        My new FP4 no longer recognizes the GPS.

        test_GPS results in:

        *** setup signal handler
        *** get gps interface
        *** GPS interface not found 😞
        Bye!

        Reboots (and waiting 1h+ outside in open field) don"t make a difference and Waydroid also does not detect the GPS.
        I am not sure when exactly this problem came up but it did work after initial installation in 4/25 (UT and Waydroid). It may have happened after OTA-9 update but I am not sure. Could LineageOS update inside Waydroid have anything to do with it (I don't think so because there should be no access to system partition)?

        Any suggestions on how I can narrow in on the issue e.g. hardware vs. software? Any specific log-files to look after, configuration/ini files to remove/replace ?

        All help very much appreciated.

          Hello.
          Were you using the correct version of Android before installing UT?
          Have you tried installing Waydroid and then the satStat app on it?
          Just to make sure the problem is with the software or the hardware?

            @Vlad-Nirky Yes, I did. The FP4 came with Android11, yes and I tried the SatStat App in Waydroid as described in a previous thread. This is how I noticed that it was not working in Waydeoid. The GPS did work after initial UT and Waydroid install.

              Bad news...
              Maybe you'll have to return to Android and test to be sure the hardware has no issue.
