        Hello

        I have tried the following trick to enable it:

        https://forums.ubports.com/post/88151

        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.
