        The GPS is not working. I've installed UT20.04 on a OnePlus 6T, turned on GPS in the system settings, installed Pure Maps from the UT App Store, and granted it GPS permissions. However, it still can't initiate location services—it just keeps spinning the progress circle when trying to search for nearby locations.How to fix it?

          @dafeihong Are you taking into account that the first fix may take a long time because we don't have A-GPS? Give it half an hour, out in the open, keeping the screen awake; it should work. Next time will be much quicker. And the more often it's used, the faster you'll get a fix.

          Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

            @dafeihong for me it helped to open a maps application like Pure Maps, disable the screen lock and leave it in the window for a while.

              Thank you all. I'll try it out later and feedback the results here. It should be just as you've said.
