Hi!

Just noticed on my Jolla-C that it seems like the Android support for GPS will not work if Dalvik is turned on when Positioning is off in Sailfish.? That is: Dalvik is not tracking Positioning on/off. Can anyone verify this

Have seen the same issue on Jolla 1

On the Xperia X, I've noticed I need to start GPSInfo or some other native app in order to get a fix that can then be used in Andoid (e.g. Waze).

On the Xperia X it just takes a while before it gets a fix. In my experience. Allthough it might work faster if you have a native app that gets a fix first.

I am not really talking about the fix here. The Android layer seems to see a non-existant location service and will never change the state. Restarting the Android layer with location services on will fix the situation.

Doesn't work for me :/

GPS with Jolla App is okay, but Android doesnt work.
