GPS Help Request

Instead of tweaking the screen timeout, you can prevent suspension of phone for gps app using Ubuntu Touch Tweak Tool app from openstore.

cliffcoggin

@keneda Agreed. In fact preventing app suspension via UTT is better than keeping the screen on continuously because it only applies to that particular application. All other apps are suspended as normal for maximum batterry life.

That's interesting. I have the Lenovo TB-X605F version which , unlike the TB-X605L version, is WLAN only.
I wonder if that could be the explanation?
I am sure Luksus has the L version because, as part of porting, he would have been implementing LTE dependent functions.

Luksus

@dtarrant Yes, I have the L version. It would be interesting which version @MrT10001 has.

Since UT does not support A(ssisted)GPS, I would have thought, that SIM-card or an Internet-connection does not matter, but who knows...

Please make also sure, that GPS-rights are given to the apps, checking System-Settings, Security options.
What I also did, was turning GPS off and on again, then restarting the app, just in case it helps in any way.

Which Lenovo TB-X605 are you using, F or L?

Keneda

@dtarrant i don't use any, just came here to point UTTT ^^

MrT10001

I have the "F" version.

@mrt10001 @Luksus
Well that's encouraging. I need to try again.
When I hunted down the data sheet on the Lenovo website, I learned that there may have been some product revisions over time. I have just checked the box and it says:
Mfg Date: 2019-11-05
The data sheet I downloaded has much more detail than the Quick Start Guide that came in the box.

@dtarrant The manufacturing date on mine is the same as yours.

I am happy to confirm that today I got a fix with uNav!
This was outdoors and took about 15mins.
I carefully followed the advice given in your previous posts, so many thanks for all your contributions.
