Hi folks,
since my last flight about two weeks ago my Samsung Tablet S9 with Anroid 16 can’t get any location data from the built in GPS. My backup Samsung phone works correct.
At home the same problem occurs with an older Samsung Tablet S3 running Android 9. We use both tablets without any issues for years. All other GPS based apps like Google Maps or Windy are working correct. When I tap on the location button on the bottom right corner the GPS sign in the status bar on the top right corner appears for a few seconds followed by the message "Your location cannot be obtained at this time"
I’ve already tried restarting the tablets, using older SkyDemon versions, checking app permissions and settings and so on without any sucess.
The problem only occurs on the tablets, our Samsung smartphones SkyDemon retrieves the location data. All devices use the same permissions and settings!
Does anyone have any ideas?
Greetings
Bernd
