New phone, sadly Strava will only record the time, no distance. Not even able to export, as when I try it give me a "discard or resume" option only. Trying Endomondo, and the one time I've used it, it worked ok, so I guess I have to get used to exported from there to strava till the end of the year and then just keep logging on endomondo from then on.

Have you checked you haven't switched off the GPS? might even be worth turning the phone off fully and restarting again.

At least you appear to be on a suitable bike, I thrashed my singlespeed on an offroad segment onto to find out I started at the wrong point
It would be quicker if it was in 'normal' mode - i.e. lightweight Michelin Trail tyres and no guards. I recon I'll easily beat the time when it's dryer as I had to slow down on the descent (wet leaves and mud). I recon a cross bike would be much quicker though. Potsy ?
I’ve checked the GPS (and Wi-Fi) is on, and that it is running the latest Assisted GPS download, having already the cache . I’ve installed "GPS status" app, and run "GPS monitor" to check the satellite availability. My "navigation" software app works fine and places me within 5metres of where I am. I’ve installed GPS test and it tells me I’m using 8 of the available 22 US satellites, but none of the Russian GLONASS system. Endomondo worked on the one occasion I have used it. And Strava does not find me or track me. Used to work on my X10 mini pro, but not on my Xperia U.

Weird. You can export rides from Endomondo to Strava although it is a pia.

Not been down that segment Foss, been up it just before I got the Garmin on the hybrid, so no idea of time, remember it being muddy then and my slick tyres were not happy

I use the CX bike on the TPT but again with slick but wide (35's) road tyres.
Noticed another segment you did where for some reason I have only ever posted 1 time, despite being down there lots of times
have turned the 'lock to road' off again, will try it next week.

It is muddy from the 'estate' down to the Tunnel, so needs knobblies. Bit muddy from the Tunnel to the tarmac 'downhill' section near the new Spark Retail Park.

Oh that's a shame, I thought the Sony Android phones looked reet sexy! I may be stating the obvious but have you been into the Android settings and enabled GPS or 'share my location' or whatever it will be called on your version of Android?
I now use Locus on my phone to record GPS tracks, then upload them manually to Strava. You can turn up the settings to get the most accurate track possible (or turn it down if you're desperate to save the battery), and it has GPS status info so you can be sure you've got a good fix before heading out
(It's also worth having just because it's the best mapping app).

I've been using Locus for ages.
Yes you can run both Strava and Endomondo at the same time
