What is your carrier? Or maybe it is C2 issue?
Why carrier ?
I start collecting, it shows me the accuracy and collects nothing
So no report to send.
Why? To collect a log you do need at least one tower cell id.
gps position and unfortunately access to calls to access the towers
all enabled.
on both apps: no priveledges declined or however it is called on android
Ok, and i supposed you started the service right?sorry for the stupid question
you mean: did i start the recod button ? yup
Wonder if adding wifi positioning to sfos would make sense, using GitHub - denysvitali/where-am-i: A small utility to show your location based on nearby Wi-Fi networks getting super precise location in seconds while inside a building

Does anybody know how to âpoisonâ standard gps service with arbitrary coordinates? The wifi positioning above relies on apple services so there is 0 (literally ZERO) chance jolla incorporates it officially, yet, it works and apple servers get almost zero information about the guy who queried them, no appleID is sent/needed, you just send them MACs and get coords back, the privacy advocates can shout at us as hard as they want, but I would still like a way to inject the coords we get from apple for initial fix to get 3 sec gps fix even in buildings as an option, is there a way to cheat(or maybe âhelpâ) sfos gps with coords like those? (and for apple haters, there are also google servers that provide same service afaik, so choose your poison, just it has to be community provided one donât bother jolla with such ask)
Edit: and yeah this works on your HP and Dell laptop, apple gets thousands of these per second, so you could if worried about them tracking you by IP send multiple requests with x ones with predefined MACs and hide your real one inbetween⌠Apple really doesnât give a f about your jollaâs position, but itâs still optional, so better stay away, still would be a great option for less paranoid folks
Edit2: or someone could offer a proxy like graphene does for agps queries until apple realizes itâs offering service to competitors and blocks it
Ignoring the X-Y problem here, sounds like you could write a GeoClue plugin to use this service.
That being said, some further reading on the service:

None of these are about using their service for location, and yeah, who knew if your AP is announcing your MAC/BSSID publicly it will end up noticed by iphones too, if youâre worried about it and paranoid just randomize MAC and AP name, but thatâs irrelevant to the âgetting quick location fix on phoneâ
soooo, despite what i was saying before, i later discovered that in my device (as of now) beacondb does not help at all, sigh, so i decided to remover everything and reinstall the original mls package, waiting for 5.1
is the command in the quoted message enough for reinstalling the original service?should i delete also the gps_extra.ini file?
