GPS don't seem to work on FP5 UT 24.04 stable

Hello
I have tried the following trick to enable it:

to no avail.
I noticed this post:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android10/xiaomi-poco-x3/xiaomi-surya/-/issues/4
Using
journalctl -b -g "Unknown (group|user)"
I have exactly the same message in the logs of my device, could it be that this fix was not reported ? (note that I have lot of other users also cited, such as 'nfc', 'usb', 'bluetooth')
is there a way to check it by adding the rule by hand ?Update about 1 days later: I installed 24.04.1 daily, same behaviour. I have added an udev rule under /etc/udev/rules.d, it's seen and handled by the udev service, but it don't change anything. Currently trying to see if it's possible to enter the Android lxc container since I see (using ps) that there is a /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.gnss@2.1-service-qti running here and I'm curious if there is any log on what's it's doing or not.
Thanks in advance !

Duh ! I will close this stoopid post, I had not used seriously a smartphone since several years and did not realize anymore how sensitive to location Gps services are. I tried only in 2 places in my home and both where unsuitable. When I got out in the air, Gps started to work. So it is working, really. I did a stroll this morning and it updated its position. I have still to get my hands to another brand of smartphone on Android to compare with the Fairphone 5 under UT to see how well it is working.

Ubuntu Touch only has GPS from satellites so far, no AGPS from home wifi and so.
So you will not get fixes if in a "bunker" and android will get faster fixes in closed place also. -
@Keneda do we have a GitLab issue to follow progress for Fairphone 5? I find this is one of the phone's most important features, and getting AGPS (where Internet helps with the GPS fix) could really benefit users, helping UT usability compared to Android

AGPS is not really linked to a specific port (even if it can work on some devices it seems, but it's mostly unintended). It's tracked here

@gpatel-fr Perfect, thank you!
