Find device Function in /e/

Using /e/OS Applications

Wow—when I run adb shell dumpsys location I get a flood of information, and it isn’t clear what I should be looking for or what might need to be different from what’s currently shown.

I’ll note that, as mentioned earlier, location works fine—the Maps and Bliss Weather apps function perfectly.

However, Find My Device (FMD) does not work with either real or fake locations. In version 3.1.1 the phone sent back the secret code to the other device instead of coordinates; since updating to 3.1.4 it doesn’t even send that code anymore. Instead, the screen displays “Find my Device by SMS Tracking location in background” and a notification sound plays whenever an SMS containing the secret code arrives.

Maybe I should downgrade from Android 14 to Android 13, and then it would work? :thinking:

Maybe. I ordered a new phone from the store last week, and it has Android 14 on it. Half of the apps can’t be installed; they just crash without any error message. Pretty crappy, I have to admit.

Isn’t it because VPN is being used or the location is being spoofed…

That makes it impossible to use the application. Or you could turn off location spoofing, which would of course restrict the use of the operating system and security…
