And:

But... with data mobile and gps "enabled" not geolocalization.

Thanks.

With latest system updates 5.10.6-2-danctnix, gps does not deliver any location information: `mmcli -m any --location-get

3GPP | operator code: 228 | operator name: 3 | location area code: FFFE | tracking area code: BB84 | cell id: 002BD002 `

with last update... location-get works... but.. without wifi enable... not works gps.

@juanantoniomosquera: With my phone it makes no difference whether wifi is on or off: GPS looks dead...

Hi there, what is the expected ouptput to prove the location services?

I get the following output:

root@pinephone:~# mmcli -m any --location-status

Location | capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb | enabled: 3gpp-lac-ci | signals: no

root@pinephone:~# mmcli -m any --location-get

3GPP | operator code: 262 | operator name: 1 | location area code: FFFE | tracking area code: 35E9 | cell id: 01959104

Location | capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb | enabled: 3gpp-lac-ci | signals: no

root@pinephone:~# mmcli -m any --location-set-enable-signal successfully setup location gathering

root@pinephone:~# mmcli -m any --location-status

Location | capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb | enabled: 3gpp-lac-ci | signals: yes

Turning on signals makes no difference:

root@pinephone:~# mmcli -m any --location-get

3GPP | operator code: 262 | operator name: 1 | location area code: FFFE | tracking area code: 35E9 | cell id: 01959104

Afterwards:

root@pinephone:~# sudo mmcli -m any --location-enable-gps-nmea successfully setup location gathering

root@pinephone:~# mmcli -m any --location-status

Location | capabilities: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-raw, gps-nmea, agps-msa, agps-msb | enabled: 3gpp-lac-ci, gps-nmea | signals: yes

GPS | refresh rate: 30 seconds

root@pinephone:~# mmcli -m any --location-get

3GPP | operator code: 262 | operator name: 1 | location area code: FFFE | tracking area code: 35E9 | cell id: 01959104

GPS | nmea: $GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,32 | $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N53 | $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C | $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66

But no success, the navigation map and gnome-weather can not find the gps service :-(

[juanantoniomosquera]

But not works, gnome maps says "Enable ubication" but i dont know.

`GPS | nmea: $GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,32

  | $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N53

  | $GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C

  | $GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66`

Above output proves that the GPS does not detect any satellites. For a location fix you need at least 4, but below 6 the accuracy will not be good.

[juanantoniomosquera]

NOW

But... gnome maps not works.

I think that the phone antenna is real bad!

[abysso2]

@Danct12 : Any idea how to solve this? Smartphone without GPS is not thaaaaat good as a daily driver ...

[jackghg]

A possible reason could be that the antenna is bent around the edge! But idk how to move the antenna (that is a sticker) to test... without breaking everything.

[abysso2]

Switched to latest mobian and tested - gps works there ...

[jackghg]

really ? how long to get the position (without internet) ?

[abysso2]

Less than 30 Seconds to get the signal, but the (in the beginnig) BAD accuracy increases within 5 minutes ...

I can get location to work in GNOME maps app however that is a full desktop app and it runs off the page in portrait so better in landscape. However the location button in notifications is always off ie you cannot toggle on or off their.

[hamblingreen1]

location is functional via Mepo maps on sxmo.

[AgentSmith0]

Somehow, it is only possible to get the GPS position (real precise position, not IP based or through GSM) when being connected to the internet. @Danct12 Do you have any idea how to get GPS work properly on PPP?

[AgentSmith0]

Nevermind, GPS works fine when manually enabling the modem and GPS via mmcli. Also geoclue needs to be manually started to get position data in Pure Maps.
