Erratic location behaviour in OsmAnd

soupslurpr

Developer-Dude in Settings > Location, what is SUPL and PSDS set to? Also, in location services, do you have network location enabled? If so, do you also have Wi-Fi scanning enabled? Network location has some privacy implications but it can help get a faster location lock or even be able to get a location indoors.

Developer-Dude

soupslurpr what is SUPL and PSDS set to?

GrapheneOS Proxy & GrapheneOS Server.

soupslurpr do you have network location enabled?

Yes.

soupslurpr do you also have Wi-Fi scanning enabled?

Also yes.

soupslurpr

Developer-Dude are you indoors or outdoors?

Developer-Dude

soupslurpr both.

soupslurpr

Developer-Dude okay, how does the behavior change if at all if you turn network location off?

Developer-Dude

soupslurpr turning it off, it seems to work better actually! I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes

Developer-Dude I also got the impression that this made the Gps-lock faster. It shouldn't work indoors though.

soupslurpr

Novaliss it should actually be faster with it on, but you might have to turn SUPL off.

Developer-Dude can you also try network location on but SUPL off?

Developer-Dude

soupslurpr OK, tried it. It worked normally. It has also been working normally now with SUPL on. Idk what the problem was in the first place.

Novaliss

soupslurpr faster with it on

I'm not sure, but have only PSDS ON, and the fix outdoors is always close to instantainious. Like it would'nt go the network route at all, skipping that step and this saves a couple of seconds?

soupslurpr

Developer-Dude Okay, that's good. Maybe some GNSS interference for whatever reason or random bug.

soupslurpr

Novaliss it's unclear why, but in my tests the fastest speed was with SUPL off, PSDS on, and network location on. SUPL on, PSDS on, network location on or off was slower.
