DESCRIPTION:

When using OSMand or Enroute Flight Navigation a GPS Fix i quickly found, but when moving the position is not updated any more.
Using Pure Maps or OSMScout it works flawlessly

PRECONDITIONS:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Start Android Apo

  2. Wait for gps Fix

  3. Move around

EXPECTED RESULT:

Position should be updated

ACTUAL RESULT:

Position stays unchanged, even when moving. In Enroute the Position marker gets grayed out, meaning no GPS Connection.

MODIFICATIONS:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Thia doesn’t affect all android apps. I think this is related to the GNU bug we are currently seeing in some apps, but just a guess

Ot definitely is. Just tried again with HereWeGo: if it hangs just tilt the phone into landscape mode and it refreshes, hangs again, tilt tbe phone back to portrait mode and it refreshes… It is THE bug.

BTW just tapping he screen has thr same effect.

In Enroute I get a fix once, GPS Signal is received on startup. When I watch the status page, for the next try I get no GPS available. Leaving the app towards the Panel View and maximizing it again gives another single fix.

Changing orientation does nothing for me.

Can somebody point me in a direction what logs to check? I found nothing primarily interesting in journalctl or lxc-attach logcat.
