      Hi everyone, this is my first post.

      May I know if Ubuntu Phone just uses TTFF for GPS fixing, not assisted-GPS or A-GPS?

      I noticed on some replies here that it's only TTFF that Ubuntu Phone uses and that's good. We still value privacy, right?

      I am just concerned because I found out that the other good Android ROM, LineageOS, uses A-GPS, which uses supl.google.com servers.

      I tried scanning the code but couldn't find it there but found the TTFF, which is what I actually want.

      Thanks in advance.

        Ubuntu Touch (that's what the OS is now called) most definitely does not use A-GPS. If that's a worry you have, I would say that's a reasonable thing to worry about but you can stop now. :smiling_face:

        Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

          Yes, Ubuntu Touch, haha. The phone thing got stuck as I used to read about it when it was still with Canonical.

          Whew! Thank you for confirming. I couldn't see it in the code either. Not using A-GPS is definitely privacy freedom.
