[Lucio Carreras <1426307@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Oliver,
I am not using the krillin stable channel, if you meant that. I once ran 
into a endless reboot loop and I had to flash again. Since then I have 
been using the ota-releases (currently r9). Before that I had real 
problems with GPS and after that I immediatly went to Poortugal and 
Spain and everything worked really really great. In Germany it does not. 
In the cities ok, but not in rural areas. I am an outdoor fan and the 
GPS simply does not work there. Maybe I get a location fix there. But 
after screenlock turns on it's like roulette if I'd ever be able to get 
a fix again...

I don't wanna troll here or play the angry-man but I made the experience 
that with a Garmin or Android device it is working without Wifi and/or 
SIM card. Even the BQ Aquaris 4.5 I am using works with Android. And I 
just feel betrayed that I bought the Ubuntu version of a phone and the 
only sensor that is working reliably is the accelerometer.

I am a developer and Linux enthusiast, too. This is the reason because I 
bought this phone. And I just wanna share my experience with the 
developer in order to help him increasing the qos. But I could do better 
if I'd know how to get debug output or if there'd be a lower level 
possibility instead of QML to gather information about the GPS device.

Greetings, Lucio
