No GPS on Oneplus 5T

[mihael]

I'm on stable chaannel. test_gps gives "GPS interface not found". Of course, location does not work in maps, etc. Is there anything I can do?

@mihael I am on a Pixel 3a. My GPS works in uNav. But I also get this output with test_gps:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ test_gps
*** setup signal handler
*** get gps interface
*** GPS interface not found :(
 Bye! 

So I guess the test_gps script is not a good indicator for the working of GPS.

How have you concluded that your GPS does not work? Have you kept the screen on and been outside for up to 15 mins to 30 mins for your device to get a fix?

@mihael stupid question maybe, but is location switched on?

[mihael]

@arubislander Yes, the location is switched on. Thank you.

@arubislander Ok, I will do that now. I'm new on 5T and previously, on Meizu Pro 5, it was working imediately to detect the Location in uNav.

@arubislander Hey, it worked!!! It took less than five minutes! Thank you!!!
