Or solving a problem with some network providers. I will call them and will ask about. 
What do you want to solve with your provider?
Unless the request is worked by the technical service there is no way to have a technical answer by the customer service. I need patience to escalate such kind of issue and once I almost resolved it, I am fine to wait.
A suggestion taken from their support web page is to install a modem config Android app and run it to tune the them connection. I found few of them but I did not tried them yet because it is not an ugent matter for me, anymore. However, it will be interesting to verify if an Android app can influence the hardware behaviour and thus the SailFish OS performance because this is a hot topic.
You seem to have missed the point: All APKs at Aptoide are potentially malicious, because anyone can upload anything there. Consequently any new version of a formerly benign APK at Aptoide might be malicious. Hence one shall not use Aptoide at all. All software at Aptoide is available elsewhere, because it only hosts APKs uploaded by users!
Furthermore the Aptoide client app has become a data collection tool long ago and Aptoide has been having multiple security breaches (including all user accounts credentials at least twice).
What’s about Aurora Droid (market), instead?
???
Aurora Droid is a F-Droid client app, which is unmaintained since spring 2021. Hence it cannot be used “instead” of the Aptoide client app, because it does not access Aptoide.
In contrast to that advising to install the Aurora Store app from F-Droid to access the Google Play store makes a lot of sense.
I am looking forward to that.
If you experience issues with the guidance for Patch developers, please file an issue, so your specific question(s) can be answered and / or the documentation improved.

Confirmed: “anyone can upload anything there.” was overlooked. Now, the UpToDown is going to be installed from its own website:
and about APToide, I suggest to not install at all.
Why Jolla put APToide in their market and/or they did not removed?
UPDATE #5
The new v0.0.7 patch is available on Patch Manager Web Catalog.
Probably, it works also on XA2 but I did not check that its original gps.conf is the same.
Cheers, R-
Have you ran some tests without AGPS? These fix times look very long to me.
Using a free UDP VPN that slow down the clock sync of the modem/GPS which is extremely important for such hardware subsystem and getting 30s in cold start after a reboot is a short time, IMHO. Without the patch, there was no hope to have a fix indoor. I did not tried suplpatcher but everyone who tried and I asked about did not gave me any numbers.
I will try later wihout the VPN on my terrace. Just to see how fast is when it meets optimal conditions, instead the worst. As far as I rember, also my Samsung smartphone after a reboot takes its time to gave me a fix indoor. I never take the time, obviously but it was long enough to be perceived. If A-GPS fix on SFOS performs in a way that I did not feel the lack of my Samsung, then it is good enough in dealing with the cold fix.
POST SCRIPTUM
After all the proof-of-concept has been delivered good enough to stimulate Jolla employes to tune it for the best. As an begginer amateur, I think that I did enough.
Suplpatcher for example is not needed on th X10iii. It was the only way on the XA2 to disable TLS in the modem because it is not possible to upload new certificates. On the 10iii TLS is disabled by default.
What’s about x10ii? Before setting the XTRA CA PATH, it was behave like XA2, indoor.
Thanks for the A-gps patch, I was too lazy to find out how to edit config files myself, especially as I don’t really understand what I’m doing

I in my great stupidity installed aptoide and now I can’t uninstall it from app launcher, it keeps coming back. Would uninstalling from terminal work and what is the command?
Try to remove it from the Jolla Store. Instead, by command line would be something like this:
devel-su /bin/sh
pkcon search aptoide
pkcon remove aptoide (or whatever the search returns back)
I hope this helps, R-
Well, Aptoide is gone now. A-gps patch was working completely fine yesterday but it suddenly stopped working at night. Only change I remember doing was installing triple camera toggle. I tried removing it, no effect, A-gps won’t activate anymore.
Mine stopped to work with the VPN but still work with the plain 4G connection. I suppose, you have installed the 0.0.8. I am going to deliver a 0.0.9 soon. The new might fix your problem but it does not seem able to fix the one related to the VPN.
I’m not using vpn. It was working just fine even without sim 2 activated, I tried activating it now but no diffrence. I also tried older versions of patch.
I relesed the new one but I do not think that will change the issue which probably it is related to this lines:
# this is modify for xtra Donwload interval
# only valid for mobile network data
XTRA_INTERVAL = 86400
I will try with this interval set to zero just in case the modem saved it into a non-volatile memory. If you want try by yourself switch off the GPS, change the config and execute:
systemctl restart ofono
Then try to use the GPS when everything raise up again.
BTW, which device are using X10 II or II?
10 III and i have definetly no energy to try anything right now.

On X10 on mobile data and outside it works really instantaneous… Inside it’s a totally different story
Did you tried the last version v0.1.0 of my PM patch available on Web Catalog?
The cold start takes near 30s indoor to fix the point with my X10II while in every others conditions¹ is pretty immediate.
NOTES
¹ except when using a UDP VPN IPv4-only with no leaks but I am working on that
