Basically, GPS doesn't work on my device (Sony Xperia XA2 Dual Sim) with SFOS 3.0.1.14 (Sipoonkorpi). It can't find localisation in "device only" mode, but I can get very unaccurate localisation in "high accuracy mode". I used GPSinfo to examine the situation. I've noticed that it detects nearby satellites (around 26), but is unable to connect. Always 0 satellites in use, no matter how long I wait. Is there something I can do in order to get it working?

On the XA2+ I seem to have more trouble with establishing a GPS connection and determining my position than on the XA2.

It might be nonsense, since I don't really see a logic behind it myself. My Xperia X (F5121) always had huge issue finding GPS signal. Since I use PureMaps (found in Storeman), the correct location is found within 5 seconds. The improvement might coincide with a recent update as well, who knows. Maybe worth a try installing puremaps.

I have a weird situation, I don't know if it is related :

connecting to GPS satellites in Sailfish native apps eventually works.
Android apps are completely unable to even ask for a fix (the android layer correctly asks for perimission for the app, but once granted, the App waits for a fix, but nothing comes out. Not even Sailfish location indicator is engaged)

Do the other people in this thread have also trouble getting GPS to work for Android apps ?
