About Ingress Helper

Who didn't experience this: While playing Ingress, the screen turns off. After you just quickly checked emails, Ingress needs ages to get a GPS fix again. With Ingress Helper this doesn't happen anymore and it's more fun to play!

Features:
* Free of charge.
* No adds.
* Keeps GPS active: no more waiting for a GPS fix if you left the game...
* Keeps screen active.
* Starts Ingress automatically.
* Quick access to the settings through Notification.

Notice: To terminate Ingress completely, leave the game and remove the game from the recent app list or terminate the game with an application manager of your choice. Otherwise, the game might still be running in background.

Like how? Ingress works the same without it honestly...

At least so far on my ZTE ZMAX!

I loved it and used it every day to "car-gress". However, I just upgraded the OS to 5.1.1 and now this app no longer works when I need it to most. In the car. It no longer seems to be able to prevent the screen from shutting off so there is no point in using it any longer, as that is the main reason I used it.

A70%
by A####:

used to work great, but it doesn't work correctly with Ingress since I updated to 5.1; Ingress quits immediately when put in the background while this is running, and it keeps the screen on constantly, while not in the Ingress app.

The screen goes black and is locked when I don't touch the screen

Keep my screen on, but I have to turn my gps on manually

Y70%

This app works pretty well still, but there are a few problems since the Dev has left us all in the dust. Google has made loads of changes to the game and Android since the Dev released this App. Yes it works, but not all the features work all of the time. If the Dev would stay current, and keep up with the changes coming from Google on both Android and Ingress then this would be a 5 stat App. I simply can't give a good rating when the Dev cannot stay current.

Developer doing a very poor job of updating. App doesn't always work 100%. Screen dim function iffy at best on Android 4.4.2, Helper will also stay on for long periods of time despite ingress being off/shut down. Things need to be updated and work better with the constant updates to ingress.

Tasker can do this and many more things like auto sync for portal submission, toggle gps, sounds, data etc

N70%
by N####:

This app was better before the update.... now it freezes in the middle of the game and is just generally buggy, force closed a couple of times. Was fantastic before the update.... :( I am running cm10.1....nothing else changed on my phone beside the update so whatever changed caused the problem. Thank you for the app though, I am sure you will get it worked out.

This app needs an update of its own for dealing with the update, it does nothing for the game now, it's like I don't even have this app any more. It's gotten that bad.

N70%
by N####:

This app sure does the job. But does it really need a persistent unswipable notification? Couldn't we access this app using the normal os functionality?

X70%
by X####:

Dev is not doing a great job of updating in a timely fashion. App needs tweaks since Android is now 4.4.2 and ingress is updating all the time. Solid app for the most part just needs to stay current

Hangs up play frequently. While it does keep the display on it still allows the display to dim after a few seconds of no touch.

Works, but keeps the screen on even after you quit ingressing. You need to remember to terminate the app.
