        Hi everyone, this is my first post.

        May I know if Ubuntu Phone just uses TTFF for GPS fixing, not assisted-GPS or A-GPS?

        I noticed on some replies here that it's only TTFF that Ubuntu Phone uses and that's good. We still value privacy, right?

        I am just concerned because I found out that the other good Android ROM, LineageOS, uses A-GPS, which uses supl.google.com servers.

        I tried scanning the code but couldn't find it there but found the TTFF, which is what I actually want.

        Thanks in advance.

          Ubuntu Touch (that's what the OS is now called) most definitely does not use A-GPS. If that's a worry you have, I would say that's a reasonable thing to worry about but you can stop now. :smiling_face:

            Yes, Ubuntu Touch, haha. The phone thing got stuck as I used to read about it when it was still with Canonical.

            Whew! Thank you for confirming. I couldn't see it in the code either. Not using A-GPS is definitely privacy freedom.
