Parking app problems in Waydroid. UT 20.04 (OTA-4)

globetrotterdk

I am experiencing two issues with my EasyPark app in Waydroid. I am supposed to be getting confirmation SMS messages when I try to register the app with my phone number, but I don't receive anything. The other issue that I have tried with another parking app, as I can't re-register wih EasyPark on my Pixel 3a phone yet. The second parking app does not get any location information.

In UT, I have both uNav and GPS Toolkit working.

@globetrotterdk about SMS, I don't know, you should receive an SMS on UBports, but not in Waidroid, did you have GSM activated ?
About GPS, I'm not sure, but I think it doesn't work on Wayland, you must manually set your position.

@saveurlinux Hi again. I don’t see a GSM setting.

Sorry, but I think you mean Ubuntu Touch, not UBports. Right?

globetrotterdk

OK, so I can now confirm that SMS is working in Ubuntu Touch, but there is a problem receiving a confirmation SMS via my parking app.

@Moem yes it is

In general, GPS works under Waydroid. If it does not for you, then it is something device-specific.
This may also have something to do with Google Play Services...

I have the waydroid image without GAPPS and set up the microG stuff like described here, which works very well for me:

but there is a problem receiving a confirmation SMS via my parking app.

I don't think, that it is an issue of receiving, but more an issue of sending by the parking app.

@Luksus Interesting. I have another phone that I can setup tomorrow, to see if this issue is device specific.

globetrotterdk

I already setup my other phone. Unfortunately, that didn’t work for app generated SMSs either. However, I again installed the GAPPS version of Waydroid, as I need to install a couple of apps that are only available on Google Play Store…

@globetrotterdk Did you tried Aurora Store https://aurorastore.org/ available from FDroid ?

globetrotterdk

@saveurlinux Thanks. Yes, I have tried that. If I am lucky, I get an error message...
