      Hi everybody,
      I managed to install UT on my MI A2 yesterday and I'm as happy as can be πŸ™‚
      Sadly the GPS doesn't seem to work. I tried uNav and SensorStatus, no GPS whatsoever.
      The device info page says it should be working. Anybody having the same problem or can it be a problem with my device? (got it used off of ebay)
      cheers, nils

          @dingodoppelt I donΒ΄t use GPS myself, but I heard several times that first finding of satellites etc takes a a bit more than a couple of minutes....unfortunately I can no longer find the entry, where I read this.

            Yes that's right.
            A-GPS (Assisted GPS) is not available (yet) on UT.
            So the first lock can take up to 30 minutes depending on your GPS coverage.
            And you also need to be outside.

            The screen should be unlocked during the whole time because it disconnects when going on standby mode.

            Until next reboot the following fixes should be faster (less than 5 minutes in my experience).

              I confirm the long time to first fix. I also prevent suspension of Puremaps, Unav and OSM Scout Server using UT Tweak Tool instead of keeping the screen unlocked.

                I gave it another try and patiently waited for the satellite fix.
                So it is working as well. Perfect πŸ™‚ Thanks guys.
