotlin, Android FusedLocationProvider, Room Database, OkHttp
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+### Files to Modify
+
+| File | Responsibility | Tasks |
+|------|---------------|-------|
+| `lib/main_screen.dart` | Main UI, tracking toggle | Task 1, 4 |
+| `lib/settings_screen.dart` | Settings form | Task 3 |
+| `lib/bridge/location_bridge.dart` | Flutter-Native bridge | Task 1 |
+| `android/.../service/LocationTrackingService.kt` | Background tracking service | Task 2, 5, 6 |
+| `android/.../location/HeartbeatScheduler.kt` | Heartbeat scheduling | Task 5 |
+| `android/.../storage/EventLogDao.kt` | Event log database | Task 6 |
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Fix SharedPreferences Sync - Send Config Before Starting Tracking
+
+**Problem:** When tracking starts, the native service reads from empty SharedPreferences and uses default `https://demo.traccar.org` instead of the user's configured server.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `lib/main_screen.dart:74-98`
+- Modify: `lib/bridge/location_bridge.dart:15-25`
+- Reference: `lib/preferences.dart` (read current values)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Modify LocationBridge.startTracking to accept config parameter**
+
+Edit `lib/bridge/location_bridge.dart`:
+
+```dart
+static Future<bool> startTracking({Map<String, dynamic>? config}) async {
+  debugPrint('LocationBridge.startTracking called with config: $config');
+  try {
+    // First sync config to native if provided
+    if (config != null) {
+      await _methodChannel.invokeMethod('updateConfig', config);
+    }
+    final result = await _methodChannel.invokeMethod<bool>('startTracking');
+    debugPrint('LocationBridge.startTracking result: $result');
+    return result ?? false;
+  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
+    debugPrint('LocationBridge.startTracking failed: ${e.message}');
+    return false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update main_screen.dart to pass current config when starting tracking**
+
+Edit `lib/main_screen.dart`, replace the `_toggleTracking` method:
+
+```dart
+Future<void> _toggleTracking() async {
+  final previousState = _isTracking;
+  final newState = !_isTracking;
+
+  setState(() {
+    _isTracking = newState;
+  });
+
+  bool success;
+  if (newState) {
+    // Send current config to native before starting
+    final config = {
+      'serverUrl': Preferences.serverUrl,
+      'deviceId': Preferences.deviceId,
+      'accuracy': Preferences.accuracy,
+      'distanceFilter': Preferences.distanceFilter,
+      'interval': Preferences.interval,
+      'heartbeat': Preferences.heartbeat,
+      'offlineBuffer': Preferences.offlineBuffer,
+      'stopDetection': Preferences.stopDetection,
+    };
+    success = await LocationBridge.startTracking(config: config);
+  } else {
+    success = await LocationBridge.stopTracking();
+  }
+
+  if (!success && mounted) {
+    setState(() {
+      _isTracking = previousState;
+    });
+    ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
+      SnackBar(
+        content: Text(previousState ? 'Failed to stop tracking' : 'Failed to start tracking'),
+      ),
+    );
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add import for Preferences at top of main_screen.dart**
+
+Edit `lib/main_screen.dart`, add import after line 1:
+
+```dart
+import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
+import 'package:traccar_client/bridge/location_bridge.dart';
+import 'package:traccar_client/preferences.dart';
+import 'package:traccar_client/settings_screen.dart';
+import 'package:traccar_client/status_screen.dart';
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Test manually**
+
+1. Set your server URL in Settings
+2. Tap "Start Tracking"
+3. Check Status/Logs screen for "SYNC" entries
+4. Check your Traccar server - device should now appear online
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add lib/main_screen.dart lib/bridge/location_bridge.dart
+git commit -m "fix: sync config to native before starting tracking
+
+The native service was reading from empty SharedPreferences and using
+the default demo.traccar.org server instead of the user's configured
+server URL. Now we explicitly send the config via MethodChannel before
+starting the tracking service."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Fix ConnectivityReceiver Registration
+
+**Problem:** The ConnectivityReceiver is created but never registered with the system, so network state changes are never detected.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/service/LocationTrackingService.kt:63-78` and `102-106`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add IntentFilter import at top of LocationTrackingService.kt**
+
+Edit `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/service/LocationTrackingService.kt`, add import after line 9:
+
+```kotlin
+import android.content.IntentFilter
+import android.net.ConnectivityManager
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Register the ConnectivityReceiver in onCreate()**
+
+Edit `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/service/LocationTrackingService.kt`, replace lines 71-78:
+
+```kotlin
+        connectivityReceiver = ConnectivityReceiver { online ->
+            isNetworkAvailable = online
+            logEvent("NETWORK_CHANGE", "Network: ${if (online) "online" else "offline"}")
+            if (online) syncBufferedLocations()
+        }
+        
+        // Register the connectivity receiver
+        val intentFilter = IntentFilter(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION)
+        registerReceiver(connectivityReceiver, intentFilter)
+        
+        // Initialize network state
+        isNetworkAvailable = ConnectivityReceiver.isNetworkAvailable(this)
+
+        createNotificationChannel()
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Unregister the ConnectivityReceiver in onDestroy()**
+
+Edit `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/service/LocationTrackingService.kt`, replace lines 102-106:
+
+```kotlin
