[Xperia X] [Xperia XA2] [4.5.0.19] GPS: Lost position in flight mode
#2

Confirmed on my Xperia 10 III and on my XA2 Plus. It is a regression to 4.4.

#3

Thank you for your bug report. May I ask you to update the regression section and write yes?

#4

Confirm that behavior on Xperia 10 / 4.5.0.18. But GPS works on restarting it manually (off/on in upper menu) while staying in flight mode.
