I have been trying out find out why my device location is reported as “Unknown” and has only been reported once (when the mobile app was set up). Most posts ask me to check if I have enabled in the “Manage senors” settings (ref. point 4 of the troubleshooting guide), but these settings are simply not there in my app. What can be the cause of this?
Here is a screenshot showing that they are not present:
Are you using the version of the app from the play store? Location tracking isn’t available on the minimal version
I am using the F-droid version. I see now from the version name that that is the minimal version. Thanks for the help!
PS: Any idea why they don’t have the full version on F-droid?
F-Droid does not allow Google services which location tracking uses
Ah, ok. Then I’ll stick with the minimal version: Don’t want any Google services on my phone.
Thanks very much for the help anyways!
if you only care about home and away detection, use the wifi connection sensor…it updates as soon as you connect/disconnect to/from wifi
