GPS not working [Solved] #15

Open magdesign opened 3 years ago

magdesign commented 3 years ago

Device: Oneplus 6 (A6003) OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (2021-07-31/2) stable channel

Apps using GPS are not finding GPS at all, even after leaving them open for a full day. In terminal, after entering test_gps

I get:

*** setup signal handler ***
*** get gps interface ***
GPS interface not found :(
Bye!

Location detection is on, also tried with wifi enabled and disabled and with switching to RC channel... nothing did help.

Do I need to install a GPS driver or something? Any help very welcome.

It's also not working on droidian, however it worked some time ago on ut, back in the days when we were using GSI...

This also happens on my 6T. I can also confirm that, when i was using the GSI, the location services worked quickly and easily.

@erfanoabdi have you applied some patches to the systemimage/rootfs to make GPS work?

MrCyjaneK commented 3 years ago

currently gps is not even working under waydroid

magdesign commented 3 years ago

It seems to be working now ;-)

What I did:

sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_locationbg this will remove libc-ares2(dont know if this info is important)

Then enabled everything like location, mobile data, wifi... rebooted the phone several times... Going out for a few hours, check location with puremaps... voila.

I'm wondering how I'll do that on droidian, lol ;p but good it works on ut

Lets us know if you figure it out! Maybe digging in this pull request might lead you into a direction: https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/lomiri/-/merge_requests/6 https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6191/call-for-testing-background-location-updates?_=1629051082654&lang=en-US

This workaround does not work anymore on OTA-21 or newer. When applying sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_locationbg the phone will hang at kernel boot-screen... Therefore reopening the issue.....
