        In system settings -> battery you can configure the number of idle minutes after which the device auto suspends; set this to ^never* a MB d wait for some minutes and outside any building of course.

          Thank you very much! Outside it works after waiting 2 minutes 👍🙂
          Inside a building it loses connection 🙁
          Your advice was very helpful!

            The GPS receiver needs direct free view at least to 3-4 satelites.

                @stefwe Clear sky or cloudy, rainy? Or in a street with skyscrappers? Be more specific about test conditions.

                    Positioning must be switched on:

                        I tried "uNav" and "GoogleMaps" and in both apps the geolocation worked after a few minutes.

                          Hi guru,
                          apparently geolocation only works via GPS and not using the hotspots around (neither WLAN), hence I can not be located on the map while using the device indoors. Let's hope that this will be further developed in the future!

                            @Duke Hmm, indoor you should know where you are 🙂

                                When traveling abroad, it makes sense in foreign towns between skyscrapers, in restaurants or on the subway.
