Did you consider reading the details linked or going to Settings => Location and looking?

Seriously. How did you even install GrapheneOS without a little bit of self-determination?



I did look. There is: - Location Services - Secure User Plane Location - Predicted Satellite Data Service

It's not immediately obvious what I need to enable in order to get better location services, if it's already enabled, and whether the feature in the linked post even helps with the issue. Why are you so hostile?

I use Graphene for privacy without a massive hassle, I don't care enough about my phone ecperience to be really into it, I just want provacy. And generally GrapheneOS has been GREAT for this.


Why are all the privacy oriented people unhelpful, rude and condescending (like yourself)?


They're not, and engaging in prejudice puts you in the same camp as those you think you're generalizing against.


Not all are, of course. Hopefully it's a minority. However, in my experience it is a factor that many less-technical people are ungrateful and rude even if I spend hours giving them free tech support. I suppose because they expect niche privacy tech to 'just work' more easily. After experiencing that hundreds of times it can become difficult to not become jaded.


Unhelpful?

I provided directions for reviewing the settings, which this person could have simply looked up by visiting the link in the title.

Rude and condescending? That's subjective, but maybe yes it might have been rude and condescending. Oh well.
