GPS broken again in Björnträsket?

Anyone else noticed problems with the GPS (in Android apps) after updating to the latest version Björnträsket (1.1.7.24-25)?

I've been driving ap. 1000 km using the Nokia HERE Android app a few weeks ago, and it worked fine. But after updating it's not able to find the location all the time.

Noticed the same in Tracker last week when I was in the forest. Then I also noticed that the satellite signal was missing, but when holding the phone over my head I managed to get 7 (yellow signal).

I think to be able to check if GPS is actually working, you have to be in a area with bad Internet, or turn of the Internet positioning support ...

I saw some postings that uninstalling and reinstalling the apps could help, but that shouldn't be necessary every time we update Sailfish, loosing settings etc?
