- Some details about the topic: See detailed below, also here: Q: How can I change behavior of Location in Upper Menu - Turn on GPS immediately after enabling Location? - Design - Sailfish OS Forum
- Approx. time needed: 5min
- Substitute (optional): none; I can’t say if I’ll be able to make in into the meeting, but I want to point out this imho problematic/confusing thing and hope for an answer.
Location service always just starts to get a gps fix when an app activly requests it. This way geotagging of photo is not possible cause the time for a gps fix is still much to long (even on Xperia 10 III) - one can take several photos until the location data is there an added.
It’s unclear if that is a bug or feature (for saving battery) - but if it’s the last then there should be a toggle implemented in location settings to choose between the actual behaviour or an general fix after startup (including a regular update, maybe even with a time cycle setting).
