Can you check if data was recorded?
You can use OSM Dashboard for this.

In general: sounds like a power saving problem.
Was battery saver on?

In short : yes, it is a power saving issue.

After having discovered that power saving was the culprit, I have tried a bunch of settings: power saving off, never suspended apps (not sure of the name of the setting in English) don't lock screen when phone is on you, and so on all in vain.

I have also read a closed discussion similar to my problem where you explained why you couldn't fix the bug. I understand your reasons.
I have also a very cheap Huawei bought for this use, phone where OpenTracks works as it should so I am ok with that.

Just one more information that could be useful to you : on the same phone where OpenTracks fails, AAT works well (nevertheless, I do prefer OpenTracks). Maybe the dev has find a clever way to work around this problem.
Best regards, and thanks for your app.