+    override fun onDestroy() {
+        super.onDestroy()
+        try {
+            unregisterReceiver(connectivityReceiver)
+        } catch (e: IllegalArgumentException) {
+            // Receiver was not registered
+            Log.w(TAG, "ConnectivityReceiver was not registered", e)
+        }
+        stopTracking()
+        serviceScope.cancel()
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Build and verify no compile errors**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug
+```
+Expected: BUILD SUCCESSFUL
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/service/LocationTrackingService.kt
+git commit -m "fix: register ConnectivityReceiver for network state detection
+
+The ConnectivityReceiver was created but never registered with the
+system. Now it properly registers in onCreate() and unregisters in
+onDestroy(). Also initializes the network state on startup."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Fix Settings Number Fields Not Saving
+
+**Problem:** TextFormField with `initialValue` creates an internal controller. The `onSaved` callbacks require `form.save()` which is never called, so user edits to Distance Filter, Interval, and Heartbeat are ignored.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `lib/settings_screen.dart`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add TextEditingControllers for number fields**
+
+Edit `lib/settings_screen.dart`, replace the class state variables (lines 12-20):
+
+```dart
+class _SettingsScreenState extends State<SettingsScreen> {
+  late TextEditingController _serverUrlController;
+  late TextEditingController _deviceIdController;
+  late TextEditingController _distanceFilterController;
+  late TextEditingController _intervalController;
+  late TextEditingController _heartbeatController;
+  late int _accuracy;
+  late bool _offlineBuffer;
+  late bool _stopDetection;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Initialize the new controllers in initState()**
+
+Edit `lib/settings_screen.dart`, replace initState() (lines 22-33):
+
+```dart
+  @override
+  void initState() {
+    super.initState();
+    _serverUrlController = TextEditingController(text: Preferences.serverUrl);
+    _deviceIdController = TextEditingController(text: Preferences.deviceId);
+    _distanceFilterController = TextEditingController(text: Preferences.distanceFilter.toString());
+    _intervalController = TextEditingController(text: Preferences.interval.toString());
+    _heartbeatController = TextEditingController(text: Preferences.heartbeat.toString());
+    _accuracy = Preferences.accuracy;
+    _offlineBuffer = Preferences.offlineBuffer;
+    _stopDetection = Preferences.stopDetection;
+  }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Dispose the new controllers**
+
+Edit `lib/settings_screen.dart`, replace dispose() (lines 35-40):
+
+```dart
+  @override
+  void dispose() {
+    _serverUrlController.dispose();
+    _deviceIdController.dispose();
+    _distanceFilterController.dispose();
+    _intervalController.dispose();
+    _heartbeatController.dispose();
+    super.dispose();
+  }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update _saveSettings() to read from controllers**
+
+Edit `lib/settings_screen.dart`, replace _saveSettings() (lines 42-68):
+
+```dart
+  Future<void> _saveSettings() async {
+    // Parse number fields with validation
+    final distanceFilter = int.tryParse(_distanceFilterController.text) ?? 75;
+    final interval = int.tryParse(_intervalController.text) ?? 300;
+    final heartbeat = int.tryParse(_heartbeatController.text) ?? 60;
+
+    await Preferences.setServerUrl(_serverUrlController.text);
+    await Preferences.setDeviceId(_deviceIdController.text);
+    await Preferences.setAccuracy(_accuracy);
+    await Preferences.setDistanceFilter(distanceFilter);
+    await Preferences.setInterval(interval);
+    await Preferences.setHeartbeat(heartbeat);
+    await Preferences.setOfflineBuffer(_offlineBuffer);
+    await Preferences.setStopDetection(_stopDetection);
+
+    await LocationBridge.updateConfig({
+      'serverUrl': _serverUrlController.text,
+      'deviceId': _deviceIdController.text,
+      'accuracy': _accuracy,
+      'distanceFilter': distanceFilter,
+      'interval': interval,
+      'heartbeat': heartbeat,
+      'offlineBuffer': _offlineBuffer,
+      'stopDetection': _stopDetection,
+    });
+
+    if (mounted) {
+      ScaffoldMessenger.of(
+        context,
+      ).showSnackBar(const SnackBar(content: Text('Settings saved')));
+    }
+  }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Replace _buildNumberField() to use controllers**
+
+Edit `lib/settings_screen.dart`, replace _buildNumberField() (lines 149-174):
+
+```dart
+  Widget _buildNumberField(String label, TextEditingController controller, int min, int max) {
+    return TextField(
+      controller: controller,
+      decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: label),
+      keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
+    );
+  }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Update the build() method to pass controllers instead of values**
+
+Edit `lib/settings_screen.dart`, replace lines 83-85 in build():
+
+```dart
+          _buildNumberField('Distance Filter (m)', _distanceFilterController, 0, 1000),
+          _buildNumberField('Update Interval (s)', _intervalController, 30, 3600),
+          _buildNumberField('Heartbeat (s)', _heartbeatController, 60, 3600),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Test manually**
+
+1. Open Settings
+2. Change Distance Filter to 100
+3. Change Interval to 60
+4. Tap Save Settings
+5. Close and reopen Settings
+6. Verify the values are still 100 and 60
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add lib/settings_screen.dart
+git commit -m "fix: settings number fields now properly save user edits
+
+Previously, TextFormField with initialValue created an internal
+controller and onSaved was never called because form.save() wasn't
+invoked. Now using explicit TextEditingControllers that are read
+directly in _saveSettings()."
+```

