Advanced Privacy: Impossible to come back to real location after using random location

  • /e/ version: 1.0-20220526188859
  • Device model(s): FP3+
  • Device rooted: no

Summary

After enable Advanced Privacy and random location, I try to switch back to real location, and it does not work. Maps telling me GPS is not working, and Advanced Privacy failed to locate me, searching forever. I try to stop and restart Advanced Privacy, restart the phone with and without Advanced Privacy enabled, and nothing works.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

  • Enable Advanced Privacy
  • Use random location
  • Return to real location.

What is the current behavior?

After returning to real location, no application can use the GPS (tested with Maps, Transportr and Advanced Privacy itself.)

What is the expected correct behavior?

GPS location should be correctly displayed.
