iFly GPS Forum

Yep, I changed settings to allow "install unknown apps" from the Google files app and retried the install. It worked from the files app correctly. 

From your descriptions, it sounds like the location fix being passed from Android to iFly is the "low accuracy" solution, which is not GPS-based, but rather based on Google's awareness of wifi network locations and other gross-level location cues.  It's weird that this problem seems to be unique to Pixel devices.

Looking at the Log file I'm given the impression that iFly is for some unknown reason losing its connection to the Location API (that is, the location information is NOT being passed to iFLY consistantly). I can run Google Maps and GPS Reset apps concurently with iFLY and they report my position, direction and speed instantly with no delays. They also report strong signal locks while iFly indicates weak or no GPS signal. I know other phone makers are having GPS problems with Android 12 also but the Pixels are certainly standing out in this thread. Again, I notice that the location icon in the notification/status bar never shows when iFly is running. My older phone running Android 10 never misses a beat with iFLY (and always shows the Location icon.) Just seems strange.

Any chance you might have some sort of "battery saver" mode engaged that could be restricting use of the GPS receiver by some apps?

I've tried it with battery saver on and off. No diference. I have also given iFly unlimited access permission to the Battery and Location.

Also, check your app settings for iFly and confirm that Location is set to either "Allow all the time" or "Allow only while using the app", and that "Use precise location" is selected (slider is to the right).
