GPS Position is not working on my FP5 / e/os 3.7.1 (and has not been working for quite some time)
Worth mentioning is that sometimes (VERY rarely) positioning seems to work for a few hours - but then it’s gone again.

I have installed “GPS Status” and I have resetted all cached GPS data (A-GPS)
I have location enabled (including wifi and BT scanning)
I have activated full GNSS measurements under Development options
I have tried with multiple map applications (maps, OsmAnd, Organic maps and even Google Maps)

It SEEMS that GPS Status manage to locate a number of satelites (r19, r8, r17, etc, etc…) - but for some reason the OS/Apps dosen’t get the position.

Any ideas?

So what I start to suspect (but Im guessing wild here, and Im no programmer) is that the issue is related to IF you have a google account added in the phone. And that there might be an difference if that google account is for AppLounge only, or if it’s “system wide”.

But again - just wild guessing…

I have the same issue! I have done a bunch of testing not sure what the issue is
