Have a look here for Braveheart GPS https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9886 We also have our own PinePhone thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2403/pinephone/546 and Braveheart thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3931/pinephone-braveheart/46 If PinePhone questions could be kept to one of those it would probably help everybody interested in PinePhone.

@Eric this worked for my Nexus 7 LTE tablet, thanks!

@PhoenixLandPirat I understand. Edge gestures experience can vary depending on the physical form factor of the device. Bottom edge gestures can be harder to trigger when on landscape for example. The see that OP3 has a button at the bottom so that could affect the gesture 😅

@pixelated I guess you need to get used to it. Perhaps you're not using bottom edge gestures much? Try starting the swipe further below the screen 😉

Anyway, thanks for your feedback. This is off-topic in this thread 😂

@Lakotaubp yes, PinePhone
is what I have ubuntu touch installed on

You cannot use any Android tools on the pinephone as it has no Android parts inside. Those binaries you see are for the other Android phones we support.

Basically someone needs to write a new backend service that starts up the GPS modem and parses NMEA messages. That should then be fed into our locationd service, and from there it will be available to all Apps.

So yes, until someone writes this background service, you will probably not see much. You can of course try to work on some scripting that you could run with the terminal, but thats not really practical.

Also, this issue will affect all distro that have now a Pinephone variant, so you are better off discussing this in specific Pinephone groups rather than here.
