Parking app problems in Waydroid. UT 20.04 (OTA-4)
-
I am experiencing two issues with my EasyPark app in Waydroid. I am supposed to be getting confirmation SMS messages when I try to register the app with my phone number, but I don't receive anything. The other issue that I have tried with another parking app, as I can't re-register wih EasyPark on my Pixel 3a phone yet. The second parking app does not get any location information.
In UT, I have both uNav and GPS Toolkit working.

@globetrotterdk about SMS, I don't know, you should receive an SMS on UBports, but not in Waidroid, did you have GSM activated ?
About GPS, I'm not sure, but I think it doesn't work on Wayland, you must manually set your position. -
@saveurlinux Hi again. I don’t see a GSM setting.

Sorry, but I think you mean Ubuntu Touch, not UBports. Right?
-
OK, so I can now confirm that SMS is working in Ubuntu Touch, but there is a problem receiving a confirmation SMS via my parking app.
-
@Moem yes it is

In general, GPS works under Waydroid. If it does not for you, then it is something device-specific.
This may also have something to do with Google Play Services...I have the waydroid image without GAPPS and set up the microG stuff like described here, which works very well for me:

I don't think, that it is an issue of receiving, but more an issue of sending by the parking app.
-
@Luksus Interesting. I have another phone that I can setup tomorrow, to see if this issue is device specific.
-
I already setup my other phone. Unfortunately, that didn’t work for app generated SMSs either. However, I again installed the GAPPS version of Waydroid, as I need to install a couple of apps that are only available on Google Play Store…

@globetrotterdk Did you tried Aurora Store https://aurorastore.org/ available from FDroid ?
-
@saveurlinux Thanks. Yes, I have tried that. If I am lucky, I get an error message...
