Does GPS require an installed simcard?
#8
Could this be a regional (perhaps provider / type of sim card) issue?
I have two pinephones (1.2). One is running mobian+phosh, the other is running manjaro+phosh.
I toggle a SIM between those devices and can absolutely confirm, that mmcli refuses to enable location, if no sim is installed
In my case, after location is successfully enabled, I still have no location in gnome maps (wifi and mobile data working).
- does not work out of the box
- does not work with AT commands sent with mmcli
- does not work with AT commands sent with minicom

In January, I was able to get a location (out of the box) that was about 70 m away from my physical location.
Sorry, I can not say, which build I used at that time.

My location is Europe, Germany

Regards

btw: I observed, that every time, the device locks itself, the modem number changes.
Like a round robin, it is starting at 0, counting up, every time, the device locks.
Is this intended?
