    @richtea999 said in Google's location:

    They have to set a minimum supported OS level, quite generously at Android 6.

    Why would they "Have to" do that?

    At risk of going waaayyyy off-thread if you want to make use any of Google's services (like the 'enhanced' location discussed) then you have to have at least Android 4.4.

    For Android 6 there was a major change in the OS where permissions became opt-in. Before that, apps could just suck information about the device and user with aplomb. That's the usual reason why 6 might be a sensible minimum to build for.

    Moving further up the OS versions, Google is well known for forcing app developers to support higher versions of OS. Note those are 'target' API levels not minimum, but as a developer you have to jump the hoops. They've been doing it since 2017, and it's a royal pain. However, I can also see why they do it. The main reasons are:

    • to force apps to meet the best security. Older libraries will have holes.
    • performance is generally better in the newer libraries
    • to avoid Google's library authors from having to support ancient devices ('ancient' being say 5 years old)

    @richtea999, That is great information and I can see you are knowledgeable about it. But I still think it is up to the developer what they write in their minimum system requirements, and what they want to actively support. People seem eager to use old unused phones to mount on their bikes, but that can hardly deliver a good first impression that way. It might be better to aim a bit higher.

    I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

      I see the app has now gone live with this issue. It doesn't work on any of my devices with Google Location Accuracy turned off. I cannot test or use the app.

        Is anyone working on this? I still cannot use the app and another release has gone by.

          @Whinging-Biker, Have you tried resetting your phone to factory defaults? I think it is a bit harsh to claim the issue as a bug since no-one else seems to have this problem. It likely is a phone or software issue on your device.

          Have you tried MRA on your devices also outdoors, or only from your couch or kitchen table? What I am think about is this: if you live in "Faraday cage", google location services will, with the absence of GPS data, entirely depend on the "improved accuracy" wifi/bluetooth signals. Hence perhaps the question about the setting, and not being able to "No thanks" it.

            There are code work-arounds that should let the user continue to use the app without Google's 'enhanced' accuracy.

            A few discussions here for MRA to have a read:

              @richtea999, What I was aimin at was, if there is no GPS data (because of buildings constructions or other blockage, the app might depend entirely on wifi and BT signals, and throw that message.

                  @Whinging-Biker, Whatever you want... There is a developers saying "It is not a bug until the developer says it's a bug". There are simply too many users NOT having this problem, while the problem seems to center around your household. Me too are trying to establish it as a bug, but since you are not answering my questions, I will stop asking them.

                    It's easily reproducible, Con. This is on Android 12, note, so it's nothing to do with old Android versions. I'd call it 'an unnecessary limitation verging on a bug'.

                    Here's how to recreate it - just 2 steps really:

                    1. Settings -> Location -> Google Location Accuracy -> Disable it
                      loc1.jpg
                      loc2.jpg

                    2. Open MRA, and you immediately get offered two options. Pick 'No, thanks' and you're stuck in an endless loop, i.e. you can't use the app:
                      loc3.jpg

                    And see this video from earlier in the thread:
                    http://www.poqit.com/MRA-loc.mp4

                    I think the point Whinging-Biker is making (quite aggressively, unfortunately) is that a single Google sub-option shouldn't disable the app, especially when location is enabled, the popup suggests its merely a 'better experience', and the detailed option page (2nd image above) says GPS will still be used.

                    I'm sure there's a work-around, but I can also imagine it's not the highest priority. One for the backlog!

                      OsmAnd implemented an option for us to select if we want to use Google API or Native Android API for location services, and I think MRA should do the same.

                        @richtea999, the funny thing is that it is NOT so easily reproducible, since I have been using the app from the get go without ever enabling that stupid improvement function. At least we all agree that we don't want to use that 😉

                        Another funny thing is that in our alpha group, we have one user that all of a sudden is also having this problem, he discovered it today. We have already been doing some testing, indoors/outdoors, with GPS fix/without GPS fix, checked the presence of a "real" compass (instead of fake direction data from the GPS stream). But have not found any plausible cause yet.

                        Interesting is that Dev tells me that the message does NOT originate from the app, but from the OS. That does not make it easier...

                            @richtea999, it is good to know that at least one of your devices handles this correctly. That rules out a lot of location based problems. When the dev team gets an idea of the cause of this strange issue, we will certainly let you know in this thread I think that can be tested excellently within the Beta program.

                            Since the request popup to enable the "improved" Location Accuracy seems to originate from the OS instead of the app, it might well be an Android bug we are running into.

                              We’ll definitely have a look again 🙂

                                @Whinging-Biker, Whatever you want... There is a developers saying "It is not a bug until the developer says it's a bug". There are simply too many users NOT having this problem, while the problem seems to center around your household. Me too are trying to establish it as a bug, but since you are not answering my questions, I will stop asking them.

