Thread: GPS UTC Time Unavailable

Hi all

There is a strange issue on my S5 New (Android 6 *)... My GPS tool finds GPS UTC Time Ok, Nextgen GPS softs say that it is unavailable (but the FIX is ok)

It affects Sunrise/Sunset, so in Auto-mode sky toggles to Night earlier than expected & to Day later than expected

I am living in France, my GPS position and Time Zone are Ok
- the GPS Tool displays the good values ---------> 07:03 - 20:38
- the Nextgen softs infos display bad values ----> 09:41 - 18:18

On my others smartphones, all is Ok.... with the sames APK, Skins, Parameters, sys.txt

Does somebody has an explanation ? possibly a solution ?


* Perhaps this Android version is too old and some recent Google updates do not meet perfectly ?

Most possible.
The LocationManager class (Location Object) in your Android system has a certain bug i guess
Official build?

Hi

Yes, official Samsung ROM 6.0.1

I am unable to say when the issue exactly appeared (I left it at home, device OFF, during my holydays) but probably after Google applications updates (device ON) at the beginning of 07/2024

As specified, it is not a big problem, all the others GPS functions work perfectly

I post the question only out of curiosity

@BIBUOT
Try 2 options:
1.

Spoiler: sys

[gps]
always_valid_rmc_time=1
always_valid_gga_time=1

In regional settings, set your time zone in relation to GPS time.

2.

Spoiler: sys

[time_provider.gps_time_provider]
enable=0
priority=0

The date and time in the iGO program is determined not by satellites, but by the date and time in the device...

Hi

@ batiskaf : I tested your two options... the second one is WORKING WELL !!!

Before confirming that to you, I will see if the sky toggles at good time this evening

Edit


@ batiskaf

I confirm that with your second option, toggling between Sky-Day <--> Sky-Night is working perfectly under Israel / PAL / Avicsync and LUNA on my Samsung S5-New (Android 6.01)

Big THANK to you..........
