      @gpatel-fr No, I haven't. The UBPorts code definitely has some stuff related with that (dating from the ubuntu era...), but I have not spent time looking into it. I looked into geoclue2 as reported in this other thread, and realized that what is described there only uses wifi or cell; Geoclue2 does not switch to gps afterwards because it connects to gps chips through modemmanager while UBPorts manages the modem with ofono instead... I believe it would be easy to make a geoclue2 plugin for lomitri-location-service to first get a quick inaccurate location from local networks through geoclue2, with lomitri-location-service later automatically switching to gps when a fix becomes available. Of course, a working native AGPS lomiry-location-service implementation would be cleaner and preferable (geoclue2 is essentially duplicating the functionality of lomiry-location-service). What I'd also like is to have gps apps continuing to receive fixes when the screen is off. I would very much like activitytracker to be able to record tracks, or PureMaps continuing to give routing voice indications while cycling, without the present unnecessary screen-on battery drain.

      A related fix was merged yesterday, So, it should land on our phones sometime when we update the OS.

      I still don't know how to make the sdcard appear directly on my desktop computer when I connect my phone, but I have a workaround : symlink the sdcard mount point in the /home/phablet directory ( = "internal storage" on the desktop computer). This is easily done using the terminal (or adb shell). Find the exact mount point of the sdcard using the command mount; it is something like /media/phablet/XXXX-YYYY. Then enter ln -s /media/phablet/XXXX-YYYY ~/sdcard
