Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services! https://grapheneos.org/

    That’s weird. Everything that needs GPS location works great for me. I agree that it does take a bit longer to lock, but it’s only about 1 or 2 seconds longer.

    My OsmAnd~ works amazing.

      @jjlinux@lemmy.ml That’s my experience too, a bit of a lag — I can live with that.

      1-2 seconds would be absolutely fine with me, even like 10 seconds would be tolerable… Idk, that sounds really interesting, a lot of people have been saying that it appears to be a problem on my side. Maybe I’ll give it a try again in some future, but now, unfurtuntately, I’m kind of locked into the Apple ecosystem again… But thanks for that insight!

        I wish I could be more help, but its always worked for me since I started using GrapheneOS about 4 years ago.

        The one thing I can think of is a misconfiguration on SUPL and PSDS.

        If you still have access to a GrapheneOS device maybe you could take a look there.
