Bug Description

June 30th 2015
After installing the germany_badenwuerttemberg map on my internal memeory I could use the app for half a day. Worked perfectly. Suddenly my internal memory was almost full. And with every restart of my phone the available memory got less. Up to 0% left. Then I deinstalled the OSMScout app from my phone which brought me again 2.7gb of free space on my internal memory (strange since the map I downloaded was around 400mb). After reinstalling OSMScout on my phone I was not able to use it anymore. the screen freezes if I want to select anything. Furthermore telegram shows no chats anymore and freezes, too, if I want to select anything (coincidence?) since this happened. And Here maps shows only a white screen since I installed OSMScout.

July 1st 2015
HERE Maps is working again. Telegram and OSMScout still freeze. I did nothing actively to fix HERE Maps.

Telegram now shows chats WITHOUT internet connection but freezes after a while. I will write a bug report in the Telegram launchpad.
OSMScout still no change.

"After choosing target location, it calculated route and began navigating. Everything worked as expected, but after few minutes the app closed herself unexpected.

Furthermore :
The Application crashes after a short ime
The Application freezes often after about 10 minutes
The Application shows for a Second the image of the startposition"

I have installed the version from openstore https://open.uappexplorer.com
to be able to use my SDCARD for my Maps ( /media/phablet/<sdcardid>/Maps ) to save memory.

Ubuntu shouldn't allow any interaction with Hera Maps and Telegram, it could be that the os is blasting your kernel log full.
check the size of /var/log/*
This appears to me like an os problem, not an app problem.
Please run "du -h" from terminal

Changed in osmscout:
importance: Undecided → Low
