What could be causing this, and how could I go about fixing it? As I've mentioned, it used to work but started having this problem a while back (perhaps around the 26th of December, since that was the last GPS access). The weirdest part is that when I open a different application that uses geolocation (in this case, MapFactor Navigator) and the location marker does show up at the top of the screen, the correct location does show up in Citymapper as well (this is my current workaround, and this is how Citymapper gets the last known location I mentioned above). in the system settings > Location, 'Recent location requests' are shown, but Citymapper is not on that list.įurther to this, Privacy Guard reports that 'Fine location' is being accessed by Citymapper every time I use the app, but it says that GPS was last accessed on 26 December 2017 (Privacy Guard controls separately access to 'GPS', 'Coarse location' and 'Fine location').the location marker doesn't appear at the top of the screen as it would when an app is using geolocation.the location Citymapper shows is incorrect (it shows the last 'known' location - see below for details).If location is on, Citymapper doesn't complain (so, it thinks it's working), but I know it's not accessing the location for three reasons:

I have Privacy Guard enabled on Citymapper, but access to location is allowed, and as before, disabling Privacy Guard for Citymapper doesn't fix the problem.Ĭitymapper 'thinks' it's accessing location, but it's not: I say this because when I disable the location marker for the device, Citymapper complains that 'Your location is disabled'.

'Location mode' is set to 'Device only' (i.e., GPS only), although I've tried turning 'High accuracy' on to test, and it doesn't fix the problem.

The Location permission is for Citymapper is turned on.

I'm using Citymapper 6.23 on LineageOS 14.1.

This hasn't always been the case, but I'm not sure exactly when it started (so, can't say if it's because of a certain update etc.). There's a strange situation with Citymapper, where it doesn't access GPS location directly, but it does if a different app is accessing location at the same time.
