Revision history [back]

I'm using Wechat (>700 million users) and Baidu Maps (>300 million users), and I can't get the apps to get the location info. To reproduce the problem in Wechat, open Wechat and select "Share my real time location" with a friend. Wechat cannot retrieve the location information. My friend and my wife has the same problem on their Jolla, so it's not just my phone's issue.

Interestingly enough, another popular app Didi dache (>150 million users in China) can get the location info within seconds. I suspect this app use a different location method, maybe through cell ID?

Anyway, this needs to be fixed because those apps have so many users, and you can't live in China without those apps.
