I am planning to write WP7 app, which needs to send to server phones GPS position every 5 minutes. Data must be sent to server even if app is not running. One way to do that is to use Background agents (I am using 7.5 Mango), but in that case app will send data only every 30 minutes, which is not acceptable in my case.
Is there any other solution?
Thanks in advice.
No, this is not a supported usecase for WP7 apps on Mango. Also, it’s important to mention that the location you’ll get for GeoCoordinateWatcher on a background agent is a cached geolocation from approximately the last 15 minutes and not the real-time geolocation.
What exactly are you trying to build if you don’t mind me asking? This sounds oddly close to spyware. Even if it’s innocuous and meant for a good purpose, I’d be careful walking in any direction that constantly shares GeoLoc with a remote server.
