  • Ensure location preference is set to “Always” or “Always Allow”. Drive Safe & Save runs in the background to start, record, and stop trips. Setting other than “Always” or “Always Allow” will not allow the Drive Safe & Save app to record trips, which could impact the discount.
  • Poor Location quality impacts the phone’s ability to determine speed and/or distance and can affect the trip details that are logged.
  • The trip will appear to be shorter than expected if connectivity to the Bluetooth beacon was lost because Bluetooth was turned off. Leave Bluetooth on at all times while driving.
  • Low phone battery can impact trip recording and Location quality. This can be avoided by plugging in and charging the phone while driving. Keep phone battery life above 20% at all times.

    The state farm beacon will record yield signs as bad cornering each time you drive. Therefore, giving you a bad rating on this. Something, state farm should fix. Also, my beacon didn’t record after 26 days and 275 miles. Phoned the 800 number and representative said it was on their I T end problem and would be fixed later in the day. I did lose a record trip in the morning.

    I just put a new beacon in yesterday and it only recorded one trip of 4, tried all of the above and wondering if it’s something on your end.

    Trips are not recording, app reads 0. Deleted app and reinstalled. No difference. Permits are ALL set for Always.
    How to fix?

    Trips don’t post, or don’t post until days afterwards. What’s up with that? They used to show up quickly, or at least on the same day.
