        I have a Volla 22, and the time it gets a GPS fix in Waydroid is very short. I haven't seen anything comparable in any of the other devices where I've seen UT running (and I have seen Nexus 5, OnePlusOne in the 16.04 times, and original Volla (crazy), Pixel 3a XL and Fairphone 5 in the 20.04 era.)

        I've seen it getting a fix even indoors and getting the correct fix even if changing completely location, so I doubt it is using a cache.

        One would suspect it is using a-gps in Waydroid, but if I understand correctly, a-gps uses the cell towers and so needs an active SIM card, which Waydroid does not have.

        I've seen this only happening in Waydroid, if I use GPS from a native UT app the time to get a fix is the "normal" one for UT, that is, quite slow.

        I don't know if anybody else has this same experience.
