Hi everyone
In on e/os with fp3 and about every 10 minutes the location pin appeares in the notification bar. Yet location is turned off. When i go to settings to see what app used it sais “no apps requested location recenty”
I asked this question in the telegram e/fundation feed but nobody replyed to this(i got answers for every other issues there). And this makes this whole thing fishy.
Does anyone else had this? Whats happening?
In the top right corner there should be a “three vertical dots” menu. There you can enable to also show system apps that are using location. I assume this will show something more than an empty list.
Every time I open an app that has location permission the location icon pops up for a short moment in the status bar even if location service is off. I hope it is a “mistake” by the system but not a real location fix. It would be too short for that anyway. The opened app is not shown in recently requested location then but system apps that provide location fix.
I have tryed this. Empty list it is…
I was wondering this as well, I think it’s the weather app, unless you have it set to custom location it will periodically check you location for it’s current weather.
I already posted it in the other thread, but forgot to post it here as well.
Possibly those issues are connected, even though it’s /e/ here and FPOS there:
I also wonder why e.g. the Bliss launcher (home app for e) needs access to location?
I currently installed it via fdroid on my official fp-android but I guess it’s the same directly on e.
Reason is:
Hi and many thanks for this information,
I had also a longer time(2-3 weeks) this location issue under /e/,
I have installed the “apex classic launcher”, and have not accepted its
access to location, now I have give free access and after that and a restart,
it worked for me well…thank you!!!
