[How-To] Pokémon Go with GPS on Jolla 1
This is how I finally got to play Pokémon Go with GPS. This guide is based on this question and this question. Edit: This Guide is tested with the Jolla 1. Jolla C is apparently working out of the box.
- Install Google Play Services. Check that you're using the latest version. You can download the latest version there. Choose the "-034" version.
- Install google maps and launch it. You should get a message prompting you to give google apps access to your position. Grant google maps access, then close it. You can remove google maps afterwards.
- Get a Pokémon Go version that is modded for android 4.1. I used the file link under "method 2" in the description of this video, but I can't guarantee for the integrity of that link. Simply use your favorite search engine if that doesn't work.
- Only necessary if GPS isn't working otherwise: Install "gps info" from the jolla store. Launch it before launching Pokémon Go and wait till it has as found your position (You might need to go outside ;)). Then let it run in the background.
- Launch Pokémon Go. Choose "Pokemon Trainer Club" (google doesn't work), register an account and then log in.
- Enjoy!
Is this for Jolla or Jolla C ? My Jolla C has been rocking Pokemon Go nicely, no issues with gps or anything.

Chillin ( 2016-07-26 18:06:44 +0200 )editI'll just note that the Google Play services you install need to be up-to-date. I've apparently installed an outdated version and GPS did not work. This is how to fix that (eq. how I did it, I'm sure there are other ways):
After this GPS should work fine in Pokemon GO (still run GPS info first just in case :) ).
MartinK ( 2016-07-27 02:20:18 +0200 )editIs it possible to get around the requirement of Google Play services? Has anyone tried this with MicroG? I read through parts of a thread on TMO but did not get much wiser.
Anyone tested Pokémon Go on the Jolla Tablet?
