GPS not working on Galaxy S9
- /e/ version: 1.10-q-20230412278812-stable-starlte
- Device model(s): Samsung Galaxy S9 SM-G960F
- Developer mode enabled: yes
- Device rooted: no
Summary
The GPS simply does not work, or with an extremely degraded performance. With GPSTest in excellent conditions and after a lot of patience I can get a fix (with a wrong year), but in normal circumstances, I just never get any fix in any app (and do get crashes in some apps that depend on GPS).
This is similar to bug #5984 (closed) except for starlte instead of star2lte.
I do not know if this is related but let me note that location determined from Wifi is also very imprecise, in practice it is not usable as a substitute for the malfunctioning GPS.
Solutions
No known solution. I had to give up GPS completely and use a fictitious location (as this avoids the crashes mentioned above in various GPS-dependent apps).
