Localization switches to Battery saving mode

/e/OS Devices Fairphone

Hi everybody,

The localization service switches automatically to the Battery saving mode. This means localization works only via wifi, bluetooth and cellular. Especially using the corona-tracing-app, this behavior is not appreciated.

How do I set the service to continually use GPS?

Many greetings

Just want to say that the corona tracing apps only need Bluetooth. They don’t need GPS or WiFi location checking at all, so you don’t need to worry there.

Don’t really have an answer to your issue but just wanted to point that out.

I am speaking about the german app. It needs the location-service.

You were right. This link explains, why localization is needed though.