+## Task 4: Fix Memory Leak - Stream Subscription Never Cancelled
+
+**Problem:** The location updates stream subscription is never cancelled when the widget is disposed, causing a memory leak.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `lib/main_screen.dart`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add StreamSubscription import and field**
+
+Edit `lib/main_screen.dart`, add import at top and field to state class:
+
+```dart
+import 'dart:async';
+import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
+import 'package:traccar_client/bridge/location_bridge.dart';
+import 'package:traccar_client/preferences.dart';

+  String _lastLat = '--';
+  String _lastLon = '--';
+  String _lastSpeed = '--';
+  String _lastTime = '--';
+  StreamSubscription<Map<String, dynamic>>? _locationSubscription;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Store the subscription in _initLocationStream()**
+
+Edit `lib/main_screen.dart`, replace lines 52-67:
+
+```dart
+    _locationSubscription = LocationBridge.locationUpdates.listen((location) {
+      if (mounted) {
+        setState(() {
+          _lastLat = location['latitude']?.toStringAsFixed(4) ?? '--';
+          _lastLon = location['longitude']?.toStringAsFixed(4) ?? '--';
+          _lastSpeed = location['speed'] != null

+              : '--';
+        });
+      }
+    });
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add dispose() method to cancel the subscription**
+
+Edit `lib/main_screen.dart`, add after initState():
+
+```dart
+  @override
+  void dispose() {
+    _locationSubscription?.cancel();
+    super.dispose();
+  }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add lib/main_screen.dart

+
+The stream subscription was never cancelled, causing a memory leak
+when navigating away from MainScreen. Now properly stored and
+cancelled in dispose()."
+```

+
+## Task 5: Fix Heartbeat Mechanism (WorkManager Process Isolation)
+
+**Problem:** WorkManager runs HeartbeatWorker in a separate process where the static callback is null. The heartbeat never fires.
+
+**Solution:** Replace WorkManager with AlarmManager which runs in the same process as the service.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/location/HeartbeatScheduler.kt`
+- Modify: `android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/traccar/traccar_client/service/LocationTrackingService.kt`

+## Task 7: Final Integration Test
+
+**Files:** None (manual testing)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Clean build**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+flutter clean && flutter pub get && flutter build apk --debug
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Install and test full flow**
+
+1. Install the app on device
+2. Configure your server URL and Device ID in Settings
+3. Save Settings
+4. Toggle tracking ON
+5. Tap "Send Location" button
+6. Check Status/Logs screen:
+   - Should see "INFO: Tracking started"
+   - Should see "LOCATION: Lat: X, Lon: Y"
+   - Should see "SYNC: Location sent to server"
+7. Check your Traccar server - device should be ONLINE with location
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Test heartbeat**
+
+1. Wait 60+ seconds (default heartbeat interval)
+2. Check Status/Logs for "HEARTBEAT" entries
+3. Should see another "SYNC" after heartbeat
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Test offline buffering**
+
+1. Enable airplane mode
+2. Wait for a location update (should see "ERROR" in logs)
+3. Disable airplane mode
+4. Should see "NETWORK_CHANGE: Network: online"
+5. Should see "SYNC: Synced X buffered locations"
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Create final commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "test: verify all bug fixes working together"
+```
+

+
+## Summary of Fixes
+
+| Bug | File(s) | Fix |
+|-----|---------|-----|
+| Config not synced to native | `main_screen.dart`, `location_bridge.dart` | Send config via MethodChannel before starting |
+| ConnectivityReceiver not registered | `LocationTrackingService.kt` | Register in onCreate(), unregister in onDestroy() |
+| Number fields not saving | `settings_screen.dart` | Use TextEditingController instead of initialValue |
+| Memory leak - stream subscription | `main_screen.dart` | Store subscription, cancel in dispose() |
+| Heartbeat never fires | `HeartbeatScheduler.kt` | Replace WorkManager with AlarmManager |
+| Logs never cleaned up | `LocationTrackingService.kt` | Delete logs > 24h old on tracking start |
