Device: Galaxy A3
OS: Android 8.0 with microG
microG: 0.2.10.19420
meteocool v 1.5.5
Issue:
(Remark: Location Accuracy is turned on and I always have the correct position via Wifi/mobile networks)
- indoor (no GPS):
When pushing the locate me button, I get the error "schlechtes GPS-Signal" (bad GPS signal) and nothing happens. Other apps show my correct position. - outdoor (good GPS signal)
When pushing the locate me button, nothing happens. Other apps show my correct position.
probably this behavior is related to microG..?
I am currently working on a redesign according kind of this issues. I cannot say that this is related to a specific device but I do know that there can occur some problems about the location settings and the attachment to the javascript interface.
I hope my update will fix your issue aswell.
Please be patient and stay tuned!
@obifur I also tried it on my other device (Sony Xperia Z3 compact) with LineageOS without Google Services. Is it possible that you also have a custom android without Google Services?
Between meteocool version 1.1 and 1.5 i changed the location service from the manual one to the google location service. So this could also be your problem.
well, as I wrote, I use a stock rom but removed original google service and replaced it by microG. It contains a "Service Core (GmsCore)" and a "Unified Network Location Provider (UnifiedNlp)". This should have the same functionality and apps shouldn't notice it.. I think.. However I'm not an expert on this but all other apps I use do work.
I don't run this setup anymore, so I can't reproduce it. Also another guy with this setup seemed to have the same problem with other apps like "clevertanken" and found a solution by downgrade microg to 0.2.6..
So probably this issue was not related to you app and I will close it :)