                                It's easily reproducible, Con. This is on Android 12, note, so it's nothing to do with old Android versions. I'd call it 'an unnecessary limitation verging on a bug'.

                                Here's how to recreate it - just 2 steps really:

                                1. Settings -> Location -> Google Location Accuracy -> Disable it
                                  loc1.jpg
                                  loc2.jpg

                                2. Open MRA, and you immediately get offered two options. Pick 'No, thanks' and you're stuck in an endless loop, i.e. you can't use the app:
                                  loc3.jpg

                                And see this video from earlier in the thread:
                                http://www.poqit.com/MRA-loc.mp4

                                I think the point Whinging-Biker is making (quite aggressively, unfortunately) is that a single Google sub-option shouldn't disable the app, especially when location is enabled, the popup suggests its merely a 'better experience', and the detailed option page (2nd image above) says GPS will still be used.

                                I'm sure there's a work-around, but I can also imagine it's not the highest priority. One for the backlog!

                                I apologise if I seemed 'quite aggressive'. Quite frustrated maybe.

                                After comments such as
                                "Android 7? In that case I'm not surprised something like this happens"

                                "you could try to revive your blackview"

                                and then a claim that no one else has reported this problem when this person has been in conversation on this thread with 2 other people reporting this same problem more than 3 weeks before:
                                30/6/23 - Con Hennekens
                                @Whinging-Biker, Have you tried resetting your phone to factory defaults? I think it is a bit harsh to claim the issue as a bug since no- one else seems to have this problem. It likely is a phone or software issue on your device.

                                	3/6/23 - @Con-Hennekens I have the same, if I try to turn off Google location services I get repeated messages to turn it on 			and the app won't work without it.
                                	Samsung S22+ latest version of Android.
                                
                                	4/6/23 - It blocks me on Android 12 too so something is not quite right, but it's not the Android / API level.
                                
                                	5/6/23 - For Corjan, whenever you come back round to investigating:
                                	Video of the app being locked out by having 'Google Location Accuracy' off which shows:
                                
                                	    repeated tapping of 'No, thanks' and it pops up again
                                	    location is enabled when I pull down the Settings
                                

                                Also three other apps have been noted here as needing to code specifically to avoid this problem.

                                In this thread it has shown up in Android 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 on Blackview, Huawei, OnePlus, Samsung and Ulefone. Surely it cannot be just a problem 'in my household'?

                                All of the devices in my household have this same issue:

                                Blackview Android 7

                                  @Whinging-Biker, I think my statement about Android 7 is not so far fetched, since it has been abandoned by Google since 2020. What do you think you can expect from an app developer in such a case?

                                  @Con-Hennekens said in Google's location:

                                  Since the request popup to enable the "improved" Location Accuracy seems to originate from the OS instead of the app, it might well be an Android bug we are running into.

                                  The developer already claimed that the message you are getting does not originate from within the app.

                                  @richtea999 said in Google's location:

                                  I think the point Whinging-Biker is making // is that a single Google sub-option shouldn't disable the app.

                                  The app does not do that, the proof is in the pudding of the many users NOT having that problem.

                                  The dev team nevertheless promised to look into it.

                                  @Whinging-Biker said in Google's location:

                                  Surely it cannot be just a problem 'in my household'?

                                  I don't know. All the above shows "it surely cannot be the app". Truth is probably somewhere in the middle. But you obviously make a job of nailing "privacy" down on your phones. It could be an unpredicted outcome of a combination of a lot of privacy settings. Who can say. Android is a lot more complex than the app in that regard. I understand frustration to some extend, but there is no need for any angryness.

                                  I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                                    After seeing all this back and forth, I just tried it myself.

                                    This is 100% the app.

                                    Changing absolutely nothing else but the Google location accuracy and launching MRA. I get the pop up. Samsung Galaxy S23+ on Android 13.

                                    Now, it's not necessarily the app's PROMPT, but it's caused, by likely something in the manifest file telling it to use Google Location API instead of the Android location api.

                                    The app is forcing a requirement of the Google Location API. Period.

                                          @Matt-Flaming said in Google's location:

                                          Because they aren't turning off Google location accuracy?

                                          I have three different devices ALL NOT having this problem, and I am smart enough to disable these dreadful "improvements" of the location services, thank you. This is what I am telling from the get go in this discussion. It is too easy to say it is "just an App problem".

                                          But yes, I am pretty sure that MRA devs will have to invent a workaround to circumvent other parties enforcement of these location options. That's usually how it works with the Googles and the Apples in this world.

                                          I think there is not much to discus any further.
                                          MRA Devs promised to look into it. We will have to wait for that.

                                          I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
