[SUP] Localisation detection #64

manup commented 2023年01月30日 19:34:23 +01:00

What is your problem?

I can specify a location, but I'd prefer Weather to select the current one.

So I tap on the symbol at the right of City (or whatever it is in english, I'm using a french UI) and... I get on the screen:

Détection de la localisation
Détection de votre localisation...

Which I guess you'll understand even if you don't read french, and nothing else, even dozens of minutes later.

Yes, Weather has the Position authorisation, and I tried to remove it and re-authorise it back.

So, what did I miss? And, the most important, what do I do to make it work?

Environment data

• Android version: 12

• Device model:Fairphone 3+

• Stock or customized system: LineageOS 19.1

• Weather app version:3.19.1

If you granted the location permission it should work, but it may take some time until the position is found...
I need to look into it (for the moment I will add the bug-label).

Thanks for the answser @Beowulf. By "it may take some time until the position is found", you don't mean half an hour, I suppose. And even 1/2h later, it's still displaying the same message.

Other apps that use positioning take a few seconds to do it.

1/2h is not normal, will try to reproduce and fix it

I got the same issue, also with LineAgeOS on a FairPhone3.

Hi, that said with latest version 3.20 recently updated on my phone, it seems to be working good. I mean, the app is able to change location. At least when I go into the location setting and tap on the "compass" logo (or whatever it is supposed to be) right to the current (previous) location.

Weird, I also have the 3.20, I have the location permission "allowed when app is in use", but the location icon doesn't show in the top bar (it shows if I open other apps).
I'm stuck at "detect location : getting your location..."
Could it be that I got LineAgeOS 18.1 and you have 19.1?

I can't say, but to be precise here's what I do:

• open Weather app
• tap on the pen right to the displayed location
• clear the field under City (or Town... Ville in french)
• tap on the compass at the right of this (cleared) field.

But as I'm doing it to describe it properly down here, it's not working anymore... :-/

It looks like the app does not activate the GPS to find out where the phone is.

Apart that, I get an app that locates my phone every X minutes (PhoneTrack to name it), maybe there's a side effect between the apps?

Well then we have the same issue.
I don't have PhoneTrack installed and I'm not aware of any installed apps having conflicts with each other.

I'll take a closer look at it later today.

If possible, test with 3.21-pre1 (available in my repo).

Hi, thanks @Beowulf to try and solve this issue.

But Weather as of 3.21-pre1 does not solve it: exactly the same as os previous release. The cuurrent location is not detected, I need to type it in the City field and select it in the value(s) proposed.

If you try again will you get a location?
Are you using the exact or coarse location (depends on the granted permission)?

Just gave it a try and it has worked.
But sometimes it works at the 1st try.

The thing is, when an app activates the GPS, a green dot is displayed at the top roght of the screen. When in Weather this happens, the location is detected.

Exact location (GPS + network)
