Pulse crash on image save in power saving mode

Problem

With the power saving mode turned on, any attempt to save a photo, e.g. during an audit, entering an innovative idea or creating an action plan, causes the application to restart and go to the start screen.

This is due to the fact that the camera and photo gallery are, from the point of view of the phone's operating system, separate applications. By going to the photo taking function, the user de-facto goes to another application and leaves the Action plan Pulse. After a while, the operating system closes the Pulse application, and after taking the photo, the user starts it again, but on the start screen.

Solution

The target solution (programming fix) includes changing the way of launching the camera and photo gallery in such a way that even in the energy saving mode, the Pulse application is not turned off.

Currently, however, the only solution is to disable the power saving mode before working with the Pulse application.
