Geolocator does not return coordinate

[wanoghoco]

Geolocator does not return coordinate sometimes in android 11, it just returns error after a while.

And sometimes it returns wrong coordinate if I don't forceAndroidLocationManager and sometimes, the location icon does not come up on my Device, sometimes it comes

**Version: 8.0.3

Sorry to say but you don't really provide a lot of information which makes it really hard for us to help. In your issue report you mentioned:

Geolocator does not return coordinate sometimes in android 11, it just returns error after a while.

Please post the error details (stack trace + log information). If you run the App from your PC/ Mac you can use the -v flag to receive verbose logging:

flutter run -v -d <device_id>

Note: replace the <device_id> with your actual device identifier (you can retrieve it using the flutter devices command).

Together with the error details please also provide the following information:

1. The output of the flutter doctor -v command;
2. Provide information about the device you are testing with (emulator or real device, make en model);
3. The contents of the android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file (IMPORTANT: remove or replace sensitive information);
4. Clear steps we can use to reproduce the issue (preferably accompanied with sample code on how you are calling the geolocator).

This is possible, the Android FusedLocationProviderClient makes use of several sensors and API's to try and acquire a location. If it cannot acquire a GPS fix it will might try to triangulate your location using the cellular network which is often not precise. In other cases it might use information from a WiFi network or Bluetooth connections, which all might not be accurate.

Of course there is also the possibility that the GPS chip in the device is malfunctioning, if you have the opportunity try testing on an other device as well.

Hello,

i'm facing the same issue with the "example" project from the lib. I works fine on android emulators but with several physical devices ( including OnePlus 6T Android 10 and a Galaxy A25S Android 11 ) getCurrentPosition just never returns.

When tapping on the "location" icon it display "Permission granted" and stops here, no logs are displayed ( event with -v option )

Tell me if you need any other information, and thanks for the plugin !

Here is my flutter doctor -v
