I got an Xperia XA2 device, the GPS positioning is still quite slow compared to my Xperia 10 III.
Has there been any work to port whatever made it better on the Xperia 10 III?
This is a hardware issue of XA2 phones. However, you can try reading this thread. People report to have improved fix times by just opening the phone and cleaning the internal contacts of GPS antenna [How-to][Hardware] Fix XA2 GNSS(GPS): Let's Try harder - #51 by ric9k

I have an XA2 PLUS miraculously working with gps, the steps I did are:
1.- Reinstall android
2.- Install sailfish os again
3.- Install android app support
4.- Install micro g (optional)
5.- Install geoclue provider nominatim
6.- Activate GPS (custom setting)
7.- Run GPS SATELLITE LOCK through CSD (if you get connection to some satellites in a few minutes you are on the right track)
8.- Download Pure maps from chum to try or you can also download here maps or google maps from aurora store.
I hope it helps you.
What’s CSD?
