The problem

Describe precisely the problem you're facing and add screenshots to illustrate

With location turned on microG crashes and fixing location via cell towers does not work. GPS works

Steps to reproduce

  1. Activate location
  2. See frequent crash messages
  3. open app that displays both GPS and network location
  4. network location status switching with high frequency between enabled and disabled
  5. After a while GPS location fix shows correct location

Technical details

Worked correct with 2.8-t
